Legislative solutions to gaps in Armenian legislation in the field of conflict of interests in public sector

Abstract

Regulation of conflict of interests in the public sector is particularly important because if they are not appropriately recognized and controlled, the power of public officials becomes unpredictable. Though it is difficult to imagine a scheme of legislative regulations capable to cover all the gaps in the existing system, it is possible by taking into account the numerous conditions and factors surrounding conflict of interests. My research will aim to reveal basic gaps in legislation, define the challenges involved in addressing them, and provide new toolkits for a more advanced regulatory framework.
