dc.description.abstractUse of administrative resources for the purpose of obtaining advantage within an election campaign is currently a widespread phenomenon. This is also true for countries with developed democratic traditions. Certain political parties and candidates resort to the misuse of their authoritative powers and capabilities. The above-mentioned problems are particularly acute in emerging democracies. Shortage of stable democratic traditions, as well as high levels of political culture and stable standards of public administration ethics together create an environment where formal legislation constitutes the major tool for misuse prevention. Accordingly, the forms and tools of the use of administrative resources in the electoral process advance incredibly fast. It is common that in such countries administrative resources are applied via advanced tools requiring an instant response as well as the introduction of new restrictions and prohibitions. International standards and domestic legislation are simply unable to respond to such new challenges due to lack of time. Nevertheless, should the adjustment of national legislation be carefully and relatively quickly carried out, new forms and manifestations of officials’ misuse of power to achieve their political goals undertake other forms. The Ukrainian experience of combating misuse of administrative resources in elections is challenging and indicative. National legislation contains a number of instruments that implement international standards and solid election management practices. The experience of the application of such tools is also quite rewarding and demonstrates a vast amount of achievements. At the same time, the named tools still leave gaps illegally utilised by politicians and officials.en_US
