Yolsuzluk bilinçli bir şekilde kaynakların etkinsiz kullanımı davranışıdır. Blockchain teknolojisinin şeffaflık ve hesap verebilirlik açılarından güçlü yapısal özellikleri bu teknolojiyi son yıllarda yolsuzlukla mücadele kapsamında tartışmaya açılan çözüm yollarından biri haline getirmiştir. Türkiye’de de yaklaşık son on yılda 16 puan düşen yolsuzluk algı skoru yolsuzlukla mücadelede var olan mekanizmaların reforme edilmesinin yanında yenilikçi teknolojik desteklerin gerekliliğini göstermekte ve bu çalışmanın da önemini oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı Türkiye kamu mali yönetiminde Blockchain teknolojisinin uygulanabilirliğini açıklayıcı ve tartışmacı bir yaklaşımla araştırmaktır. Bu çalışmada Blockchain teknolojisinin kamu sektöründe ve özellikle kamu alımlarında kullanılmasının yolsuzlukla mücadelede potansiyeli incelenmiştir. Blockchaini Türkiyenin kamu mali yönetimine entegre etmenin zorlukları ve fırsatları değerlendirilmiş ve bu değerlendirmeler sonucunda kamu mali yönetiminde Blockchain tabanlı bir sistemle şeffaflık ve hesap verebilirliği artırmaya yönelik öneriler getirilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları uzun vadede Türkiye kamu mali yönetiminde Blockchain kullanımının şeffaflık ve hesap verilebilirliği güçlendirebileceğini; fakat bunun için yasal, teknik, kurumsal, siyasi ve sosyal bir takım kısıtların aşılması gerektiğini göstermektedir.

DIGITALIZATION IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION: FEASIBILITY OF A BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SYSTEM IN TURKIYE

Öz

Corruption is a deliberate behaviour of inefficient use of resources and this global problem is being tackled with solutions such as blockchain technology. The strong structural features of blockchain technology in terms of transparency and accountability have made it one of the solutions discussed in the fight against corruption in recent years. The corruption perception score in Türkiye, which has decreased by 16 points in the last decade, demonstrates the necessity for innovative technological supports as well as reforming the existing mechanisms in the fight against corruption and constitutes the importance of this study. Therefore, the aim of the study is to investigate the applicability of Blockchain technology in Türkiye's public financial management using an explanatory and argumentative approach. In this study, the potential of using Blockchain technology in the public sector and especially in public procurement in the fight against corruption is examined. The challenges and opportunities inherent in integrating blockchain technology into the public financial management sector in Türkiye have been thoroughly evaluated. The study's findings indicate that the long-term integration of blockchain technology in Türkiye's public financial management can enhance transparency and accountability. However, it is crucial to address the prevailing legal, technical, institutional, political and social constraints to ensure the successful implementation of this technology.
