Political and bureaucratic corruption may take many different shapes. Numerous scholarly and professional forums have documented the causes and impacts of corruption. Developing nations struggle to implement reforms to reduce and fight the widespread corruption that is a result of a number of economic, cultural, social, and regulatory reasons. Systems for e-Participation and e-Government may significantly reduce corruption. We analyse the many theoretical models, empirical data, and findings linked to e-government and its role in thwarting corruption via a thorough literature study of over 100 published publications. We analyse and compile the review to develop four main topics on the correlation between e-government and corruption, and we provide a comprehensive model of the same. We also look at the difficulties related to each subject. We think that this model can be verified by researchers in many settings, and practitioners might see possible solutions differently with the aid of such a comprehensive knowledge.
