Summary/Abstract: The anti-corruption and bribery policy was an important concern of the new Romanian leader of the PCR. Being in a moment of maximum contact with society, the regime relied on a systemic approach to the problem, focusing in the first years on attempts to fight corruption by introducing legislative provisions and norms, intended to regulate fields and relationships considered by regime susceptible to developing various forms of corruption. The administrative reform of 1968, in addition to the fact that it was intended to connect directly the local authorities to the superior party decision, it was also a salient attempt to destruct the informal networks from the local level and to promote a new generation of party leaders.
