The article shows that, based on a study of social morality, it is possible to identify negative phenomena that entail the emergence of corrupt relations.

The analysis of some customs and traditions, historically formed in society, made it possible to conclude that there are some negative aspects that contribute to the emergence of corruption relations. Their change is possible by forming a different attitude to the corruption component of customs and traditions, based on the upbringing of a person’s moral integrity.

The development of criteria for harmonizing micro- and macroeconomic interests is a rather labor-consuming methodological task. The difficulty lies in the fact that its solution requires a multifaceted approach, the development of issues from the standpoint of political economy, the theory and practice of state building and public administration, its legal support, as well as philosophy and sociology. There is no doubt that the solution of this difficult problem is possible only within the framework of systematic studies of economic processes and generalization of their results. In the center of institutional reforms are not only the problems of formation of social utility of the goods, but also the problem of constant reduction of socially important costs for its creation. It is necessary to arrange so that any member of financial and economic process received the income depending on usefulness which he or she gives to society. The establishment of institutions of coercion was important in resolving the problem. With their support, it is likely to overcome the opposition of market players who are obliged to adapt to the macroeconomic situation.

The article reflects the origin and development of state-building processes on the territory of Belarus in a historical retrospective. The author notes that even in the Middle Ages, ideas about statehood were based on the principle of the spiritual and moral inherent value of a man, the ideas of interstate and inter-ethnic harmony and mutual understanding. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the national idea took shape as the spiritual and ideological imperative of the formation of an independent and self-governing Belarusian national statehood. It embodied in the proclaimed BSSR, but took shape as a full-fledged sovereignty of the people in the early 1990s. The basic values of the people of Belarus, their traditions and historical experience were formulated in the state-legal norms, which have approved the notion «state for the people» in public consciousness and political-legal vocabulary. At the same time, the citizenship of a particular person is an important factor in the development and strengthening of the national Belarusian statehood.
