Abstract

This research is based on the scope that the disruptive technology known as Blockchain has to face corruption in different phases and spheres of government. This technological method is increasing its acceptance in various socio-economic aspects in recent years, the paper's emphasis is placed on Mexico, and nevertheless it practically can be used to reduce corruption in all countries around the world. The materials and method carried out for this research was a literature review in diverse databases with the most recent literature where some applications, uses and hypothetical cases of the implementation of Blockchain within the government framework in order to reduce corruption were highlighted. The results of this research suggest that the Mexican government can reduce some types of corruption, especially those related to money and collusions, such as biddings/government tenders, government procurement and acquisitions, audits in government agencies, in the embezzlement or diversion of funds, as well as in land registration.
