ОСНОВНІ ПРИНЦИПИ ТА ЗАСАДНИЧІ ЦІННОСТІ ДЕРЖАВНИХ ІНСТИТУЦІЙ

Abstract

The research is devoted to understanding the problem of effective work of state institutions, as well as identifying the causes and consequences of the loss of institutional memory. Philosophical and general scientific methods of scientific research were used for this purpose, in particular the comparative-historical method, the method of system analysis, the comparative-critical method, etc., which helped to identify the causes of the loss of institutional memory. It is substantiated that philosophy is an effective methodology of «understanding» (in the language of H. — G. Gadamer), which performs the function of analytical work. It is established that the effective functioning of state institutions is the basis for the development of a smart society. After all, institutions do not work without the rule of law. Based on sociological analysis, it is substantiated that the effective work of state institutions depends not only on the rule of law, but also on the values professed by society. It has been established that inefficient work of state institutions is always inequality. The higher the inequality, the higher the risks of social conflict. Namely, inefficient work of state institutions leads to social tensions and social conflicts. Components such as legitimacy, state strategy, overcoming inequality, law and social values are important for the effective functioning of state institutions. Undoubtedly, the loss of institutional memory is one of the most threatening trends, as «freedom without borders» turns into «arbitrariness», «responsibility» into «irresponsibility», and sometimes «impunity», respectively, only effective institutions are a prerequisite for the law-governed state, where the rule of law is addressed to the individual, respect for his rights, freedoms and dignity. Undoubtedly, in order to make qualitative progress in the field of public administration, it is necessary to promote the growth of «human capital», ie to invest in education, to model the socio-humanitarian strategy of Ukraine. And, thus, to educate and form people of the new generation who will not imitate, but really create those social institutions that will reflect our true values. It is investment in intellectual capital that will build a country of equal opportunities and equal access to justice.
