EQGP concept: Principles and models of expert quality control of the government policy

Abstract

The article studies the problems of quality and efficiency of public administration. The article describes foundations of a new concept of public administration – the concept of expert quality control of the government policy (EQGP), which is an effective way to improve the quality and efficiency of government in post-industrial (information) society. In order to improve the efficiency of government administration, it is necessary to improve the mechanisms for forming public bodies and to implement monitoring mechanisms into the system of public bodies formation. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to activate expert communities (“expert factories”), to enhance expert and analytical activities both at the stage of formation of public bodies (examination of election programs) and monitoring of their activities (examination of reports). Depending on the positions occupied by experts in the decision-making system, four models of expert control have been identified. The features of each model are presented. The article also describes the basic principles of EQGP.
