General characteristics of civil service systems

Abstract

The article deals with elucidating the general features of various systems of civil service organiza-tion. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that Ukraine's participation in globalization and European integration processes reflects the necessity to study the experience of states that make up the Western law tradition, which should focus on civil service systems, based on the state's tasks within democratic societies and permanent public administration reform in Ukraine. The focus is on the distinguishing of three classic systems of civil service organization that are immanent to the European community states: career, job and mixed system. It is indicated the prevalence of career models within the abovementioned states. The determinant feature of the modernization model of the civil service is the management of purely public interests and demands.
