MODERN WAYS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMATION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

The article identifies six main directions of political and administrative reforms in the leading EU countries: first, informatization and de-bureaucratization; and secondly, new managerialism; thirdly, decentralization; fourthly, service administration; fifth, «Good Governance»; sixthly, the reform of the public service system. Informatization and de-bureaucratization mean the transition from the concept of classical bureaucracy, based on the hierarchy and closedness of the management system, to a new information paradigm based on open network structures and management of results. The new management involves the borrowing of advanced developments and the basic principles of management in business management, which implies a modern view of the organization as a flexible «balancing» system that can adapt to the challenges of the external environment. The most successful ideas in this direction were «organizational cybernetics», the principle of managing the results, reducing microcontrol, active material incentives for labor, and others. Service administration or the idea of the administration as an appeal to the service is a new understanding of state bodies as service providers to citizens. Decentralization (de-concentration, outsourcing) is to lower the decision-making process at grass-roots levels – where problems arise. «Good Governance» is mainly aimed at overcoming such shortcomings in new state management as a secondary issue of solving social problems and, as a result, increasing social inequality and poverty, especially in developing countries; erosion of the role of the state and civil servants in public relations; the emphasis on the universality of the proposed methods of reform rather than the institutional context of each country. Reforming the public service system is the basis of political and administrative reform. At this stage of the reform of the public administration system, it is necessary to carry out an audit of the results of the previous reforms, identify their shortcomings, the results and find out the possible ways of improving the system of public administration. The next step is to formulate a Concept for political and administrative reform of the public administration system.
