Persuasion and administrative coercion as methods of public (state) administration

Abstract

The article reveals the essence, purpose and content of these management methods, their objective conditionality by material and superstructure factors, the state structure of society, which can be democratic or totalitarian. It follows from this that not a single state, including the Russian Federation, is free in the choice of methods of managing the affairs of society. The main method of influencing public relations, the interaction of people is persuasion. The slogan of the classic — “We must at all costs first convince, and then compel” — remains unshakable in our days. The article provides specific signs of persuasion and administrative coercion, which make it possible to clearly distinguish them, not to oppose and not to lose, as happened in modern life with persuasion and its most important form — education.
