Abstract

Problem setting. At the present stage of building a democratic, law-governed state in Ukraine, the importance of taking into account the principles of integrity and the European concept of good governance in management practice and lawmaking, which were formed in Western legal opinion on the basis of the fundamental idea of the rule of law, is gaining importance. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Currently, national scientists have taken the first steps in analyzing certain aspects of the principles of integrity and good governance, among which are Averyanov V.B., Grytsyak I.A., Pukhtetskaya A.A. and others. Target of research is to analyze the understanding of the principles of integrity and good governance in public administration and the urgent need for their application in Ukraine. Article’s main body. The principles of law can be treated in different ways: as ideas, the basics, the provisions or the requirements, but the main thing in any definition is that they are fundamental. The integrity of state power is the most important socio-moral requirement and need, and therefore plays a great social significance. The concept of good governance was formed in the European legal doctrine based on and subject to the fundamental principles of the structure of the legal system - democracy and the rule of law. These principles include: openness, participation, responsibility, effectiveness, compliance. The principles of integrity and good governance, considered in the article, are fundamental principles of public administration, failure to fulfill (as requirements) or non-compliance of which can lead to negative processes in public administration. Conclusions and prospects for the development. The fundamental principles of integrity and individual European standards of good governance discussed in this article indicate the need to deepen administrative reform in order to accelerate the process of adaptation of the domestic system of legislation to European principles and standards, which, in turn, would be a significant policy confirmation.
