Public Administration Transformation Based on Research in Social Neurosciences in the Context of Sustainable Development. (Part 1)

Abstract

The article proposes a new approach to public administration and social structure using the neuroscientific method of social neurosciences. The global growth of social conflicts, suicides, violence and neuropsychic disorders confirms the failure of existing social systems and state management. The results of research in social neurosciences show the fallacy of many theoretical propositions on the basis of which the practice of state management is built. The advantage of the neuroscientific method of social neurosciences is that it provides an empirical test of theoretical propositions; is human-oriented, as it studies the neurobiological response of a person in different areas of social life; shows the true attitude of a person to the situation before his conscious control; demonstrates how the social structure affects the brain, the neuropsychic state of a person, behavior and health in general. There is a need to revise public administration, and this will require a special programme of research on the relationship between the patterns of thinking, the neurobiological response of the brain and social problems, which will help to determine the parameters of the organization of society in which the human brain and mind will function optimally. Maintaining a healthy brain and developing people’s mental abilities is the main task of public administration, because it is the intellectual ability of the population that the state’s success in all areas depends on.
