Abstract

The article examines a place, influence and significance of the category of «public administration» in the context of studying of juridical disciplines of administrative and legal cycle. It determines a number of prerequisites for clarifying a legal nature, in particular, a subject of the legal regulation of administrative law and administrative procedure through the influence of the category «public administration». The first section includes the procedural changes in the framework of system update of regulatory and legal base, first of all legislative one, in relation to the functional introduction of new institutes of administrative and legal cycle (the institutes of «administrative justice», «administrative services») and implementation of the results of performed administrative reform. The second section of preconditions includes theoretical and category changes in relation to the update of conceptual framework that are a logical result of the fundamental scientific achievements of the leading research-methodological legal administrative schools. The author’s definitions for «public administration» and «public management» are formulated as well as their correlation under the principle «from the general to the special» where public administration is the general concept and public administration is the special one. It is established that the category «public interest» is a system and forming component and actually, the basic one in interpreting «public administration». On the one hand, it is considered as a quintessence for the continuous implementation of public international and constitutional rights, such as: the right to form a governance (electoral law), to public service, to social security, and on the other hand as the activities of public bodies in the area of observance of the principles of legality, the rule of law, publicity, inevitability of punishment. The range of problems under consideration is evaluated in the articles published in the professional periodicals of Ukraine, in the papers of international and All- Ukrainian conferences as well as in academic programs of disciplines «administrative law», «administrativeprocedure».
