Features of the initial stage of digitalization of the executive authority of Ukraine: historical and legal overview

The article is devoted to the historical and legal analysis of the specifics of the process of primary digitization of the executive power in modernization in modern Ukraine (1993–2003), highlighting the main legal patterns of such a process. It is shown that the digitalization of the executive power has become a component of the only, in fact, process of digitalization of the public administration system in Ukraine, which covered all spheres, levels and segments of the functioning of state authorities and their interaction with citizens and society as a whole. Being a legal process, such digitization naturally required proper legal regulation both at the stage of introducing innovations regarding the use of ICT in the field of organization and activities of the executive power, and at the stage of implementing these innovations. The early stage of digitalization became the stage of informatization of the executive power in the context of the constitutional and legislative institutionalization of the executive power, when only the first legal steps regarding the initial digitalization in the context of the informatization of public administration were outlined. It is highlighted that this process continued within the stage of primary digitalization (1993–2003) without a clear conceptual vision of its political and legal essence, specificity and purpose of digitalization of the executive power, and its deployment in these conditions coincided in time with the unfinished institutionalization of the system of executive power bodies in Ukraine, which was determined first by the incompleteness of the constitutional process and the conceptual ambiguity of the constitutional model of the executive power system institutionalized in Ukraine (until 1996), and later by attempts to combine the digitalization of the executive power with attempts to reform it within the framework of the administrative reform paradigm (since 1998). It has been found that the key directions of digitalization of the executive power within this stage were the following: creation of the primary legal basis of digitalization; legitimization of informatization of state administration as one of the key functions of executive authorities; creation of the National Agency for Informatization under the President of Ukraine as an institutional center for the primary digitization of the executive power; legitimization of mandatory publication on the Internet of information about the activities of executive authorities; ensuring the functioning of websites of executive authorities of all levels on the basis of uniform standards, their unification and standardization; introduction of the Unified web portal of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, intended for the integration of official websites of executive authorities and placement of information resources in accordance with the needs of citizens; ensuring the coordination of work to ensure the functioning of the Unified web portal, its information content, technical support, support and establishment of regulations and standards for information exchange between its constituent parts; monitoring compliance with information protection requirements in information and telecommunication systems that ensure the content and functioning of official websites (web portals) of executive authorities and the Unified web portal; outline as a prospective task of the transition to a paperless (electronic) form of document circulation in the bodies of executive power.

Analysis of The State Civil Apparatus Commission Relating to Position Selection and Return of Tasks From the State Civil Apparatus Commission to the Ministry of State Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform

Currently, the law that is being intensively revised or changed is Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning ASN (State Civil Apparatus Law). Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan-RB) Yuddy Chrisnandi stated that it is important to reform the management of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) to realize good governance in order to face the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). The general picture is that the services provided by the apparatus to the community are still low in terms of administration, such as licensing, which is still convoluted and complex. The incessant coverage in various mass media regarding corrupt practices by the state apparatus is also proof that the bureaucratic reform that has been rolled out is still far from expectations. This is compounded by the widespread practice of bureaucratic politicization in government circles in general, especially in regional government because the system of appointing officials in government institutions tends to provide opportunities.

Концептуальні засади реформи місцевого самоврядування в Україні та результати її реалізації

The article summarizes and systematizes the theoretical aspects of the formation of local self-government, taking into account the European experience of implementing administrative and territorial reform, outlines the range of problems that arose in the process of decentralization reform in Ukraine during 2015-2021, identifies the positive and negative consequences of local selfgovernment reform in Ukraine. A significant number of communities do not have the resources to perform new functions, the transfer of certain functions to the local level is not always appropriate, there is a need to consider the possibility of "recentralization" of certain powers from the local level to a higher one. The district level of local self-government was almost leveled and it cannot represent the common interests of communities. At the legislative level, there is no clearly defined division of powers between local self-government bodies and executive bodies. This creates a threat of "creeping" centralization of resources, when the government can transfer certain powers to the local level without financial support.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES AND CHALLENGES OF MOHAMMAD BIN TUGHLUQ

Mohammad Bin Tughluq's reign in the 14th century Delhi Sultanate was marked by significant historical context and political challenges. Faced with economic issues, regional rebellions, and external pressures, Tughluq implemented ambitious administrative policies aimed at centralizing power and extending the Sultanate's authority. However, these policies often led to unintended consequences and widespread discontent. The introduction of token currency and the capital's relocation to Daulatabad caused economic turmoil and social upheaval, eroding public trust and stability. Additionally, Tughluq's administrative reforms faced challenges of corruption, mismanagement, and resistance, hindering effective governance. The consequences of his policies resulted in economic instability, displacement of populations, exploitation of farmers, and a decline in regional autonomy. Tughluq's reign serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the intricate interplay between historical context, political ambitions, and decision-making consequences. It influenced subsequent rulers' strategies and shaped the historical development of the Delhi Sultanate, emphasizing the need for careful consideration of socio-economic implications and balancing central authority with regional cooperation for effective governance.

A city profile of Macau—The rise and fall of a casino city

Macau, one of China's two special administrative regions (SARs), is an island city famous for its flourishing gambling industry. As Macau is the only place in Greater China where gambling is legal, it initially experienced explosive economic growth with the rapid expansion of its gambling sector. Although the meteoric rise of Macau's gambling industry gave the city a glamorous reputation, it also created a homogeneous and fragile industrial structure, which has begun to pose serious problems for Macau. In recent years, Macau has faced increasing political and economic pressure due to dramatic changes in the external environment. In particular, the tremendous impact of COVID-19 and Beijing's expectation of Macau's deeper involvement in China's development agenda, such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macau Greater Bay Area, have made it untenable for Macau to maintain a slow pace of economic reform. This city profile examines the continuous decentralization of China's political authority since its reform and opening up and considers the unique central–local relationship between Beijing and Macau from the perspective of intergovernmental relations theory. As an exploratory case study, we focus on how Macau, a SAR with a “high degree of autonomy” promised and claimed by Beijing, has responded to concerns about its industrial restructuring, administrative reform, and sustainable urban development in the face of interventions from Beijing and scrutiny from residents. We argue that Macau's current form of local autonomy is insufficient, and that the Macau government should use an optimal mix of localization strategies to address the concerns of all parties while also complying with Beijing's assertive planning and guidance. We close by analyzing future economic opportunities and political challenges, extracting lessons from history, and offering practical suggestions for enhancing Macau's governance capacity, improving its tourism destination image, and hedging against major risks to the city in the rapidly changing global environment.

Territorial diagnostics and citizen perception of municipal public management, towards an efficient reform of Local Administration

Spain has a population distribution dispersed in small population centres where 60% of municipalities have less than 1,000 inhabitants. This situation generates a financial and functional incapacity to guarantee the successful and efficient provision of local public services. In order to fulfil its competences and improve services, a territorial diagnosis of the investigated area is necessary to adapt the size and structure of its administration. However, the social superstructure is reluctant to change the form of administrative action, despite being perceived as slow and bureaucratic by citizens. For this reason, this work proposes a reform to improve local economic and financial management by redesigning its administrative structure, thus achieving citizen recognition of the advantages of change. The proposal is developed through a computerised reporting model for public decision-making, the result of which is a systematic spatial report of administrative-financial decisions, which optimises decision-making and makes public management more visible.
