The essence, necessity and importance of public management of social security are substantiated in the article. It has been found that the active introduction of classical axioms and advanced practices of modern management, which were proved in the field of social policy of Ukraine, will qualitatively increase the level of social security, social protection and will provide an effective social insurance system. One of the new and effective directions in the management of social security is the «political network», which is quite capable to strength the quality parameters of public management of social software. Therefore, developing social and legal state will significantly increase the level of public confidence in public administration at all levels. Social problems in Ukraine have different causes and forms of manifestation. Their successful solution depends on many factors. That is why, public management of social security is expressed in its formation, development and functioning, depending on the circumstances, and should use such mechanisms as budget, credit, tax, program, administrative, organizational, legal and regular government orders. At the same time, it is important to exercise periodic control over the processes of solving social problems and social demands of the population of Ukraine. Such practice will allow to avoid a number of undesirable actions, and prevent illegal actions, anticipate existing obstacles and resolve complex issues in advance. Public management of social security should ensure high-quality informatization of the functioning of all departments, divisions and offices at the state, regional and local levels. The introduction of information technology will qualitatively improve the work of social workers and significantly increase the efficiency of their work. Creating a single electronic database including powerful software will allow to work out, to analyze, to search and organize capacious and complex arrays of information. The formation of registers and automation of work processes will save time for both employees and citizens who have applied to the social security body for help or advice. At the same time, cases of abuse and illegal actions in the social sphere of Ukraine are minimized. We should note that information technology in the public administration of social security is fully in line with the formation of a modern information society and digital economy.

Confidence in Merit-Based Public Administration in the Context of Right-Wing Authoritarian Populism

The rise of right-wing authoritarian populism (RWAP) challenges modern democratic governance and the legitimacy of a career-service, nonpartisan, merit-based public administration—hallmarks of modern democratic institutions. Using citizen survey data collected for the first 2 years of the Trump presidency, this study finds that some core features of RWAP are negatively related to confidence in public administration. Generally speaking, the populist tendency appears to be a significant source of negative affect toward public administration.

행정대집행제도의 문제점 및 개선방안

Administrative vicarious execution refers to the enforcement of executive jurisdiction in which the obligor does not fulfill the obligation of alternative duties imposed by laws or administrative acts, and the disposition agency itself or a third party realizes its obligations and collects the expenses from the obligor. Concerning the calculation of expense of the Administrative vicarious execution, it is required to establish concrete and reasonable standards to guarantee the transparency of the execution of the business in relation to the method of cost calculation and the scope of the actual cost. And It is reasonable to consider that it is necessary to accept the principle of executive suspension in the administrative litigation as in the case of Germany in terms of expanding the right of people s rights relief. In addition, unexpected damage can occur in the process of exercising the ability when the duty is resisted in the execution process of the administrative vicarious execution. Such a post - repressive manner is unfavorable to human rights and debates public confidence in administration. Therefore, it is necessary to restrict the exclusion of the inevitable minimum resistance by obeying the principle of proportionalism, since direct competence of the obligor is entering the stage of direct compulsion beyond the limitation of administrative vicarious execution. Finally, in the selection of administrative compulsory means, the discipline centered on individual laws may lack a systematic link between individual enforcement mechanisms. Through the general law regulation governing each compulsory enforcement means, Clear rules for the interrelationships and priorities or selection criteria of individual enforcement instruments need to be presented. However, even if there is no grounds for enforcing in the individual laws, enforcement through general legal grounds may still result in the infringement of the rights of the people. Therefore, in the case where there is a specificity to be disciplined in the individual laws, it seems reasonable to supplement the general law through special regulation in individual law.

Prawo do dobrej administracji — w kierunku upraszczania języka urzędowego w Polsce i w Czechach

THE RIGHT TO GOOD ADMINISTRATION — SIMPLIFYING THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IN POLAND AND THE CZECH REPUBLICThe paper aims at investigating how European Union countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic deal with the problem of simplification of the official language. In former members of the Eastern European bloc bureaucratic language is one of the causes of the loss of confidence in public administration. Entry to the European Union increased the tendency for language reform in the creation of normative acts, and the way of communication between the civil servants and thecitizens. The paper presents two lines of action — education of civil servants in Poland and the transformation of the legal language in the Czech Republic.

Podstawy aksjologiczne współczesnej administracji

This paper contributes to the broader discussion on effective ways to build confidence in public administration, especially through the development of ethical attitudes in civil servants.

Performance auditing—addressing real or perceived expectation gaps in the public sector

The growth of performance auditing in Australia (and in many other countries) has led to a range of seemingly conflicting observations about their contribution to better public administration, which basically reflect differing political and public expectations of such audits. Confusion also revolves around the question of just what value is being assessed, reflecting differing perceptions of assurance and performance and of the coverage of administrative and policy effectiveness. A better understanding of what needs to be achieved by those responsible and acceptance of accountability for the required results would improve confidence in public administration and in the value that it delivers.

Instilling Public Confidence in Administration: The Need for an Ombudsman-like Institution in India

The continuing increase in the instances of maladministration undermines the public faith in bureaucracy underscoring the need for an ombudsman like institution in India. The Lokpal/Lokayukta Act has been sought to be promulgated since the 1970's and till today efforts for the same have been all in vain, showing the lack of political will to institutionalize the ombudsman in India. Even though States such as Orissa, Kerala and others have enacted their own State Acts constituting the ombudsman, they haven't achieved much success. An understanding of the importance of an ombudsman-like institution and the promulgation of a Central Act is the required step forward. The functioning of administration has also undergone a paradigm change. Focus has shifted from secrecy to transparency, from working in isolation to working with the people, from arbitrariness to accountability for actions. Clearly the time has come to herald change through institutionalizing the ombudsman. This paper gives a brief overview of the institution of the ombudsman highlighting its merits, illustrates the differences between the institution of ombudsman and Courts and that of the Central Vigilance Commission bringing forth the supplemental role played by the same and suggests measures that need to be taken to supplement the success of ombudsman. Finally, the conclusion is presented.

The political factors that influenced the decision to set up a system of commissioners, as well as some of the issues surrounding the initial appointment of chairmen, are discussed.

Minnowbrook II: Conclusions

Minnowbrook I was an intense effort to redefine public administration. In the intervening two decades, the optimism engendered by the vision of a new public administration has been dissipated, and the report card for public administration is not especially good. Bureaucrat bashing is up. Public confidence in public administration is down. Interest in privatization is increasing. Revenues are flat or decreasing. Managers are increasingly promoted from the ranks of technicians, not public administration generalists. Student enrollments are flat or declining. And the quality of prospective MPAs may compare unfavorably with the 1960s cohort. Those indicators suggest a new realism, yet one that those in the field were late to recognize.
