Functions Of Public Authorities Research Articles

Legal security of digital transformation in Ukraine

The article presents a theoretical and legal analysis of the legal support of the process of digital transformation in Ukraine, which is an integral element of digitalization of all spheres of social life and a requirement of modernity.
 It was established that the formation of a digital state should be recognized as an activity aimed at systematically improving the legal basis of the organization and functioning of public authorities, with the aim of simplifying the system of public administration and significantly increasing its efficiency.
 It is emphasized that digitalization is not limited to the exclusive use of technologies; it is characterized by a change in culture integrated into all spheres of human activity.
 It has been established that legal provision in the context of digital technologies and digital transformation in Ukraine is a state-legal process. The types and range of documents constituting legal support for digital transformation in Ukraine are outlined. Issues of digital technologies that affect not only the law, but are directly reflected in the rule-making and law-enforcement processes are considered. It was determined that modern legal studies of the legal support of the use of digital technologies in the conditions of the transformation of society are usually determined unsystematically and superficially.
 Urgent issues of legal support of strategic national priority areas of information society development in Ukraine and digital transformation were raised.
 It was found that the need for effective regulation of legal relations regarding the management and application of digital technologies in the conditions of the transformation of society requires a clear solution to many practical and theoretical problems, as well as appropriate regulatory and legal support.

International access level to administrative services in electronic format

The article states that the functioning of public authorities and their provision of services is based on justice and equality. A key criterion for the effectiveness of the governments of modern states is the availability of public services, as this proves whether they are able to adequately respond to the variety of individual and public legal needs, and therefore take care of the creation and adaptation of appropriate content, ensuring proper communication for the dissemination of public information.
 It has been established that obstacles to access to public services can be different, for example: geographical distance, inappropriate conditions for users, lack of awareness or use of overly complex wording, inconvenient working hours or organizational difficulties in serving the population. All this can negatively affect the quality of service provision, provoke problems with the legitimacy of the entire apparatus of public authority.
 As evidenced by the experience of foreign countries, the economic costs of obtaining a state service and its maintenance can become a significant obstacle to access. This factor can also negatively affect citizens' trust in state institutions.
 Therefore, it was established that the key to the availability of public services is their conversion into electronic form. The electronic platform must be inclusive and provide equal access opportunities for all citizens. Therefore, the concept of accessibility in the context of web applications is related to the availability of information for all users, regardless of the technologies and platforms used, sensory and functional capabilities of the user. E-government services should provide mechanisms that will help to overcome traditional physical barriers, that is, to make the administrative services accessible to people with special needs as much as possible.

Modern Challenges to Effective Functioning of Local Self-Government (On the Example of Saint Petersburg)

In recent history the concept of “public authority” was collective and was not fixed in legislative and normative-legal acts. Under the Law of the Russian Federation on amendment of the Constitution of the Russian Federation dated 14.03.2020 № 1-FCL “On improvement of regulation of separate issues of organization and functioning of public authorities” local self-government bodies were eferred to public authorities. According to Article 132 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation “Local self-government bodies and public authorities are part of a unified system of public authority in the Russian Federation and interact to most effectively solve problems in the interests of the population living in the respective territory. Article 35.1 of Federal Law № 131-FL of 06.10.2003 “On General Principles of Organization of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation” gives elected deputies of a municipal representative body the right to form political factions for the exercise of their powers. The activities of such factions are established and legitimized by a normative legal act of the municipality. As a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union and emergence of the Russian Federation, proc-lamation of democratic values and democratization of society, political parties and other public organizations began to appear. New actors and leaders, were able to organize a collective, turbulently increasing action against the government, which immediately after the end of the protests, mobilized the protest mood of the electorate, which in the elections in 2017, 2019 in Moscow, 2019 in St. Petersburg held in local government in Moscow and St. Petersburg “independent” municipal deputies from the territorial executive government in representative bodies of local government, thereby creating pockets of political and social tension. An important aspect of the political struggle for the degree of influence on political stability, namely the change of power in the municipalities of Svetlanovskoye, Smolninskoye, Ligovka-Yamskoye, Liteiniy District, Vladimirskiy District of St. Petersburg, was the result of an intraparty struggle in the power structures. The intraparty struggle between the executive and legislative branches of power for the degree of territorial influence in St. Petersburg is a characteristic feature of federal cities, with their elites constantly fighting for the maximum concentration of power in their hands. As a result of the insufficient control of the electoral process by the territorial executive bodies of state power in St. Petersburg, an additional opportunity for opposition forces to exercise sufficient quality control of the electoral process for compliance with legislative requirements. As a result of this situation, the representative bodies were formed by independent non-systemic deputies. The pluralism of opinions that emerged in local government became particularly important, since without agreement for decision-making the work of representative bodies of local government was impossible, and consequently the exercise of the constitutional rights of citizens to exercise local government and the legitimate functioning of local government in addressing issues of local importance and the execution of certain state powers was impossible. The existence in the legal field of an internally highly conflictual representative body generates social tension in society, political destabilization and, as a consequence, a general distrust of public authorities in general, since public authorities are directly involved in the formation of local government in St. Petersburg, where the execution of local government authority is associated with such features as a high level of education of citizens, population density, the degree of involvement in electoral processes In 2015, an additional procedure for recruiting heads of municipalities was introduced - the selection of candidates for the post of head by a competitive commission, where half of the commission’s members should be representatives of regional authorities. It was expected that in this way the selection of heads of municipalities would become more controlled. In 2020, the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation consolidated the “incorporation” of the local level into the system of state (public) power, finally depriving municipal authorities of formal autonomy from the state. The purpose of the article is to establish the causes of incapacity of the representative body of local government of St. Petersburg after the municipal elections of 2019, the search for possible ways to create conditions for further functioning of the municipality in the new conditions of pluralism of opinions among the new convocation of municipal deputies, the study of the causes of the created situation, the search and proposal of possible ways to solve the issue of adaptation of the representative body to the new conditions of functioning. Based on the research conducted, the authors declare the necessity to take measures to respond to the public authorities aimed at finding opportunities and creating conditions for the performance of powers by the representative body, deputies and heads of the municipality in the new conditions of functioning of local self-government.

POSSIBILITIES AND BARRIERS OF USING CROWDSOURCING IN THE SYSTEM OF PUBLIC CONTROL OVER THE ACTIVITIES OF PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

In the research process, it was established that the presence of successful domestic and foreign practices of crowdsourcing confirms the effectiveness of this technology in various spheres of society's life: from economy and politics to social and creative spheres. At the same time, depending on the direction of implementation of the crowdsourcing project and the tasks set before it, different types of this technology are used. However, the key principles in crowdsourcing of any type remain: hobbyist participation, the ability to connect anywhere at any time, minimum reward, etc. At the same time, special attention is paid to the practice of implementing crowdsourcing in the field of public administration, based on the study of which the existing opportunities and barriers of this technology are revealed. It has been established that crowdsourcing has already proven itself as a technology capable of achieving the desired result in a short period of time with minimal financial costs. In this regard, the expediency of using crowdsourcing within the functioning of public authorities has prospects for further development. Key words: barriers, crowdsourcing, opportunities, public authority, system of public control, financial expenses.

The authors analyze the current system of educational needs of national minorities in Ukraine by defining the system of education, including legal policy, institutional and organizational guarantees, identifying problematic aspects in the sphere of Ukrainian education and identifying opportunities to overcome them, analyzing the status of educational needs of national minorities.
 It is indicated that global transformations have intensified the tendencies of the number of national minorities due to global demographic processes, including migration and refugees.
 It is argued that the elements of the system of educational needs of national minorities in education in Ukraine are international, European regional, and national legal acts, the functioning of public authorities, the complex structure of educational institutions at all levels, and additional organizational and economic guarantees of educational rights.
 International, regional, and national legal norms are analyzed. Positive aspects and shortcomings of the legal regulation of the educational sphere of national minorities are indicated. A number of improvements to the current ethnopolitics of Ukraine in the context of the implementation of international and European standards and the positive practice of democratic states, including Romania, are proposed.
 The methodological basis of the study is a system of philosophical, general scientific, and specifically scientific methods. The sociological survey, conducted on the author's questionnaire, represents the real state of national minorities education in Ukraine. The Russian, Hungarian, Slovak, and Polish national minorities are taken into account.

Transformation of Certain Principles of Formation and Activity of Public Authorities

The subject of the study is public relations related to the implementation of certain principles of the formation and functioning of public authorities at various levels. The principle of electability of officials of legislative bodies of state power and representative bodies of local self-government, as well as heads of subjects of the Russian Federation is analyzed. The author examines the question of the transformation of the principles of the activities of public authorities from the point of view of the combination of public and private interests realized in the activities of power structures. Particular attention is paid to the principles of maintaining citizens' trust in the actions of the state, the principle of people-saving and the principle of responsibility of authorities to voters (the institution of recall of an elected person). The main conclusions of the study are proposals to consolidate educational qualifications in relation to officials of federal and regional government bodies in the legislation. It seems appropriate to fix the requirement of higher education for persons applying for the positions of head of state, heads of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as deputies of legislative authorities. It is also necessary to create and reflect in the legislation mechanisms for the recall of all elected officials by the population if they are dishonest in the exercise of their powers and do not justify the people's trust entrusted to them. In the context of demographic challenges, it is also advisable to consolidate the principle of saving people in the activities of public authorities.

Influence of state financial control on state authorities functioning

It is proved that in most countries there are formal systems of state financial control, the subjects of such control and their powers are clearly defined. It has been established that in Ukraine there is a centralized model of activity of state financial control bodies, which does not meet the current challenges. It is concluded that the presence of unified and clearly defined tasks, methods and principles, taking into account the specifics of the national legislation and the socio-economic situation that ensures the effective work of state financial control bodies and improves financial and budgetary discipline. It is based on the priority of three vectors of development of the state control system: formation of a clear structure of state control subjects; development of a legislative framework and unified methodology and, finally, introduction of modern information and innovative technologies.

The essence of administrative discretion in the activities of public administration agencies

The article examines the essence of administrative discretion in the activities of public administration bodies. The author proposes his own definition of administrative discretion as intellectual, creative activity of public authorities, local governments and their officials, established by legislation on self-assessment and decision-making and a certain choice of behavior, which has a legally significant result.
 The selected properties that are inherent in administrative discretion: 1) are the right of public authorities, local governments and their officials to make decisions, carry out activities (inaction); 2) is implemented by the relevant circle of persons authorized by law; 3) the limits of discretion are limited by the law, it complies with the law and does not contradict them; 4) the process of applying administrative discretion is an intellectual and creative activity; 5) has a legally significant result.
 It is emphasized that the functioning of public authorities in the exercise of administrative discretion should be subject to regulation and proper control, as often there is a problem of abuse of administrative discretion, the reasons for which are: ambiguity of laws, which creates the illusion of great authority; lack of proper level of training and knowledge of the official; exceeding the limits of discretionary powers.

Instrumental aspects of public administration

The article is devoted to the instrumental aspects of public administration The essence of the instrumental approach in law is investigated, in which the legal norm is considered as the subject of socialization of an individual who seeks to adapt to the requirements of the social environment, while satisfying his needs. Attention is focused on the fact that the instrumental theory of law assumes that needs, interests and other intentions are first recognized and grouped depending on the degree of expression and presence in society. In this context, public administration can be viewed as a tool for achieving the goals of the state.
 In terms of their content, public administration activities are always law enforcement, unlike, for example, law-making and the administration of justice. Although the rule-making element is present in public administration, it is not an end in itself, a secondary, auxiliary character, since the primary source of the legal status and features of the functioning of public administration is in any case the law.
 The stages of public administration, which, in our opinion, can be described as follows. First, it is the definition at the constitutional level of the basic principles of interaction between a person and the state, the functioning of public authorities, human and civil rights and freedoms. Secondly, this is the development of laws, where the specified legal categories find their development, in accordance with the specified laws, public authorities, the legal status of which is provided for at the legislative level, receive their legal status. Thirdly, this is the preparation of a set of by-laws, providing for the creation of public administrations, which have the source of their formation is a by-law, for example, this applies to ministries and other central executive bodies. Fourthly, this is the stage of formation of public administrations operating on the basis of bylaws and the definition of plans for their activities. Fifth, this is, in fact, the very functioning of the public administration, depending on the goals and objectives, as well as plans that were identified at the previous stages. Sixth, this is the stage of control over the activities of the public administration, carried out both at the national and at the interdepartmental, departmental level, as self-control of the public administration, as well as public control (supervision) over its activities.
 The conclusion was made that public administration as a legal instrument is a legal way to ensure the needs, interests and other intentions of individuals and legal entities by legislative and subordinate consolidation of the status of public administrations, their formation and recruitment, setting goals and planning their activities, direct enforcement and control different levels for its implementation.

Constitutional and legal principles of regionalization in European countries: structural and functional characteristics of the mechanism of public power

The article analyzes the basic principles of regionalization in European countries and highlights the key features of the mechanism of functioning of public authorities in the context of regionalization. The European experience convincingly shows that an effective decentralized system of territorial organization of public power and administration is an integral part of a modern democratic state governed by the rule of law. The institutional basis for such a system is effective local government and balanced regional development. Decentralization and regionalization are interconnected: regionalization cannot occur without decentralization. Regionalization is, in fact, decentralization, taking into account the regional characteristics of the state. Based on the principle of division of powers, for each democratic state it is necessary to delineate the competence of public authorities. In turn, it is extremely important to determine the optimal level of concentration of power powers for each institutional link in the public power system - with the subsequent transfer of “excess” powers to the subjects as close as possible to the population, that is, their decentralization. Regionalization means a way of defining and delimiting tasks and functions, in which most of them are transferred from the level of central bodies to a lower level and become their own tasks and powers of lower-level bodies, in particular, regions. Governance at the local level and in local affairs can be carried out in two ways: both by officials of the state apparatus appointed “from above”, functioning “on the ground” (officials of state authorities), and by local governments and other entities authorized by the state. It can also be noted that the share of administrative activities is assigned to regional bodies or other state-authorized entities. This decentralization of power in the state contributes to the development of democracy, because there is an expansion of the influence of territorial communities, social groups and the public on the implementation of public functions of government in order to optimally meet the diverse needs of the population. Regionalization is associated with the process of redistribution of public power resources (including power) between different levels and centers of public power in two directions: from the state to its internal formation (autonomies, subjects of the federation), and also from the state to cross-border structures and international centers public authorities (trans-European regions, international organizations, transnational corporations). Regionalism should be understood as an interconnected political and economic system that ensures the special status of regional entities in the political system of the state, the participation of regions in the implementation of state power, European integration and international relations, their relative economic and fiscal independence in a unitary and/or federal state. Regionalism is also expressed in policies that stimulate the endowing the regions with a certain degree of political independence. Regionalism is associated with the desire and movement of regions towards freedom of self-government, preservation and respect of their traditional culture and peculiar institutions.

Czy faktycznie mamy do czynienia z nowymi uprawnieniami kontrolnymi radnych samorządowych?

On 11 January 2018, the Act on amending certain acts in order to increase the participation of citizens in the process of selecting, functioning and control of certain public authorities was passed. The legislator decided that the new legal regulations in the local government system laws were to lead to an increase in the participation of citizens in the process of control and functioning of public authorities, thus, also of local government authorities. In addition, it was to contribute to an increase in the role of local communities in the process of electing bodies coming from general elections, as well as in the control of this process and the bodies responsible for the preparation and holding of elections. Among the “new” legal solutions that have come into force in the current term of the local government authorities (2018–2023), one should distinguish those thanks to which the scope of control powers of local councillors has been extended. These include, first of all, the right to obtain information and materials, access to the premises where these information and materials are located, and access to the activities of the local government office, as well as companies with the participation of local government units, commercial companies with the participation of local government legal entities, legal persons, as well as establishments, enterprises and other local government organizational units, in compliance with the provisions on legally protected secrecy, secondly, the right to address interpellations and inquiries to the village mayor (mayor, city president), starost or voivodeship marshal, thirdly, the obligation to establish a complaint committee, motions and petitions in order to consider complaints about the activities of the executive body and local government organizational units, as well as motions and petitions submitted by citizens.

On the Connection between Legal Understanding and Politics and Economics

The paper is devoted to the fundamental issues of modern legal regulation, in particular, its grounds and limits. The author substantiates the position according to which the absence of certain essential imperatives of law that help direct and restrict the functioning of public authorities and other subjects, complicates the activities of the latter, concedes its inconsistency and spontaneity, creates conditions for the perception of law as a kind of "designer" of economic, political and other relations. According to the author, the lack of unified conceptual criteria in determining the essence of law leads to an imbalance in public relations, to their turbulence at all levels (national, international, etc.) and as a result has a detrimental effect on the life and security of a person, society and the state.The author notes that at the present stage of civilization development, it is the economy with its interests and principles that acts as the "nerve", as the main driving mechanism in recognizing the status of the subject state. From the author’s point of view, economic interests and relations today form the world agenda, set the tone for political and legal relations, and often directly correct the value bases of other social regulators.The author summarizes that in general, the current situation in the international legal space, associated with the lack of a generally recognized doctrine of legal understanding alongside the variability and inconsistency of views in the field of human rights and freedoms based on the natural law approach, allows some subjects to arbitrarily interpret and impose certain decisions and positions in the course of their political activities, based on their own resources and potential. This supports law usurpation, making it an instrument of manipulation and blackmail in the field of politics, economics, culture, ecology, etc. in order to create the most profitable conditions and obtaining the expected results.Thus, the natural law approach, on the one hand, needs to be rethought, transformed, on the other hand, it needs to be refined or analyzed in detail when building an original concept of legal understanding.

Інституціональне забезпечення розвитку публічно-приватного партнерства в системі публічного управління.

Theoretic aspects of the formation and development of public-private partnership (PPP) are studied. By using a systemic approach, it is determined that the most important factor in improving the efficiency of public-private partnership is its institutional support. It is substantiated that globally, the PPP is mostly initiated by public authorities, which can be explained by a number of reasons. Firstly, public authorities are responsible for the country's strategic development. Secondly, public authorities formulate "rules of the game" for businesses and individuals, plan capital investments, and select PPP entities that are a priority in terms of public interest. In fact, it is the state that undertakes to address objectives facing society. Therefore, nowadays the importance of creating a favorable institutional environment to develop PPPs is recognized at all the levels of economic management and is emphasized in the scientific community. It is proved that the interests of public authorities, private businesses and the community are reconciled through the complementation of political, legal, and socio-economic norms and rules of conduct. The functions of public authorities at the national and regional levels of government are systematized.
