Methodological Aspect of Evaluating the Effectiveness of Public Policy in Depressed Regions

The paper considers the practical possibilities of using various methods of qualitative and quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of public policy implementation, detailed in the context of the problem of depressed regions rehabilitation. The aim of the study is to form a holistic and comprehensive model that allows analyzing the effectiveness of the implementation of state projects at the regional level, taking into account the specific features inherent in the economic and administrative spheres of the depressed subjects of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the research topic to these conditions is defined by the dynamic nature of the development of regional depression, as well as the need to improve public administration mechanisms in order to solve urgent problems of socio-economic development of regions and ensure opportunities for sustainable and balanced spatial development of the Russian Federation. The development of this topic includes the use of methods of retrospective statistical analysis, mathematical modeling, as well as abstraction and socio-economic comparison. Based on the results of the study, a theoretical concept has been formed, including a methodological apparatus that allows evaluating the effectiveness of existing models of public administration for the development of depressed regions. The conclusions obtained at the theoretical level are concretized in the context of a practice-oriented analysis of the state and prospects of development of the depressed region — the Ulyanovsk region; the results of the analysis fully prove the validity of the proposed methodological developments. Based on the results of the study, a number of practical conclusions were made, in particular, in the context of analyzing the effectiveness of public policy, the role of integrated non-financial quantitative assessment tools was updated, as well as a number of aspects of their practical application and further improvement were specified. The prospects for further use of the proposed evaluation model are related to the possibility of its implementation into the structure of software and analytical complexes currently used in public administration practice. The results of the study are of practical importance in the context of the possibilities of optimizing the control and evaluation functions of public authorities and, in particular, can be used by subjects of state strategic planning for the formation and subsequent assessment of territorial development plans of the Russian Federation.

Связь с общественностью как как механизм управленческой коммуникации

The article is devoted to the analysis of the theoretical and methodological basis of the phenomenon of public relations. The article examines its emergence as a concept and analyzes related theories. The author examines the transition of the phenomenon of public relations from the economic sector to the administrative sector and examines the process of its acquisition of the status of a mechanism of public administration. In conditions where the mechanisms of administrative coercion are alien to the democratic style of management, public relations have acquired particular importance in terms of managing the masses. Its application has led to transparency of the governance system, increased accountability and increased opportunities for citizen participation in public administration. In this sense, there is a special need for an in-depth study of the problem.

Main directions of ensuring national security and mechanisms of public administration under martial law

The task of ensuring national security is currently a key one for Ukraine, as a condition and goal of reforms in all spheres of state and social activity. The content of transformations in this area should be linked to ensuring and comprehensively strengthening Ukraine's sovereignty and preserving its territorial integrity. The current situation in the world is characterized by the presence of “points of tension”, the desire of other states to implement their geopolitical plans and unresolved social problems. In addition, the state is the main institution that creates appropriate conditions for the functioning of each business entity. In Ukraine, there is a need to define the benchmarks of the security system, study international experience and implement it in the process of improving national security legislation. The article examines and analyzes the theoretical foundations of the state management of national security development, reveals the essence of such concepts as “national security”, “economic security”; identifies the components of national and economic security of Ukraine; mechanisms of state management of economic security; characterizes three main types of security threats, namely: external and internal; real and potential; global, regional and local; identifies threats affecting economic security; develops recommendations for improving the effectiveness of the state management of economic security.

The essence of the concept of social inclusion of the city and its significance in ensuring the national security of the state

Ukraine, as a country, is in the process of constant development and transformation, facing a number of important social, economic and security challenges. One of these challenges is ensuring equal opportunities and accessing the social resources for all sections of society. In this context, the concept of social inclusion comes to the fore to become an important tool for promoting the sustainable development of cities and the entire country. Social inclusion involves the creation of conditions under which every person, regardless of their origin, gender, age, physical condition or other personal characteristics, can take an active part in all spheres of society. The implementation of this approach to the development of cities is especially relevant in modern Ukraine, where there are numerous challenges in the form of lack of access to infrastructure, medical care, housing and other services for certain social groups. The implementation of the concept of social inclusion is now widely recognized as important and not just good practice. The recent impact of the global pandemic, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and the Russian-Ukrainian war have further emphasized the need to implement the concept of social inclusion in the development of Ukrainian cities. Promoting the development of social inclusion in cities requires a deep understanding of its essence, the factors affecting it, and the mechanisms of public administration involved. The work determined that the theory and methodology of public management of the development of social inclusion in cities in the science of public administration is not sufficiently formed. The existing scientific works of foreign and domestic scientists testify to the existence of different approaches to public management of the development of social inclusion. The essence of social inclusion was highlighted as the creation of a fair and accessible urban environment where all people, regardless of their origin or characteristics, can actively participate in the social, economic and cultural aspects of urban life. Social inclusion emphasizes the need to overcome structural barriers, discrimination and inequality to promote inclusive cities and ensure the social security of the state.

On the Application of the Principle of Trust in the Constitutional Model of the Separation of Powers in the Russian Federation

The article examines the application of the constitutional principle of trust in the system of separation of powers, using the example of a model of interaction between the Government of the Russian Federation and the State Duma. The conclusion is formulated that the constitutional evolution of the control powers of the State Duma in relation to the Government of the Russian Federation, which occurred on the basis of laws on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation (2008, 2020), is aimed at strengthening parliamentary control over the activities of the executive branch and is aimed at creating the most effective mechanism of public administration. The existing model of interaction between the Government of the Russian Federation and the State Duma within the framework of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, current federal legislation, Rules of Procedure of the State Duma and the practice of their application indicates the expansion of directions and forms of their interaction based on the constitutional principle of trust.

TRANSFORMATION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION MECHANISMS IN THE CONTEXT OF WAR

The article analyzes the transformation of public administration mechanisms in Ukraine caused by the ongoing military conflict with Russia. The authors sees the war as a catalyst for change that requires the Ukrainian government to adapt deeply and rapidly to new realities. The text describes in detail the challenges faced by Ukraine during the war, including the defense of its territory and sovereignty, ensuring the security of citizens, the impact of the war on the economy, and the humanitarian aspects related to millions of internally displaced persons.
 It is noted that Russia's attack was the largest military aggression in Europe since World War II, causing large-scale destruction and human casualties. The authors emphasizes the difficulties faced by Ukraine in protecting its citizens from Russian shelling, as well as the humanitarian crisis that has arisen as a result of the war. In particular, working with internally displaced persons in Ukraine in the context of the war with Russia requires flexibility, a comprehensive approach and active cooperation between all stakeholders. It is not only about providing temporary assistance, but also about creating conditions for a full life and social integration of internally displaced persons, as well as comprehensive social and psychological rehabilitation, which is a guarantee of stability and resilience of Ukrainian society in difficult times of war. It is emphasized that despite the challenges, Ukraine has demonstrated the ability to adapt and innovate, attracting international support and developing new strategies for managing the crisis. The authors examines how changes in the mechanisms of public administration are aimed at restoring and strengthening the economic and social structure of the country, as well as at ensuring national security and defense.

ADAPTATION OF M. MOORE’S STRATEGIC TRIANGLE CONCEPT TO THE PRACTICE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The article is devoted to the study of the possibility of adapting the concept of strategic triangle of M. Moore in the practice of public administration. The authors analyse Moore’s basic principles and ideas regarding strategic management and consider the possibility of their application in the context of public administration. The article proves that the use of Moore’s concept allows to create an effective system of political decision-making capable of solving complex social problems taking into account a wide range of factors and involving a large number of stakeholders. The main advantages of this approach are its comprehensiveness, flexibility and focus on innovations that promote efficiency in the long term. The concept of M. Moore’s strategic triangle, which includes the elements of public good value, legitimacy and support, and operational capability, has been shown to be key to effective public administration and social change management. These three components are interrelated and together determine the government’s ability to achieve public goals. The partnership with the private sector in the concept under study emphasises the importance of involving the public in decision-making processes in public administration. Taking into account the opinions and needs of citizens can contribute to greater legitimacy of the decisions made and improve the quality of public service delivery, efficiency of public administration mechanisms and public policy in certain sectors. It is proved that the adaptation of M. Moore’s concept of strategic triangle in the practice of public administration will contribute to the construction of a democratic and open decision-making procedure, where any actor can participate in making important decisions and influence the development of their country. The use of the studied concept allows to provide the voice of civil society in the process of public administration, increasing the responsibility of the state to society and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of public institutions.

Administrative and legal aspects of voter information in the Russian Federation

The object of the study is the system of information support for voters in the Russian Federation. The subject of the scientific article is the administrative and legal aspects of informing Russian voters, analyzed in the context of modern socio-political processes. The authors consider in detail such aspects of the topic as the ratio of information and campaigning in the course of public administration of elections, responsibility for administrative offenses in the field of information support of the electoral process, the ambiguity of the administrative and legal status of a candidate in elections and the problems of administrative and legal regulation of voter information carried out by various subjects. Special attention is paid to the problems and prospects for the development of administrative and legal regulation of voter information in the context of today's technological and geopolitical challenges. Based on the understanding of modern scientific research and innovative approaches, as well as the experience of the 2024 election campaign for the election of the President of the Russian Federation, the authors also touch upon some problems of digitalization of the electoral process. The study is based on a systematic approach that allows us to study the mechanism of public administration of voter information as a set of inextricably interrelated and interacting elements organized as a single whole. The work uses a whole range of scientific research methods: formal-logical; comparative-legal; sociological and so on. The main conclusions of the conducted research are the authors' proposals with scientific novelty on clarifying the status of a candidate and legislative legal differentiation of the statuses of "registered" and "nominated candidates", clearer administrative and legal regulation of the voter information mechanism carried out by various entities, and the introduction of administrative responsibility directly for violations in the field of voter information.

Механізми публічного управління розвитку сферою туризму та їх вплив на визнання історичної спадщини

The article is dedicated to the study of the role of public administration mechanisms in tourism development and their impact on historical heritage recognition. The aim of this article is to determine the mechanisms for public administration of tourism development and how this affects the recognition of historical heritage. The article analyses the scientific literature on this issue. The article provides statistical data on damage to historical heritage as a result of Russian aggression. It is noted that today cultural and historical heritage is actively used to organise various types of cognitive tourism. An important component of cultural and historical recreational resources of a particular region is its historical and cultural heritage. According to the authors, historical heritage should be considered in conjunction with cultural and historical heritage, as history and culture are complementary elements. Preserving cultural and historical heritage sites is important for the tourism sector development. In this case, public administration mechanisms of the tourism sector and its impact on the preservation of historical heritage are of great importance.

The Importance of the Structure of Federal Executive Authorities in Public Administration

The paper shows that the current system of federal executive authorities, being an abstract category, is implemented only through the functioning of a specific structure of these bodies. As a set of real subjects, this structure materializes the management strategy embedded in the system of federal executive authorities, which, however, does not arise chaotically, but is formed in the process of development of the system of bodies and their corresponding structure. The paper examines the dynamics of the system and structure of the central executive bodies in the USSR and federal executive authorities in the Russian Federation. The author has analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of corresponding systems and structures that existed in post-Soviet Russia before 2004, as well as structures functioning currently. The information problems of the modern model of federal executive bodies, types and features of communication channels peculiar to the system under consideration have been analyzed. It is argued that the nature of information links between the elements of the system structure determines the degree of stability of the structure itself and, as a result, the entire mechanism of public administration, i.e., the probability of their preservation or destruction. It is concluded that the importance of the structure of federal executive authorities is explained not only in optimizing management activities, but also in forming such a configuration of information communication channels in a specific system of executive bodies that stabilizes the functioning of the entire mechanism of public administration.

Integrity in public administration: doubtful practical value of ethical and philosophical categories in preventing corruption (on the example of the public integrity council activity)

There has been tried in the article to systemize various approaches to the concept of integrity (in Ukrainian literally – kind-honesty), which is relatively new to the science of public administration, and to find out the sources and reasons for its appearance. A brief linguistic analysis of the integrity definitions contained in Ukrainian- and English-language sources has been carried out. There has been analyzed a variety of numerous definitions of the integrity concept, both ethical and philosophical, and normative and legal as well. A historical excursion has been made to prove rapid evolution of integrity criteria. There has been emphasized that the criteria of integrity in many cases are perceived exceptionally at an intuitive level, often being manipulative and unstable, depend on the person of evaluator and may differ even within small social groups. There has been cast doubt on the expedience of including changing ethical and philosophical categories in the national legislation and establishing legal liability for their non-observance. Based on the Public Integrity Council activity during the qualification evaluation of judges through the judicial reform of 2016-2019 and unsuccessful attempts to resume this procedure in 2023, practical problems in the evaluation of integrity criteria and subjectivity in approaches to such evaluation have been highlighted. There has been attempted to find out the practical value of integrity category in preventing corruption. The indisputable obligation of exclusive morality and ethics of those who are responsible for evaluating the public officials’ integrity has been emphasized. There has been demonstrated an example when mistrust to evaluators, their arbitrary and destructive application of moral criteria, placed in the legal sphere, cause personnel turbulence and public servants’ reluctance to continue their professional careers in conditions of uncertainty, what leads to the public administration mechanism disbalance. There has been suggested during the further modernization of the institute of public service in Ukraine and introduction of new anti-corruption mechanisms to avoid borrowing such categories that are not typical to the national context.

The Ecosystem Approach to Guaranteeing the Constitutional Human Right to a Safe Environment

The article aims to analyse the ecosystem approach, which should ensure the constitutional human right to a safe environment. The research methodology was based on the use of econometric, comparison, and graphical methods. Analysing the legal instruments, the study identified ways of harmonising the ecosystem approach with the existing legal framework and policy to improve environmental protection. The need for joint efforts between the state, industry, and local communities to find common positions and the importance of strong institutional capacity, public administration, and law enforcement mechanisms was demonstrated based on data from 37 European countries and Ukraine. It is emphasised that it is possible to achieve a balanced prospect between economic development and environmental protection. The academic novelty of this research is an interdisciplinary approach, a new application of the ecosystem approach to human rights, a detailed analysis of challenges and solutions, and global and local prospects. Prospects for further research are the expansion of the analysis database to the level of world regions to obtain generalised results regarding the provision of the constitutional human right to a safe environment.

State management of real estate of industrial and transport in an unstable economy

The research topic is relevant due to the demonstrated principles of economic sovereignty within the economic development strategy of the Russian Federation and the implementation of new mechanisms of public administration. The study analyses government action under current recessional conditions focused on the management of the real estate of industrial associations and transport infrastructure. In the article, real estate assets within these sectors are collectively categorised as subjects in the public administration system, being closely connected and forming the basis for the economic security of the country. According to the authors, real estate should be considered a controlled and manageable resource, given its substantial monetary value. As an example of state management of this resource, the article examines the operations of federal services, along with the processes occurring in the automotive, aircraft manufacturing and transport infrastructure sectors. The article examines the assets of foreign automobile plants that departed due to sanctions, focusing on industrial facilities in major Russian cities. The measures of state support for the infrastructure of the automotive and aircraft industries in accordance with the strategies outlined by the Ministry of Industry and Trade are explored. The aircraft industry is studied in the context of the emergence of government orders and the operations of the public joint-stock company United Aircraft Corporation The transport industry is considered as an industry supported by the state through financing new infrastructure facilities and reconstruction of existing ones.

MECHANISMS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FUEL AND ENERGY COMPLEX FROM THE POSITION OF ENERGY SECURITY ENSURING

The author gives propositions on the development the mechanisms of public administration of the development of the fuel and energy complex from the position of energy security ensuring. The author notes that according to APERC experts, energy security indicators (diversification of energy sources, net dependence on energy imports, range of non-carbon fuel sources, net dependence on oil) make it possible to fully determine the level of energy security of the economy of a particular country. At the same time, At the energy security contains three following basic elements: physical support, economic energy security and environmental sustainability. The author shows that the most frequently quantified aspects are presented in the Model of Short-term Energy Security (MOSES), which aim to assess the performance of a country's energy system by measuring individual indicators. Other indices include the oil vulnerability index and the nonparametric assessment of ecological diversity.
