Toward a New Public Administration Model in Romania: The Challenges of Designing Coherent Public Administration Reforms

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.

THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN IN THE CONTEXT OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND DEMOCRATIC REFORMS

The work is devoted to the study of the forms of government established in Kazakhstan since the day it gained state independence and to this day. The topic is given relevance by the political process of democratic transition of power successfully implemented in 2019, as well as the current transition to a new “human-centric” model of public administration. The facts from the history that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of new republics are given. The destruction of interethnic and interethnic harmony, the aggravation of relations between the union republics and the central government are designated as negative aspects. At the same time, the right of the peoples to self-determination and the right of the union republics to freely secede from the Soviet Union are positive. The features of the super-presidential model of government, to which Kazakhstan moved in a difficult period of time, are characterized. The positive aspects of the super-presidential form of government are noted, the uniqueness and originality of which, in the opinion of the authors, should not be in doubt. The history of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which begins in the 90s, clearly shows that the chosen model of government has exceeded all expectations. The factors influencing the formation of forms of government, the subtle flexibility of the Kazakh model of government, prone to transformations, are identified. Attention is paid to the latest changes made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, which in general terms are similar to the constitutional reforms in the Republic of Kazakhstan from 2017. Attention is paid to the latest changes made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, which in general terms are similar to the constitutional reforms in the Republic of Kazakhstan from 2017. In conclusion, the prospects for a change in the form of government in Kazakhstan are outlined, which are inevitable in the context of constitutional reforms carried out in all spheres of life.

CONDITIONERS OF DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT IN PUBLIC BASIC EDUCATION SCHOOLS

This article is the result of a Doctoral Thesis in education whose object of study was to analyze institutional evaluation as a mechanism that enhances democratic management, investigating resonances of this relationship in public basic education schools. One of the paths was the identification of factors that have acted as conditions for democratic management. One of the conditions for the democratic management of public schools concerns management reforms, implemented in Brazil in recent decades, influenced by the neoliberal model of public administration. The second condition refers to the formation of educational policy discourse, which has been influenced by global and international networks in the process of formulating national policies, especially multilateral agencies that offer sponsorship for the implementation of certain national policies. A bibliographical research pointed out similar difficulties in different regions of Brazil regarding the limitations of implementing Democratic Management, highlighting the need to break with clientelistic and authoritarian management practices.

Automated Administrative Decision-Making: What is the Black Box Hiding?

The exploration of the “black box” phenomenon underscores opacity challenges in automated administrative decision-making systems, prompting a discussion on the paradox of transparency. Advocating for the concept of “qualified transparency”, the article aims to navigate the delicate balance between understanding and safeguarding sensitive information. Ethical imperatives, including respect for human autonomy, harm prevention, fairness, and explicability, are considered, culminating in recommendations for human participation, ethicality or accountability by design considerations, and the implementation of regulatory sandboxes to test such models prior to broad integration. Ultimately, the article advocates for a comprehensive discourse on transitioning from a human-centric to an automated public administration model, acknowledging the complexity and potential risks involved.

INNOVATIONS IN THE SYSTEM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The article explores contemporary approaches to implementing innovations in the system of public administration. In the context of rapid technological changes and globalization, innovation becomes a key factor in adapting the system of public administration to complex challenges. The aim of the article is to analyze and study modern approaches in the field of innovation in public administration. Research on the topic indicates a growing interest among scholars in the issues of innovation in public administration. At the same time, challenges remain, particularly related to security and the peculiarities of implementing innovative strategies in this field. Various forms of innovation are considered, including technological innovations (introduction of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, information systems, etc.), social innovations (new approaches to interaction with consumers of public services and the state), innovations in management processes and service delivery, aimed at improving the quality and efficiency of public administration. An overview of practical experience indicates that digital transformation plays a leading role in the innovation of public administration, encompassing the development of e-governance, open data, and integrated platforms for administrative services. Key innovations in e-governance are highlighted, such as electronic taxes, document circulation, payments, and portals for administrative service provision. The advantages of using open data are analyzed. Integrated multifunctional citizen service centers and the concept of "government as a platform" with a unified ecosystem of data and services are also discussed. A separate focus is placed on approaches to classifying innovations in various spheres: service, technological, managerial, systemic, and social innovations. Innovative models of public administration, including the classical bureaucratic model, new public management, network management, and neo-Weberian model, are analyzed. The article explores the prospects of applying artificial intelligence and ensuring cybersecurity as priority directions in the context of digital transformation. The implementation of innovations in public administration is a complex strategic task that requires systematic efforts to modernize both organizational structures and the qualifications of public servants.

An Event-Centric Knowledge Graph Approach for Public Administration as an Enabler for Data Analytics

In a continuously evolving environment, organizations, including public administrations, need to quickly adapt to change and make decisions in real-time. This requires having a real-time understanding of their context that can be achieved by adopting an event-native mindset in data management which focuses on the dynamics of change compared to the state-based traditional approaches. In this context, this paper proposes the adoption of an event-centric knowledge graph approach for the holistic data management of all data repositories in public administration. Towards this direction, the paper proposes an event-centric knowledge graph model for the domain of public administration that captures these dynamics considering events as first-class entities for knowledge representation. The development of the model is based on a state-of-the-art analysis of existing event-centric knowledge graph models that led to the identification of core concepts related to event representation, on a state-of-the-art analysis of existing public administration models that identified the core entities of the domain, and on a theoretical analysis of concepts related to events, public services, and effective public administration in order to outline the context and identify the domain-specific needs for event modeling. Further, the paper applies the model in the context of Greek public administration in order to validate it and showcase the possibilities that arise. The results show that the adoption of event-centric knowledge graph approaches for data management in public administration can facilitate data analytics, continuous integration, and the provision of a 360-degree-view of end-users. We anticipate that the proposed approach will also facilitate real-time decision-making, continuous intelligence, and ubiquitous AI.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ НА ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЕ УПРАВЛЕНИЕ

Social informatization is the main trend of modern society, which is the driving force behind the modernization of public administration. The development of information technology has a profound impact on the elements and processes of public administration, such as administrative personnel, administrative decisionmaking, administrative organizations, administrative methods, administrative documents and models of public administration.

ВЛИЯНИЕ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ НА РАЗВИТИЕ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО УПРАВЛЕНИЯ

In the information age, information technologies are the most basic and widespread technical means. Information technology will inevitably be widely used in all areas and aspects of human social life, and the sphere of public administration is no exception. Currently, we are at the initial stage of information technology development in public administration. It is very important for us to predict the reasonable form of changes caused by information technologies in the field of public administration. Informatization is the main trend of modern society, which is the force of the process of modernization of public administration. The development of information technology has a profound impact on the elements and processes of public administration, such as administrative personnel, administrative decision-making, administrative organizations, administrative methods, administrative documents and models of public administration.

КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНЫЕ ОСНОВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННО-ЧАСТНОГО ПАРТНЕРСТВА В СФЕРЕ ФИЗИЧЕСКОЙ КУЛЬТУРЫ И СПОРТА

New geopolitical challenges are causing changes in approaches to the model of public administration in various sectors of the social sphere of the economy. In this regard, the article discusses the need for wider use of the public-private partnership mechanism to solve problems in the development of the sphere of physical culture and sports. The article provides an overview of domestic and foreign research on the problems of implementing public-private partnerships, issues of development of any objects or processes, and also analyzes sources related to the formation of documents of a conceptual nature. As key elements of a possible path for the development and dissemination of public-private partnerships in the field of physical culture and sports as an effective mechanism for solving the problems of the designated area, the purpose, objectives and factors for the development of PPP in the field, principles, directions and development processes are identified. The basis for determining new directions for the implementation of PPP in the area under study were four directions of action by the state regulator, ensuring the positioning of the Russian Federation as a leading world power. The article proposes unique principles for the development of PPP in the field of sports and physical culture. Based on the results of an analysis of the problems of implementing partnerships, including in the field of physical culture and sports, the main processes of PPP development in the area under study were identified. The key conclusion from the study is that the proposed approach to the development of PPP in the field of sports and physical culture is based on the idea of expanding the areas of partnership implementation, in contrast to the use of this mechanism today exclusively for the creation of infrastructure facilities. The scientific significance of the study lies in determining a balanced approach to managing the development and expansion of PPP in the field of physical culture and sports. The gradual and uniform expansion and development of all the most important aspects that form the core of the physical education and sports sector, through the implementation of PPP projects, will ensure the achievement of the objectives outlined in the Development Strategy for the physical education and sports sector in the Russian Federation.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ МОДЕЛИ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО УПРАВЛЕНИЯ ИНСТИТУТАМИ РАЗВИТИЯ НА ПРИМЕРЕ РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫХ ГАРАНТИЙНЫХ ОРГАНИЗАЦИЙ

Changes in the economic situation associated with the imposition of sanctions against key sectors of the national economy, as well as the cessation of entrepreneurial activity by many foreign enterprises in Russia, are forming a new economic reality for the small and medium-sized business sector. On the one hand, in the context of increasing focus on import substitution of products, it is appropriate to talk about the unique opportunities for Russian small and medium-sized enterprises to develop their own production. On the other hand, it is necessary to note the limitations of these opportunities, primarily due to the insufficient volume of concessional borrowed resources from the state to strengthen the positions of SMEs in the market and increase the competitiveness of their products. Important in this case is formation of an effective model of public administration by institutions for the development of entrepreneurship support. The article considers the features of the state model of management of regional guarantee organizations as development institutions. Providing SMEs with access to borrowed resources for the development of their activities, problems were identified and recommendations were developed.

Процеси реформування в системі державного управління в умовах російсько-української війни: адаптивний сценарій

The relevance of the chosen problem is due to the consideration that the transition to a modern system of public administration with strong institutions supported by the rule of law will require the Ukrainian government to make steps that should be undertaken during hostilities, to elaborate those strategic priorities that will direct the State towards democratization and the European integration. The article discusses integration processes in the field of public administration in the context of the russian-Ukrainian war. On the basis of the analysis, generalization and systematization of scientific sources, the tendencies of development of integration processes in the sphere of public administration in modern conditions are highlighted, the need for further efforts in the direction of the European integration is proved. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the substantiation by the author of the steps aimed at reconstruction and effective mobilization of public administration resources for restoring the ability of all levels of government, regions and municipalities of Ukraine to solve problems that bring the country closer to membership in the European Union. The article brings forward the argument that today the model of «proper governance» is one of the most attractive alternatives to the model of public administration, the implementation of which is possible in the presence of a number of conditions, the observance of which appears problematic, taking into account the problems resulting from military aggression, but, at the same time, even today the State can take certain steps to implement the model of «proper governance». At this, the basic postulates of the model allow us to say that «proper governance» is not just one of the options for public administration, but rather the philosophy of organizing life in the State, which provides for cooperation as the main form of interaction between various participants in those processes (social, economic, political, informational) that characterize the genuine diversity of the activities of the modern State. The author came to the conclusion that during the wartime, all authorities acquire important experience in development of the planning and financing, which can be used in the post-war period to increase the operativeness and efficiency of strategic decisions related to the approximation to the European Union. Nowadays, the executive authorities should build capacity, analyze and implement the best European experience, try to adopt the style of management and communication that is inherent in the European public administration practice.

Modern Concepts of Public Administration in the Context of Sustainable Development

"The article examines the main problems of the XXI century, the overcoming of which led to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015, replacing the Millennium Development Goals. The authors systematically consider the governance process in sustainable development, paying particular attention to the structural-functional and information-behavioral subsystems of governance. Also, special attention is paid to the development of information technology and civil society, as well as other changes in the late XX – early XXI century. These changes have influenced the concepts of public administration, which are fundamental to achieving the SDGs. The article aims to determine the methodological approaches necessary for the functioning of the public administration system in the context of sustainable development. The primary research method used was a bibliographic study, both descriptive and analytical. The analysis of scientific literature allowed the authors to conclude that the following modern concepts of public administration in the context of sustainable development can be implemented: “management of public values,” “digital citizenship,” “political networks,” “smart (receptive/reflective) governance,” results/goals-based management, FAST-concept, “Open Government,” and “Activating State.” The importance of involving people in addressing sustainable development issues related to significant social, economic, and environmental problems, policy-making, and public service delivery is hardly disputed today. As shown, modern concepts aim to enable citizens to participate in such processes. These include access to and availability of information and the development of communication technologies, including social media. In the XXI century of Knowledge Societies, the most creative solutions will be created through open interaction and reliance on shared resources. The extraordinary events (the pandemic and the war in Ukraine) have significantly slowed down the process of achieving Sustainable Development Goals and, in some cases, made it impossible to achieve any results for some goals. As a result, a new model of public administration in the context of sustainable development will be required. The prospects for further research include defining a new concept of public administration and its provision, which will consider the advantages of modern concepts and ensure their synergistic effect so that the sustainable development agenda is adopted by the state, business, and society."

Метаморфоза парадигмы государственного управления и новые требования к квалификационным характеристикам госслужащих

In conditions of rapidly changing external environment, increasing international tension, and more complicated public policy, the theory of public administration must quickly adapt. Traditional models of public administration based on strict hierarchical subordination are extremely ineffective, which necessitates their radical rethinking and redesign. These changes affect the requirements for the qualification profile of civil servants. The key trend is the rejection of team management methods in favor of methods based on participation, involvement, effective motivation. The purpose of the study is to analyze the theory of public administration basic concepts (models); to establish the functions and tasks of civil servants and arrange them; to identify key trends in the society development that affect the qualification profile of civil servants. The research is based on scientific works, statistical data of national and foreign agencies and institutes, empirical data. Scientific methods: literature analysis, comparative analysis, synthesis, generalization, observation; methods, used in the article are of scientific abstraction and abstract thinking. The novelty of the research lies in the conclusion that the paradigm of public administration shifts towards social partnership and decentralization of public administration, increasing the responsibility of civil servants.

Current issues of regulation of conduction of reliability and completeness checks of income, expenses, digitalization digital directions of public management at the federal level in the conditions of a new stage of digital transformation of public management

The article is devoted to the study of promising tasks of improving public administration processes at the federal level in the context of a new stage of digital transformation of public management. The author argues the relevance and significance of the research topic. The current stage of digital transformation of public administration in foreign countries and in the Russian Federation is analyzed and evaluated, expressed in the transition of the “digital government” public administration model to a new stage of development — to Version 2.0 — the “GovTech-government” model. A general description of the trend directions of GovTech-technologization in the world practice of public administration is given, examples of local experience of their implementation in foreign countries are considered. The thesis is proved about the possibility of achieving great results and effects in improving the processes of public administration at the federal level in the Russian Federation in this direction, despite the situation of socio-economic instability in the country. Emphasis is placed on the fact that for the purposes of a successful transition from the “digital government” model to the “GovTech-government” model, there is a need to centralize management in new priority cross-departmental development areas, introduce other “administrative” GovTech development tools that have been successfully tested and applied in the international practice of public administration at the federal level.

DECISION-MAKING AND THE CONCEPTS OF TRADITIONALISM IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF JAPAN: PHILOSOPHICAL AND POLITICAL ANALYSIS

The article deals with various aspects of decision-making in public administration in Japan. State bodies at all levels of government make decisions of both strategic and operational nature. The Japanese model of public administration in Japan differs significantly from public administration systems in other countries. National specificity predetermined the emergence of original forms and methods of public administration, characterized by a low degree of formalization, flexibility and a predominant focus on people rather than organizational structures. In addition, the formal uncertainty of management procedures, a kind of traditional culture leads to the amorphousness and complexity of the organizational mechanism, the fuzzy legal status of managers and managed, making the management process closer to art than to science.

Modernization of public administration in Eastern Europe in the context of implementation of digitalization

The European Union is taking significant steps and supporting the efforts of member countries to improve the quality of public services. The requirements for the digitization of the latter, to improve communication links, highlight the relevance of the research topic by shifting the emphasis to the indirect assessment of the impact of technology transfer in the field of public administration on citizens' satisfaction with public services. The object of research in this work is the public administration models of the selected countries. The research hypothesis assumes that membership in the EU has a significant impact on the efficiency of public services. Given this, there is an opportunity to transfer technologies, namely technologies of state management. The countries of Eastern Europe were selected for the study. The work is based on the limitations inherent in the EU accession process. For evaluation, three regression models were proposed for use in practice. These are a baseline model, a fixed-effects model to account for unobserved differences between countries, and a model with additional factors. The specified models were estimated using the least-square method (LSM). Based on the calculations of the first model, it was determined that the coefficient is statistically significant at the level of 1 %, which explains 12.6 % of the variation in the Index of Public Services (IPS). The results of the estimation of the second model make it possible to estimate IPS more accurately by 0.68. Based on the results of the calculation of the third model, the features of the influence of GDP and IPS were determined. The results prove that the accession of Eastern European countries to the EU has a significant impact on the efficiency of public services. In this case, the possibility of technology transfer appears. Digitization of public administration is an innovative technology that allows bringing the citizen and the state closer together as efficiently as possible
