The Racial Formation of Asian American Non-Profit Work in Orange County, California

This article examines how a distinct racialized identity of Asian Americans is asserted through the work of ethnic non-profit organizations in Orange County, California. This area is home to the third-largest Asian American population in the United States but also has historically been seen as a suburban region with limited infrastructure to support ethnic communities. Using a regional racial formation theory framework, this study shows how diversity has been integral to understanding the Asian American identity, but that the regional context matters in how we define this pan-ethnic identity and its diversity. This narrative of diversity expressed by non-profit organization community leaders contribute to a re-articulation of an Asian American identity that underscores the distinct mix of Asian ethnic groups that contrasts with older urban immigrant gateways; challenges the model minority stereotype through mental health and anti-Asian discrimination advocacy; and emphasizes place and issue-based work that extends beyond their ethnic communities. The findings highlight how Asian American non-profit work provides lessons for broadly addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion in public administration practice.

Uncovering Partnership among Village Stakeholders in Village Governance: An Evidence from East Java, Indonesia

This study uncovers the partnership interactions that occur in village government in East Java and aims to determine the partnership, described and explained in the form of a quadrant-type of analysis through two dimensions of Government and Non-partnership. The existence of two institutions (village government and BPD) that carried out village governance requires a robust partnership and mutual interactions among both in the implementation of their activities, the pattern of partnership relations itself has become a trend in public administration and good governance practices, where partnerships are considered capable of increasing the effectiveness of governance in the provision of public services. The data analysis used in this research is descriptive quantitative by measuring the mean of two dimensions, so that it can describe the quadrant that explains the partnership relationship between the two institutions. The results of this analysis indicate that the partnership relationship that occurs occupies the partnership quadrant, meaning that there is a high alliance between the two institutions.

Tax Farming Revenues and Accounting in Ottoman Finance: The Case of Kocaeli (1846–1847)

Unlike the European nations that shifted from privatized tax collection to a centralized government control system, the Ottoman Empire successfully maintained its tax farming system. Yet, there is ample evidence against the views that such a system was backward and wasteful are not entirely correct, but that the Ottoman tax collection method was successful in its own historical context. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reveal evidence of whether the Ottoman Empire implemented a successful tax farming system in the 19th century based on the accounting records of tax farming revenues considering the Ottoman public finances, institutional infrastructure, and administrative practices in a broader European context. Accordingly, the present study utilized the Prime Minister’s Ottoman Archives, the records of Revenue (Varidat) Accounting Administration, and the tax farming auctions in the Central Council (Majlis-i Val’a). The economic and financial conditions of the period were also considered in the analysis of the data. Evaluation of the tax collected by tax collectors in Kocaeli Province (Sancak) revealed the nature of economic activities in the empire. It can be stated that tax collectors in Kocaeli Province paid the total amount of 395,612 Guruş (Ottoman currency) tax revenue in five installments in 3 months and that the highest tax was collected from the sales of alcoholic beverages. Adet-i Ağnam (the tax collected for sheep and goat breeding) collected from each district was auctioned for tax farming price of 51,610 Guruş. In addition to these taxes, taxes from trade, forestry, maritime, and industrial production were included in the tax farming revenues. Overall, considering the adverse political and economic conditions in the historical process, the Ottoman Empire’s tax farming system was successful in collecting taxes and was a part of the formation of the modern Ottoman public finance system.

TAXES, DUTIES AND CONTRIBUTIONS AS A MEANS OF FORMING PUBLIC FINANCES

Public finances represent the economic engine of the rule of law. The way in which the financial means are collected depends on whether the State honours its obligations towards its citizens. Due to the complexity of the content and subject matter, the author has set himself the objective of elucidating the method of establishing budget revenues through taxes, duties and state social security and health insurance contributions. This article also highlights the tax administration mechanisms through which the State ensures the collection of the financial means intended for public needs. The entire scientific approach has combined economic theory in the field of public finances and recent tax administration practices used by the State Tax Service in relation to taxpayers.

Синхронизация приоритетов социально-экономического развития Российской Федерации и регионов в документах стратегического планирования

The approval of several crucial strategic planning documents at the federal level of public administration in recent years, in particular, the “Fundamentals of state policy in strategic planning in the Russian Federation”, made the problem of consistency and balance of strategic planning documents within the framework of goal-setting developed at various levels of the public administration. The purpose of the article is to suggest measures to ensure the interconnection of goals, objectives, and priorities reflected in strategic planning documents generated as part of goalsetting at the federal and regional levels of the public administration system, what is in demand in the practice of public administration of the Russian Federation. The theoretical basis of research is the methodology of strategic planning of territories. The critical method is the decomposition method, which allows to study the processes and phenomena that exist (or occurred in the past) and to develop the new ones, the creation of which is necessary to ensure conditions for sustainable social and economic development of territories at various levels. The specificity of the research approach lies in the fact that the decomposition procedure is carried out in the territorial aspect (spatial criterion), involves the use of various generalizations (logical measure), and is implemented within a given time frame (time criterion). It is proved that the promotion of national priorities to the regional level requires their “embedding” in the strategies of social and economic development of macro-regions and then in social and economic development of regions. It is proved that the “set” of the following documents: “National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation”, Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On the national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030”, strategy of social and economic development of federal districts and the process of social and economic development of federal entities will ensure synchronization of goals, objectives, and priorities of strategic planning documents at federal and regional levels. The analysis of the strategic goal-setting documents of national and regional levels of the state structure of the Russian Federation carried out using as the example of the regions of the Southern Federal District showed a low degree of their synchronization, consisting in the fact that the goals, objectives, and priorities of development written in the documents of the regional level do not fully reflect the goals, objectives, and preferences of product declared at the federal level.

Improvement of the system of institutional support of sustainable environmental management of the Carpathian region and the Euroregion “Bug”

Purpose. The aim of the study is to improve the organizational structure of institutional support of sustainable environmental management in the Carpathian region and the Euroregion “Bug”.
 Methodology / approach. The general theoretical scientific methods, fundamental principles of environmental economics, cross-border cooperation, which are highlighted in the works of both Ukrainian and foreign scientists on economic problems of ensuring sustainable environmental management, were used as the methodological basis of the study. To perform the tasks, the following research methods were used: monographic (to study the principles of environmental management); system-structural (to study the essence and content of institutional support of sustainable environmental management); institutional (to assess the relationship and research the cross-effect between regional and local authorities); abstract-logical (theoretical and methodical generalizations and formulation of conclusions).
 Results. The developed theoretical-and-methodological, and applied provisions for improving the system of institutional support of sustainable environmental management were logically brought to the level of specific proposals suitable for implementation into the practice of public administration and local government in the context of cross-border cooperation. It was proposed to develop the Concept of balanced development of cross-border and border regions for 2022–2026, highlighting the state of implementation of current tasks, prospects for projects, cross-border cooperation agreements, integration of border regions to the European information and intellectual domain as well as monitoring the state of their implementation in the future. All of that will provide an opportunity to get sustainable development and improvement of the reputation of the border areas of Ukraine from the ecological, economic, and social points of view.
 Originality / scientific novelty. It was formed and scientifically substantiated from the standpoint of an integrated approach and synergistic effect, necessary strategic imperatives and preconditions for developing a strategy of cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and neighbouring countries on the terms of joint implementation of Strategies, programs, and agreements that correspond to the strategic directions of ecological, economic, and social development of each country and region, outline the needs and future goals of cross-border cooperation to avoid isolated development of only one of the parties in the context of cross-border and Euroregional cooperation.
 Practical value / implications. A system model of institutional support for cross-border cooperation is developed, which interacts with elements of the internal and external environment in particular based on a single regulatory framework, which will serve as a doctrine of environmentally balanced development and will allow implementation in practice a comprehensive approach of solving environmental, economic and social transboundary problems and ensure environmental protection based on complementary requirements established in border and cross-border regions.

The Pandora Papers Opens up Pandora’s Box: Integrity in Crisis

Integrity lies at the center of state-society interactions, with broad implications for the practice of public administration, governance, and public service delivery. The Pandora Papers leaks are hard examples of integrity violations, shining a light on how public administration operates in practice. The integrity deficits revealed not only threaten people’s wellbeing, but also put on display the state’s leniency toward rich and powerful people accumulating wealth through corruption, fraud, and tax evasion, among other crimes. In this context, this article attempts to understand whether the Pandora Papers leaks violate of the fundamentals of integrity. Drawing on cases and examples, the findings of the article show that the Pandora Papers illustrate the integrity deficit of statesmen, political leaders, businesspersons, and bureaucrats, the people responsible for ensuring integrity in managing the state and statecraft. The article further elucidates that bad governance affects integrity, both nationally and globally.

The Relations between Soviet Government Entities and Scientific Institutions in the Context of a Postmodern Approach to History

The article examines and analyzes the state structures of Soviet Ukraine in the 20s and 30s of the twentieth century, which were responsible for the organization, support and control in the field of culture and science of the country. In line with the postmodern transformations of this chronological segment, the system of state structures and their influence on the activities of semi-independent scientific organizations have been reconstructed. In view of postmodernism as a philosophical current, the nonviolent resistance of the scientific intelligentsia to proletarian culture, forced by the Soviet nomenklatura with a mass, uncompromising character, is revealed. The political processes around state structures and scientific organizations are reproduced in historical retrospect. The activity of scientific organizations of the above historical period is investigated and an attempt is made to reproduce their organizational and social network. The article proves that the evolution of modern society is due to the complex influence of a set of important trends and factors that determine the progressive development of its economic, political, social and spiritual spheres. The relevance of the study is due to modern transformation processes in a post-communist society focused on democratic, liberal European values. With the spread and development of liberal views in Ukrainian society, we are increasingly seeing the emergence of private scientific institutions, which are the prototypes of scientific organizations of the previous century. As a result, their internal activities and connections with other organizations are of great interest today, not only among scientists, but also among business representatives. This necessitates a more in-depth development of this problem, taking into account the evolution of the theory and practice of social and public administration of various forms of ownership of organizations and enterprises.

Caveats to Governing With Empathy

In recent years, scholars have called for integrating empathy into the practice and scholarship of public administration. As a concept gaining traction in the field, greater conceptual clarity is needed. This paper contributes to efforts to develop the concept of empathy for public administration by highlighting potential misapplications, thus encouraging the field to recognize empathy’s negative as well as positive aspects. Specifically, it addresses concerns related to misdirecting empathy to the wrong target (filtered empathy), misattributing the source of the other’s emotions (false empathy), and overlooking broader social structures and power dynamics shaping interactions. Examining these caveats highlights opportunities to be more intentional with empathy’s use in citizen-state relations, in marketing practices in public and nonprofit organizations, and in developing the skills and knowledge of public administrators.

ЭФФЕКТИВНОЕ МЕСТНОЕ УПРАВЛЕНИЕ: БОЛЬШИЕ ИЛИ МАЛЫЕ ЕДИНИЦЫ (ОПЫТ АРМЕНИИ)

The purpose of this research was to identify the impact of the size of local government units on the local public services, whether small or large local government units are preferable for the implementation of effective local governance. A whole complex of financial and socio-economic indicators from 465 amalgamated communities in Armenia, as well as the newly formed 52 clusters, were collected and analyzed, by creating a database and polynomial regression models to quantitatively measure the impact of the size of local government units on the provision of public services. The analysis has quantitatively proven that for certain public services it would be more favorable to have larger local government units, however, the small and medium-size consolidated clusters do not provide a significant increase in the provision of public services. Thus, for having substantial outcomes from consolidation the new local government units have to be much larger than they were before. Moreover, effective local governance requires both large and small local government units with its own powers and responsibilities. Disclosure of such relationships can be useful not only for ensuring better reforms in territorial administration and local governance but also for contributing to the theory and practice of public administration and local government.

«Дивный новый мир»: к вопросу о стратегиях развития цифровой экономики

The article analyzes conditions for implementing the digital economy strategy during the pandemic. The author considers the importance of networking platforms and digital databases for developing corporate businesses. The article provides statistics on lobbying business interests of digital corporations in the USA and the EU, the growth of digital corporations’ profits during the pandemic, and the number and distribution of researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. The article generalizes the importance of digitalization for all sectors of the economy and the social sphere. If we want to study digitalization strategies, it is necessary not only to form priorities and strategic goal-setting but also to provide resources for the selected priorities and directions of implementing digital technologies, as evidenced by the practice of public administration. The author notes that Big Data is of particular importance. The aggregation of these information datasets forms new lines of business and influences managerial decisions both in the corporate and private sectors of the economy and in the public administration system itself. The study demonstrates the process of monopolization of the digital services market. The largest corporations in digitalization and info-communication services are formed in the US and Chinese economies. These tendencies might have significant impact on public policy and the system of public service provision. The author concludes on the strategic importance of information and networking platforms in the modern digital economy and the strategic importance of startups and artificial intelligence.

Strategic planning in the mechanism of public administration: innovations in legal regulation

The subject of this article is the study of a new stage in the development of state policy in the field of strategic planning. The object of the study was the social relations developing in the sphere of strategic planning implementation in Russia and its regulatory and legal regulation.Methods of synthesis and analysis of literary and documentary sources, classification, generalization, formal legal method were used to write the article. Particular attention is paid to the innovations of regulatory regulation caused by the publication of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 633 "Fundamentals of state policy in the field of strategic planning in the Russian Federation". The relevance of the study is due to the fact that despite the adoption of Federal Law No. 172-FZ on strategic planning 7 years ago, it is not necessary to say that such planning has reached the necessary qualitative level that ensures the effective functioning of the public administration system in the country - it is no coincidence that the issues of the formation of the practice of strategic planning are constantly in the focus of management states. The article provides a comparative analysis of new initiatives and their impact on the practice of public administration. The trends and patterns of strategic planning are analyzed. The approaches of specialists in relation to the legal aspects of planning are presented. The shortcomings of the legal framework of Russian legislation in the field of strategic planning are noted. The system of documents forming the basis for the application of this method is considered, and an opinion is expressed on the prospect of developing a mechanism for coordinating and controlling strategic planning documents. It is concluded that "The fundamentals of state policy in the field of strategic planning ..." They should be supplemented with a Plan for their implementation with a list of necessary regulatory legal and methodological documents that disclose specific aspects and procedures for their impact on the strategic planning system across the country and its regions. It is advisable to approve a number of provisions of the Decree as additions to Federal Law No. 172-FZ.

Политика и управление в условиях цифровой трансформации: политологический ракурс искусственного интеллекта

Introduction: under the influence of the artificial intelligence and other digital technologies and trends, the “input” of the political system inevitably receives from the environment the impulses producing variable and uncertain consequences and radically transforming the system as a whole or its individual subsystems and functions. The discourse of modern political knowledge does not seem to give due consideration to the political science understanding of artificial intelligence as a phenomenon of modern politics and administration in the context of digital transformation. Objectives: to reveal the political science foundations of artificial intelligence, to identify the features and potential of artificial intelligence for modern political theory and public administration practice in the context of world experience and Belarusian political and legal realities in the conditions of digital transformation. Methods: discourse analysis, case studies, systems methodological approach, SWOT analysis, political forecasting methodology, comparative studies. Results: political phenomena are explained, evaluated and predicted in the context of big political data analysis, Web 3.0 virtual-real interface modeling of political system, automation and intellectualization of managerial activities and political practices, proactive political decision-making and public service delivery, digital profiling and social scoring of individuals and legal entities, new deepfake tools for post-truth politics and “soft power”, etc. Conclusions: in the conditions of digital transformation, the political theory of artificial intelligence is being formed, within which the political science community of higher education develops new programs and disciplines for the specialty “Political Science” in the field of artificial intelligence. The use of artificial intelligence technologies in politics and administration, on the one hand, is predetermined by numerous significant advantages and wide opportunities; on the other hand, it is associated with a number of weaknesses, serious external risks and threats that should be taken into account when making decisions concerning the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies into the political system.

ІНСТИТУЦІЙНИЙ РОЗВИТОК СТРАТЕГІЧНИХ КОМУНІКАЦІЙ В УКРАЇНІ (НА ПРИКЛАДІ МІНІСТЕРСТВ)

The introduction of strategic communications into public administration practices has acquired a legal basis as a result of the launch of the Strategic Communications Partnership between the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and the NATO International Staff. Promoting a culture of strategic communication at the institutional level was stated in that document. The relevance of the study of the dynamics of institutionalization of strategic communications can be explained by the need to address the problem of increasing public confidence in national strategies and activities of public authorities. The purpose of the article is to identify the dynamics of the process of institutionalization of strategic communications in central government on the example of ministries. The methodology is based on the analysis of empirical data obtained in the form of ministries' responses to information requests in 2016, 2018, 2020. The subject of the request is the presence or absence in the authority of a structural unit and/or official whose activities are related to the planning or implementation of strategic communications. The article outlines the dynamics of institutionalization of strategic communications on the example of the initiation and transformation of relevant structural units and/or positions in this area. The dynamic indicates, in particular, a decrease in the level of institutionalization in 2020 compared to 2018. The change in the number of ministries has made it impossible to express this dynamic in absolute terms. In this regard, the institutionalization ratio is proposed as the ratio of the number of ministries with the relevant structural units to the total number of ministries at the time of the study. It was found that activities in the field of strategic communications in most ministries are carried out by units that also have the function of performing other tasks in the field of information and communication activities.

Интегральная оценка энергетической ценности продовольственных ресурсов регионов

There are many approaches to assessing food supply and food security. The available tools are not perfect. The assessment is carried out mainly by aggregating indicators that are completely disparate in their essence. These indicators are often expressed in natural or cost units. The existing methods are difficult to use. The energy value of food is a promising indicator. The essence of this indicator allows it to become an integral indicator. The works of Russian researchers contain the use of this indicator to assess the level of food consumption per capita. But these works do not contain examples of assessing the level of food supply for the population of the regions. The indicator “Dietary Energy Supply (DES)” is used in foreign practice. This indicator represents the dietary energy supply as a percentage of the average dietary energy requirement per capita. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for the integral assessment of the energy value of the region's food resources. The methodology was tested by calculating the energy value of food resources in the regions of the Siberian Federal District. The agro-industrial complex of Siberian regions produced food worth 57.3 thousand teracalories in 2020. This assessment is based on the application of coefficients of energy value of the enlarged groups of food resources. The proposed method is easy to use. It does not require a lot of time. The area of the potential application of the methodology is scientific research and public administration practice

INTERACTION OF GOVERNMENT, SCIENTIFIC AND EXPERT COMMUNITY: PROSPECTS OF EVIDENCE-BASED POLICY IN RUSSIA

This article analyzes the interaction of state, scientific, and expert communities in order to determine the prospects for introducing the methods of “evidence-based policy” into the Russian practice of public administration. It reveals to what extent the representatives of the state and expert communities are ready to cooperate to increase the scientific validity of government decisions. Research was carried out by using focused interviews. The purposive sample included public authorities and representatives of scientific, expert, and educational communities from ten regions of Russia. In general, both public servants and representatives of scientific and expert communities realize the significance of using evidence-based policy tools for developing government decisions. However, the mutual expectations that are formed can hardly be called harmonious due to a fair amount of skepticism on both sides. A significant number of public servants doubt that scientific knowledge of social, economic, and political processes is objective, and some are afraid that scientists will introduce their value preferences into analytical materials. The representatives of scientific community, in their turn, suspect decision-makers of being overly obsessed with a narrow circle of confidants, of misunderstanding of the role of analytics in the development of public policy, and an inability to appreciate the work done by expert scientists. Lack of mutual trust is the main reason for the skeptical attitude of decision-makers to cooperate with the scientific and expert community and pushes them either to maintain contacts with proven analytical centers, as a rule, affiliated with the government, or forces them to rely solely on materials prepared by employees of the relevant state departments.

CURRENT APPROACHES TO UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF DISCRETIONARY POWERS OF THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the nature of the discretionary powers of the public administration of Ukraine. Carrying out theoretical studies of the legal categorical apparatus in the science of administrative law ensures the correct understanding of certain concepts, serves as a guide for the law-making activity of public administration, improvement of legislation and judicial practice in the consideration of legal disputes in the public sphere. Features of their legal regulation and prospects for improving interpretation and understanding are characterized. Based on the theoretical developments of administrative and legal science, domestic and foreign legislation, and the results of administrative practice, an analysis of a number of elements of the conceptual and categorical apparatus was carried out. Legal categories: ‘administrative discretion’, ‘discretion’ and their relationship with the concept of ‘discretionary powers’ were studied. The article draws attention to the fact that the presence of discretionary powers is a way to solve existing problems in the law enforcement practice of public administration and their officials and officials. Along with this, when talking about discretionary powers, the issue of the appropriate conceptual apparatus needs clarification and additional study. It is substantiated that all interpretations and concepts of the definition and interpretation of the concepts of ‘discretionary powers’ cannot be reduced to a single term and approach, the multifaceted understanding of the meaning of the concept of ‘discretionary powers’ is a peculiar scientific reflection of the instability and multifacetedness of social relations, and the legal regulation of public administration activities . It was concluded that the discretionary powers of the public administration should be defined as a set of their rights and obligations regulated by the norms of administrative law, to act at their own discretion. At the same time, discretionary powers should not be considered as absolute freedom of administrative discretion. Such limitation of discretion in the content of discretionary powers should occur in the limitation of state power through the guarantee of human rights. And this approach should be the basis of discretionary powers. Therefore, it is important to develop and at the legislative level establish the conditions and limits of the use of discretionary powers by state authorities and local selfgovernment bodies.

Administracji publicznej współpraca z prasą – przykra konieczność czy szansa?

SummaryThe subject of the article is an analysis of the issue of cooperation between public administration and the press – its legal basis as well as its current condition in the reality of social life. The press is an entity operating in the administrative environment, cooperation with which may support carrying out of public administration tasks. The argument for such a perspective in analyzing this issue is the fact that the aims of both entities’ activities – public administration and the press – are essentially the same; it is the public interest and the welfare of citizens. Therefore, the cooperation between public administration and the press may become an instrument for improving the organization and functioning of the administrative apparatus, strengthening its transparency and the confidence of citizens in the activities of public administration. The evaluation of this cooperation is directly related to the practice of public administration and the level of freedom of the press in Poland.

ПРІОРИТЕТНІ НАПРЯМИ УДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ МЕХАНІЗМІВ ПУБЛІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ У СФЕРІ ЗОВНІШНЬОЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ УКРАЇНИ В СУЧАСНИХ УМОВАХ

The article investigates current priority areas for improving public administration mechanisms in the field of foreign economic security. In particular, it is noted that public administration in the field of foreign economic security is a dynamic process that develops over time, space and depends on many factors. It is established that the main political and security trends of today indicate that global contradictions are exacerbated in the world, which together with the ineffectiveness of international security instruments does not allow to resolve existing and provokes new conflicts. The competition of large powers is intensifying, in particular for resources - human, natural, economic, etc. Stronger international players seek to improve their positions at the expense of weaker ones... The nature of international conflicts is changing, in which non-military instruments are playing an increasing role: political-diplomatic, economic, information-psychological, cybernetic. Mercenaries, paramilitary groups, private military companies, criminal and terrorist organizations, and religious sects are increasingly used. It is determined that in the Foreign Policy Strategy of Ukraine, Ukraine’s relations with five countries (USA, Great Britain, Canada, Germany and France) have a strategic priority. However, the range of strategic partners is not limited to this. According to the document, Ukraine's strategic partners are Poland, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Lithuania, Romania, China and Brazil. It is also about the global partnership with Japan and the importance of cooperation with India. In turn, it emphasizes the priority of developing relations with neighboring countries, in particular, bringing contacts with Moldova to a strategic level. It is proposed to introduce into the practice of public administration of national security of Ukraine a conceptual model of formation of mechanisms of public administration in the field of foreign economic security, as well as an integrated model of institutional matrix of public administration in the field of foreign economic security.
