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.

«Образ будущего» в политико-правовой и экономической мысли российского либерализма конца XIX – начала ХХ в.

The article examines the main characteristics of the image of the future formulated in the politico-legal thought of Russian liberalism of the late 19th – early 20th century as reference points for political and social design. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that Russian liberal thought formed a general image of the future Russian society which presupposed the synthesis of a liberal worldview with historically established practices of public administration. The liberal model of reforming the country was viewed as the basis of the image of the future, and the primacy of peaceful reform of socio-political system was considered as the basic paradigm of social construction. This approach is valid for both politico-legal and socio-economic thought, although there is a certain specificity in relation to the latter, which is reflected in this article and can be found in the works of such thinkers of the time as I. Babst, I. Yanzhul, A. Butovskii, D. Mendeleev, S. Bulgakov, M. Tugan-Baranovskii, and others. Within the framework of the analysis, the following aspects of difference are considered: a significant difference in the perception of the place and interconnection of the economic system with society, which led to the appearance of the term “moral capital” in the works of Russian liberals and proof of the connection between morality and economic development; the perception of a person whose role was thought of as that of the creator of economy by Russian liberal economists in the context of the future of our country; adaptation of the European experience to the conditions of Russian reality, which forced the image of the ideal economy of the future of Russia to be adjusted taking into account national characteristics of the country; the presence in the works under analysis of a clear idea that it is possible to achieve a bright future only with a new stage of reforms “from above.” At the same time, the article emphasizes that despite the presence of the specific features under consideration, the general approach to the image of the future in the economic context fits perfectly into the mainstream liberal conception.

РОЛЬ КЛИЕНТОЦЕНТРИЧНОСТИ И РЕПУТАЦИОННЫХ РЕСУРСОВ РЕГИОНА В ФУНКЦИОНИРОВАНИИ СОВРЕМЕННОЙ СИСТЕМЫ ПУБЛИЧНОГО УПРАВЛЕНИЯ

Intangible resources of regional development are of particular importance in the context of the crisis of the economy and management, as well as increasing the level of competition for resources between regions. A reputation resource as a set of characteristics that affect the positioning of an entity in the public sphere, on the basis of which counterparties can form an opinion about the expediency and risks of interacting with it, is closely related to citizen-centricity. The latter is one of the main factors forming a reputation. Together with other factors, citizen-centricity has a significant impact on the interaction of the state, citizens and business, which makes it necessary to consider the most effective practices in this area to improve the quality of public administration. The purpose of the study is to identify the main factors of the formation of a reputation resource, as well as the formation of recommendations for the introduction of a citizen-centric approach in public administration based on the study of foreign and domestic experience. For this purpose, the article examines scientific research by Russian and foreign authors on the formation and evaluation of reputational resources, compares regulatory legal acts and practices of leading countries on the implementation of public administration practices that meet the citizen-centric approach. The main factors forming a reputation are: citizen-centricity, public positioning and socio-economic conditions. Regarding the foreign experience of implementing a citizen-centric approach in public administration, it is concluded that there is a wide diversification of methods for implementing this approach. It is related to the profiling of citizens and the maintenance of a register of life situations, the design and reengineering of services, motivation and KPIs of civil servants. Russia has already established a regulatory framework for the development of a citizen-centric approach in public administration, there are pilot regions for the introduction of citizen-centricity in various services. However, there is a lack of framework requirements for the introduction of a citizen-centered approach in terms of motivation of civil servants and KPIs of their activities in Russian practice. This aspect leaves room for the introduction of best practices in the field of citizen-centricity and is an incentive for further research in this area.

Оценка социо-эколого-экономического благополучия регионов востока России с использованием расширенной функции А. Сена

The accelerated development of the Russian Far East is among the country’s national priorities. Since the ultimate goal is to increase the well-being of the population, it is important to create a healthy environment. The article presents the comprehensive assessment results of the welfare of the Eastern regions in the context of achieving the strategic goals of the state policy for the development of the Russian Far East. The research aims to assess the character of socio-economic development, as well as to obtain quantitative characteristics of socio-ecological and economic well-being of the Eastern regions using a multiplicative model based on Sen’s extended welfare function. It is hypothesised that environmental factors play an important role in the quality of life in the Eastern regions, meaning that the inclusion of the corresponding component in the multiplicative model will lead to a decrease in the assessment of their welfare. For some regions, the study identified such negative trends as the strengthening of the raw material orientation of economic development, a decrease in the share of manufacturing industries, continuing resource export. The inclusion of the environmental component into the multiplicative model significantly affected the assessment results: in most of the Eastern regions, environmentally adjusted characteristic of regional development was significantly lower than the indicator that does not consider this aspect. Moreover, some border regions showed the worst dynamics of the examined indicators. Advantages of the border situation and accelerated development mechanisms currently implemented in the Far East have not yet contributed to a noticeable increase in the welfare of these regions. The research results can be used in the public administration practice for developing strategic planning documents, socio-economic and environmental programmes, as well as for evaluating the effectiveness of implemented accelerated development mechanisms.

Процессная модель государственного управления региональными институтами инновационного развития

Introduction: the current stage of Russia’s development is characterized by the growing influence of science, innovation and technology. With the proper realization of the potential in this field, it is possible to create conditions for reducing the technological gap between Russia and developed countries. Based on the need to increase innovation activity in the Russian economy, the article analyzes approaches to the concept of regional innovative development institutions, discusses the problems of their functioning. Objectives: to present the process model of public administration of regional innovative development institutions. Methods: in line with the systematic approach, general scientific methods were used, as well as formal-logical, structural-functional, formal-legal, and comparative legal analysis. Results: a theoretical analysis of the public administration practices existing in Russian regions has been carried out, the process model of public administration of regional innovative development institutions has been presented. The model considers the coordination scheme between the regional innovation development institutions and federal and local government authorities, as well as the business community. Coordination interaction should be carried out by the regional government authority having respective powers in the field of science and innovation. Conclusions: the application of the developed model in a region can contribute to its socio-economic development, expand the innovative component of the economy, while promoting the existing regional strengths in innovations and science.

GOVERNMENT EXPENSES AND PROBLEMS OF EFFICIENCY OF THEIR USE

The state, with the help of financial resources, finances all spheres of economic life and thereby affects the interests of every inhabitant, every subject of economic activity. In connection with the curr ent crisis affecting all economic processes, attention to finance, in particular to public finances, is becoming heightened. A lot of scientific works, as well as publications, are devoted to research on this topic. For example, in the work of R. Musgrave and P. Musgrave [1], J. Stiglitz [2], it was proposed to use the method of cost -benefit analysis when making budget decisions; the issues of effective management of budget expenditures, the solution of the problems of the effectiveness of budget expenditur es in the Republic of Kazakhstan were considered by Z.D. Iskakova, A.B. Zeinelgabdin, K.K. Ilyasov, Zh.M. Elubaeva, N.R. Veselskaya, M.T. Kakimzhanov and others. The problems of public spending in the Republic of Kazakhstan are a huge layer in the doctrine and practice of public administration. And the decision here depends on how quickly the financial system develops, how resource management is linked to laws, how responsibly the authorities approach the planning of financial resources and their use. Hence, if we consider the concept of public spending as part of the concept of public finance, then we can say that public finance cannot be fully expressed and understood without its components: public revenues, public spending.

Indigeneous Public Administration: A Review and Deconstruction of the Idea, Concept, and Theory of Government and Governance

Indigenous Public Administration (IPA) has attracted researchers' attention and awareness of the importance of developing contextual theory and practice of public administration, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. IPA emerges in many developing countries since the concept, theory and practice of Western Public Administration (WPA) have failed to respond to local issues, and therefore WPA practice is considered irrelevant. Basically, IPA is a constructed concept to fill a vacant space that unoccupied by Western Public Administration (WPA). This descriptive qualitative study aims to explain and criticize the theory and practice of IPA and WPA. The data were gathered from books, journals, institution reports, regulations and other relevant writings of organizations, professionals, and academicians. The technique of data analysis was based on a data analysis spiral. It reveals that IPA applies to countries such as Indonesia and China. In both countries, the practice of IPA helps to overcome public issues concerning social, economic, and political. It is expected that the findings of this study will pave the way for developing both concept and theory of IPA and responding to more complex society and government's demands and needs.
