Concept of principles of administrative proceedings and their system

The article defines the principles of administrative proceedings. Attention is focused on the fact that ensuring consideration and resolution of public-law conflicts, which are the subject of an appeal to an administrative court, should be based on the application of the established system of principles of administrative justice. It is noted that without observing the principles, it is impossible to achieve the unity of judicial practice. The author substantiated that the meaning and essence of the principles of administrative proceedings in the modern conditions of European integration must be considered by comparing them with the category of principles of law and principles of public administration.
 Conventionally, the principles of administrative proceedings in the system of principles of law are classified as sectoral and inter-sectoral principles. The author justifies that the principles of the judiciary should be understood as guiding principles (ideas), the implementation of which helps to solve the tasks of the judiciary, to ensure the effectiveness of its means and methods. Administrative justice is characterized by the presence of special tasks, the main of which is the protection of human and citizen rights and freedoms against the arbitrariness of officials and officials of state authorities and local self-government bodies. It is the principles of the judiciary that must be implemented in a close relationship and interdependence; only the unity of implementation of judicial principles determines their ability to properly settle public legal disputes and conflicts. Each principle of administrative justice has its own clear purpose regarding the organization and operation of courts. All principles are mutually conditioned, they cannot be considered without taking into account the general unity. They act together, closely intersect, pass into each other and flow from each other. This can be explained by the fact that all principles are united by one common goal, namely, the proper organization of judicial bodies and their effective activity. Taken together, all principles create a certain system of basic principles of administrative proceedings. The system of principles of the judicial process is a complex of grouped provisions, which are characterized by the unity of goals and tasks of a set of independent in their content, but interrelated and objectively determined principles, forming precisely in this set such a qualitative unity, without which the corresponding type of judicial procedure loses its sense. The principles of administrative proceedings are the basis for all other rules in the administrative process, and therefore there should be exactly as many of them as the present requires.

The concept and the essence of principles of administrative-law regulation

The article revolves around the nature and the essence of the principles of administrative-law regulation. The basic role of the principles of administrative-law regulation in ensuring the system organization and development of domestic administrative law, administrative legislation, administrative-law doctrine, rule-making activity and law-enforcement practice is revealed. The problem of the lack of a single concept of the principles of administrative-law regulation both in the doctrine of administrative law and in modern legal practice is highlighted. The need to develop a unified approach to understanding the principles of administrative-law regulation, based on advanced achievements of modern jurisprudence and objective realities of legal practice, is substantiated. The primary importance of applying such an approach in administrative law-making and law enforcement, in particular, in jurisdictional activity, is emphasized.
 The most well-known and widespread definitions of the concept of “principles of administrative-law regulation” are analyzed. A conclusion is made about the cardinal differences of modern scientific views on the nature, essence and system of principles of brunch regulation. Such difference does not allow to build a coherent doctrinal concept based on their simple generalization.
 The impracticality of identifying the principles of administrative-law regulation with normative rules, objective regularities of administrative legal relations, grounds for the emergence of such relations, as well as with the principles of public administration (principles of administrative activity) was established. It is emphasized that a comprehensive scientific understanding of the principles of administrative-law regulation should be based on a general theoretical understanding of the principle, as the basic grounds, the original idea, which are characterized by universality, general significance, higher imperativeness and reflect the essential provisions of theory, doctrine, science, systems of national and international law , state legal policy, policy of development of branches and institutions of law.

Influence of internal control on the effectiveness of public governance in Paraná municipalities

This study aims to verify whether the internal control of the municipalities in Paraná is effective in promoting municipal public governance. The theme’s relevance justifies the study because the internal control system and good governance practices in the public sector make obtaining more accurate information about resource allocation possible since they are based on the principles of public administration and compliance with laws. Public governance can be understood as the ability of governments to assess, direct, and monitor the management of public policies and services to effectively meet citizens’ demands (Tribunal de Contas da União [TCU], 2014). This research seeks to contribute to a more comprehensive debate about the effectiveness of internal control as an instrument of public governance among municipalities in Paraná. Also, the study can help municipal agents defend initiatives to improve the internal control systems of their municipalities and, thus, help the control of processes by stimulating the continuous improvement of structures, contributing to the achievement of society’s interest. The research was conducted with 102 municipalities in the state of Paraná. It is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach with linear regressions, with independent (internal control) and dependent (public governance) variables. The results showed internal control exerts a certain influence on the governance of the municipalities in the sample. The following variables stand out in this analysis: Monitoring Activity, positively explaining approximately 4% of the IGM variations; the Control Activity variable, negatively explaining, and Control Environment, positively explaining approximately 5% of the RNT variations; the QACI Index variable, positively explaining approximately 7% of the IEGM variations; and the Risk Assessment variable, positively explaining 7% of the IEGM variations.

Improving public services delivery: Economists’ perspective

Improving public services delivery is one of the central tasks of public administration reforms, which substantiates the high importance of analysing approaches to tackling it. The paper discusses avenues for enhancing the quality of public services delivery in the light of the findings of the latest economic research. Methodologically, the study rests on the principles of public administration. The research methods of content analysis and systematization were applied. The results of the study show that today’s approaches to improving public services do not take into account the important aspects of their production and delivery, which are revealed by the principal-agent model and the concept of search, experience and credence goods that has over half a century of history. The article shows that the empirically established negative consequences of new public management applied in the areas, such as health care and education, are direct consequences of this neglect. We formulate a number of proposals concerning the improvement of public services delivery, namely to consider the type of service, to distinguish between the quality of service and the quality of servicing, and to produce credence goods and high-quality services in non-profit organizations while involving workers oriented towards serving the society.

Improbidade administrativa e um estudo acerca da amplitude e subjetividade do art. 11 da Lei nº 8.429/1992: análise de um recorte jurisprudencial do Tribunal de Justiça de Santa Catarina

Corruption and misconduct in public office, prevention and combat are constant objects of studies about Public Administration, considering the negative impact on the democratic order, public interests and public policies. There is not exactly a legal concept for acts of administrative improbity, but Law No. 8.429/92 – The Administrative Improbity Act – known as LIA, presents a typology so that its configuration can be identified, dividing them into: acts that imply illicit enrichment (art. 9); acts that cause damage to the Treasury (art. 10); and acts that violate the principles of Public Administration (art. 11). The present study is related to the research developed by the research project “Prevention and fight against corruption: the contribution of the systematization of data related to acts of administrative improbity in the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of Santa Catarina (2015-2017)”, developed by SAPIENTIA – Research Group for the Study of Social and Organizational Transformations. The incidence of the LIA articles was identified, used as grounds for the initial petition of actions of misconduct in public office, with the objective of identifying which of them were more frequent, being the target including the innovations brought by Law No. 14.230/21, which made profound changes to the legal regime for acts of administrative improbity. The relevance of the research is justified by the fact that it corresponds to a period that preceded the Law No. 13.655/18, which included provisions on legal certainty and efficiency in the creation and application of public law in the Introduction to the Norms of Brazilian Act.

Current Principles of Public Administration and Their Effects on Policy Transfers

İnsanlığın var olduğu günden beri toplumlar birbirleriyle bilgi alışverişi içinde olmuşlardır. Öğrendikleri yöntem ve yenilikleri kendi hayatlarında uygulamaya çalışmışlardır. Tarihte birbirleriyle savaşan milletlerin bile, karşılaştıkları toplumlardan bazı şeyler öğrendikleri bilinen bir gerçektir. Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmelerle birlikte dünya globalleşmiş, milletler arası ilişkiler ve etkileşim de gelişmiştir. Hükümetler artık yeni bir politika denemeden önce politika maliyetleri ve riskleri üzerinde durmaya başlamışlardır. Yeni politikaları maliyet ve risklerini göze alarak denemek yerine, başka milletlerin uygulamalarına bakarak onların tecrübelerinden faydalanmayı öğrenmişlerdir. 
 Bu çalışmada, kamu yönetimi anlayışı ve ilkelerinde yaşanan değişim hakkında bilgi verilecektir. Uygulanan kamusal politika ve reformların, karşılaştırma ve politika transferi yoluyla yaygınlık kazanması üzerinde durulacaktır. Çalışmanın amacı kamu yönetiminde kabul gören güncel ilkelerin bu karşılaştırmalara ve politika transferlerine olan etkilerini analiz etmektir. Çalışmada, Yeni Kamu Yönetimi reformları ile birçok ülkede yaygınlaşan bu ilkelerin aynı zamanda kamu yönetimlerini karşılaştırma yapma, politika öğrenme ve transfer etmeye teşvik eden içeriklere sahip oldukları ortaya konulmaktadır.

The Ancient Origins of Modern Public Administration (Based on the Materials of the Hebrew Bible)

Currently, there is a certain discrepancy between the theory of public administration and declarations in this area to the real state of affairs in the modern state. The purpose of the study is to search for the origins of public administration in the texts of the Hebrew Bible, as well as to compare modern principles of public administration with biblical ones in order to demonstrate the relevance of politically oriented texts of an ancient religious monument. Comparative analysis, retrospective analysis, as well as the system method were used as scientific methods in this study. The work used the texts of the Holy Scriptures, as well as the approaches of domestic and foreign scientists to understanding these texts in the context of studying the basics of public administration. A comparative study of modern principles of public administration and those foundations of statehood, which were described in the Hebrew Bible, allows us to demonstrate their continuity. The authors come to the conclusion that, if we do not take into account the divine version of the cessation of the existence of the statehood of the ancient Jews for a long time, it can be stated that it was the violation of the principles of state organization that destroyed the ancient state. But the politically well-developed mentality of the people and political culture allowed this statehood to resume after millennia. Thus, the organization of public administration, according to the Hebrew Bible, with proper adaptation to modern realities, can at least partially solve problems in this area.

Analysis of the modern functional field of effective implementation of public control in the system of public administration in Ukraine

AbstractThe relevance of this article lies in the fact that the study of the public administration system in Ukraine is an important issue. In modern Ukrainian society there is a clear demand for effective ways to involve the general public and create real mechanisms for implementing democratic principles of public administration through European integration processes. The aim of the study is to analyse the current functional field in the processes of public control in the public administration system of Ukraine. The following research methods were used: analysis and synthesis of information, comparative method, method of sociological research, as well as the method of induction. At the final stage of the study, an analysis of scientific sources on the research topic was carried out. According to the results of the study, it can be argued that the effectiveness of public control in Ukraine directly depends on the state of development of civil society and the level of interaction of its subjects with state authorities and their officials. This largely depends on the motivation of the competent authorities, since state institutions, especially in the legal and organisational spheres, ensure the development of civil society and form the basis for public participation in governance. The practical significance of the research results lies in the fact that the research presented in the article and the analysis of literature sources provides an idea of the implementation of public control in the public administration system in Ukraine, and also opens up new opportunities for its improvement.

MECHANISMS AND PRINCIPLES OF INTERACTION BETWEEN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION ENTITIES IN CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION

The article defines “public administration” as a set of principles, methods, forms, and means of impact on the activity of a region and a country as a whole. The operation of the mechanisms of interaction between public administration entities in cross-border cooperation is recommended to be categorized by interaction entities in the public domain, which, in turn, are divided by the number of entities, their composition, role, and participation. The article provides the classification of the mechanisms of interaction between public administration entities in the framework of cross-border cooperation: by the coverage with a legal framework that secures interaction, by the coverage with interaction, by the types of cooperation between interaction entities in a border region where a regional authority is the main entity, by the types of cooperation between interaction entities in cross-border region or space where a regional authority is the main entity, by interaction scope, by the results of interaction, by interaction intensity, by the levels of formalization and public administration, by initiative, by cooperation effect in a border region, and by the duration of cooperation. The mechanisms of interaction between public administration entities in a cross-border region or space are suggested to be divided by the features of interaction, coverage (based on the boundaries of cross-border space), activity sectors, the impact of other entities and institutions operating beyond the public domain, etc. The instruments of cross-border cooperation most frequently used by public administration entities at border areas of Ukraine are outlined, including international agreements, border cooperation agreements, Local Border Movement Agreements, Neighborhood Programs, joint cross-border development strategies, regional development strategies with priorities set on cross-border cooperation, regional cross-border cooperation development programs, new cross-border cooperation forms (Euroregions, clusters, industrial zones and parks, etc.), direct contacts – meetings, events, forums, etc. The article specifies the principles of public administration, including structural principles, principles of process, and principles of the final result.

Vocational pre-higher education as an object of public administration

TAXATION AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: EXPERIENCE OF ANCIENT GREECE

The article analyzes the experience of tax policy formation in ancient Athens in connection with the development of public administration in the ancient era. The importance of studying this scientific problem in the context of Ukraineʼs strategic course towards the European Union is emphasized. The article aims to identify problems related to the experience of tax policy in Ancient Greece in connection with the strategy of public administration in ancient Athens. It is noted that the economic relations and tax policy of the ancient Greeks were closely linked to the specificities of citizenʼs social life in ancient Hellas. The concepts of freedom, slavery, and the polis decisively influenced the concept of the tax system implemented in Athens in the 5th – 4th centuries BCE. It is emphasized that various models of tax systems were applied in different historical periods within ancient Attica. During the tyranny of Peisistratos and his successors, a direct 10% tax, unpopular among citizens, was practiced. Later, in the era of democracy, a complex tax system emerged, combining a direct tax on foreigners (metoikion) and an extraordinary war tax (eisphora). At the same time, social duty (liturgia) played a significant role, serving as an alternative to direct taxation of wealthy Athenians and involving voluntary financing of socially significant projects. The effectiveness of eisphora and liturgia was explained primarily by the high level of civic consciousness among the ancient Athenians, who demonstrated readiness to serve the interests of their polis. The article mentions that in addition to direct and targeted taxes, there existed a system of indirect levies in ancient Athens, which were derived from commercial activities, logistic services, property use, etc. An important invention of the Athenians was a tax model that did not involve maintaining a bureaucratic apparatus. This was achieved by contracting tax collection to private contractors through auctions. It is concluded that a successful tax model could be realized thanks to the excellent self-organization of Athenian citizens, high civic consciousness, and the principles of public administration in tax policy.
