The subject of research is the theoretical, methodological foundations and practical aspects of public administration.

Norms of International and Financial Law: General Features and Problems in the Context of Sustainable Development (Aspects of Public Administration)

The rules of financial law in connection with the worldwide spread of sustainable development concept apply to the social and environmental aspects of the operation of companies. EU legislation provides for accountability of organizations for the management of social and environmental challenges. This study aims to highlight the common features and issues of financial law at the international and national levels on the example of companies with international investment. Results of the research. The study highlights how companies with international investment in Ukraine ensure compliance with financial law and how this practice generally affects business strategy, business model, social behavior, and environmental protection. The common features of the norms of international and financial law within the EU are determined due to the adaptation and policy of integration of the norms into the national legal framework. Member States have adapted the new provisions of Directive 2014/95/EU, companies make public social and environmental operations following the new requirements. The implementation of financial law standards provides the company with several advantages. CSR reporting may not be in line with the actual business focus on environmental sustainability, as it stems from the voluntary nature of this type of reporting, which is contained not only in the law of Directive 2014/95/EU but also in the reporting of Italian, Spanish, Ukrainian companies. Sustainability reports do not guarantee effective management practices for the company's environmental and environmental issues. The theoretical value of this study lies in complementing the concept of social responsibility: the concept of social responsibility applies to reporting to investors, not society, helping to create business value and increase investment opportunities and maintain profitability.

Instrumental aspects of public administration

The article is devoted to the instrumental aspects of public administration The essence of the instrumental approach in law is investigated, in which the legal norm is considered as the subject of socialization of an individual who seeks to adapt to the requirements of the social environment, while satisfying his needs. Attention is focused on the fact that the instrumental theory of law assumes that needs, interests and other intentions are first recognized and grouped depending on the degree of expression and presence in society. In this context, public administration can be viewed as a tool for achieving the goals of the state.
 In terms of their content, public administration activities are always law enforcement, unlike, for example, law-making and the administration of justice. Although the rule-making element is present in public administration, it is not an end in itself, a secondary, auxiliary character, since the primary source of the legal status and features of the functioning of public administration is in any case the law.
 The stages of public administration, which, in our opinion, can be described as follows. First, it is the definition at the constitutional level of the basic principles of interaction between a person and the state, the functioning of public authorities, human and civil rights and freedoms. Secondly, this is the development of laws, where the specified legal categories find their development, in accordance with the specified laws, public authorities, the legal status of which is provided for at the legislative level, receive their legal status. Thirdly, this is the preparation of a set of by-laws, providing for the creation of public administrations, which have the source of their formation is a by-law, for example, this applies to ministries and other central executive bodies. Fourthly, this is the stage of formation of public administrations operating on the basis of bylaws and the definition of plans for their activities. Fifth, this is, in fact, the very functioning of the public administration, depending on the goals and objectives, as well as plans that were identified at the previous stages. Sixth, this is the stage of control over the activities of the public administration, carried out both at the national and at the interdepartmental, departmental level, as self-control of the public administration, as well as public control (supervision) over its activities.
 The conclusion was made that public administration as a legal instrument is a legal way to ensure the needs, interests and other intentions of individuals and legal entities by legislative and subordinate consolidation of the status of public administrations, their formation and recruitment, setting goals and planning their activities, direct enforcement and control different levels for its implementation.

The role of government in Singapore’s economic development

This article discusses some theoretical conceptual aspects of public administration in Singapore. Compared to other fast-growing Asian economies, the way the Singapore government intervenes in the economy is both large and intrusive, but less attention is paid to GDP growth and surplus accumulation as the main goals. The ruling government’s complete dominance in politics allowed it to mobilize resources to create prerequisites for strong GDP growth and high savings. This article analyzes how government intervention affects the evolution of Singapore’s economy, as well as its successes and failures. It is shown how a pragmatic approach helped overcome the difficulties faced by Singapore at the initial stage of economic development. The article scientifically explains how a pragmatic approach was used to restructure the economy in the early 2000s, so that innovation took a central place as a driving force for growth. The content of the article also discusses the problems that led to a pragmatic approach to managing a growth-oriented economy, and what this means for the future of the economy. Key words: Singapore, government, public administration, economic development, development model.

Program-target project as the most important aspect of public administration

The article is devoted to the analysis of the possibilities of developing targeted programs and projects. The interrelation of the program-target management method with other management methods and its implementation at the regional level has been analyzed. When preparing targeted programs and projects, methodological errors are often made. In particular, the goal of solving the problem and the requirements for achieving it are not specifically formulated. This significantly complicates the assessment of the compliance of existing projects and program objectives, and also interferes with an objective perception of the current state of the solution to the problem. It is for this purpose that recommendations for further research have been provided.

Accountability of the Minahasa Regency Regional General Election Administration (KPUD) (Study on the 2018 Minahasa Regency Head Election)

This study aims to analyze the accountability of the general election administration in the Minahasa Regency. This research uses qualitative methods, direct research to data sources and researchers are the key instruments. Qualitative research emphasizes the process of searching for the meaning behind the phenomena that arise in research with the aim that the problems studied are more in-depth, natural, and as they are without interference from researchers. From the results of the study, it was found that accountability is an ethical concept that is close to government public administration (government executive institutions, parliamentary legislative institutions, and judicial institutions) this is often used synonymously with concepts such as accountability, the ability to provide answers (answerability) that can be blamed (blameworthiness) and which have liability, including other terms that have no connection with the hope of being able to explain part of one aspect of public administration. The technical guidance received by PPS and KPPS is just a matter of election procedures. Submission of other information to voters is still carried out directly by the KPU and its implementation is not too optimal and not yet accountable, where the limitations of KPU members are not good in quantity. Then for suggestions to make it even better, it is recommended that the implementation of the Regional Election for the Regional Head Election of the Minahasa Regency KPUD should be more accountable from the preparation stage to the announcement stage of the Pilkada winner.

Institutional Field of National Development of Culture and Arts in Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to give a review of the current environment of management and the development of culture and arts in the system of cultural and creative industries in Ukraine. The methodology of research is the application of the descriptive method and definitive analysis, functional analysis, formal characterization in the process of research regarding the national field of management and development of culture and arts segment in Ukraine. The scientific novelty is the analysis of the institutional field of national development of culture and arts in Ukraine. The scientific novelty is an analysis of the institutional field of development of national culture and art in the aspects of public administration, institutions of higher education (HEI) in the indicated areas, and government mass media channels. Conclusions: Effective organization of national management of institutional field development of national forms of cultural and art interaction – that is the Ukrainian cultural need in the process of its civilizational development. The main aspects of development and support of culture and arts from the government institutions side, in our opinion, are coordination of means of the government management system in the cultural and arts industry, institutions of higher education in culture and arts industries, and mass media broadcasting channels, which are owned by the government. National artistic, cultural-and-artistic, artistic-and-technological, scientific, educational, cultural and intellectual-and-creative capable part of a human capital asset (involved in the systems of the national arts and creative production, including government management organizations in the field of cultural and creative industries) must support the organization of national arts and cultural platforms of interaction based on communicative cooperation of groups of arts and cultural production, as well as comprehensive rebroadcasting of the best-produced products by unions of arts and cultural production by informative, mass media, arts, educational governmental means (tangible and intangible). The country should unite the efforts of specialists in this sector in the field of institutional communication of cultural-and-arts interaction, should support the formation of bases for the practical production of the national arts and cultural production of all branches of the sector of cultural and creative industries of Ukraine.

PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF MARITIME ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE: PROBLEMS AND DECISIONS

The article characterizes the current state and problematic aspects of public administration of maritime and related port activities in Ukraine. The urgency of the issue is due to the ongoing crisis in the legal and administrative regulation of these areas. The aim of the article is to establish optimal models and tools for constructing a new system of public administration of the maritime industry, taking into account international standards and best practices. The methodological basis of the research is formed by a system of general scientific and special legal methods of scientific research (historical, analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction and forecasting). The article draws special attention to the fact that the declared revival and maintenance of the status of Ukraine as a maritime state, the development of its maritime trade and naval potential can not occur only due to situational changes in response to crisis events or to accelerate the decision of problems which have not been resolved for decades. Here, a different, systemic approach to both legal regulation and the practice of implementing the adopted legal norms should be introduced, a new approach to public administration of the entire industry. The author classifies measures to overcome the port crisis in Ukraine into financial, infrastructural and operational ones. It is proposed to repurpose the legal regulation and law enforcement practices to support public sector entities and seafarers-citizens of Ukraine, as well as to simplify formalities in the ports of Ukraine. The relevance of the concepts of anthropocentrism, service state and “good governance”, taking into account risk management systems at all levels for the modernization of public administration of maritime and port activities in Ukraine, is emphasized. The priority is to analyze the steps taken and systematically update the current maritime and port legislation using a “package” approach to its development. This approach enables to ensure that the interests of most maritime and port stakeholders and the state are taken into account and balanced.

The Mechanisms of the Public Administration in the Field of Tourism in Ukraine

The author emphasizes the importance of effective public administration of the tourism industry in modern conditions. The expediency of developing measures to increase the effectiveness of state regulation of tourism at different levels is noted. The definition of the concepts «mechanism of state regulation of the market of tourist services» and «regulation and management of the tourist industry» is characterized. The key aspects of public administration in the field of tourism are revealed. The institutions of state regulation by the levels of public administration decisions are considered. Financial, marketing tools and communication technologies are singled out. The content of the tools for implementing the mechanisms of public administration in the field of tourism in Ukraine is graphically presented. On the basis of the conducted theoretical research, three mechanisms of public administration in the field of tourism are identified, that is, administrative, legal, economic and organizational; means of their implementation, support and tools for the development of the tourism industry are identified. The need to determine the structure of the mechanism of public administration by clarifying its purpose is emphasized. The main purpose of the mechanism of state management of the tourism industry is outlined and the measures necessary for its implementation are determined. The methods of public administration of the tourism industry, which are implemented through certain forms, are described. The role of the Strategy for the development of tourism and resorts for the period up to 2026 in the implementation of the economic mechanism of state management of the tourism industry is determined. The research methods used are classification, elucidation of causal relationships, systematization, analysis of documentation and results of researchers on the problem of the study. Theoretical and practical value of the work lies in the availability of theoretical material on the study, eliminated among other things in the process of finding information on the topic, and in the systematization of the material of the research direction. The study has a deeper degree of analysis of the research area, based on previous research by scientists, dissertators and researchers.

La empresa pública en primer plano: una revisión de la nueva agenda de investigación en Europa y América Latina

Despite the inescapable relevance of public enterprises in the world's economies, the researchers who have devoted themselves to their study coincide in pointing out a historiographic and conceptual void around the subject and stress the importance of promoting research that will allow the accumulation of a considerable base of empirical studies to overcome generic interpretations and develop specific bodies of theory. In this sense, considering the aforementioned vacancy and the relating degree of dispersion in the contributions, this article proposes to comprehensively review the emergence of a recent and prolific research agenda, particularly located in Europe and Latin America, with substantial findings for the study of public enterprises and whose systematization allows identifying common aspects that, so far, have been disarticulated. Among the main conclusions is the origin of public enterprises with the emergence of the Nation-States stands out. This is central to an assessment of privatizations, because the projects that defended market solutions were based on the false postulate that state-owned enterprises originate and grow only with the left-wing or interventionist governments. In addition, they provide empirical evidence that shows there is no strict coincidence between political cycles and the evolution of the growth of firms; on the contrary, their development responds to very heterogeneous factors. Based on this “ideological stigma” attached to public enterprises, a series of myths about their supposedly inefficient operation are sustained. However, the studies examined show that ownership is just one more element within the multiplicity of factors involved in business performance and highlight central aspects of public administration, such as governance, state capacities, or what that some authors call entrepreneurship, although these are still open debates, the nuances of which are systematized throughout the work. These approaches are linked to analyses of the new formats of the 21st century, very different from the traditional state monopoly, in which public and private capital appear combined and competing in liberalized international markets.

СУЧАСНИЙ СТАН НАУКОВИХ РОЗРОБОК ЩОДО ПУБЛІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ ПРОТИДІЄЮ РЕЙДЕРСТВУ

The content of dissertations and professional publications dedicated to counteracting corporate raiding has been analysed. The insufficiently elaborated aspects of public administration of counteraction to corporate raiding are highlighted as the subject of proprietary dissertation research. An important prerequisite for the development of a national economy is the strengthening of its resource potential, which in turn is subject to additional investments. However, the interest in these processes does not only depend directly on the profitability of a certain type of business but also the protection of assets from raiders. Despite the government’s promises and initiatives of the members of parliament, to this day, the general public occasionally receives information about an attempted raider takeover of a “stand-by” enterprise. This disappointing situation originates from shortcomings in the activities of the public authorities as well as potentially a lack of proper scientific justification of the counter-raiding mechanisms. All the above-mentioned determines the relevance of the given research. The problem of counteraction to corporate raiding has become a cornerstone in a number of dissertation studies and scientific publications by representatives of various fields of knowledge: 05 Social and behavioural sciences, 07 Management and administration, 08 Law, 28 Public administration and management, etc. In spite of this, there is still a lack of comprehensive research on the subject. The article aims to review the current state of scientific developments in the public administration of counter-raiding. The achievement of this goal entails the following tasks: 1) to analyse the content of dissertations and professional publications devoted to counteracting corporate raiding; 2) to highlight the underdeveloped aspects of public administration of counteracting corporate raiding as the subject of proprietary dissertation research. The starting point is dissertation research and professional publications of leading scientists who have investigated the peculiarities of counter-raiding. A comprehensive approach was used that involved the following empirical and theoretical methods: abstract-logical – for theoretical generalisations and the formation of conclusions; analysis and synthesis – to determine the factors affecting the nature and direction of public administration; comparative analysis – to study the developments of leading domestic scientists focused on the features of public administration to counteract corporate raiding. Domestic scholars have mainly focused on the following: clarifying the meaning of the concept of “raiding”; systematising the types of raiding; investigating the nature and root causes of raiding; assessing the risk of raiding; characterising the individual features of the stages of raiding; systematising the mechanisms (methods, means) of raiding; considering the dynamics of the spread of raiding; describing the impact of raiding on the national economy as a whole, its individual sectors / areas, markets and enterprises; identification of problems that reduce the effectiveness of counter-raiding; development of the concept of corporate raid prevention; highlighting the best international practices of corporate raid prevention; development of recommendations to minimise the risk of raider seizure and methods of protection against raiders; the need to improve individual mechanisms to combat raiding. Continued scientific research on this topic will contribute to improving the protection of business entities from raider attacks, including by improving the methodological basis for public administration in this area.

Two-Way Risk Communication, Public Value Consensus, and Citizens’ Policy Compliance Willingness About COVID-19: Multilevel Analysis Based on a Nudge View

COVID-19 has spawned a surge in the number of public epidemic prevention policies. More important than active policy-making is how to increase citizens’ policy compliance willingness. Based on public value theory and nudge theory, this study adopts a multilevel mediation and moderation model to analyze the relationships among the government’s authoritarian control, two-way risk communication, public value consensus, nudge, and citizens’ policy compliance willingness. A sample of 2,616 citizens nested in 86 Chinese cities was collected. The study found that (a) local governments can improve citizens’ policy compliance willingness by adopting both “stick” (authoritarian control) and “sermon” (two-way risk communication) policies, whereas two-way risk communication demonstrates a uniquely positive effect on public value consensus; and (b) the effect of two-way risk communication on policy compliance willingness is mediated by public value consensus. By enhancing public value consensus, two-way risk communication helps establish consensus between citizens and the government on “what needs/needs not to be done” and “what should/should not be done” to slow down the pandemic, thus coalescing efforts in a cooperative spirit; (c) nudge intervention positively moderates the effect of two-way risk communication on public value consensus, but has no effect on the authoritarian control–policy compliance willingness relationship. In other words, nudge intervention is a better companion to “sermons,” not “sticks.” Findings of the nuanced relationship manifested the differentiated effect of authoritarian control and two-way risk communication on citizens’ policy compliance willingness during a pandemic. The results provide theoretical implications for scholars to unlock the “black box” of public values and practical implications for strategies from behavioral public administration aspects to curb the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Historical aspects of public administration in education of Ukraine

The article covers the historical aspects of public administration in education ofUkraine. The process of transition to another form of education administration was difficult and extended, as there was no experience, conditions and challenging socio-political situation in the country complicated the process. The powers of public self-government bodies are defined by special laws and constituent documents. The combination of state and public administration in education creates public administration that proclaims the priority of the state with the obligatory consideration of public opinion.

СУТНІСТЬ АНТИКРИЗОВОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ ТА ПРИНЦИПИ ЙОГО ЗДІЙСНЕННЯ

The article considers the issues of that arise in systems of various kinds, primarily in the social systems to which the state belongs. Therefore, in the conditions of constant transformations of the socio-political system of Ukraine, the process of development and use of effective methods and forms of anti-crisis measures is relevant. Any social system operates under conditions of certain risk and uncertainty. Under conditions of instability of internal and external conditions, the levels of risk factors and uncertainty increase and the activity of this system may be ineffective and cause a new crisis. Since the state is also a social system, crises at the national level can occur in any country at any stage of its development and be caused by both external and internal conditions. The state's efforts in should focus on finding ways to maximize the preservation and use of existing scientific and technological potential, human capital, and social support for reforms. The purpose of this article is to explore and analyze the concept of crisis management and to define its basic principles in terms of public administration. The article analyzes various definitions of crisis as well as considers the stages of the life cycle of design, implementation and of complex systems in terms of and various aspects of public administration. The state, as a social system, is also experiencing cyclical development and decline, so the process of managing the social system (state) must always be anti-crisis. The process of is consciously built on the criteria of rationality, use of resources, maximum efficiency, time savings. The main task of is to identify in time, quickly work out possible options for action, choose the best option and effectively implement it in the system, preventing the accumulation of critical crises. Therefore, the most justified is the systematic and comprehensive use of available tools of with the restrictions imposed by the current situation, regulatory support and resource constraints. At the same time, the possibilities for the application of one or another tool of public administration (regulation) depend on the type of economic system, which is taken as the basis for building a social system (state). Key words: cyclical development and crises, social system, state, anti-crisis management, mechanisms and tools of anti-crisis management.
