FEATURES OF STATE ADMINISTRATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF GLOBALIZATION

The article reveals the concept and content of globalization. It is emphasized that in modern conditions, the concept of «globalization» has entered scientific circulation along with the key categories of modern science and has become the subject of wide discussions. The article is devoted to the peculiarities of state administration under the conditions of globalization. It is indicated that the sphere of public administration is affected by several processes at once – adaptation, transformation and modernization. Adaptation is a forced process of adjustment, adaptation and arrangement of the state administration system of the national state to the qualitatively new processes of globalization. Transformation is a mechanism for reflecting the radical changes that the world and each national system of public administration are undergoing in the context of globalization. Modernization is one of the options for social development, which simultaneously improves and accumulates quantitative and qualitative changes in the state administration system in the context of globalization. These processes are the main basic factors of the transformation of the modern world, according to them the national state and its system of public administration are changing. It is emphasized that the factor of public administration is an indicator of the extent to which the modern national state is able to resist or adapt to the processes of globalization. The main problems of globalization in modern conditions and their impact on the sphere of public administration are revealed. It is emphasized that globalization puts forward new requirements, which should become effective and efficient means of solving complex contradictions that arise in the course of the joint functioning of national states in the world space. The influence of governmental and non-governmental organizations on management processes is shown. It is indicated that the main mechanism of activity of international non-governmental organizations in the period of globalization is the mobilization of the opinion of the world community. It has been proven that at the current stage, globalization leads to a kind of «updating» of the structure of the world, and as a result – corrects national systems of state administration. In addition, it changes the strategies of economic, political and cultural development, creating a complete interdependence of the world, which is the basis of its functioning. The growing rates of interdependence unify and standardize the conditions and factors of the development of individual states, acting as peculiar indicators of determining the level of sustainability of the development of national states.

LEGAL REGULATION OF THE APPLICATION OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IN PUBLIC SERVICE IN UKRAINE

The article analyzes the legal regulation of the use of political correctness in public service in Ukraine under modern conditions. At the beginning of the study, the prerequisites for the emergence and conditions for the implementation of the idea of political correctness are mentioned. The meaning of the concept of «political correctness» is revealed from different angles, taking into account what exactly is included in it and in what context it is used. It is indicated that the use of political correctness in the public service contributes to the establishment of contacts between different categories of persons, the formation of friendly and neutral relations, the strengthening of humanistic attitudes in society and the strengthening of the public's trust in the government (official apparatus). The main part of the article is devoted to the analysis of the normative consolidation of the idea of political correctness in international and domestic legal acts. It is found out, that the provisions of the studied international documents contain norms that indirectly regulate the issue of ensuring political correctness in the sphere of public administration and in other social spheres. There is no clear normative definition of the concept of «political correctness» in their provisions. It is established that the national legislation also does not contain a normative definition of the concept of «political correctness», but only establishes the principles of «discrimination-free barriers». These principles are laid down in Art. 24 of the Constitution of Ukraine. On the basis of the specified constitutional norm, legal acts detailing the application of political correctness in public service in Ukraine were adopted at different time intervals. At the end of the article, it is concluded that political correctness in the modern world is an important element of everyday communication, especially in the field of public administration. Political correctness is a standard of socially permissible and acceptable behavior of public officials when communicating with different groups (age, ethnic, sexual, etc.) of the population with the aim of preventing any oppression or humiliation of human honor and dignity, by using stylistically neutral vocabulary and non-verbal communication.

THE CURRENT STATE OF DIGITAL MARKETING IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The article describes the current state of digital marketing in public administration through the prism of the Ukrainian application “Diia”. The author analyzes how the introduction of digital technologies contributes to improving the quality of public services and improving communication with citizens. It is indicated that the Diia application is a vivid example of the strategic use of digital platforms to provide quick access to services, simplify administrative processes and increase transparency. The article emphasizes that Diia allows users to receive a wide range of services online, including issuing digital documents (passports, driver’s licenses, student cards, birth certificates, etc.), paying taxes, applying for social benefits, and other administrative procedures. Such functions greatly simplify the interaction of citizens with government agencies, allowing them to perform most of the necessary actions without the need to visit physical offices. This helps to improve the efficiency of public service delivery, reduce administrative burden, and increase the level of public trust in government institutions. The application ensures a high level of transparency in government relations, as citizens can easily track the status of their applications and receive up-to-date information on changes in legislation. The article defines the main elements of digital marketing used in public administration. The purpose of the article is to study the current state of digital marketing in public administration. The relevance of the topic is due to the rapid introduction of digital technologies into the public administration sphere, which ensures more effective interaction between the State and citizens. To achieve this goal, the methods of analysis, observation and systematization of information were used. As a result of the study, the main advantages and disadvantages of using digital tools in government agencies were identified on the example of the Diia application. The practical value of the article is to provide recommendations for improving digital platforms to improve the quality of public services and increase their accessibility to all categories of the population.

The current state of electronic signature and ways of its development are presented. An assessment is made of the state project for the mutual recognition of qualified electronic signatures in cross-border transactions. Aspects of the use of electronic document management systems and electronic archive systems are revealed, taking into account their institutionalization, the stages of the formation of electronic signatures and electronic document management are formalized. The current requirements of Russian legislation regarding the regulation of electronic archives are considered. The practice of applying Order 77 of the Federal Archive, which covered not only the sphere of public administration, but also the sphere of commercial organizations, is analyzed. As an example of automation of archival storage of electronic documents, the Russian information system 1C:Archive is considered.

АНГЛІЙСЬКА МОВА В ПУБЛІЧНОМУ УПРАВЛІННІ: СВІТОВА ПРАКТИКА ТА КРОКИ ДО ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКОЇ ІНТЕГРАЦІЇ

The demand for English proficiency is increasing substantially all over the world as the language dominates every walk of life. It has remained one of the working languages of the EU and the Council of Europe, which gives it even greater significance. The purpose of the article is to analyze the experience of incorporating English into the sphere of public administration of foreign countries and review the initiatives directed to supporting the promotion of English as a communication tool of public officials. The article discusses the requirements for English proficiency in the countries’ civil service systems as well as the attempts made to improve English fluency of public officials. It has been discovered that when appointing civil servants, most national governments in Europe require proficiency only in the official (state or national) language, which reflects the EU language policy of multilingualism and multiculturalism. It is highlighted that Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia appear to be the only countries within the EU that oblige their civil servants at the official level to present a certificate or otherwise prove language fluency. The work in the EU bodies presupposes knowledge of one of the working languages of the EU. Asian countries (China, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.) tend to set the knowledge of English for public officials as a prerequisite for appointment more often. Research has demonstrated that the Ukrainian government has made attempts to improve the level of the English language among civil servants since its European integration aspirations, by cooperating with national and international organizations, arranging workshops, professional development courses in English, providing opportunities for joining self-study courses and platforms. Nonetheless, more measures must be taken to motivate, stimulate and encourage the development of civil servants’ English skills.

Digital Transformation in Management Decisions of the Administrative Licensing Procedure in the Russian Federation

One of the forms of realization of public power is managerial decisions that apply to all spheres of public administration. Licensing is the most important administrative procedure. It is aimed at preventing threats and possible damage to economic relations, environmental protection, public health, social relations, defense and security of the state, the potential for which is associated with the implementation of certain types of entrepreneurial activity. This article discusses such a type of management decision, which is aimed at optimizing the management process. Digitalization involves improving and changing the model of the administrative licensing procedure. Special attention is paid to such a digital solution as the implementation of the registry model of a management solution. This made it possible to significantly simplify the administrative licensing procedure, reduce its time, as well as to conduct most of the interaction with the licensing authority remotely. The author notes the positive impact of digital transformation on the management decision-making process in the field of licensing, and also proves that the use of technology has made it possible to increase efficiency and automate most of the management processes in the administrative procedure. In conclusion, the author notes the prospects for the modernization of Russian legislation in the field of licensing and argues for proposals for its improvement.

Prospects for the use of artificial intelligence in civil justice

The article discusses the general prospects for the use of artificial intelligence technology in civil proceedings as a main and auxiliary tool at the current stage of the development of this technology. The main approaches to defining the concept of artificial intelligence were studied and its classification into weak, strong and superintelligence was characterized. It is emphasized that justice is usually administered by professional judges, as high demands are placed on their legal knowledge and life experience. It is argued that equal replacement of a judge in civil proceedings with artificial intelligence technology is currently impossible. The reasons for the impossibility of such a replacement are analyzed, namely the complexity and multifacetedness of controversial private-law relations, the impossibility of taking into account moral and ethical aspects, the need for flexibility in decision-making, the problem of the nature of the initial algorithms of artificial intelligence, the transparency (motivation) of decisions, the problem of determining the guilty party in court cases errors, data protection issue. It is noted that these reasons have a technological and legal basis. A critical assessment of the state’s conceptual approaches to the development of artificial intelligence in the field of justice is provided. The directions of the auxiliary application of artificial intelligence technologies in civil proceedings, which are reduced to the automation of routine tasks, processing and analysis of large volumes of data and evidence, and increasing the accessibility of justice, are considered. It has been proven that the use of artificial intelligence technology provides better opportunities for the participants in the judicial process to realize their rights and obligations, including the processing of large amounts of information. The importance of ensuring a high level of information protection when using artificial intelligence during the administration of justice in civil cases is emphasized. The need for regulatory regulation of the use of artificial intelligence technology in civil proceedings in combination with other spheres of public administration and branches of law is substantiated. It is indicated that the wider application of artificial intelligence in civil proceedings will require new technological solutions and revision of the legal foundations of the judicial branch of government.

Digitalization and the management system of institutions in the sphere of public administration

Subject. The article addresses the management system of institutions in the public administration sector that were transformed into budgetary and autonomous under the organizational and legal reform. Objectives. The purpose is to investigate the influence of digital technologies on the management system of budgetary and autonomous institutions functioning in conditions of granting certain powers for self-regulation and self-sufficiency to the management of these institutions at the third stage of budgetary reform. Methods. The study employs universal methods of scientific knowledge, such as analysis, synthesis, generalization, abstraction, and methods of modeling, induction, and deduction. Results. As a result of granting certain powers, the management of the said institutions is actively introducing digital technologies. At the same time, the chief budget funds managers, to which these institutions are subordinate, restrict their participation only by assessment of performance indicators of the heads of institutions that include indicators for achieving quantitative digitalization results. The heads of budgetary and autonomous institutions, on the one hand, strive to achieve maximum targets, and this requires serious financial costs. On the other hand, they are placed in rather limited financial conditions of self-sufficiency, and, in the absence of freedom to choose sources of funds, they are forced to take austerity measures, as staff redundancy. In these circumstances, the most affected party is the institution's management system, which is actually collapsing. Conclusions. The main managers should develop a unified policy of functioning and development, including digital, for subordinate institutions, based on their provision with material, technical and financial resources. This obligation must be enshrined in law.

ІНТЕГРАЦІЙНІ ПРОЦЕСИ В СФЕРІ ДЕРЖАВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ В УМОВАХ РОСІЙСЬКО-УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ВІЙНИ

The goal of the work. The article examines integration processes in the sphere of public administration in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war. On the basis of the analysis, generalization and systematization of scientific sources, the trends of the development of integration processes in the sphere of public administration in modern conditions are highlighted, the need for further efforts in the direction of European integration is proved. Methodology. To achieve the goal, the article used methods of structuring problems, summarizing statistical data and facts, and developing strategic solutions. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the article is that the author justified the steps aimed at reconstruction and effective mobilization of public administration resources to restore the ability of all levels of government, regions and municipalities of Ukraine to solve problems that bring the state closer to EU membership. In the article, the author highlights those problems that were not solved in the pre-war period of the state's development. In particular, we are talking about the need to optimize the system of state regulation, which should be aimed at promoting economic growth and increasing the level of well-being of citizens, as well as at achieving a new quality of state control, creating a "welfare state." The author proposes his own approach to solving the mentioned problems, which is based on the gradual reform of the public administration system, which should lead to a new quality of administration, bringing it closer to the European system of public management. Conclusions. It was concluded that the innovative transformation of the Ukrainian state, its transformation into a European-type state is impossible without changes in the sphere of public administration. The innovations proposed in the article will give a new impetus to the socio-economic development of Ukraine in the post-war period, creating the necessary conditions for the country's full integration into the EU by improving the public administration system. During the war, all authorities gain important experience in development planning and financing, which can be used in the post-war period to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of strategic decisions related to the rapprochement with the European Union. Nowadays, the executive authorities should build their capacity, analyze and implement the best European experience, try to adopt the style of management and communication, which is inherent in the European public administration practice.

ВЛИЯНИЕ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ИНФОРМАЦИОННЫХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ НА РАЗВИТИЕ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО УПРАВЛЕНИЯ

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

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

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

ПЕТР ИВАНОВИЧ РЫЧКОВ – ПЕРВЫЙ РУССКИЙ БУХГАЛТЕР

The reign of Peter I marked a new stage in the development of accounting in Russia: bookkeeping began to be introduced into the legal state field, as a result of the reception of European accounting techniques, special accounting terminology arose, and in some government institutions a position “accountant” was introduced to maintain account books. Accounting historians have not yet come to a consensus on who should be considered the first Russian accountant. This article proposes to consider the prominent scientist-historian, geographer and economist Pyotr Ivanovich Rychkov (1712–1777) as such a person, describe his life path and provides facts about the professional activities of P.I. Rychkov, which served as the basis for the author’s conclusions. The research was carried out on the basis of archival materials stored in the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the State Archive of the Orenburg Region, the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts, and the Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg. According to the authors, with his literary works, Pyotr Ivanovich Rychkov made a significant contribution to the development of accounting in Russia. His activities were always aimed at streamlining and rationalizing accounting, which corresponded to the general spirit of reforms in the sphere of public administration of the 18th century.

Legal Anomie as a Factor of Uncertainty of the Social Development Goals

Introduction: this study looks at legal anomie through the lens of the achievement of the social development goals and their ambiguous formulation in the current Russian legislation. The goals of social development set for society are constitutional by nature, they are detailed in a large number of laws and subordinate regulatory legal acts. In this field, a critical importance is attached to the system of normative legal regulation of strategic planning, which is understood as a mechanism for ensuring coordinated interaction of different entities aimed at achieving the established goals. The paper gives special attention to the role of the acts of the President of the Russian Federation in determining the directions of social development. Official information regarding quantitative and qualitative indicators of legislative activity in Russia is studied. The achievement of the social development goals is analyzed based on the data from the Federal State Statistics Service. The research identified their correlation with the general goals of the legal system. Purpose: to determine the correlation between the achievement of the strategic planning goals, lawmaking, and other activities, to identify manifestations of anomie in different areas of social relations. Methods: dialectical, axiological, formal legal, statistical, etc. Results: the study has established that for the purpose of eliminating anomie, it is important to ensure legal certainty of the development goals and the presence of full-fledged mechanisms for their achievement. Conclusion: the existing uncertainty of the goals of social development in regulatory legal acts gives rise to the state of legal anomie that can spread to all spheres of public administration and has a negative impact on the achievement of the declared indicators.

Адміністративно-правове гарантування прав та законних інтересів громадян україни у сфері публічного управління в Україні

The article is devoted to the problem of administrative-legal guarantee of the rights and legitimate interests of Ukrainian citizens in the sphere of public administration in Ukraine. Special attention is devoted to the analysis of the rights and legitimate interests of a person in the field of public administration as a subject of administrative and legal guarantees in Ukraine. It has been established that the source of guaranteeing individual rights in the field of public administration is the state. Other institutions of the state acting as subjects of administrative and legal guarantee of the rights of the individual in the field of public administration, broadcasting his will, endowed by the state with special competence, effective means of guaranteeing the rights of the individual. The article analyzes the peculiarities of the combination of public interest and private legitimate interests of individual individuals, the theory of the dualism of private and public interest within the framework of subjective public law, presents an analysis of the category "public legitimate interests", and the structure of subjective public rights. It was found that the category of subjective law in the public legal sphere is wider than the category of subjective public law. Particular attention is paid to the types of subjective public human rights, since their satisfaction is the most important subject of administrative and legal guarantee by the state, in particular through the mechanism of judicial control. Special attention is devoted to the analysis of public-civil, public-political, public-social rights. Positive and negative public, general and special rights in the researched area are singled out. It was noted that the practical implementation of administrative and legal guarantees of individual rights requires the involvement of a wide range of state institutions endowed with the necessary competence to create conditions, implement means aimed at guaranteeing the possibility of implementing individual rights and, if necessary, their protection. The features of guaranteeing the legal rights of a person, the system of such guarantees are characterized. It is emphasized that while guaranteeing a wide range of legal opportunities, the state should focus on developing a clear mechanism for countering the abuse of law in the field of public administration in wartime conditions.

The subject matter of administrative law as a basic category For distinguishing sectoral principles of administrative law

Problem setting. Administrative law as a fundamental branch of public law is a necessary tool in regulating the activities of public administration bodies, public organizations, enterprises, institutions, and organizations. Its influence is constantly felt by specific individuals. Norms of administrative law protect relations formed under the influence of civil, labor, financial and other branches of law. In recent years, administrative law has been in a state of transformation, a new ideology of relations between the state and the citizen is being formed, the administrative legal doctrine is undergoing fundamental changes, and administrative legislation is being updated. As a result, administrative law has turned from the law of state management into a branch that normatively defines and regulates the rights and obligations of public administration in relation to subjects of civil society. Analysis of recent researches and publications. A significant number of scientists dealt with issues of administrative law, its subject, principles, among which it is worth mentioning the works of such scientists as: V. B. Averyanov, Yu. P. Bityak, V. V. Galunko, R. S. Melnyk, A. A. Pukhtetska and others. However, despite the rather large number of works, questions related to the generalization of scientific positions, which highlight the subject of administrative law as a basic category for determining industry precepts, remain in most cases outside the attention of researchers, which makes it possible to talk about the need to carry out such research. The purpose of research is to clarify the role of the subject of administrative law as a basic category for determining the branch principles of administrative law. Article’s main body. The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the subject of administrative law as a fundamental criterion for determining the principles of administrative law. Of fundamental importance for updating the concept of the subject of administrative law were two theoretical conclusions that were made in the development of the ideas of the Concept of Administrative Reform in Ukraine. The transformation of the subject of administrative law is a factor in updating the content and classification of the principles of administrative law. The subject of administrative law is social relations that arise for the purpose of realizing and protecting the rights of citizens, creation of normal conditions for the functioning of civil society and the state. It follows that the main task of administrative law is to create a priority of legal conditions for ensuring by public administration the rights, freedoms and interests of man and citizen in the sphere of public administration. The subject of administrative law is a wide complex of social relations that arise in connection with the implementation of the functions of the state executive power, the content of which is the management of society. Ukraine’s new management model (with adapted principles of Good Governance) should be aimed at maximizing the scope of public participation in governance, ensuring that economic, social and political priorities are based on consensus in such a way that the voices of all citizens, even the poorest and most socially disadvantaged population groups were taken into account when making state decisions. The article emphasizes the fact that principles are the leading category in the administrative law of all continental European countries. The principles reveal the content of law, reveal the essence of law, its foundations, as well as the regularities of social life and needs, and highlight trends. In the theory of law, the principles of law mean the most general and stable requirements that contribute to the establishment and protection of social values, determine the nature of law and the direction of its further development. Conclusions and prospects for development. The principles of law are a natural phenomenon of legal science, which in their essence are universal and reflect modern approaches to their interpretation. In modern conditions, the principles of law have a universal character, as they must be taken into account by law-making subjects during the creation of norms for the legal regulation of social relations. The peculiarities of the subject of administrative law provide grounds for a new approach to updating and characterizing the principles of administrative law resulting from interdependence and influence on each other.

Legal regulation of the digital environment: digitization of the state-legal and law enforcement sphere

The rapid development of society and the impact of information technology have significantly changed the legal field and contributed to the creation of a legal framework for the digital environment. Successful development of digital relations in Ukraine requires effective legislative regulation. The favorable appearance of this process is determined by effective strategic planning, active participation of the government and an appropriate legal framework. From this point of view, it is considered important to consider issues of legal regulation of the digital environment in the context of the activities of state and law enforcement agencies. The purpose of the work is to research the regulatory and legal provision of the digital environment with an emphasis on the regulation of digitalization of state legal and law enforcement activities. Research methodology includes such methods as: historical, systematization, analysis and synthesis, structural-functional and comparative analysis. The result of the scientific analysis of scientific research and regulatory and legal regulation of the relevant relations was the study of the legal plane of digital transformations in Ukraine. Internal legislative norms were studied, relevant laws aimed at digitization were analyzed, their purpose was determined; the existing legislative basis for building a digital society and economy in Ukraine is highlighted. The analysis of strategic documents on digitalization in the spheres of public administration and law enforcement was carried out. The internal concepts of the development of e-government have been studied. The experience of foreign countries in the regulation of the digital environment and electronic management was studied, progressive means of regulation of the studied issues abroad were determined.

ГРАЖДАНСКОЕ ОБЩЕСТВО КАК СОЦИОКУЛЬТУРНЫЙ И ПРАВОВОЙ ФЕНОМЕН

The article is devoted to the consideration of civil society as a socio-cultural and legal phenomenon. The author notes that civil society is a democratic association of free citizens who organize their interests outside the spheres of public administration. In the European Middle Ages there was another important segment of civilizational identity, which, despite its initially quantitative insignificance, became the leading factor in the development of the entire socio-political and legal life. The author comes to the conclusion that the very emergence of civil society was due to its legal certainty. Civil society in its classical form is a very complex phenomenon, it is not only a political, but also a legal phenomenon. Several provisions originating in the European Middle Ages, and operating today, constitute its essence.
