State environmental policy in modern conditions: status and directions of improvement

Problem setting. Given the invasion of Ukraine by the aggressor country, the implementation of the state environmental policy is of particular importance today, and its effective implementation requires the use of effective tools, improvement of current legislation and strategic planning, taking into account the need to intensify European integration and adopt EU best practices in this area. Therefore, the urgent issue now is to identify ways to increase the efficiency of state policy in the environmental sphere, to formulate and optimize the regulatory and legal support for the implementation of state environmental policy. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The issues of implementation of the state environmental policy and the problems of improving the system of public administration of environmental safety have been considered by many scientists. For example, I. I. Samoilova [1] in her scientific works investigated the potential of the public administration system in Ukraine and the issue of its use to ensure environmental safety. Р. S. Kirin and S. V. Hryshchak conducted a comprehensive study of topical issues of ensuring and implementing environmental rights in the strategies of the State environmental policy and security of Ukraine during the wartime period and substantiated that the challenges of the wartime period determine the formation of an appropriate set of legal instruments with the help of which a platform should be built for direct or indirect measures to prevent, protect and restore the environmental rights of citizens violated by armed aggression, including an international mechanism for the restoration of environmental rights. Despite the sufficient number of scientific papers, the chosen research topic requires additional developments due to the need for scientific research on ways to improve the efficiency of state environmental safety and ensure environmentally balanced development of the state. Purpose of research is to study the topical issues of implementation of the State environmental policy in modern conditions and to identify possible areas for its improvement. Article’s main body. In the context of martial law, theoretical and practical issues of effective implementation of the state environmental policy, taking into account the existing processes of deepening the environmental crisis, are gaining particular relevance and new features. Modern processes of greening the world economy based on the concepts of sustainable development, rational use of natural resources and green economy require an effective environmental policy of the world community, with a long-term vision of state changes in accordance with the principles of balanced development laid down in strategic legislative and regulatory documents, but each developed strategy aimed at environmental protection and rational use of natural resources requires a clear mechanism for the implementation of the relevant legislation. That is, the development of relevant strategies requires the implementation of a well-established clear mechanism and consistency with the norms of the current legislation in the field of environmental protection and rational use of natural resources. The provisions of important strategic documents were analyzed, such as: The Basic Principles (Strategy) of the State Environmental Policy of Ukraine until 2030, the National Waste Management Strategy in Ukraine until 2030, and the Strategy for Environmental Security and Climate Change Adaptation until 2030. Some issues of implementation of regional programs on environmental protection, rational use of natural resources and environmental safety are considered. Conclusions and prospects for the development. As a result of the study, it is reasonable to conclude that there are systemic problems in the implementation of the state environmental policy, in particular, the implementation of national and regional strategic priority areas, which require updating the relevant mechanisms for implementing environmental policy, including institutional ones. In addition to the above, it is now necessary to harmonize current legislation with strategic planning documents. That is, the current legislation in the field of environmental security should be correlated with the relevant strategic directions and state programs, which is extremely important in the context of the need to restore the national economy and all components of the country's national security on the way to EU membership.

Features of the functioning of jury courts in the public administration system in Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to examine the jury court as a body of public administration.
 The legal status of the jury trial in the system of public administration in Ukraine is considered. An analysis of the possibility of interpreting the jury court as a public organization was carried out and it was substantiated that the jury does not fall under the status of a public organization. It has been established that the administration of justice in Ukraine is the function of only state bodies to which the jury belongs, as it is part of the judicial system of Ukraine.
 The jury court as a body of state judicial power was considered. It has been proven that the jury has a number of specific features that distinguish state bodies from non-state bodies, in particular, it has been established that the difference between the jury and other bodies of state power is that it does not have a certain permanent composition, and the jury is formed once on the basis of a complex selection mechanism for consideration of a specific case.
 It is justified that the jury court is an institution that controls the distribution of power prerogatives between the branches of power: executive, legislative and judicial. The jury, as the most democratic judicial body, in this case performs a control function, preventing the interference of legislative and executive bodies in the administration of justice, which is not provided for by law.
 The authors conclude that, in carrying out its activities, the jury closely interacts with other bodies of state power: with law enforcement agencies and the prosecutor’s office as bodies that perform the function of the prosecutor’s office, with local self-government bodies as bodies that provide voter lists, with other bodies of judicial power , which control the activity of the jury court.
 It was determined that the jury acts in accordance with the principles of the organization and operation of the state apparatus, which include: legality and constitutionality, the principle of professionalism (regarding professional lawyers) and ethics of civil servants, the optimal structure and functioning of the state body, its effectiveness. These and other principles are reflected in the legal acts regulating the activity of the jury court.

Mechanisms of Public Finance Digitalization and Methods of Implementing in the Public Administration System in Ukraine: European Experience

"Digitalization is no longer an integral part of social relations at the stage of their development. It covers almost all areas of everyday life, and it is now impossible to do without it in some cases. Public finances are no exception since they are also undergoing significant changes in the new realities. The development of information technologies makes it possible to administer many processes in the field of public finance faster and more efficiently, including control over the accumulation and expenditure of funds. The academic paper defines the modern architecture of information systems used in the field of public finance; their general advantages are analyzed, such as: efficiency (speed), data compatibility, cost-effectiveness, convenience, transparency, consistency, reliability, and elimination of duplication. The architecture of information systems and technologies in the field of public finance in the EU and Ukraine is considered. The purpose of the academic paper is to define the structure of applying information technologies to modernize public and municipal financial management. The bibliographical research, both descriptive and analytical, was the main research method. The conclusion has been made in the present scientific work that there is a need for further digitalization of the above-mentioned sphere in Ukraine. In particular, it is proposed to develop the concept of e-government by fully digitalizing society, ensuring transparency and openness, reporting to citizens for public funds, and implementing feedback from them. At the same time, it is necessary to continue involving citizens in public finance management through feedback, voting and platform solutions. The development of national public finance management systems based on adopting the EU standards through applying information technologies represents a potential area for further studies."

Features of the initial stage of digitalization of the executive authority of Ukraine: historical and legal overview

The article is devoted to the historical and legal analysis of the specifics of the process of primary digitization of the executive power in modernization in modern Ukraine (1993–2003), highlighting the main legal patterns of such a process. It is shown that the digitalization of the executive power has become a component of the only, in fact, process of digitalization of the public administration system in Ukraine, which covered all spheres, levels and segments of the functioning of state authorities and their interaction with citizens and society as a whole. Being a legal process, such digitization naturally required proper legal regulation both at the stage of introducing innovations regarding the use of ICT in the field of organization and activities of the executive power, and at the stage of implementing these innovations. The early stage of digitalization became the stage of informatization of the executive power in the context of the constitutional and legislative institutionalization of the executive power, when only the first legal steps regarding the initial digitalization in the context of the informatization of public administration were outlined. It is highlighted that this process continued within the stage of primary digitalization (1993–2003) without a clear conceptual vision of its political and legal essence, specificity and purpose of digitalization of the executive power, and its deployment in these conditions coincided in time with the unfinished institutionalization of the system of executive power bodies in Ukraine, which was determined first by the incompleteness of the constitutional process and the conceptual ambiguity of the constitutional model of the executive power system institutionalized in Ukraine (until 1996), and later by attempts to combine the digitalization of the executive power with attempts to reform it within the framework of the administrative reform paradigm (since 1998). It has been found that the key directions of digitalization of the executive power within this stage were the following: creation of the primary legal basis of digitalization; legitimization of informatization of state administration as one of the key functions of executive authorities; creation of the National Agency for Informatization under the President of Ukraine as an institutional center for the primary digitization of the executive power; legitimization of mandatory publication on the Internet of information about the activities of executive authorities; ensuring the functioning of websites of executive authorities of all levels on the basis of uniform standards, their unification and standardization; introduction of the Unified web portal of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, intended for the integration of official websites of executive authorities and placement of information resources in accordance with the needs of citizens; ensuring the coordination of work to ensure the functioning of the Unified web portal, its information content, technical support, support and establishment of regulations and standards for information exchange between its constituent parts; monitoring compliance with information protection requirements in information and telecommunication systems that ensure the content and functioning of official websites (web portals) of executive authorities and the Unified web portal; outline as a prospective task of the transition to a paperless (electronic) form of document circulation in the bodies of executive power.

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.

Розробка напрямів забезпечення дієвості публічного управління як основи соціально-економічного розвитку України

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the leading directions of ensuring the effectiveness of public administration in Ukraine, which will allow achieving sustainable socioeconomic development of the country and ensuring the provision of quality services to its population. The importance of effective activity of public authorities to ensure the stable operation of the system of public management and administration in the context of reforms and martial law in Ukraine is proved. The author, on the basis of a thorough study of the quality of service provision to citizens, an evaluation of the efficiency of the work of government bodies, as well as in face of the need to increase the level of professional competence of their staff, identified a significant number of unresolved issues and novel problems in the activities of public authorities that have worsened in the process of implementing reforms in Ukraine. Based on the assessment of the answers of respondents from different regions of Ukraine regarding the level of performance of tasks in the main areas of responsibilities of public authorities, in the course of an online telephone survey areas in which difficulties often arise and areas where solving these difficulties is problematic are identified as follows: the provision of administrative services, human resource management, and human resource management policies. The analysis of factors that influence the increase in the efficiency of public authorities made it possible to identify the main directions of improving their activities: increasing the level of competence of the staff of public authorities and introducing new procedures in the activities of public authorities, in particular quality management systems in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001: 2015. It is substantiated that the introduction of a quality management system into the overall management system of public authorities will allow to most fully meet the requirements of citizens for the provision of services and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of government bodies. It is revealed that the use of trainings has a positive effect on increasing the level of professional competence of government personnel and on the efficiency and effectiveness of public authorities in general. Therefore, in order to ensure the efficient and effective activities of public authorities and increase the effectiveness of team interaction between the staff of these bodies, it is proposed to conduct team-building trainings using modern information technologies. Conducting these trainings will improve the skills of teamwork of public authorities to provide quality services to citizens, create a positive socio-psychological climate in the team and, as a result, ensure the improvement of the activities of public authorities. The proposed directions will ensure an increase in the effectiveness of the public administration system in Ukraine and will allow achieving sustainable socioeconomic development of the country and providing quality services to its population.

Implementation of the customs policy of Ukraine amid improvement of its regulatory and legal support

THE LAW OF PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION IN THE COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION: EXPERIENCE OF GERMANY AND ECONOMIC AND LEGAL DIMENSION OF ITS CREATION IN UKRAINE

The subject of the study. A new public administration system in Ukraine should be created through administrative reform. The existing system of public administration in Ukraine remains generally inefficient, with an eclectic mix of institutions inherited from the Soviet era and new institutions formed during Ukraine's independence. It is argued that the rapid development of modern social relations naturally causes and is conditioned by the continuous transformation and progress of various sectors of public and state life. Scientific and technological progress, informatization and updating of production methods cause an objective need to revise and adopt fundamentally new legislation, study and implement advanced forms of organization of social relations. It is clear that the construction industry is a component of the national economy, which requires meaningful legal regulation, does not stay away from modern social and state development. The complexity and significance of the construction industry, its multifaceted nature require, in particular, the study and implementation of perfect regulatory mechanisms developed by developed countries with highly developed economies, strong and perfect standards of functioning of the state apparatus, legislation. Methodology. The national construction legislation was reviewed in comparison with the experience of the Federal Republic of Germany. It is concluded that the review of the institutional architecture of the construction industry of the Federal Republic of Germany, the basic principles of the formation of German public construction law as a factor of the modern economy, its progressive forms and methods has been carried out. The content of this branch of public law, its impact on economic processes in the state, the formation and change of the main economic indicators are assessed. The conclusion is made about the objective connection between the state and development of national legislation, in particular construction legislation, and the degree of economic development of the state. The purpose of the study. By choosing the strategic path of institutional and fundamental reforms, Ukraine also implements the best legal and state experience of modern progressive states with developed democracy, state-building and law-making, developed economy. In the field of law and law-making, improvement of legal education and science the experience of the Federal Republic of Germany has proved its perfection, efficiency and progressiveness for Ukraine. German public construction law is not the only area that has become a model for domestic public law and legislation, in particular, it is worth mentioning the German experience of administrative procedure law and legislation, which was used in the adoption of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine, and administrative procedure law and legislation, which was the basis for the preparation of the Law of Ukraine "On Administrative Procedure". Thus, the time-tested and experienced German administrative and legal theory has become one of the prerequisites for the creation and development of national branches of public law, including the law of public construction. The economic and legal dimension of public construction law in Ukraine is that the construction industry is a productive sector of the economy, the efficiency and successful functioning of which depends on a simultaneous set of factors, including, in particular, the availability and completeness of national construction and administrative and procedural legislation, the development of the theory of public construction law, transparency and validity of the activities of administrative bodies in the field of construction. Conclusion of study. It is concluded that the new branch of national special administrative law – publicc construction law of Ukraine is manifested in three dimensions: the substantive dimension of national public construction law and the prerequisites for its formation and further development; European (foreign) experience of legal regulation of public construction; economic and legal dimension of its creation in Ukraine.

ШЛЯХ УКРАЇНИ ДО ЄС: РЕФОРМУВАННЯ ДЕРЖАВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ

The article reveals the peculiarities of reforming the sphere of public administration on the way to European integration. On June 23, 2022, the heads of 27 EU member states and their governments decided to grant Ukraine the status of a candidate for the EU. It was revealed that against the background of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the process of European integration of Ukraine acquires a new meaning, its active stage involves the adoption of relevant decisions and the adoption of relevant regulatory and legal acts. It was determined that corruption schemes in the sphere of public administration have a lot of destructive consequences in the socio-economic sphere, therefore, taking into account such aspects, a plan for reforming the sphere of public administration in the direction of the European integration of Ukraine was developed. In order to build an effective public administration system in Ukraine, it is envisaged to implement work in four directions: parliamentary reform, reforming central executive bodies and approximation to EU governance standards, reform in the system of local executive bodies, reform in the field of local self-government. It is believed that an important direction of European integration should be the creation of a system of state support (state + business) for institutions of civil society, with the aim of including them on a competitive basis in the preparation of proposals (participation in development) in the field of public administration and their legislative support. On the path of Ukraine's European integration, it is also envisaged to continue reforming the management of state-owned enterprises in order to control state assets more deeply. On the way to European integration, our country will have to introduce and adopt a sufficient number of changes, but given the way Ukraine defends its independence, there are good reasons to claim that Ukraine is a truly worthy candidate for EU membership. It should be emphasized that due to the circumstances that have developed in general, Ukraine has the opportunity to quickly join the EU within the framework of existing procedures. However, it should not be forgotten that the EU may decide to create a special regime to speed up the accession process. This will bring Ukraine closer to the completion of formal accession to the European Union, but not to the final completion of European integration, which is connected with the fact that in order to fully comply with the standards of the European Union, a number of reforms need to be carried out, among which the reform of public administration in the context of ensuring economic growth takes a decisive place of Ukraine.

ENSURING FINANCIAL SELF-SUFFICIENCE OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES: EXPERIENCE OF EU COUNTRIES

Introduction. The change of the administrative-territorial system at the basic level and the reform of the public administration system in Ukraine in 2014–2020 took place on the basis of the experience of the EU countries regarding the decentralization of administrative and financial powers in favor of local self-government. Today, the first stage of reform has already been com­pleted, because territorial communities as the basic units of the administrative-territorial system have been formed throughout the territory of Ukraine, as well as redistribution of spending powers and revenue sources between different levels of management. Accordingly, the issue of ensuring financial self-sufficiency of territorial communities for the long term is being updated. Decentralization in European countries took place in different periods, and therefore, the tasks that today face the Ukrainian state and local self-government in particular, these countries have already solved with one or another measure of efficiency, which makes it possible to talk about the possibility of adapting the acquired experience to domestic realities. The purpose of the article is to study European practices of ensuring financial self-suffi­ciency of basic administrative and territorial formations for the further implementation of the most effective practices in domestic realities. Results. The practice of developing the public finance system on the basis of decentral­ization in the EU countries was studied, the difference between the levels of decentralization of territorial communities in different countries and the tendency to exceed the level of decen­tralization of expenses over the level of income decentralization was revealed. Emphasis is placed on the key principles of ensuring financial self-sufficiency of territorial communities in the European Charter of Local Self-Government. The existence of a financial "cushion" for territo­rial communities in the form of distributed resources from supranational funds is substantiated. Given the lack of such a mechanism in Ukraine, the need to study European practices for accu­mulating sufficient financial resources for community development is argued, including taxes on economic activity (personal income tax, corporate income tax, local business tax, property taxes on commercial real estate and land) and local borrowing.

Стратегічне планування розвитку об’єднаної територіальної громади: організаційно-правові механізми

The article reveals the organizational and legal mechanisms of strategic planning for the development of the united territorial community (OTG) in Ukraine in the current conditions of further reform of the public administration system in Ukraine and decentralization of power. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the organizational and legal mechanisms (methods and tools) of strategic planning OTG and theoretical definition of regional and local development as a process of consistent and sustainable change in the subregional environment in the context of modernization of Ukraine's own development management system and a new stage of existence. The scientific novelty lies in the theoretical substantiation of the content and conceptual approaches to the process of strategic planning of OTG development in Ukraine and the formation of organizational and legal mechanisms of their activities when communities enter a new stage of their existence. Conclusions. It is established that strategic planning of OTG development should be understood as a special type of planning activity, which consists in the development of strategic decisions (in the form of forecasts, projects, programs and plans), which provide for the establishment of such goals, objectives and strategies of OTG development. Long-term operation and rapid adaptation to ever-changing environmental conditions. At the present stage of development, local authorities face a large number of complex, acute problems, on which the real formation and functioning of OTG depends. Addressing all current development issues requires a lot of management resources, leaving no room for the involvement of specialists in strategic community development. This leads to the accumulation of problems, does not create a ground for qualitative changes and loses the competitive advantages of territories and individual OTG. In such a situation, when local executive bodies and local self-government bodies make administrative decisions independently, the development of territories becomes, first of all, a matter of the territorial community itself. This determines the need and prospects for the introduction of effective strategic planning at the level of OTG, precisely in the conditions that exist today in Ukraine. It was found that strategic planning as a function of management is an attempt to take into account in advance, if possible, all internal and external factors that provide favorable conditions for the proper functioning and development of the object of management. Planning - is to determine the parameters of the management process based on the comparison of information about the needs of the environment in the results of activities and its capabilities, taking into account the development of the entity, aimed at achieving the goal, and the plan - is a quantitative reflection of goals and develop ways to achievement. The objective state and nature of strategic planning of OTG in Ukraine as a component of public administration in countries with developed market relations, the work of domestic and foreign scientists on the problems of strategic planning of OTG development are analyzed, it is established that the optimal combination of strategic planning and public management socio-economic potential of regions and subregions.

Modern National Development in the Context оf Improving the Activities of Government

The development of the public administration system in Ukraine is taking place in conditions of dynamic changes. Therewith, the rapid pace of innovative socio-political changes proposed by powerful political players in the modern world and domestic representatives of the local authorities, challenges the ability of people to adapt to new social circumstances. Given the urgency of improving the quality of public administration, there is a need to create an effective civil service. The study defines the theoretical and methodological principles of modern national development towards its improvement and the functioning of public authorities. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the essence of modern national development to improve the functioning of public authorities, the conditionality of socio-political, technological development of the country, the role of decentralisation in management. The study addresses issues related to the updating of the content of public service activities in the context of interaction between government and society. The task of the civil service is to implement a purposeful public policy. Unfortunately, in the current era, its implementation in practice may face certain difficulties. The study analyses the current state of modernisation of society and the governing bodies and provides recommendations for improving the mechanisms of decentralisation of power by civil service personnel. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the relevant issue of the modern Ukraine lies with the improvement of the legal regulation of the civil service in the context that the bureaucratisation of professional activities reduces the quality of the management process

 Висновки. Таким чином, концептуальні засади формування сталого розвитку в системі державного управління в Україні в рамках проведення реформи державного управління передбачають забезпечення сталого розвитку як результат реалізації схваленої Урядом Стратегії реформування державного управління на період до 2021 року. Це, своєю чергою, є реакцією на зовнішні чинники впливу, зокрема на рішення Генеральної Асамблеї ООН щодо нової програми в галузі сталого розвитку «Трансформація нашого світу: Порядок денний сталого розвитку на 2030 рік», яка включає 17 цілей і 169 відповідних завдань. Для України ці цілі і відповідні завдання є обов’язковими для виконання в рамках взятих зобов’язань, що передбачає внесення змін до організаційно-правового механізму державного управління.

The purpose of this article is to establish possible ways to increase effectiveness of interaction between civil society institutions and public administration subjects in Ukraine through the use of international experience; determination of a unified concept of management humanization and democratization and proposal of specific recommendations for reforming the existing public administration system in Ukraine. The article may be useful for relevant public administration subjects while creating a mechanism for a public administration system and, in particular, for involving citizens, since it is part of government strategies and development programs. It can also be useful for researchers of social and legal processes related to civil society development. Forms of participation of civil society institutions in public administration as a systemic tool of democratization processes in Ukraine are explored for the first time herein. In general, the forms of civil society institutions’ participation in public administration include the following: public consultations on state policy development and implementation, establishment and functioning of public (expert) councils in activities of public administration subjects; public examination of the activities of government bodies, anticorruption public examination of the activities of public administration subjects; ensuring the possibility for citizens’ electronic petitions to public administration subjects; ensuring the possibility for citizens to communicate with public administration subjects through call centers, “hotlines”, online and other electronic communication. For consistent coverage of the issue, substantial parts are allocated which characterize a homogeneous group of social relations in terms of determining the civil society’s participation in public administration, namely: institutional and legal, social and economic principles for the participation of civil society institutions in public administration, international standards in involvement of civil society institutions into public administration. Author noted, that on the way of implementing international and European standards of government, Ukraine is taking progressive steps towards reforming the outdated model of government and harmonizing it with the best practices in the world.
