Recent extreme hydrological events (e.g., in the United States in 2005 or 2012, Pakistan in 2010, and Thailand in 2011) revealed increasing flood risks due to climate and societal change. Consequently, the roles of multiple stakeholders in flood risk management have transformed significantly. A central aspect here is the question of sharing responsibilities among global, national, regional, and local stakeholders in organizing flood risk management of all kinds. This new policy agenda of sharing responsibilities strives to delegate responsibilities and costs from the central government to local authorities, and from public administration to private citizens. The main reasons for this decentralization are that local authorities can deal more efficiently with public administration tasks concerned with risks and emergency management. Resulting locally based strategies for risk reduction are expected to tighten the feedback loops between complex environmental dynamics and human decision-making processes. However, there are a series of consequences to this rescaling process in flood risk management, regarding the development of new governance structures and institutions, like resilience teams or flood action groups in the United Kingdom. Additionally, downscaling to local-level tasks without additional resources is particularly challenging. This development has tightened further with fiscal and administrative cuts around the world resulting from the global economic crisis of 2007–2008, which tightening eventually causes budget restrictions for flood risk management. Managing local risks easily exceeds the technical and budgetary capacities of municipal institutions, and individual citizens struggle to carry the full responsibility of flood protection. To manage community engagement in flood risk management, emphasis should be given to the development of multi-level governance structures, so that multiple stakeholders share fairly the power, resources, and responsibility in disaster planning. If we fail to do so, some consequences would be: (1), “hollowing out” the government, including the downscaling of the responsibility towards local stakeholders; and (2), inability of the government to deal with the new tasks due to lack of resources transferred to local authorities.

The relevance of the study is due to the priority tasks facing the state, among which a special place is occupied by the activities to prevent and combat corruption, minimize and eliminate the consequences of corruption offenses, including in the field of public administration. The purpose of the study is a General description of the assessment of corruption risks in the Federal Executive bodies, carrying out control and Supervisory functions. In considering these issues, the author used General, General scientific and private scientific methods, including formal legal. The author analyzes the corruption-dangerous functions, the main stages of corruption risk assessment and the whole system of corruption risk management. The study formed proposals to improve the methods aimed at minimizing the identified corruption risks in the course of the functions of state bodies. The proposed measures, reflected in the conclusions of the work, can be used by the Federal Executive bodies exercising control and Supervisory functions in order to improve their activities.

Abstract The issue of risk management has gained attention in the field of administration due to the dissemination of international frameworks. In Brazilian federal public administration, risk management is a recent and expanding practice. This research analyzes how international corporate risk management frameworks have been adopted by the federal government through regulations and guidelines. The study adopts the concepts of coercive, normative, and mimetic forces from the neo-institutional theory, and examines the presence of international norms in the Brazilian regulations. Through a qualitative approach, content analysis in documents, norms, interviews, and seminars was used to identify traits of the COSO ERM and ISO 31000/2009 frameworks, which were chosen based on relevance. Results identify important actors pushing for the use of international frameworks, such as international organizations, professional associations, and public agencies, especially those related to government audits. Despite the strong international influence, the Brazilian norms are adapted to the organizations’ context and allowing the maintenance of national autonomy.

he article presents the characteristic of the scientific genesis of public risk management in construction in Ukraine, in global and local dimen- sions. The essence of the working organization of risk management in the con- struction and operation of buildings, taking into account the transformational processes in society, is disclosed. On the basis of the analysis of risks in construc- tion and taking into account the current realities, scientifically grounded ap- proaches to the formation of the risk system in the construction and operation of facilities in the system of public administration. It is noted that the risks and crisis phenomena in the construction complex gave a powerful impetus to un- derstanding the causes of the problems of decentralization and finding mecha- nisms for their elimination, in general. The trilateral mission of the state in the conditions of decentralization is the regulation of the macroeconomic role of the construction complex, the mechanism of economic relations of its participants, and ensuring the effectiveness of design decisions in the construction sector, by extending their competences on prevention and risk reduction in the construction industry by the local self-government bodies. To form a state decentraliza- tion policy for construction is required on the basis of knowledge of objective regional macro- and microeconomic investment-construction processes in ci- ties, economic mechanism and indicators of development of investment-build- ing complex and dynamics of social and economic development of regions. The mechanism of the construction complex needs to be improved, using new sources and forms of financing, achieving the balance of the goals of decentralization and its financial support. In addition, taking into account the European integration course of the announced reforms, the European understanding of the essence of risk management in construction during decentralization becomes of paramount importance. Therefore, further research requires the study of the experience of European countries in the implementation of risk management processes in con- struction during the decentralization of power and the analysis of foreign systems of management mechanisms, in the context of their implementation in the na- tional practice of public administration.

The article presents the characteristic of the scientific genesis of public risk management in construction in Ukraine, in global and local dimensions. The essence of the working organization of risk management in the construction and operation of buildings, taking into account the transformational processes in society, is disclosed. On the basis of the analysis of risks in construction and taking into account the current realities, scientifically grounded approaches to the formation of the risk system in the construction and operation of facilities in the system of public administration. It is noted that the risks and crisis phenomena in the construction complex gave a powerful impetus to understanding the causes of the problems of decentralization and finding mechanisms for their elimination, in general. The trilateral mission of the state in the conditions of decentralization is the regulation of the macroeconomic role of the construction complex, the mechanism of economic relations of its participants, and ensuring the effectiveness of design decisions in the construction sector, by extending their competences on prevention and risk reduction in the construction industry by the local self-government bodies. To form a state decentralization policy for construction is required on the basis of knowledge of objective regional macro- and microeconomic investment-construction processes in cities, economic mechanism and indicators of development of investment-building complex and dynamics of social and economic development of regions. The mechanism of the construction complex needs to be improved, using new sources and forms of financing, achieving the balance of the goals of decentralization and its financial support. In addition, taking into account the European integration course of the announced reforms, the European understanding of the essence of risk management in construction during decentralization becomes of paramount importance. Therefore, further research requires the study of the experience of European countries in the implementation of risk management processes in construction during the decentralization of power and the analysis of foreign systems of management mechanisms, in the context of their implementation in the national practice of public administration.
