This chapter discusses the impact of the pan-European general principles of good administration on Armenian administrative law. The chapter claims that successful reform of Armenian public administration is an indispensable prerequisite for successful implementation of these principles but that there is still a long way to go. Besides this, the Armenian legal order is generally open to being shaped and influenced by the said principles and demonstrates numerous successful examples thereof. Nevertheless, the chapter highlights that usually the Armenian legislator is the only one to transfer these principles into Armenian law. It describes the reception of the pan-European general principles of good administration as still being under development in Armenia. The chapter concludes that in order to guarantee the full extent of ‘good administration’ it remains necessary that general reforming of Armenian public administration be successfully implemented.

Strategic course of Ukraine towards European integration requires a new conceptual basis for the institutionalization of power, the introduction of a modern model of public administration. In the conditions of democratic transit, Ukraine and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe should use a conservative Neo-Weberian State (NWS) Model. This model is normative in terms of implementation in Ukraine, because our country, first, has accumulated necessary democratic potential of public initiative; secondly, it has a tradition of strong state power, capable of independently performing the functions of public goal-setting and making appropriate organic decisions; third, it is able to ensure the longevity of public policy at all administrative levels; fourth, preserves stable corporate values and rules of the civil service; fifth, seeks to bring the process of modernization of the domestic public administration system closer to European standards and practices. The normative and legal conditions necessary for the modernization of the current system of public administration in Ukraine in the direction of implementation of the principles of public administration have been generalized. In Ukraine, modernization of the public administration system, aimed at forming a new model of public administration, is possible only if the objective and subjective preconditions are taken into account, which are critical for the successful implementation of decentralization. It has been identified the following promising stages of decentralization in Ukraine: 1) deconcentration of powers and resources, their legally justified transfer from central government to regional and local government bodies; 2) compliance with the principles of devolution of power; 3) powers and resources will be distributed between traditional public authorities (state and self-governing) and market and public structures; 4) introduction of the newest models of public management, built on the principles of the New Public Management paradigm. Keywords: public administration, state government, decentralization, modernization, European integration.

Today, our state is undergoing significant shifts and transformations of the outdated social system, affecting all spheres of the country’s functioning. Such shifts are taking place all over the world and are due to the presence and active influence of globalization processes. World globalization prompts all countries of the world to revise the outdated postulates of their national policy towards realizing the importance of adapting international goals and values recognized by the world community, which are designed not only to ensure the harmonious development of an individual country, but of the whole world. Globalization acts as a factor in leveling static ties between countries, expanding the boundaries of interaction. Basically, the vector of activity of globalization processes is inclined towards the formation of a unified system of socio-economic and political-legal forms of state structure. At the same time, a qualitatively new formation of branched transnational systems of ties is taking place, as a result of which qualitatively new “social actors” enter the world arena, which in turn form new communities, communications and channels of interaction. Thus, the influence of globalization processes is becoming a powerful factor in the democratization of society, increased transparency in government circles and the establishment of equality in society. The purpose of the article is to characterize the main features of the impact of socio-economic globalization on the public administration system in the field of higher education. It is determined that the process of globalization, like other processes, has its own life cycle, which, in our opinion, should be considered as a vicious circle, that is, it has an end, but which, at the same time, becomes the beginning of a new cycle. It has been proven that globalization has led to the need for teaching intercultural communication skills. To move at the same pace with the world, we must start, not turn away from the idea of globalization and its impact on the curriculum of higher education, and strive to understand how to educate citizens who fit into a global way of life. A growing number of case studies point to the complexity of the impact of globalization on the future of higher education. In the future, attention should be paid to determining the main factors of the impact of socio-economic globalization on the public administration system in the field of higher education.

The paper emphasizes that in current conditions of economic system functioning in Ukraine, it is impossible to achieve economic growth without an effective investment policy. An efficient national investment policy enables developing countries to avoid economic and technological dependency and to ensure solutions of key objectives of the sustainable development of the regions and the country as a whole, the growth of their economic capacity and raising standards of living for the population. Modern transformational processes and global trends in economic development are putting new demands for forming the policy of regulation by the investment process in Ukraine. The paper determines that one of the peculiarities of the modern national investment policy of Ukraine is that it is formed and implemented in the conditions of reforming of the public administration system. Decentralization of power and change of administrative and territorial structure in Ukraine by uniting communities and reforming local self-government in terms of redistribution of powers, competences and financial provision are some of the main directions of the public administration modernization. Decentralization provides new opportunities for harnessing investment potential of territories, promotes investment activity to increase the industrial-economic and socio-cultural capacity of territorial communities and accelerates the rates of renewable processes of tangible and intangible production. It is the prerequisite of public administration system modernization by the social development of regions. A clear understanding of the essence, models and principles of decentralization is the important factor for its successful implementation. Ensuring the development of investment activity in the region in conditions of decentralization is the effective mean for regional development, which provides not only the development of the economy as a whole, but also the development of cultural, medical, educational, and social spheres.

Technological changes taking place under the flag of digitalization affect not only the sphere of technology itself. Digitalization is not a politically neutral process, a simple means of increasing labor productivity. It has a decisive influence on all spheres of life of modern society, creating additional conditions for their networking. The network architecture of emerging relations includes not only social and political agents, but also the technical objects themselves, which begin to perform the functions of mediators in interaction. There is a pessimistic and optimistic direction in assessing the ongoing transformations and the role of the technical component in them. Some politicians and scientists talk about a new cybernetic totalitarianism, while others believe that in modern conditions not only challenges arise, but also prospects for more meaningful and effective development are being formed. The article focuses on one important aspect of the topic related to the relation of digitalization, its inclusion in the public administration system and the emerging problems of public governability. Trends in the impact of digitalization on public governability are considered, four models of network governability efficiency are analyzed: interactive, contingent, multidimensional, socio-technical. Particular attention is paid to the problem of cooperation between government and citizens, which ensure the effectiveness of governance based on co-governance networks.

E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.

The problematic issues of the development of self-ordering mechanisms in the public administration system are determined, with observance of their division into institutional, functional and evolutionary parts. The institutional part includes self-regulation mechanisms implemented in the models of subject-subject interaction at the levels of higher, central and local government bodies, as well as in models of object-object interaction between them. The most important in the institutional part of self-governing mechanisms are those that ensure: the separation of powers between branches of government; administrative reform of the government structure; separation of public spheres of government between central government bodies; administrative reform of the structure of central executive bodies; delimitation of territorial spheres of government between local authorities; administrative-territorial reform; formation and implementation of the structure of the power hierarchy; administrative reform of the structure of the power hierarchy. The functional part includes the mechanisms of self-regulation, realized in the model of object-object interaction “system of state power — social sphere, industry and relations”. The most important parts of the mechanisms of self-regulation are those that ensure: the formation and implementation of state policies in various spheres of society; formation and implementation of national projects; formation and implementation of state target programs; state budgeting. The evolutionary part includes the mechanisms of self-regulation, realized in the model of object-object interaction “system of state power — the creation of conditions for social development”. The most important parts of the evolutionary part of self-governing mechanisms are those that provide: strategic management and planning; realization of state programs of social and economic development; conducting constant economic and social reforms and transformations.

The article studies the main stages and features of the evolution of the public administration system in the Republic of Estonia after 1992. This paper presents brief geographical and socio-economic characteristics that largely determine the development of the country’s public administration. The evolution of the institution of the presidency, executive, and legislative powers are considered. The role of parliament and mechanisms for coordinating the interests of different groups of the population for the development of the country is especially emphasized. The authors analyze the state and administrative reforms of recent years, which were aimed at improving the quality of services provided to the population, increasing the competitiveness of different parts of Estonia, as well as optimizing public spending and management structure. The introduction of digital technologies into the sphere of public administration, healthcare, education, and the social sphere is of a notable place. Such phenomena as e-residency, e-federation, and other digital projects are considered. The development of a digital system of interstate interaction between Estonia and Finland made it possible to create the world’s first e-federation, and the digitization of all strategically important information and its transfer to cloud storage speaks of the creation of the world’s first e-residency, a special residence of data outside the country’s borders to ensure digital continuity and statehood in the event of critical malfunctions or external threats.
