The presented article is not only a review of the recently published monograph of Professor I.V.Ponin «Theory of deviantology of public administration: uncertainty, risks, defects, dysfunctions and failures of public administration», but also a scientific thinking of studying problems. First of all, they are the problems of administrative capacity of the state, various weaknesses, imbalances and uncertainty in state management, dysfunctions, risk and other abnormalities in the mechanisms of modern public administration. Particular attention is paid to the factors and conditions generating dysfunctional governance forming untenable, «parallel» and so – called corrupt distopia states. The reader´s attention will be drawn by plots concerning risk – based approaches in the state of political and administrative activity, as well as the features of error control in situations of uncertainty and crisis failures.

The purpose of the article is to generalize the trends in the development of social risks in modern society and to identify the features of public administration in minimizing their negative consequences. It is established that changing social positions and public consciousness in conditions of openness of social systems creates new risks, and the analysis of their influence on social behavior becomes one of the most relevant areas in public-management science. The need to study this problem is also conditioned by the need to find ways to minimize risks and influence them in favorable directions for social development. This problem in the conditions of the Ukrainian society, being in the conditions of increased risk, acquires a special urgency. It is substantiated that with the development of scientific knowledge of risks, the latter are increasingly being considered as a systemic object of study. With this approach, given the relevance of this topic, the state-managerial aspect of risk is put on the forefront as the basis for its perception, formation and reproduction. It is proved that risk is an integral component of the knowledge society, its reverse side. If we consider knowledge as a prerequisite for social action and proceed from its relative completeness, then the risk assuming the necessity of making a choice in the conditions of incomplete information becomes its logical consequence and integral characteristic. It is determined that in order to overcome the contradictions in the formation and development of social risks in modern society, it is necessary to expand research capabilities and knowledge itself, primarily in the direction of scientific justification of the state influence on prevention of social risks or minimization of their negative consequences. It is found out that modern social risks have the ability to transform into other types of uncertainties, therefore the knowledge society is able not only to accumulate risks, but to cause really explosive situations. It is proved that risk, like any phenomenon, can be considered as a process that takes place in time, but the dynamics of risk is extremely complex, and the identification of the stages of its development is relatively arbitrary. It is substantiated that the most important from the point of view of public management is the stage of potential risk, as consideration of its content creates the basis for a more integrated and focused approach to minimizing the possibility of a social crisis, reducing its dangerous consequences, preventing state management loss, and systemic collapse. The main feature of this stage is social tension, which requires effective measures on the part of the state. Thus, the modernization of society is steadily leading to an increase in the number of its constituent elements, an ever increasing variety of their interrelationships. As a result, the qualitative and quantitative nature of the consequences of this process changes: the probability of the emergence of new forms of social contradictions increases, and the scale of potential social cataclysms grows. This situation requires drastic changes in the system of public administration with regard to the formation of appropriate mechanisms to prevent and minimize the consequences of new types of social risks.

Introduction. Modern turbulent state of society actualizes need for scientifically based methods and technological solutions to improve the information security system not only for the state, but also for society and the person in particular. Objective. To highlight the significant factors of information security of social development and to study the role of public admini-stration in the context of the actualization of information threats and risks. Study results. The article considers the essence of state management approaches to information security based on interpretation in terms of risk management. Information security is presented as a dynamic system that needs balance. Balance can be disturbed by external and internal factors. The 8 most significant factors that need to be taken into account to develop effective models of public administration in the field of information security are identified. 4 paradigms of information security management (systemic, synergetic, phenomenological and cognitive) which can be involved are considered. However, they are not universal and separate in any particular case, that is they are systemic in nature, and security management should be based on their integrated application depending on the situation and the specifics of the management process. Based on the analysis of the classical model of maintaining the state balance of a dynamic system, it is concluded that it can be used to ensure information security. A model is proposed to explain the reasons for the imbalance of the dynamic system of information security under the action of factors of influence and the risks that accompany them, and to determine the measures of public administration to ensure it. Conclusion. The model is proposed to explain the reasons for the imbalance of the dynamic system of information security under the action of factors of influence and the risks that accompany them, and to determine the measures of public administration to ensure it. Key words: Information security; Information security factors; Society; Public administration; Information security model.

The low level of Ukraine’s economic security indicates the imperfection of the public administration system. Correlation analysis has shown that economic growth is the dominant condition for social goals achieving of sustainable development. Therefore, the methodological basis for the development of effective measures of public administration of economic security is the provisions of the theory of sustainable development. The foundation of the sustainable development theory is the synergetic principles of self-organization of systems, in particular, the chaos theory. The turbulence of the trajectory of the country’s economic system makes it susceptible to management in the context of unforeseen events («black swans») and economic crises, provoked by medium-long cycles. Today, the COVID-19 pandemic can serve as an example of the «Black Swan» event for the economic systems of the global world. Therefore, the strategic task of public administration in times of chaos should be to maintain the homeostatic balance of the economic system while simultaneously finding new alternatives (attractors) for its sustainable development. To diagnose the economic system state by the level of security (homeostasis) the threshold (permissible, stable) limits of the values of indicators are fundamental, to characterize the level of protection of national economic interests. In domestic practice, to define safety indicator thresholds are used primarily heuristic methods, which based on the expert’s experience and intuition. The subjectivity inherent in heuristic methods does not exclude fundamental errors in the state diagnosis of the economic system by safety level. To prevent subjectivity, it is suggested to use Shewhart’s control charts. The Shewhart’s theory largely corresponds to the basic provisions of the theories of Sustainable Development and the Black Swan. To identify periods of «chaos» and «order» (an unruly and manageable management process) of the development trajectory of the socio-economic system, it is advisable to use combined XmR-chart. The article provides an example of the interpretation of the build XmR-map results for analyzing the manageability of the process of ensuring the Ukraine’s economic security during 1990-2019 years.

The article describes some peculiarities of using the basic approa- ches of state administration for professional and amateur arts. It is established that for the State it is necessary to provide an assistance to artistic development in all spheres of its appearance. The use of an indicative approach to profession- al and amateur art management is recommended. It is revealed that indicative state management of art will be able to transform the subjects of management into the subjects of responsibility, who will achieve clearly defined spiritual and educational tasks and become accountable. This will contribute to systematic assessment of the practice of state and municipal management of professional and amateur art and will allow to adjust educational policy at all levels of govern- ment — the state, the region, the settlement, a separate union of artists.It is proved that the formation of professional and amateur arts in the system of public administration should take place through the process of understanding the aspects of individual and group behavior, the system analysis, planning methods, motivation and control, quantitative methods and decision making. Applying the philosophical approach to the problem under study, I believe that a healthy soci- ety can not be imagined without art. Man in its essence tends to be beautiful, to recreate the surrounding world through the prism of their own feelings of objec- tive reality in works of art. That is why, for the state, it is extremely necessary to ensure the promotion of artistic development in all areas of its manifestation.It is noted that one of the main approaches of the state administration to the formation of professional and amateur art is the author of this article considers the philosophical approach. There are also special connections of personality and social factors that determine the spiritual crisis of man.

As digital technologies develop, a new form of relations between the state and the public is developing as well. Additional opportunities for the expression of public interests and the establishment of values preferred by the society arise, new mechanisms of political mobilization develop, new forms of public organization and self-organization emerge, the social media gain more power, and local and general public narrative develop on a number of online platforms. With the digitization of the public space, the state is forced to change its communication strategies and improve the dialogue between the government and the society based on deliberative democracy principles. After analysing the architecture of public communication emerging in new conditions the paper concludes that Russia is making certain efforts to adapt for the new digitized reality. However, current state priorities are shifting towards e-government and the digital economy. On the one hand, it seems justified, as it allows to bring the public services to a completely new level, reduce corruption risks, and simplify state management of economic processes. On the other hand, the lack of due attention to the issues of openness of public administration and involvement of citizens in making public decisions results in accumulation of contradictions in the public area of public administration, as well as increasing mutual misunderstanding and distrust between the state bodies and the civil society, which may entail bursts of social discontent and protests.

The need to improve public administration of import dependency was characterized (in the example of Ukraine) and the signs of its influence and interconnection with ensuring the state’s economic security are characterized. The methodological sequence of import dependency evaluation is substantiated. Using Hotelling’s method of transformation (the method of principal components), the multiplicative form is presented and the integral index of import dependency of the country’s economy is calculated. Harrington’s interval scale is used to summarize the results of the integral evaluation of import dependency. The results of the evaluation have confirmed the high level of import dependency of the Ukrainian economy and clear tendencies for its strengthening, which is critically threatening to the country’s economic security. Using the tool of multivariate dynamic regression modeling, a statistically significant correlation between the level of import dependency and the country’s economic security is established. The economic and mathematical descriptive model of state management of the state’s economic security is formed, which is embedded in a methodical approach to strategizing the state policy of import substitution. The purpose of the state management of import substitution, the parameters of ensuring the country’s economic security agreed with it, the strategic priorities of the state policy of import substitution and the indicators of their implementation are determined.

The article is devoted to the study of public administration in the field of tourism in terms of adaptation to the standards of the European Union. Emphasis placed on the fact that the state of domestic policy in the field of tourism does not meet modern world standards of industry management at the state level. In connection with the transition from a planned to a market model of state development in the last two decades, there have been clear problems that prevent the full use of the tourist and recreational potential of Ukraine. On the one hand, the underdevelopment of domestic tourism correlates with the general problems of political, social and economic nature inherent in developing countries at a certain stage of their development. On the other hand — the lack of the necessary methodological framework and lack of methodological developments for state regulation of tourism correlates with the impossibility of practical application of tourism laws, tourism development programs and the formation of tourism regulation structures at the national level, which directly and indirectly affect the adaptation of Ukrainian legislation and state-management activities in accordance with the standards of the European Union. Based on the results of doctrinal and comprehensive research, it concluded that in the context of promoting the gradual convergence of domestic and European public administration environment, strengthening economic and trade relations that will lead to Ukraine’s gradual integration into the EU internal market, expanding cooperation based on the rule of law and respect for the rule of law. Human rights and fundamental freedoms, the sphere of tourism occupies one of the key aspects not only at the national level but also at the international level. At the same time, in the context of adaptation of domestic legislation and public administration to EU standards, it is advisable to develop a methodology and action plan aimed at implementing the holistic guidelines and principles enshrined at the European level.
