Analyzing the organizational and legal concepts of state risk management in construction, during the decentralization reform in Ukraine, attention is focused on the overall impact of risks arising from the partial delegation of managerial powers to local authorities and those directly related to the state administration of risks in the field of construction and operation of structures. It is well-proven that every region has the priorities in the management of building risks and they can conflict with not only interests of other regions but also public policy. It can result even in bankruptcy of territories, when every region will defend the interests in relation to a management risks and inculcate the own system of self-regulation of town-planning activity in a region. Presently the process of scientific research and study of level of offensive of risks in building, depending on the regional features of territory, remains a white spot in planning of activity of organs of local-authority. The question is about forming of practice of state administration risks which test changes, in building as a result of decentralization of power, as a result of leadthrough of row of marketings researches, both into industry and at the oversea market. It is noted that the result of decentralization reform could be better if the necessary constitutional changes were voted for to develop the local level of government. The author substantiates the provision that the main tasks of public authorities in the sphere of construction and operation of facilities, with decentralization, are: the territorial organization of power to ensure the reliability and safety of construction and operation facilities; the establishment of requirements for regional policy reforms that must ensure proper conditions for the functioning of construction enterprises; ensuring the proper scientific and technical level and quality of construction and operation of facilities; state management of lands, natural resources, environmental protection, rational use of land and natural resources, saving material, energy and labor resources and others. An organizational and legal mechanism for the adoption of public-management decisions in the sphere of state construction policy has been developed and its advantages have been revealed.

The development of the tourism industry takes place in conditions of high competition. To ensure competitiveness in the market of tourist services, an important element of promotion is the formation of an effective tourist brand. Thus, the article is devoted to the topical issue of finding effective ways to implement mechanisms for public management of tourism brand development on the example of territories, in the context of decentralization reform in Ukraine. These studies are important both from a scientific and theoretical point of view, and from the point of view of business practice in modern market relations. The purpose of the article is to find ways to improve the system of public management of the tourist brand of the territories. The market is oversaturated with traditional forms of tourist attractions. To enter new markets or increase your target audience, you need to develop original projects and promote a non-standard tourism product. Such a product can be various innovative projects of different types of tourism, as a type of tourism that is actively developing and attracts additional attention of tourists to areas that have potentially interesting tourist resources. The article is devoted to the development of the theoretical foundations of public administration for the promotion of the tourist brand of the regions. Theoretical approaches to the definition of the concept of tourism brand management in terms of territorial development are analyzed. The leading world practices of formation of tourist brands of territories are analyzed. Domestic trends in the development of tourism brands are identified, taking into account the opportunities for the creation of public management systems for tourism brands at the regional level. The expediency of introduction of initiatives on introduction of mechanisms of the state management of a tourist brand of territories is developed and substantiated. The results of developments can be used in practical activities to develop the tourism potential of the regions.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the normative legal support of the general secondary educational institutions functioning. The importance of the state-public management has been justified, as far as the major analytical reports of the state authority point at the insufficient attained involvement of public institutions in the management education. For these purposes, the traditional state-public management transformation and upgradeability have been explored by means of the state-public organizations combined efforts, deplacement of the dominant influence and its transition to an innovative public-state management. According to the results of enquiry within the Kharkiv region it has been found, that the state-public management prevails to date, in connection with low public activity, lack of stakeholders` readiness to co-management, public-state management immaturity of general secondary educational institutions in science and practice. However, we can observe establishment and development of public-state management in most educational institutions of the united territorial communities, that is an indication that the local authority decentralization reform wields major influence on the democratic process formation in all fields of public life.

The Global Financial Crisis

This chapter characterizes the overall strategy of public services reform apparent in England after the global financial crisis of 2008 and during the period of the UK’s Coalition government 2010–15. It argues that what can be termed a ‘proto narrative’ of reform, orientated around so-called ‘Big Society’ ideas, emerged around 2010. However, we argue it was trumped in the end by Treasury-led and New Public Management-friendly austerity discourse. The concrete example is taken of the health policy to form new clinical commissioning groups in the primary care sector. They were presented as a mechanism which could promote professional engagement in commissioning. However, they were soon subjected to top-down performance management pressures and systems, including strong attempts to prevent financial deficits from emerging at a local level, which eroded bottom-up and professionally driven innovation. We conclude that the Big Society proto reform narrative failed to consolidate itself.

Complex Knowledge

People possess a creative set of strategies based on their local knowledge (LK) that allow them to stay in flood-prone areas. Stakeholders involved with local level flood risk management (FRM) often overlook and underutilise this LK. There is thus an increasing need for its identification, documentation and assessment. Based on qualitative research, this paper critically explores the notion of LK in Malawi. Data was collected through 15 focus group discussions, 36 interviews and field observation, and analysed using thematic analysis. Findings indicate that local communities have a complex knowledge system that cuts across different stages of the FRM cycle and forms a component of community resilience. LK is not homogenous within a community, and is highly dependent on the social and political contexts. Access to LK is not equally available to everyone, conditioned by the access to resources and underlying causes of vulnerability that are outside communities’ influence. There are also limits to LK; it is impacted by exogenous processes (e.g., environmental degradation, climate change) that are changing the nature of flooding at local levels, rendering LK, which is based on historical observations, less relevant. It is dynamic and informally triangulated with scientific knowledge brought about by development partners. This paper offers valuable insights for FRM stakeholders as to how to consider LK in their approaches.

Policy Arrangements

Academic and political debate places great expectations on cities’ potential for furthering decentralized, bottom-up climate policies. Local policy research acknowledges the role of local agency to develop and implement sustainability, but also acknowledges internal conflicts. This partly reflects tensions between different functions of the local level, and different governance models related to them. In addition, local dependency on higher level competencies, resources, and overarching strategies is discussed. This article proposes a focus on political processes and power relationships between levels of governance, and among relevant domains within cities, to understand the dynamics of policy change towards sustainability. Researching these dynamics within local climate policy arrangements (LCPAs) is proposed as an approach to understanding the complexities of local constellations and contradictions within them. It makes the distinction between “weak” and “strong” ecological modernization, and relates it to two basic rationales for local governance. The resulting typology denotes constellations characterizing policy change ambitions towards local climate policy in crucial domains, including economic development, energy infrastructures, climate change management, town planning and housing, and transportation. This article argues that this approach overcomes the limitations of the predominating conceptualizations of urban carbon control strategies as consistent, and recognises the multi-level dimension of such internal urban processes.

Public Administration Reform

Public services represent an important dimension of quality of society, as they create the contextual conditions for people to further their quality of life. Romanian public administration reform has brought about a constant institutional transformation, which has influenced both the specific features and the quality of the services. This article aims to analyse trends regarding the perceived quality of public services in Romania, in European comparative perspective, using the data of the European Quality of Life Survey (2003–2016). The article aims to understand the low satisfaction with public services in Romania against the background of the public service reform measures taken by government in this period. The article describes the context of Romanian public administration and public service reform, the most important public policy measures adopted and the most important challenges. The lack of vision in the public service reform, the partial introduction of reform elements, the permanent and, sometimes, conflicting changes are issues that may have influenced the way in which the population perceives the quality of public services. The decentralisation process of public services and the insufficient allocation of public funds for delivering such services at local level might have an impact on their quality and quantity perceived by the population.

Innovative Approaches

The article is devoted to the problems of finding and introducing modern innovative approaches to the activities of local self-government bodies of Ukraine. It has been found that overcoming the problems of old and inefficient models and management methods that do not meet the requirements of modern communities is possible only through the development of high-quality and effective theoretical, methodical, organizational, and legal support for the process of local self-government. The definition of the concept of “local self-government” is summarized, using the regulatory margin and considering this concept in the context of modern realities, which now constantly face this institution of management. The author's interpretation of the category “local self-government” was developed for the needs of solving the problems and problems set out in the article. An organizational and legal mechanism for introducing innovative approaches to the activities of local self-government bodies has been developed as the main element of the definition of the category “local self-government.” Problems related to the effective functioning of institutions for the provision of “electronic” public services have been investigated. Innovative approaches to improving mechanisms for the provision of “electronic” public services by local authorities have been developed and justified. A general methodology for reengineering the administrative and management processes of local self-government bodies in the form of phases and stages of its implementation has been developed. It was concluded that the continuous development of the system of local self-government does not allow the development of sustainable types of innovative approaches to solve problem areas of local self-government “forever,” but requires the constant monitoring of foreign experience of advanced countries and the constant development of new and progressive innovative mechanisms that will continue to introduce decentralization reform and the creation of strong and effective local self-government bodies

Over Exploitation

Recent decades have witnessed an increased attention towards emergence of decentralized strategies in natural resource management, as a solution to problems of over exploitation and degradation of natural resources. However, it is important to note that central to the processes of decentralisation in natural resource management is that of the concept of property rights. Successful decentralisation in natural resource management requires effective institutions be in place at local level with clearly defined property rights. In this context, the present paper analyses the process of changing property rights in decentralized natural resources management. It explores different forms of property rights and answers the question as to which type of property rights must be devolved to the user groups, if decentralized natural resource management is to be effective and sustainable.
