The concept of "Service state" and the paradigm of consumption in public administration are gradually laughing at the paradigm of participation. The terms "joint leadership", "joint management" are included not only in theory, but also in practice. The article examines two related categories "joint production" and "joint management", defines the specificity of these concepts. The definition of "joint public administration" is proposed, the development of which in the doctrine of law and administration is necessary, since "joint leadership" has become a new principle of public administration.

The Impact

InAdministrative Behavior, Herbert Simon proposed a science of administration where organizational decisions represent the primary units of analysis. In constructing a conceptual framework to guide that science, Simon drew heavily on insights from cognitive psychology. Since its publication in 1947,Administrative Behaviorhas inspired researchers investigating institutional and organizational practices across many settings. Here, consideration is given to the impact ofAdministrative Behaviorin public policy and public administration. Four legacies are highlighted. They are: scholarship on incrementalism in policy-making, scholarship on agenda setting, scholarship on choice architecture, and scholarship on expertise and learning organizations. Continuous improvements in information technology and its application, combined with increasing citizen demands for more effective and efficient government, suggest ideas introduced inAdministrative Behaviorwill continue to influence theory and practice in policy design and public management for years to come.

The article deals with the managing process of the formation, development and reproduction of national intellectual resources of public administration (IRPA), which includes their use and reproduction; their structure and their function characteristics are revealed; the author's definition of the concept of "national intellectual resource of public administration" is proposed; the importance of managing national intellectual resources of public administration for modern public-management practice is characterized. It is argued that the peculiarity of national IRPAs lies in their flexibility, in that the process of their formation takes place in a separate national- cultural space, which is influenced by historical, political, educational, information and other factors. It is proved that the management of the national IRPA is a process of purposeful influence on the components of the national IRPA, their interaction in order to secure the state's advantages in the modern world or to achieve its development goals. The factors that determine the need for the formation, development, use and reproduction of national IRPA s are revealed.

The African continent is facing a number of administrative crises. The recent decline of public administration on the continent has forced some African countries to re-assess their governance systems. Their public service reforms are evidence of the emergence of New Public Management (NPM) for improved public sector administrative structures and operations. This article discusses the paradigm shifts from New Public Administration to New Public Management, as a means of meeting public administration challenges in Africa. At a contextual level, the paper examines the practical implementation by some African countries of NPM and the outcomes of NPM-led reform in these countries.Keywords: Public Administration (PA); New Public Administration (NPA); New Public Management (NPM); Public Value Management (PVM); paradigm; paradigm shift; public service reforms; governanceDisciplines: Public Management; Political Science; Sociology; Economics

The article covers changes of direction in development of the maritime management complex of Ukraine. The need for a comprehensive study of specific stages of seaports development is due to the fact that maritime ports are an integral part of the transport and industrial infrastructure of the state since they are located on the routes of international transport corridors. The European integration of Ukraine and activation of its transit influence enhancing the quality of services of the maritime management complex. By the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On the Seaports of Ukraine”, there were significant changes in the public administration of the maritime industry, which remain in force to this day. The methodological basis of the research is formed by a system of general scientific and special legal methods of scientific knowledge (historical, dialectical, analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction, forecasting). Based on the study of scientific works on the public management theory and the public administration, the author’s definition of the category “public administration” in the maritime industry at the stage of transformation has been formulated. Aspects of management have been analyzed, tasks and functions have been revised in accordance with European standards and best management practices; critical factors for the successful administration of the port sector of Ukraine have been identified. It was pointed out, that nowadays the Ukrainian maritime industry has a unique opportunity to create its own port management model based on the European “port-landlord” management pattern. It was emphasized, that there is a need for a seminal work in the direction of changing national legislation, a significant change in the approach, not only in planning the development of ports, but also a binding development implementation through the application of a direct rule on prosecution for failure to comply with strategic documents on the development of the industry. Fostering the emergence of an approach for determining the direction of public administration development of the maritime industry at the stage of changes involves solving the following issues: withdrawal of land administration from the public sector; optimization of managerial decision making; adoption of the institution for the implementation of plans for the development of ports and the responsibility for the execution of those tasks.

Information technology (IT) is often less emphasized in coursework related to public administration education, despite the growing need for technological capabilities in those joining the public sector workforce. This coupled with a lesser emphasis on e-government/IT skills by accreditation standards adds to the widening gap between theory and practice in the field. This study examines the emphasis placed on e-government/IT concepts in Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Master of Public Policy (MPP) programs, either through complete course offerings or through related courses such as public management, strategic planning, performance measurement and organization theory. Based on a content analysis of their syllabi, the paper analyzes the extent to which the IT/e-government courses in MPA/Master of Public Policy programs address the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration competency standards, and further discuss the orientation of the courses with two of the competencies: management and policy. Specifically, are e-government/IT courses more management-oriented or policy-oriented? Do public management, strategic planning, performance measurement, and organization theory courses address IT concerns?

Public administration scholarship has a long-standing tradition of examining the legitimacy of public administration. One of the motives behind this literature is the necessity to defend against constant criticisms directed toward public administration research, theory, and practice. In this article, we shift the focus from defending public administration by conceptualizing and accepting it as an illegitimate and stigmatized institution—one that cannot and should not rid itself of this label. Accepting and presupposing this label of illegitimacy, independent from any particular definition of legitimacy, allows scholars and practitioners to focus on creating new knowledge and performing professional responsibilities.

The article considers the system of criteria for evaluating innovation activity in the system of public management of socio-economic processes. It is offered to use not exact values of this or that characteristic, and their indistinct analogues for the description of processes in social systems. It is determined that new knowledge and innovations determine the pace of scientific and technological progress, the viability of enterprises and the competitiveness of economies. This necessitates the search for strategies to stimulate innovation activity in the field of public administration, focused on the formation of a comprehensive system of motivations, the creation of a modern organizational and economic model of activity, the introduction of monitoring and evaluation technologies. At the same time, there is a lack of a systematic approach to the assessment of innovation activity in the public administration system, which is accompanied by an increase in the risks of innovation and negatively affect the introduction of new technologies. In this regard, the problem of selection and implementation of an effective system for monitoring and rating construction is relevant. Existing in theory and practice approaches to innovation management and assessment of the level of its development do not contain clear, unambiguously interpreted criteria for choosing a strategy, as well as tools and methods to stimulate innovation. In addition, insufficient attention is paid to the organizational aspects of the implementation of innovation strategies. The list of the main characteristics for classification of innovative activity and construction of rating monitoring is resulted. Each of the subsystems is characterized by its fuzzy index. Thus, a combination of indexes describing various aspects of system operation is a universal code that can be used to classify and rank. The principles of analysis of quantitative indicators are also used as a methodological basis in the formation of the methodology for assessing innovation activity. Indicators should be used in the development of further strategies and the introduction of rating technologies to monitor the use of modern management techniques, the use of managerial innovations, digitalization of public administration, etc.

The article is devoted to scientific and applied research on the problem of the formation and implementation of a universal, efficient and effective public management system for the development of railway transport in the changing socio-economic and political conditions of Ukraine. The definition of the category “public management of railway transport” and the problems of the railway industry as a whole was clarified. A universal, efficient and effective system of public management for the development of railway transport has been formed, containing all the necessary aspects: entrance to the system, working subsystems, exit, external environment, feedback, as well as the components and elements that are part of them. It has been proven that entrance into the system is the defining management and organizational link of the entire system. The main directions of introduction and development of elements of working subsystems are analyzed. Proposals on operational and strategic directions of improvement of public management of railway industry development in the following areas are presented: improvement of legislative and regulatory framework; full separation of the functions of public administration from the economic functions of railway enterprises; the development and implementation of a new public tariff management system; development of a progressive approach to the organization and management of passenger transportation and the introduction of a public administration system in the international security. It was concluded that the effective operation of the developed system and the successful introduction of areas of improvement of public management for the development of the railway industry will achieve the following results: create conditions for the development of free competition in the industry; increase the competitiveness of the railway industry in Ukrainian and international markets; achieve the desired indicators of railway industry efficiency and innovation growth

Service State

The article is devoted to the definition of the concept in the signs of public administration. It was found that the transition from the state-centric paradigm of state administration to the concept of a service state led to the renewal of the conceptual apparatus of administrative law. There was a need to substantiate the essence and characteristics of public administration, with the help of which the goals of the existence of a service state are realized.It is substantiated that the category “public administration” occupies an important place in modern scientific research. Scientists of public administration are mainly considered as: a) a way of realizing public interest as the interest of a certain social community, united within the territory of the state; b) as a mechanism for the implemen-tation of state policy; c) as the activity of public authorities (or state bodies and local self-government bodies) aimed at achieving socially important goals.It has been established that the definition of the concept of “public administration” in a broad sense depends to a certain extent on the level of development of democratic relations in society. If the state is characterized as democratic, then public administration can be defined as professional, paid, funded from the state and local budgets, the activities of state bodies and local self-government bodies, their officials, aimed at ensuring the rights, needs and interests of man and citizen, civil society, subjects objects of entrepreneurial activity and other participants in public relations within the framework of a unified state (public) policy. In a narrow, technocratic, understanding, public administration of any state can be considered as a set of actions of state-authorized bodies and their officials aimed at implementing public policy measures in all spheres of society.It has been proved that the signs of public administration are: a) the relationship between the direction of actions of persons directly carrying out public administration measures and state (public) policy; b) the professional nature of public administration; c) detailed legal regulation of most of the public administration activities; d) the presence of a distribution of competence between various subjects of public administration in order to avoid duplication of their functions.

The United States places great emphasis on the public administration–politics dichotomy, but what happens to public management when the dichotomy breaks down? The authors critically evaluate the public management frameworks, New Public Management and New Public Governance, in the context of two major public management failures: the U.S. State of Illinois Budget Impasse during 2015–2017 and the COVID-19 Pandemic. A definition of public management failure is proffered, and both public management frameworks are found to have polarized and opposing views on whether process or outcome should have priority in crisis. We question whether the two major seminal theories in our field are still generalizable when their assumptions about the dichotomy and political neutrality are challenged in times of crises. The polarized perspectives were found to contribute to the public management failures. Ultimately, both frameworks were found to minimize the political influences that public administration and public management operate under, leaving a need for a more holistic and realistic framework.
