Problem setting. Effective innovative development of the state is impossible without ensuring the proper functioning of innovation infrastructure and innovation processes. In turn, the innovation infrastructure must be accessible to users and have the ability to meet both logistical and information needs. In this aspect, an important issue that will be considered in this article is to ensure free access of participants in the innovation process to the established network of information and communication interaction and assistance. Analysis of recent researches and publications. V.V. Maloyvan, T.V. Pisarenko, T.K. Kvasha, N.V. Bereznyak, O.V. Prudka, S.V. Glibko, O.V. Rozgon, Yu. V. Georgievsky, Yu. V. Pasmor and O.M. Petukhova studied the issue of information support for access to innovation infrastructure. Target of research is to analyze the legal regulation of information support for access to innovation infrastructure; identification of existing problems and possible ways to solve them in order to increase the efficiency of the national innovation infrastructure. Article’s main body. The article discusses the state of information support of the National Innovation Infrastructure. The current legislation and powers of state authorities and other subjects of the innovation process in the field of information support are analyzed. Examples of information and communication provision of innovative infrastructure are considered. Conclusions are drawn regarding possible ways to increase the efficiency of the national innovation infrastructure. It is expedient to recognize the information and communication support of the innovation infrastructure as a necessary precondition for increasing the economic and scientific potential of the state. Innovation and investment actors seeking to increase their productivity need to navigate large amounts of information to make the most appropriate and justified decisions. This increases the importance of information and communication centers, platforms and other entities that can offer customers structured, relevant, verified and accessible information gathered in one place. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Particular attention should be paid to the need for the state to encourage the exchange of information at the regional and sectoral levels, which can be achieved by strengthening the role of local governments in providing local and regional innovation infrastructures (both by changing legislation and by conducting information campaigns and communication platforms); as well as by encouraging universities to more actively interact with society and business.

In our state there are a number of complex problems in the field of information security that require urgent and radical solution. That’s why theoretical, methodological and political research of the problem of information security in Ukraine, which is experiencing a crisis phase of its development, is becoming especially relevant today. In order to develop an effective system of national information security, a detailed study of the experience of the leading countries of the world, which carry out effective information protection of their states and citizens, is necessary. Today there are national information security systems that have really proven their effectiveness and structural and functional perfection. Indeed, the successful development of a democratic state and civil society is possible only if the information resources are properly used and the state policy is implemented, which would ensure a high level of national information security. In the modern world, the basic principles and tools for the formation of effective information protection of the national security space have been developed already. At the same time, Ukraine needs to apply adequately the foreign experience of the most successful countries in this regard, correctly transforming it taking into account national specificity and the unique role of Ukraine in modern geopolitics. As an important indicator of the protection of citizens, society and state, information security is an integral part of national security. Therefore, its determination mainly focuses on preventing harmful effects that may result in various information threats, as well as eliminating and overcoming those effects with the least possible harm to society and humans. In this aspect, the study of not only the philosophical and phenomenological and socio-psychological determinants of information security of citizens, but also political and legal resources and mechanisms of protection of the information space of the state in the conditions of the functioning of the global information society acquires a special significance. А content analysis of the notion «information security» as a form of national security aimed at ensuring human rights and freedoms in relation to free information access, creation and implementation of secure information technologies and protection of the property rights of all participants of information activities, includes consideration of possible diversions in this area, especially at the international level. Today there is a situation of incompleteness of formation and fragmentary filling of the information space content of the country and the legislative base in our society. The efficiency of the information weapon itself has increased too quickly due to the rapid information circulation and the spread of information networks. As a result, mass media forms the «mass» person of our time, in turn this fact displaces traditional direct contacts, by dissociating people and replacing them by computers and television. At the same time it gives rise to apathy, uncritical attitude and indifference, it complicates the adequate orientation, causing the social disorientation. Informative safety has the human measuring. Therefore an important role in opposition to destructive external and internal informative influences is played by education of citizens. Her proper level called to provide the state and civil society. An in fact uneducated population easily is under destructive influence of informative threats of the modern global world. Unfortunately, Ukraine, does not have sufficient resources and technologies for adequate opposition to the external threats. Taking into account it strategy of forming of the national system of informative safety of our state can be only the maximal leveling of destructive influences from the side of external informative threats. To the end it is necessary to carry out democratic reforms Ukraine, generate civil society, to provide functioning of the legal state and increase of political and civil culture of population. At the same time it is necessary to bear reformers in a mind, that global nature of informative society predetermines rapid transformation of external threats in internal, converting them into permanent calls which are opened out within the limits of national in a civilized manner-informative and socio-political space. Besides modern global informative systems, mass medias, network facilities do a limit between external and internal threats almost unnoticeable.

The article analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of decentralization as a foundation for the formation of local governments in Ukraine. The importance of introducing the reform of decentralization of power on the path of development of Ukraine as a democratic, social, legal state is proved. The activity of local self-government in the conditions of decentralization is currently a priority among the reforms in Ukraine, as new trends in state building of our country, formation of civil society institutions, optimization of the system of local self-government determine new conditions for decentralization. Traditionally, a constant view of decentralization as a process in which independent units that form the bearers of local self-government are formed in a centralized state requires the development of new approaches to the analysis of its content and, accordingly, the search for new opportunities to achieve the goal. The role of decentralization in the formation of the institution of local self-government is crucial. After all, decentralization is a kind of management system, in which part of the functions of central government is transferred to local governments. Decentralization is one of the forms of democracy development, which at the same time preserves the unity of the state and its institutions while expanding the possibilities of local self-government. It aims to activate the population to meet their own needs, to narrow the sphere of state influence on society, to reduce expenditures on the maintenance of the state apparatus. This process promotes direct democracy, as it involves the transfer of control of a number of local affairs directly into the hands of stakeholders. Thus, we can say that decentralization helps to build the civil society we so strive for. As a result of local government reform and decentralization of power, the basis of the new system of local self-government should be united territorial communities, which are formed on a voluntary basis in accordance with the statutory procedure with their own self-government bodies, including executive bodies. The reform should help improve the lives of Ukrainian citizens, as well as build a legal, modern, efficient and, most importantly, competitive European state.

E-government is a form of public administration which promotes efficiency, openness and transparency of public authorities and local governments with the use of information and telecommunications technologies to form a new type of state focused on meeting the needs of citizens. E-government is studied as a way, a form, the concept, system and mechanism of cooperation between the state (public administration) and public sectors (civil society). As a method for legal communication between civil society and public administration, e-government plays the role of a means of public self-government, which involves interactivity and continuity of interaction between citizens and the state, the presence of public control over the activities of public authorities. This article is dedicated to reveal the role of e-government for realizing the goals of legal communication between its participants in public life.

Managerial Culture

The ways of development and structural changes of the Ukrainian society also affected the public administration, which should gradually be transformed into a more open one in the dialogue with the civil society, to become public. Public administration, if it is effective, must fully provide, satisfy, and regulate the activities of society, state institutions, local governments, civil society institutions, labor collectives, and so on. In addition, it is also important to say that the changes and transformations that take place in management affect the development of new principles of management itself in practice, and the modern perception and use of social values in the management process. The outlined changes and transformations determine and, in some way, promote the processes of effective approach to the problems of research of modern directions of formation, development and comprehension of managerial culture. Mostly, this process is related to the real life of society, the state, government agencies, civil society institutions, effective social cooperation between the state and civil society, and so on. In fact, the formation of the components of managerial culture, its place and role in public administration largely depend on these factors. We understand managerial culture as a socio-political phenomenon, which in the process of its formation, is structured into a sufficient public institution, which has an impact on management policy by the state, society, various groups, local communities, social organizations, etc. Hence, the importance of managerial culture increases, which is formed during a certain socio-historical time. We realize that a manager already has some established qualities of managerial culture. Its shaping, and subsequent formation, occurs in a variety of socio-cultural circumstances, the environment, are both organized and spontaneous. The professional activity and work of a public manager depends on it in many respects. Based on this, the tasks of studying managerial culture from the standpoint of new views of the transition to public administration; identification of perspective areas for both scientific and theoretical analysis, for practical application are crucially important today.

Human rights issues are present today in almost every area of society and, accordingly, occupy a special place in it. Due to the fact that modern Ukraine is in a transitional state of creating legal, state and public institutions, the process of formation of civil society requires the identification of the nature of legal relations in a transitional period. After all, relations in civil society should be formed on the basis of awareness of the inalienability and non-repudiation of natural human rights. They should be based on the positive legislation of the state. They are the key to the effectiveness of the entire system of social relations. Ensuring human rights is the criterion by which the achieved level of democracy in the state is assessed. The beginning of this process can be called consolidation in the Basic Law of the provision that a person, his life and health, honor and dignity, integrity and security are recognized as the highest social value, and determining the priority of universal values. At the same time, the needs of the present, in fact, directs the development of modern law, is the development of certain general legal standards that allow us to move on to a new qualitative coexistence of nations in the modern world on substantial humanistic principles. In addition to examining the established mechanisms and specifics of protecting everyday human rights, the article examined the new human rights that exist in post-modern society, which today are called the rights of the “fourth generation”.
