In such circumstances, special attention is paid to the effectiveness of public administration. The article discusses some of the significant factors impacting the effectiveness of public administration, such as the professionalization of the state apparatus, the legibility of the institutional framework, the optimization of information flows and corporate culture. In accordance with this, on the basis of work experience in the public administration system and analysis of civil service reforms in the countries of the region, the main challenges and possible solutions are shown. In the professionalization of the state apparatus, the importance of the merit principles in the selection and promotion stages of personnel through the empowerment of human resource (HR) management services, the integrity of tools and approaches at all stages of selection process, and the responsibility of the selection board are noted. The author focuses on the need to ensure a balance of powers, responsibility and resources, delimitation of powers between political and administrative civil servants, optimization of information flows. Particular importance is paid to corporate culture, which is one of the main factors affecting the efficiency of the state apparatus.

This article examines coercive capacity and its impact on autocratic regime stability in the context of post-Soviet Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, and Ukraine. In the post-Cold War era, different types of coercive acts require different types of state power. First, high intensity and risky measures – such as firing on large crowds or stealing elections – necessitate high degrees of cohesion or compliance within the state apparatus. Second, effective low intensity measures – including the surveillance and infiltration of opposition, and various forms of less visible police harassment – require extensive state scope or a well-trained state apparatus that penetrates large parts of society. Coercive state capacity, rooted in cohesion and scope, has often been more important than opposition strength in determining whether autocrats fall or remain in power. Thus, the regime in Armenia that was backed by a highly cohesive state with extensive scope was able to maintain power in the face of highly mobilized opposition challenges. By contrast, regimes in Georgia where the state lacked cohesion and scope fell in the face of even weakly mobilized opposition. Relatively high scope but only moderate cohesion in Belarus and Ukraine has made autocratic regimes in these countries generally more effective at low intensity coercion to prevent the emergence of opposition than at high intensity coercion necessary to face down serious opposition challenges.

Information Today

This chapter highlights how the field of public administration was invented to achieve the goal of leaders to gain control, to establish mastery over their circumstances, so that the potential of American democracy could be realized. For leaders, the first aspect of mastery consists of knowing the territory over which sovereignty is claimed. The next step toward mastery is gaining a deeper understanding of the environment in which states operate. However, mastery requires more than information and understanding. Leaders need tools to influence the dynamics of systems; or, in other words, to influence circumstances. People outside the state apparatus need to be induced to change their behavior, whether by persuasion, material inducement, or threat of punishment. Whatever the preferred method of influence, leaders must have the administrative capacity to apply it: they must establish their own bureaucracies or delegate responsibilities to other public or private organizations. The chapter then explains that the extent of control enjoyed by leaders today is vastly greater than it was a century ago. For example, advances in information technology are producing ever-larger amounts of data about the behavior of governed populations. Indeed, the obstacle to mastery may no longer be a dearth of information. Today, the obstacle might be a tsunami of information that overwhelms the capacity of leaders to make sense of it and respond appropriately.

This chapter summarizes the propositions that are emphasized within the proposed macro-level approach to public administration. These propositions suggest that the fundamental unit of political organization is the state. Every state has leaders; that is, a relatively small group of people who have substantial influence over the ordering of state goals and the means by which those goals are pursued. Generally, leaders try to maintain and improve their own positions within the state apparatus; increase power and legitimacy within the state system; increase power and legitimacy within the state's own territory; and increase national prosperity. In addition, leaders ought to advance human rights for the population that is subject to their authority. The behavior of leaders is guided by governance strategies that describe priorities and the means by which those priorities will be pursued. The chapter then details the aspects of the governing environment which must be taken into account as leaders set priorities and decide how those priorities will be pursued. Ultimately, scholars and practitioners in the field of public administration should be experts in the overall design, construction, administration, and renovation of those institutions that constitute a state. They should use this expertise to help leaders craft governing strategies that are effective, durable, and normatively defensible.

Modernization changes the basic target, functional, structural principles of building public administration, thereby there is a paradigm shift in understanding its place and mission in the state-market-civil society relationship. The bureaucratic model of public administration belongs to the old paradigm, the new government and network models belong to the new paradigm. These models are contradictory intertwined under the influence of globalization and decentralization on modernization processes in public administration, which creates new problems in adapting administrative hierarchies (bureaucracies) to global challenges and the requirements of devolution. The problem arises of integrating new horizontal connections (networks) into traditional vertical structures. At the same time, the problem of the state’s ability to increase the efficiency of officials’s actions in conditions of rapid environmental transformation is exacerbating. In addition, there is a problem of scale, traditional for public administration, i.e. the correspondence of functions and resources at different managerial levels to the nature and volume of existing tasks. The solution of these problems at the transit stage largely depends on the nature of the emerging institutional paths and the reform strategy, its focus on maintaining a balance of stability and changes based on the experience of previous transformations. The managerial model of priority for many reformers, with its inevitable decentralization carried out in an institutional environment that has not reached the necessary level of self-organization and accountability, will obviously entail the progressive loss of autonomy by the state bureaucracy from special interest groups. Strengthening the role of informal managerial practices in the face of non-established norms of administrative ethics will not provide unbiased impersonal law enforcement. However, criticism of the new government does not make the choice of bureaucratic or network models justified. The priority is not the choice of one or another theoretical model of modernization as its goal, but the process of developing a policy for its implementation. The criterion of manageability, reflecting the development of modernization abilities of public administration, provides guidance for institutional construction.
