The problem of instability of industries, clusters and states influences the countries’ economies. Unavoidable changes became an attribute of the strategic planning at every level. As a result, an effective tool is needed to evaluate stability at different levels in such a way that will make it possible to manage the changes. In this paper the concept of Macroeconomic Stabilization Pentagon (MSP) was analyzed for its applicability for the EU countries of low-an-middle-income economies including Ukraine. The data analysis brought new understanding of the assessment of the public policies’ effectiveness. The model has proven its efficiency not just in the sphere of public administration, but also for the micro level management. The authors proposed the Microeconomic Stabilization Pentagon to be implemented in the research at the level of enterprises

Regulatory Challenges

In a multilevel governance system such as the European Union (EU) policy processes at one level may create challenges and dilemmas at lower levels. Multilevel governance involves a multiplicity of regulatory regimes and succeeding governance ambiguities for national actors. These regulatory challenges and ensuring governance dilemmas increasingly affect contemporary European public administration. These challenges and dilemmas are captured by the term turbulence. The inherent state prerogative to formulate and implement public policy is subject to an emergent and turbulent EU administration. Organized turbulence is captured by the supply of independent and integrated bureaucratic capacities at a “European level.” Throughout history (1952 onwards) the EU system has faced shifting hostile and uncertain environments, and responded by erecting turbulent organizational solutions of various kinds. Studying turbulence opens an opportunity to rethink governance in turbulent administrative systems such as the public administration of the EU.

To what extent can the public service bargain framework be applied to non-partisan ministerial advisors? Public service bargains are defined as ‘explicit or implicit agreements between public servants – the civil or uniformed services of the state – and those they serve’. The public service bargain framework has increasingly been used as an analytical tool with which to examine the elements of the bargain as experienced by various actors in different jurisdictions. The elements of the public service bargain framework are explored through the experiences of a distinct subgroup of non-partisan advisors – portfolio private secretaries – serving in the politicised environment of ministers’ offices. The minister’s office has been characterised as the ‘purple zone’ where politics (represented by the colour blue) and administration (represented by the colour red) converge to transform political will into administrative action. This qualitative research article: briefly reviews the public service bargain literature; describes the actors and setting; gives voice to their experience of the public service bargain; applies the public service bargain heuristic; and reveals new insights into how the public service bargain operates with dual principals. Points for practitioners The public service bargain framework allows for dual principal–single agent relationships within public administration settings. Applying the public service bargain heuristic to this group of non-partisan advisors: enables a view of how the public service bargain operates at different levels (macro, meso and micro); shows that the public service bargain for these advisors has changed over time in response to administrative reforms; and demonstrates that these advisors are professionally and personally affected through the misaligned expectations of dual principals.

Recent years have witnessed a rebirth of interest in the study of local government (or local political systems, depending on one's theoretical orientation). This has been especially true among political Scientists seeking to develop new approaches more readily applicable to the political systems of the so-called emerging nations. It has become apparent to an increasing number of research workers that grandiose macro-theory of the Almond variety, while impressive on paper, may be of very little use in the field.1 Thus an attempt is now being made to return to the micro-level in order to gain greater conceptual clarity, and an understanding of behaviour in political situations. Unfortunately much of the new thrust to develop micro-level theory has been hampered by the continuing use of old, and at least partially outdated, tools, or what I have chosen to call (perhaps unjustifiably) ‘the public-administration approach’.

Romania's accession to the EU depended largely on the ability of Romanian public authorities to implement reforms among public organizations in the country. Globally, however, a successful public administration has become a key factor in determining a nation's competitive advantage. The purpose of this article is to emphasize the efforts of the Romanian public administration to submit to the process of administrative reform and as a consequence to contribute to the creation of an administrative reform strategy based on which Romanian public organizations can be reformed.

RESUMOCom a entrada em vigor da Lei nº 12.846/2013, também conhecida como Lei Anticorrupção, que entre os seus principais dispositivos buscam inovar o ordenamento jurídico pátrio ao disciplinar a responsabilidade administrativa e civil de pessoas jurídicas pela prática de atos contra a administração pública. A importância da legislação sobressai diante da busca de uma nova visão interpretativa e sancionatória com o claro objetivo de alcançar a redução da prática de atos de corrupção, tendo em vista que eliminar tão ignóbil e abjeta prática da realidade brasileira se mostra totalmente impossível. Em face do texto legal recentemente sancionado a Lei nº 12.846/13 passa a exigir que as empresas públicas e privadas venham a se adaptarem às inovações propostas. Como principal consequência da “Lei Anticorrupção” encontra se obrigatoriedade de implantação de mecanismos de prevenção e planejamento estratégico, a fim de monitorarem o relacionamento com a Administração Pública, com o intuito de evitar a aplicação das severas penalidades previstas. Por sua vez, os mecanismos inseridos na Lei anticorrupção tem o escopo de controlar as práticas empresariais, bem como consolidar a integridade das práticas de relacionamento entre as empresas, as quais permitirão alçar um novo patamar de cultura cidadã e ética no âmbito empresarial, que reverterá para toda a sociedade. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Responsabilidade Civil e Administrativa; corrupção; complience; controle administrativo. ABSTRACT With the entry into force of Law No. 12,846 / 2013, also known as the Anti-Corruption Law, which among its main provisions seek to innovate the legal order of the country by disciplining the administrative and civil liability of legal entities for the practice of acts against the public administration. The importance of legislation stands out in the search for a new interpretive and sanctioning vision with the clear objective of achieving a reduction in the practice of acts of corruption, since eliminating such ignoble and abject practice of the Brazilian reality is totally impossible. In light of the recently enacted legal text, Law No. 12.846 / 13 requires that public and private companies adapt to the proposed innovations. As a main consequence of the "AntiCorruption Law", it is mandatory to implement prevention and strategic planning mechanisms in order to monitor the relationship with the Public Administration, in order to avoid the application of severe penalties. In turn, the mechanisms included in the Anti-Corruption Law have the scope to control business practices, as well as to consolidate the integrity of the relationship practices between companies, which will allow to raise a new level of citizen culture and ethics in the business sphere, which will revert for the whole society. KEYWORDS: Civil and Administrative Liability; corruption; complience; administrative control.

The Point of Single Contact, proposed by the EU Services Directive, is a reliable source of electronic processing of information that facilitates the interaction of citizens with the public administration. This paper presents an eFramework designed to improve the communication between the citizens or businesses and the public administration. Using this framework the governments can offer eServices to its citizens, as well as the possibility to interact with various public govern-level services, without the need to directly interact with the involved institutions. An example of such an electronic service would be the possibility to open a business using a single browser. The authors present the architecture as well as technical details for the implementation of such a framework. They also present a pilot application designed to orchestrate the workflow for opening a business. Such a solution is based on state-of-the-art technologies such as InfoPath, SharePoint, BizTalk, and Web Services.

Abstract The paper begins with a short literature review regarding the public governance concept in the EU approach and its methods for establishing a common way to manage different situations for all member states; we discovered that the problems they confront with have to do with good governance and qualitative public administration. In the second part, we developed an econometric model for three Eastern European countries and we found a strong correlation between the total revenues from taxes and social contributions and total gross debt in 2002-2014 period. We ended the paper by emphasizing the conclusions obtained.

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?
