Public administration of a modern city is the main point in determining the formation vector of the national country and law. The implementation of state and urban governance has common patterns based on the history of the formation and development of state and legal institutions. This, in turn, allows for a fresh look at the understanding of the concept of regional policy and public administration. The public administration issues of a modern city are controversial in the legal literature. In this article, the author examines the public administration of a modern city, analyzes its legal nature and place in the system of state and municipal government, and offers the author’s vision of understanding the public administration of a modern city. In the pre­sent research, the author examines public administration using the example of Russian cities and also studies features of a city as a concept itself, these features are not exclusive for the Russian legal system. Analyzing regulatory documents, as well as domestic literature, we can conclude that public administration is considered in two aspects, as an activity and as a legal relationship. According to the author, the public administration of a modern city should be considered as a set of actions by state and local authorities, self-government bodies and their officials to ensure the life of the city’s residents with the aim of its sustainable development. Legal regulation of public urban management in Russian legislation occurs indirectly through the regulation of implementation of local self-government. It is concluded that the definition of specific goals and objectives of Russian cities public administration affects their socio-economic development, however, at present, the Russian legislator has not defined the goals and objectives of urban management, and insufficient attention is paid to the strategic development of modern cities in Russia. The research methodology is based on the dialectical method, which made it possible to determine the public administration features of a modern city and its place in the system of state and municipal administration. The use of the comparative (comparative legal) method helped to identify the distinctive features that characterize the public administration of a modern city. With the help of historical and prognostic methods, the generality of the implementation laws of state and city government was substantiated and proved. The use of the formal legal method made it possible to study public urban governance separately from other legal activities.

The article is devoted to research of theoretical problems of the concepts of the subject and object of public marketing. The definitions of these concepts are considered in the article, the evolution of their development is studied. The article provides an analysis of the main approaches to the notion of subjects and objects of public marketing, their relationship and role in the processes of public marketing. The authors proposes concrete approaches to their systematization. These approaches allow us to identify specific types of public marketing and their main characteristics. Relying on the analysis of the concept of “subject of public (state) management”, it is concluded that as bodies of state marketing, most often act as executive bodies of state power. In this case, the following levels of marketing subjects in the system of public administration are allocated: the highest level of executive power; Branch central bodies of executive power; Local government bodies; Separate government agencies. It is noted that the diversity of subjects of public marketing is explained, first of all, by the dependence on the tasks of the state and municipal government, the possibilities of introducing the marketing concept of these subjects and certain characteristics of the said objects of state marketing. It is noted that the concept of “subject of public marketing” is not always the identical notion of “subject of public administration”. First, not all public authorities are subjects of state marketing. In some cases, this is not appropriate, for example, in the activities of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine or the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. Secondly, state marketing is just one of many alternative management concepts, which is not always the most effective in the public administration system.

The purpose of the study is to solve a number of problems, including the need to: analyze the general concept of interaction and concepts of its scientific understanding; define interaction as a legal category; to form the author's vision of the legal category "interaction of administrative courts with bodies with public administration bodies and the public". The article defines that interaction as an object of administrative and legal support is a joint activity of two or more clearly defined subjects of law, regulated by the norms of administrative law, coordinated by purpose, task, place, time and method, aimed at a certain result, and namely – the achievement of the goal, the realization of goals, the solution of specific tasks and objectives, or the preservation and maintenance of the proper existence and functioning of someone or something. It is proposed to understand the interaction of administrative courts with public administration bodies and the public to carry out in the manner and within the limits set by current national legislation joint and agreed on a number of factors (purpose, tasks, time, place, form, methods, etc.) activities, on the one hand, administrative courts, and, on the other hand – public administration and/or the public, which is due to the competence of these entities and aimed at a positive result and consequences, which are to achieve the goals and objectives of such interaction. It was found that the main features of the interaction of administrative courts with public administration bodies and the public are: are joint activities; such activities must be regulated by law; activities must be coordinated; coherence occurs by choosing a clear goal, objectives, time, place, forms and methods of interaction; arises between clearly defined entities – administrative courts and public administration bodies and the public; a prerequisite for interaction should be the presence of an appropriate amount of competence that allows the implementation of such interaction; should be aimed at a clear result, which is to achieve the goals and objectives of such interaction; should be aimed at positive consequences.

Legal coherence and predictable decision-making are the cornerstones of Finnish administrative law. The aim of this research is to analyze the factors that make administrative decisions unpredictable in Finland today. Why is the challenge so significant for the authorities? The factor analysis revealed six main features affecting predictability in the legal regulation of Finnish public governance: the increasing use of soft law, the devolution of government, deregulation, the changing role of the individual, the blurring of the division between the public and the private sector and the influence of international and EU-law.

This article highlights current issues of effectiveness and efficiency of the public administration system. Using systemic and synergetic approaches, methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparative analysis it is established that the effectiveness of management is a result compared with the cost of achieving it (they include not only direct costs of management, but also implementation management decisions). At the same time, the tools of public administration can be divided into four types: organizational structures; belief; rules; financial resources, and their capabilities – two: external, which include the legal framework, leadership and resources, and internal in the composition of people, processes and strategies. At the same time, its effectiveness should be assessed in two ways: on the one hand, by assessing the available opportunities and the extent to which they are used to achieve organizational results (socalled internal efficiency), and on the other – by assessing the final achievements (external). The organizational results of public administration should be considered in two aspects. On the one hand, it is the implementation within the legal framework in accordance with the chosen strategy and under a certain guidance of such opportunities as resources, which means their allocation in accordance with the goals and objectives of the organization; processes and structures, which means their organization to achieve goals and objectives; and people, is the change of certain human factors, the emergence or resolution of existing conflicts, and so on. At the same time, the criteria for the effectiveness of public administration: the purposefulness of the organization and functioning of the public administration system; spending time on management issues and management operations; the state of functioning of the public administration system, its subsystems and other organizational structures; the complexity of the organization of the subject of public administration, its subsystems and units; the cost of maintaining and ensuring the proper functioning of such a management system. Therefore, based on the most common interpretation of the concept of efficiency, it is considered as a result compared with the cost of obtaining it. At the same time, the efficiency of management is a relative characteristic of a particular social governing system, reflected in various indicators that have both quantitative and qualitative features, the achievement of which is especially important in the development of modern civilized system market relations in modern Ukraine and its fustified relentless European integration aspirations.

Events that took place in Ukraine in 2014 transparently demonstrated the maladjustment of the national legal and administrative system to the challenges of hybrid warfare in times of peace. Although it took into account the possibility of direct military threats, it proved not to be ready for withstanding unconventional pressure. This state of affairs significantly weakened the state’s ability to resist and led to a number of dramatic political miscalculations, organizational failures, and acute social problems. The subsequent update of the national public law and administrative system made it possible to improve the situation, but at the same time it revealed a number of pressing issues related to the need to strike a balance between the state’s commitment to ensure the protection of human rights and the necessity to protect national security. In this sense the experience of Ukraine is instructive for many countries of the world, especially for those that are the target of the geopolitical ambitions of the modern Russia. The paper discusses the public law of Ukraine in recent years with the view of highlighting some key problems of legal regulation, as well as identifying some promising ways to develop public administration so that it is capable of effectively coping with the threats of hybrid warfare.

The subject. This paper is devoted to the study of the legal nature of fees charged by the public authorities for the provision of public services.The main aim of the paper is to substantiate the answer on the question is this fee a price or a fiscal charge?The methodology of the study includes general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, description) as well as particular academic methods (formal-legal method, interpretation of legal acts). The decisions of Russian Constitutional Court are also analyzed.The main results and scope of their application. The article focuses on analysis of the features and functions of the government, ratio of functions of the government and functions of the public authorities, their powers. State power is exercised by bodies of state power or specially authorized entities on behalf of the state and in the public interest. It excludes the exchange nature of the relations when these bodies and entities implement state power. The nature of the establishment and collection of the fee excludes the equivalence between the size of fee and the size of collection costs of the authorized entity. Therefore, there is no equivalence in the relations on payment of the fee, and therefore the fee has no compensatory character. In turn, the nature of the actions performed by the authorized entity on behalf of and in the interests of the public legal entity, excludes their absolute determi-nation by actions of the payer of the fee. The results of research may become a crucial point for future research of legal regulation of fees.Conclusions. If a public authority carries out activities related to implementation of governmental and authoritative powers, the fee is based on public law. If an activity can not be associated with implementation of governmental and authoritative powers, the fee can be subject to civil law regulation.

The concept and legal nature of public administration have been analyzed. The analysis of research works has allowed to state that the term "public administration" is considered in two aspects - structural and procedural (or functional) where public administration should be understood as executive bodies, local self-government bodies, as well as entities endowed by the state with public administration functions that perform public administration functions and whose purpose is to ensure the interests of the state and society as a whole, and their activities carried out within the law. The principles of administrative and legal regulation of public administration in Ukraine and the concepts, principles of administrative and legal regulation of public administration have been studied. The author has found out that the essential features of public administration are: public administration is subordinated to political power (i.e., parliament, head of state); public administration ensures the implementation and application of laws (i.e., implements the political decisions of parliament); public administration acts (should act) in the public interest; public administration is endowed with the prerogatives of public authority (that is, powers that allow mandatory instructions to be given to individuals). While the system of central executive bodies consists of the ministries of Ukraine and other central executive bodies the system of central executive bodies is a component of the system of executive bodies, the highest body of which is the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The local state administration is a local executive body and is part of the system of executive bodies. The local state administration, within the limits of its powers, exercises executive power on the territory of the respective administrative-territorial unit, as well as exercises the powers delegated to it by the relevant council.
