The article presents the author’s interpretation of Petrine reforms of higher management in Russia. The author of the article asks the question, how successful was the attempt made by Peter I to create a rational system of public administration in Russia according to Western models? Among the main features of Peter’s reformation, the author highlights the lack of a clear and well-thought-out plan for the reforms carried out by Peter I, most of which were mainly “experimental” in nature, were carried out hastily and were subordinated to the tasks of the ongoing war with Sweden. Based on the analysis of the transformations carried out at the beginning of the XVIII century in the system of higher administration, the author of the article concludes about the strengthening of the personal principle in public administration during the reign of Peter I, which casts doubt on the widespread opinion about the formation of a rational system of public administration during the reforms carried out by Peter I. According to the author of the article, the use of Weber’s concept of “patrimonialism” (“patrimonial bureaucracy”) as a special type of domination based on the principle of personal loyalty to the patrimonial ruler (monarch) may become more correct in this regard when describing the Peter’s administrative system.

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.

Historically, there have been three paradigs of public management, namely, the Machiavelli-Hobbes Paradign (MHP), the Wilson-Weber Paradigm (WWP), and the Ostron-Hayek Paradigm (OHP). These paradigms have different characteristics ad face different challenges. After more than 100 years of development throughout the western countries, the WWP has achived its utmost, having emerged as an obstacle to further development. Given this, Western coutries are now embracing the OHP, and the New Public Management is a reform that is fostrering this transformation. In China, however, the situation is very differnt. Due to the feudal traditions and the dominant governance ethod (rule by man, not by law), public administration in China contains several aspects of the MHP. Currently, China's most pressing challenge encompasses instituting reforms that will cultivate a public administrative system where the rule of law prevails. The change to bureaucracy and establishment of WWP is ultimately more critical than the New Public Management.

AbstractThe international community of public administration and administrative sciences shows a great interest in the basic features of the German administrative system. The German public administration with its formative decentralisation (called: administrative federalism) is regarded as a prime example of multilevel governance and strong local self-government. Furthermore, over the past decades, the traditional profile of the German administrative system has significantly been reshaped and remoulded through reforms, processes of modernisation and the transformation process in East Germany. Studies on the German administrative system should focus especially on key institutional features of public administration; changing relationships between public administration, society and the private sector; administrative reforms at different levels of the federal system; and new challenges and modernisation approaches, such as digitalisation, open government and better regulation. The publication is following this structure in four parts with 22 chapters.

The paper presents the services conference as one of the forms of conducting administrative proceedings. The starting point is to present an institution shaped in the Italian procedural law in the light of its administrative system and its evolutionary transformations. The paper involves a comprehensive analysis of the services conference in the context of the competence of public administration authorities, the procedural guarantees enjoyed by parties to the proceedings and decisions that may be taken in the course of the services conference, as well as the legal possibility of their change. One of the assumptions of the paper is the possibility of recognition of the services conference as a kind of a resultant of proceedings in a form of hearing, and the mode of co-operation between the bodies. As a result, it should lead to presenting prospects and opportunities to adapt the institution of the services conference in the Central European countries also as a future solution for the Slovak Code of Administrative Procedure.

The ever-increasing pace of development, experienced in all aspects of life, has become a major factor of our times. Public administration is no exception to this tendency. I have chosen the government windows (and other miscellaneous administrative bodies operating alongside them) established in the past five years as the topic of my study exactly because of this – their development is expected to remain unbroken in the future as well. During my research, I paid special attention to past and current legal changes, aiming to provide a comprehensive view on the establishment, operation, and evolution of the integrated administration points in Hungary. My study also covers the current state and the expected developments of domestic e-Administration solutions. Finally, I also offer some conclusions and recommendations regarding the large-scale deployment of the planned single-window administrative system.

Administrative Tradition

The development of the Italian administrative system showed some initial weaknesses: Italy was a latecomer, not having a strong administrative tradition; a substantial role of lawyers and legal administrative formalism strongly affected the evolution of the administration; the interaction between administration and politics was not always virtuous. All these factors had an impact on some of the expected outputs: we show as an example the evolution of the length, and quality, of civil justice decisions. Some reactions to these weaknesses-such as the development of "parallel" administrations, less subject to formal constraints-accompanied and sustained the country industrial growth at the beginning of the twentieth century and in the 1950s. But then again the inefficiencies and inadequacy of the responses prevailed. Parallel administrations slowly became similar to the formal public administration; overregulation, partly a reaction to inefficient law enforcement, followed; corruption strongly increased. Reforming the system proved more and more difficult.
