Management Functions

Building upon the practices of the Treasury of Russia as well as other federal executive agencies, this article presents a new approach aimed at improving the efficiency of public administration through the centralization of general management functions within a given body. The set of general functions across public authorities is largely generic, suggesting that the stage involving the optimization of said functions can be regarded as a preliminary one preceding a full-fledged digital transformation of public administration. Functions associated with budget accounting and budget report formation, material and technical support, and personnel, legal and administrative activities dominate in the structure of both federal and local authorities’ general management functions. At the same time, individual government bodies at both the federal and regional levels are all, to some extent, engaged in the optimization of general functions implementation costs through assigning appropriate powers to subordinate agencies. Exemplified by the Treasury of Russia and other public administration bodies, the article systemizes and analyzes the existing approaches within the subject matter. As a result of the analysis, it is deemed advisable to synchronize the activities of public authorities, in particular through coordinating the process at the level of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The Subject

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.

Public-private partnership (PPP) in the conditions of the set strategic tasks by the President of the Russian Federation until 2030 can become one of the sources of attracting financial resources for implementation of the large-scale projects. In this regard, it is relevant to systematize the forms of PPPs and the scope of their application. Based on a study of different views on the essence of PPP, as well as taking into account the development of public administration in Russia, the author proposed the use of public-public-private partnership as a form of development of cooperation between the state, private business and society. The polyformism of PPPs is reflected in the presented classification. Based on the analysis of PPP development in the regional context, hypothesis on the correlation between the level of PPP and the socio-economic development of the subject of the Russian Federation was confirmed.

In 2018, the United Nations Volunteers organization recognized that the governmental support for volunteering is a superior public management practice, offering the much-needed fuel for the integration of volunteering in politics, law-making, and social planning at the government level. The present article analyzes the current situation of governmental support for volunteering at federal, regional, and local levels of public administration in the Russian Federation as a precondition for making coproduction of public services possible. The analysis is based on the scrutiny of documents, a questionnaire survey of Russian volunteers, and an expert poll of public servants and nonprofit organizations (NPO) leaders. The analysis of the state policy of support for volunteering is carried out with respect to the following parameters: the awareness and evaluation of national measures of the governmental support for volunteering, as well as the evaluation of informational, financial, consulting, and organizational measures to support volunteer organizations by regional and municipal civil servants. In a country such as the Russian Federation, where volunteering is a relatively young social phenomenon, public administration needs not only to provide support, but also to administer transformation processes toward sustainable development, relying on the partnership and resources volunteers bring for effectively managing public life.

Relevance. The article is relevant since the recent events have revealed the illusory nature of democratic principles and the independence of private interests in the Russian Federation. The illusion of free choice and democratic procedures disappeared when public authorities declared a state of emergency or self-isolation regime (quarantine during the COVID-2019 pandemic) facing a force that exceeded the resources and capabilities of the government systems. Objective. The article aims at studying a new global model of expanding public law into the sphere of private interests due to strengthening the state regulation of public relations as a new management paradigm. The current model typical of many countries, in particular Russia, can be called a model of an actual emergency. The Russian Federation did not declare de jure state of emergency. Otherwise, public authorities would have to take on big obligations and be responsible for losses (damages, contract failures, suspended trading and production, downsizing, unemployment) of their citizens and businesses. Methods. The main research method was deduction used for studying the legal specifics of expanding public law into the sphere of private interests. The author of the article also used the inductive, comparative-legal and historical methods, as well as the method of systematic scientific analysis. To solve the task, it is necessary to consider the legal foundations and features of strengthening state regulation as a new management paradigm. Results. Analyzing the actual state of emergency experienced by most countries and considering the actions of the Russian authorities, the author claims that public law serves as the basis of public administration but invades the sphere of private interests. It begins to manage it in a state of emergency to preserve the existing state system and its integrity. As a result, private law ceases to be independent and must obey the rules of public law. At the same time, the democratic traditions and principles proclaimed in the Constitution and other laws, human rights and civil freedoms are instantly absorbed by public law and become a legal fiction for a certain time.

The Constitution of the Russian Federation assigns to the President a leading role in the system of higher federal bodies of state power, which requires clear grounds and precise procedure for temporary exercise of presidential powers. The Constitution assigns the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation as the subject authorized to temporarily replace the President in all cases when he is unable to fulfill his duties. At the same time, the constitutional norms do not regulate the situation when the duties of the President cannot be performed either by himself or the Chairman of the Government. The article discusses the issues of subjects that in the above case are authorized to legitimately assume the temporary exercise of powers of the head of state, and concludes that it is necessary to improve the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in terms of expanding the list of subjects for temporary exercise of duties of the President and introducing constitutional control over the transfer of presidential powers, and to improve the legislation norms and their implementation practice in terms of regulating the procedure for the temporary fulfillment of duties of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.
