Technological changes taking place under the flag of digitalization affect not only the sphere of technology itself. Digitalization is not a politically neutral process, a simple means of increasing labor productivity. It has a decisive influence on all spheres of life of modern society, creating additional conditions for their networking. The network architecture of emerging relations includes not only social and political agents, but also the technical objects themselves, which begin to perform the functions of mediators in interaction. There is a pessimistic and optimistic direction in assessing the ongoing transformations and the role of the technical component in them. Some politicians and scientists talk about a new cybernetic totalitarianism, while others believe that in modern conditions not only challenges arise, but also prospects for more meaningful and effective development are being formed. The article focuses on one important aspect of the topic related to the relation of digitalization, its inclusion in the public administration system and the emerging problems of public governability. Trends in the impact of digitalization on public governability are considered, four models of network governability efficiency are analyzed: interactive, contingent, multidimensional, socio-technical. Particular attention is paid to the problem of cooperation between government and citizens, which ensure the effectiveness of governance based on co-governance networks.

The article studies the main stages and features of the evolution of the public administration system in the Republic of Estonia after 1992. This paper presents brief geographical and socio-economic characteristics that largely determine the development of the country’s public administration. The evolution of the institution of the presidency, executive, and legislative powers are considered. The role of parliament and mechanisms for coordinating the interests of different groups of the population for the development of the country is especially emphasized. The authors analyze the state and administrative reforms of recent years, which were aimed at improving the quality of services provided to the population, increasing the competitiveness of different parts of Estonia, as well as optimizing public spending and management structure. The introduction of digital technologies into the sphere of public administration, healthcare, education, and the social sphere is of a notable place. Such phenomena as e-residency, e-federation, and other digital projects are considered. The development of a digital system of interstate interaction between Estonia and Finland made it possible to create the world’s first e-federation, and the digitization of all strategically important information and its transfer to cloud storage speaks of the creation of the world’s first e-residency, a special residence of data outside the country’s borders to ensure digital continuity and statehood in the event of critical malfunctions or external threats.

Researched are systemic aspects of the process of implementing national projects in Russia. Attention is focused on effectiveness of solving key problems of development of the public administration system in the context of the relationship between the state and society under modern conditions. The institution of public control in Russia is characterized through prerequisites of formation, organizational and legal status and main functions. The work defines the place and role of the institution of public opinion in the system of public administration and public control, substantiates its regulatory mechanisms, factors and agents of influence. In the aspect of systemic relationship between public administration and public control, the specificity of implementation of national projects in the transforming Russian society is revealed. A sociological vision of the “reset” of conceptual foundations of interrelationships between the public administration system and the institution of public control both at the stage of “entering” the space of national projects and in the process of their implementation is presented. It has been proved, that at the present stage the main integrating factor is consolidation of society through an updated "state-society contract". The analysis of historical and modern practices of public participation made it possible to draw a conclusion about the increase in the function of “co-management” of public control bodies in the interaction of state and public structures.

This chapter discusses the impact of the pan-European general principles of good administration on Armenian administrative law. The chapter claims that successful reform of Armenian public administration is an indispensable prerequisite for successful implementation of these principles but that there is still a long way to go. Besides this, the Armenian legal order is generally open to being shaped and influenced by the said principles and demonstrates numerous successful examples thereof. Nevertheless, the chapter highlights that usually the Armenian legislator is the only one to transfer these principles into Armenian law. It describes the reception of the pan-European general principles of good administration as still being under development in Armenia. The chapter concludes that in order to guarantee the full extent of ‘good administration’ it remains necessary that general reforming of Armenian public administration be successfully implemented.

This paper will evaluate the current situation and role of the Hungarian (administrative) lower-middle level and make projections about its future. Centralisation efforts since 2010 have had a non-negligible impact on the administrative and non-administrative (common institution maintenance, micro-regional development policy) tasks assigned to the lower-middle level. However, it may be argued that the transition to the Web 3.0 era – the era of the most advanced, most intelligent and customised web technologies – may put such centralisation efforts into a new context. Revitalisation of formations similar to the multi-functional micro-regional associations of local self-governments which largely disappeared after 1 January 2013 may be justifiable in the forthcoming period in order to promote local synergies. If this is correct, a rethink of the public administration system at the lower-middle level may become a very important task for the public administration as along with regional discourse.

Today, our state is undergoing significant shifts and transformations of the outdated social system, affecting all spheres of the country’s functioning. Such shifts are taking place all over the world and are due to the presence and active influence of globalization processes. World globalization prompts all countries of the world to revise the outdated postulates of their national policy towards realizing the importance of adapting international goals and values recognized by the world community, which are designed not only to ensure the harmonious development of an individual country, but of the whole world. Globalization acts as a factor in leveling static ties between countries, expanding the boundaries of interaction. Basically, the vector of activity of globalization processes is inclined towards the formation of a unified system of socio-economic and political-legal forms of state structure. At the same time, a qualitatively new formation of branched transnational systems of ties is taking place, as a result of which qualitatively new “social actors” enter the world arena, which in turn form new communities, communications and channels of interaction. Thus, the influence of globalization processes is becoming a powerful factor in the democratization of society, increased transparency in government circles and the establishment of equality in society. The purpose of the article is to characterize the main features of the impact of socio-economic globalization on the public administration system in the field of higher education. It is determined that the process of globalization, like other processes, has its own life cycle, which, in our opinion, should be considered as a vicious circle, that is, it has an end, but which, at the same time, becomes the beginning of a new cycle. It has been proven that globalization has led to the need for teaching intercultural communication skills. To move at the same pace with the world, we must start, not turn away from the idea of globalization and its impact on the curriculum of higher education, and strive to understand how to educate citizens who fit into a global way of life. A growing number of case studies point to the complexity of the impact of globalization on the future of higher education. In the future, attention should be paid to determining the main factors of the impact of socio-economic globalization on the public administration system in the field of higher education.
