O artigo trata das redefinições no papel do Estado, que reorganizam as fronteiras entre o público e privado e materializam-se das mais diferentes formas na educação básica pública, e suas implicações para o processo de democratização da educação. No caso brasileiro, muito lutamos no período de abertura política pela democratização com direitos sociais materializados em políticas. Mas, ao mesmo tempo em que avançamos nos direitos conquistados, também foi naturalizado que o Estado não seria mais o principal executor.Palavras-chave: parceria público-privada em educação; política educacional; democratização da educação.The article deals with the redefinitions of the role of the state, which reorganize the boundaries between public and private that materialize in many different forms in basic public education, and their implications for the process of democratization of education. In the Brazilian case, we have struggled so hard since the so-called ‘opening period’ of political democratization with social rights materialized in public policies. However, while we have advanced in the conquered rights, at the same time the idea of the State as the main provider no longer prevails.Keywords: public-private partnership in education; educational policy; democratization of education

The evolution of relations between the institutions of state and entrepreneurship in developed and developing countries at various stages of economic development has proved that their constructive interaction is a critical factor for successful socio-economic development. The constantly increasing gap between the needs and requirements of the population to public services, infrastructure, and budget constraints have resulted in the development of state-business partnership structures. The transforming role of the state in the economy necessitates the importance of finding alternatives to direct regulation of economic processes. One of them is the institute of public-private partnership (hereinafter referred to as PPP), which allows attracting additional resources to the economy, redistributing risks between the state and the business sector, directing entrepreneurial efforts to address important social and economic goals and objectives while maintaining the powers and functions of the state. Foreign experience shows that the implementation of PPP projects ensures significant cost savings.

Expanding the sphere of interaction between the state and the medical business is one of the priorities for the development of the medical services market in the Russian Federation. The healthcare reform, based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, digital healthcare, and high medical technologies, is primarily aimed at improving the quality of medical services and the availability of highly qualified medical care for all segments of the population. Accessibility, quality and timeliness of medical care are the main postulates of the daily activities of a private medical institution. during the period of increasing crisis phenomena in the economy and social sphere, private medicine can provide significant assistance to the state health service, become the “lifesaver” for the domestic health protection system, which today is mostly represented by the public sector. One of the most effective mechanisms of interaction between the state and private business, adopted all over the world, is the system of public-private partnership. The purpose of the study is to analyze possible forms and mechanisms of interaction between the medical business and the state within the framework of public-private partnership. M a t e r i a l s a n d m e t h o d s . The assessment of the current regulatory framework was carried out, a significant volume of domestic and foreign literary publications was analyzed, the main theoretical hypothesis was formulated on the basis of the systematic scientific method and a research plan was built. R e s u l t s . In the course of the conducted research, objective main cause-and-effect factors affecting the development of an adequate system of public-private partnership in the field of medicine and healthcare have been identified and analyzed, in terms of the distribution of benefits, costs and risks carried out on the principles of long-term, voluntary, manageability, legal validity between a private medical organization and federal and/or municipal executive authorities. The main causal factors include insufficient funding, an unfavorable demographic situation, low efficiency of using the resource base, a reduction in the bed fund under the guise of “optimization”, a decrease in the social level of the population and the redistribution of the medical and diagnostic structure due to the COVID‑19 infection pandemic. It should be recognized that the state system of medical care is not always able to fully meet the needs of societies for high-quality qualified medical care. The analysis of foreign literature has shown that medical services abroad successfully use the principle of public-private partnership, redistributing efforts to form the necessary institutional environment in healthcare between private business and the state. Such a form of interaction as concession, leasing, franchise, outsourcing, aufstaffing allows us to optimally balance the interests of the medical business and public health, significantly optimize the budget costs for health protection, especially in a difficult epidemiological period. The result of the research was the development of a conceptual and theoretical model of various forms of interaction between private medical business and government agencies within the framework of public-private partnership programs. C o n c l u s i o n s . Thus, public-private partnership is an effective economic tool that ensures the coincidence of the interests of private medical business and the state, allowing to make a profit for both subjects of medical activity, with a reduction in state budget expenditures for healthcare purposes, but with the preservation of high quality medical services and resource provision.

Subject of research – relations in the process of improving the mechanism of regulation of road development in Ukraine and putting into practice proposals to ensure innovative approaches and modernization of the road system on the basis of public-private partnership are formed. The purpose of the article. The scien- tific and methodological and practical proposals with the purpose of applying the mechanism of regulation of the road economy development as a promising of the national economy have been developed. The methodology of the work. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is the system of both general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition, fundamental provisions of modern economic theory and practice. In scientific research such methods as mono- graphic in formulating approaches that the development of the road economy de- pends not only on the level of economic development, but also on the influence of regulatory mechanisms that are applied, economic and statistical – in determining and calculating the concession payment for the right to management are used. The results of the work – the scientific results of the improved basis of development of the national economy through the creation of an effective mechanism for the implementation of new rules and tasks in the system of regulation in the field of road economy are proposed for application. Conclusions. We propose modern mea- sures and tools for shaping the innovative environment, and we propose to intro- duce such rules that would meet the interests of the authorities, increase the level of protection of interests of private investors and the state in the implemen- tation of public-private partnership projects. The advantages in developing mech- anisms for guaranteeing public-private partnership project financing by the state partner during the whole project implementation period are substantiated; mecha- nism of fair compensation in case of early termination of the public-private part- nership contract at the initiative of the state partner in order to compensate for the reasonable losses of the private partner. The scientific-methodological and practical proposals for the purpose of application of the mechanism of regulation of the road development are revealed. It is proved that due to the impact of mod- ernization transformations, the public-private partnership can play a dual role as an institutional innovation and has every reason to combine both the modernization of investment activity and the modernization of the regulatory mechanism for the purpose of evolutionary transformations in the leading spheres of the national economy.

The subject of this research is the prospects for the development of international legal regulation of public-private partnership. The question is raised on the diminishing role of the state in regulation of international and transboundary relations in the sphere of public-private partnership. The author indicates a quite noticeable replacement of traditional regulatory processes, the key role in which is played by the states, with informal processes of international rule-making, in which the lead is taken by non-state actors. It is substantiated that the absence of international convention on public-private partnership negatively affects the regulation of relations in the sphere of public-private partnership. Leaning on the domestic and foreign scientific literature, the author outlines the vector of development of international law in the sphere of public-private partnership, as well as substantiates the need for adopting the international framework convention on public-private partnership. Analysis is conducted on the special forms of interaction between international law and national law in the sphere of public-private partnership, as well as on correlation between international law and non-legal regulators of public-private partnership. The article describes the key aspects of the content of the international framework convention on public-private partnership. The novelty of consists in establishment of the vector of development of international legal regulation of public-private partnership. Based on the “clash” of private law and public law approaches towards regulation of international investment relations, the author substantiates the comprehensive approach towards regulation of public-private partnership.
