The main result of the study is a systematic analysis of the peculiarities of legal and political institutionalization of public associations in Ukraine, ways of increasing the effectiveness of regulation of the activities of public associations in Ukraine by means of institutional support, institutional capacity of which is the result of their interaction with the state. This is manifested in the ability of public associations to perform their functions in providing social services in areas that are legally and normatively defined by the state. The evaluation of the effectiveness of relations between civil society actors, the form of institutional support for the activities of associations of children and young people on a public-legal basis, necessary for the effective use of the potential of different types of public associations, as well as optimal ways to increase the effectiveness of institutional support for public associations in implemented youth and social projects. The institutionalization of the process of interaction of public authorities with public organizations and their associations is highlighted in the context of consolidation of the organizational and legal rules of their relations, the conditions of their partnership cooperation in various spheres of socio-political and socio-economic life of the country. Institutionalization is revealed as the legitimization of the foundations of the interaction of these institutions, that is, the recognition of their interaction is legitimate and expedient for the majority of the population, whose interests are the institutions of civil society. The forms of institutional support for the activities of associations of children and youth are presented, which directly determine institutional support instruments, which can be either direct or indirect. The presented results of the conducted research testify to the necessity of further development of civil society on the basis of cooperation between state authorities and the public. An indispensable condition for such interaction is the formation of an appropriate mechanism of public administration, in which a system of social and legal norms, methods for defining purposes and a legal basis for the management process in this direction are identified. The prospects for further research in this direction are envisaged, which include the development of proposals for improving the structure of state bodies - elements of the system for ensuring interaction between authorities and the public, improving the coordination of their activities.

Problem setting. In the context of modern transformation processes, the modernization of the public administration system becomes important, in particular in the application of qualitatively new strategic approaches, mechanisms and tools in the social sphere. The current priority of public policy implementation at both the national and regional (local) levels is to meet the social needs of the most vulnerable and socially vulnerable categories of citizens. Current trends in public administration practices in developed countries indicate the need for effective intersectoral partnership in the system of public management of the social sphere, which provides for effective participation in this process, both relevant government institutions and civil society actors.Recent research and publications analysis. Problems of public management of the social sphere, public administration influence on social processes are characterized by considerable attention among both foreign and Ukrainian researchers. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problems. Despite significant scientific interest, the issues of substantiation of the role of decentralization in the formation of the principles of qualitative renewal of the content of the public administration system in the social sphere, the influence of state institutions on social processes, identification of trends and main directions of decentralization on the formation of strategy and modernization of public administration social sphere, etc.Paper main body. Based on the fact that the state level is of decisive and integrated importance in the implementation of the social function, the social responsibility is borne primarily by the state through the system of legislative and executive bodies. In view of this, it is the state that has the power to establish fair and transparent rules for the activities of various actors, including civil institutions, through the functioning of an effective system of control that would ensure their implementation.Researchers and experts point out the inconsistency of the current state policy of social development in Ukraine neither with the challenges formed under the influence of globalization processes and national conditions, nor with European standards for the introduction of this area of public administration.The system of social services provided by the current legislation is largely inconsistent with the current system of budget funding, which is mostly based on a formal approach that does not take into account the real need for material security of vulnerable groups and the real cost of benefits and services.Among the areas set out in the draft of the new National Strategy for Civil Society Development in Ukraine for 2021-2026, emphasis is placed on improving approaches to state support for civil society organizations and strengthening cooperation between them and the executive branch. In particular, one of the main tasks of the Strategy is to expand the mechanisms of support of civil society organizations by the state, as well as to increase the order of services from such organizations.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Processes of modernization of public administration in the social sphere should include the following key areas: regulatory (provides for the completeness and integrity of regulatory standards for the implementation of sectoral / functional policies and guarantees of social rights); organizational and institutional (consists in improving the institutional support of public management of the social sphere); functional-instrumental (provides for ensuring the integrity of the organizational-functional structure; effective coordination of the functioning of institutions); financial and economic (is to optimize the financial mechanisms for the implementation of tasks of social development and functioning of the social sphere); infrastructural (provides for the modernization of the social services system through the state's demonopolization of the social services market); resource (provides for the development and integration of different types of resource provision).

Abstract Corruption is a recurring phenomenon throughout history, so different conceptions seek to formulate a concept that defines it. This theoretical essay aims to introduce a perspective that broadens the understanding of corruption beyond the currents of thought that prevail in studies about Brazilian public administration. This study indicates that the epistemic reconstruction of the meaning of corruption should derive from the conception of public interest as a result of deliberative processes between citizens and the State. Such perspective contributes to the debate about the importance of participation of the civil society in controlling corruption and creating public interest itself. This study also highlights that more efficient control is not only restricted to legislation reforms but it also relies on the enhancement civic virtues.

Current anti-corruption legislation is characterized by a lack of concentration and unity of legislative acts that regulate the work of public authorities and administration at the federal and inter-regional levels. The Federal Law «On Counteracting Corruption» has a framework nature and does not meet all the challenges of preventing and counteracting corruption that the Russian state now faces. Thus, the relevance of this study is obvious. The goal of the authors is to determine the key trends and means of systematizing legislation that regulates the anti-corruption activities of the state. Having analyzed a vast massive of normative legal acts on counteracting corruption at the federal and inter-regional levels as well as international experience, the authors conclude that it is necessary to amend the Federal Law «On Counteracting Corruption» by, among other things, systematizing the norms that regulate the corresponding sphere of state activities. The authors express their confidence that the effectiveness of legislation on counteracting corruption could considerably improve with the «package» principle of streamlining legislation and the introduction of a basic normative legal act — the Law on Counteracting Corruption, then changing the acts that are not in line with it and developing other normative documents to specify it. The use of a systemic approach to counteracting corruption also requires the revision and improvement of some clauses of the National Strategy of Counteracting Corruption which should incorporate the analysis of the situation with the anti-corruption policy of the state, the assessment of the effectiveness of the existing system, monitoring and audit, as well as the instruments of the anti-corruption policy. The paper also presents the authors’ position on the development and upgrading of the legal basis of organizing the public authorities and administrations at the central and inter-regional levels that regulates the specification and optimization of determining and delimiting jurisdictions in the sphere of counteracting corruption. The authors conclude that at present it is not advisable to organize a separate special corruption counteraction body in Russia because the conditions necessary for its establishment are lacking.

Problem setting. The relevance of this problem is determined by the importance of the publicity, transparency, openness, and accountability of the activity of governmental bodies and local self-government bodies in the implementation of public policy, availability, and openness of information for the citizens of Ukraine. The controversial attitude of the Ukrainian society to the reformation of public administration and a low level of public support, which is growing while the openness and transparency of the authority power bodies are increasing, should be pointed out. Constitutional changes shall be the tool for settlement of political and legal conflicts, guarantee the provision of public agreement and consensus in the society, since through constitutional changes the adjustment of the forms and methods of the state authority bodies’ activity is made. Recent research and publications analysis. The problem of the formation of the authority’s openness has been studied by such scientists as: A. Bukhanevych, E. Afonin, O. Babinova, I. Vasylenko, Yu. Habermas; the problems of the modern constitutional process and its reformation have been studied by such scientists as V. Bakumenko, L. Prokopenko, V. Tatsii, O. Sushynskyi, Yu. Shemshuchenko, and others. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Although the problem of the publicity of the state authority bodies has been studied to some extent, there is the understanding of the mechanism of public administration and a great number of publications regarding the constitutional process from different points of view, we still have no complex research of the legal mechanism of the state regulation and provision of the publicity of the constitutional process in Ukraine. Paper main body. According to the scientists, the principle of publicity of the constitutional process has several aspects. Firstly, it is the openness, that is the provision of information for the society about the planned reforms, the process of their implementation at different stages, free access of the public to the information about the content of reformation, assessment of constitutional innovations, and forecasts of the national and international expert community. For such information cannot be classified as a state secret. The second aspect of the principle of publicity determines the role of the constitutional process as the tool for the promotion of public interests – the interests of the country, people and nation, which directly correlate with the provision of the country’s sovereignty. Thus, the publicity of the constitutional process must contain three interrelated principles of proper governance – transparency, openness and accountability. It means the understanding and awareness by the society of the aims and consequences of the processes, access to the information necessary for their understanding, the possibility of participation of different groups of the society, institutions of civil society, political parties, etc. in the process of the development, change and interpretation of the constitutional norms and other legal norms according to the constitution and under the set procedure at different stages. The legal mechanism of state regulation and provision of the publicity of the constitutional process in Ukraine can be defined as the complex of interrelated legal means necessary and sufficient for the understanding and awareness by the society of the aims and consequences of the constitutional reforms, access to the information necessary for their understanding, the possibilities of participation of authorized subjects, different groups of the society, institutions of the civil society, political parties, etc. in the process of the development, change and interpretation of the constitutional norms or other legal norms according to the constitution and under the set procedure at different stages. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. The development of the methods of public administration regarding the content of the legal mechanism of the state regulation and provision of the publicity of the constitutional process in Ukraine are in the process of formation. The formation of the methods of approaches to the understanding of the category “publicity” in the public and governance relations, determination of the constituents, stages and subjects of the Constitutional process in Ukraine, special features of its implementation, and legal support of all stages can be added to the prospect of further research in this direction.

The idea of “open public administration”: The sphere of expectations and feelingsThe positive value of “open administration” will depend on whether the mutual relations between the public and the civil sector will be truly authentic or rather will be based on instrumentalization on the part of public sector. However, the most important issue connected with the application of market mechanisms in the fi eld of social services is related to the confl ict of values. This confl ict manifests itself in the collision of economic rationality professionalization of social services systems with the spirit of civil society based on solidarity, cooperation and trust.

In modern conditions of formation of civil society in Ukraine, more and more opportunities are created for the emergence of new forms, methods and other tools for public control over the activities of public administration bodies, including the police. Today, the police play an extremely important role in the state and public life of the country. After all, the police are the structure that has the ability to legally use coercion, and therefore can respond quickly to violations of human rights and freedoms, compared to other bodies. The article reveals the features of public control over the functioning of the National Police in Ukraine. The public and authoritative nature of the administrative activity of the National Police bodies, which is always under the purposeful public supervision and consists in the implementation of the administrative and legal powers assigned to the National Police in the interests of society, is analyzed. Citizens’ appeals are considered as a tool of public control over police activities and also one of the key tools by which the public responds to police activities.

Constitutional Principle

In its modern form, local government and local self-government were formed as a result of constitutional and municipal reforms of the late eighteenth – early nineteenth century. Their formation and development have historically been associated with the process of transition from feudal organization to industrial society. The stronghold of the bourgeoisie were the cities that fought for independence in the management of local affairs. Medieval cities with their administrative, financial and judicial privileges, practically, carried in themselves “embryos of municipalism”. This was expressed, first of all, in the requirements of giving independence to communities and larger historically formed territorial communities. The free community was the leitmotif of the concept of municipal autonomy in Europe. According to many authors, from the middle of the XIX century local government of this kind began to be called local self-government. The public-state concept of self-government is optimal for Ukraine. First, it ensures the formation of a system of local self-government as an institution of civil society. Secondly, such a model contributes to the active involvement of local governments in the implementation of functions and tasks of public administration. The theory of social functions of municipal government has the greatest influence on the practice of local self-government at the present stage of state development. According to it, local governments are social services that are able to meet the interests of all segments of the population. As representatives of the socially useful, non-political activities of the state, local governments are in partnership with him on the basis of mutual benefit and receive financial assistance in response to increased costs. Local self-government naturally depends on the state, in fact acts as a guiding and controlling authority. Local self-government as a somewhat independent institution of civil society is a necessary element of the mechanism for smoothing political differences between the legislative and executive branches of government. Its further development is a prerequisite for the democratization of public administration and the functioning of the political system, which is the basis for the full development of the state. After all, developed local self-government testifies to democratic public administration and ensuring the constitutional principle of state control over citizens. Key words: local government; Anglo-Saxon model of local self-government; continental model of local self-government; local (communal system) self-government of Germany; the Iberian model of local self-government; Soviet model of local self-government; public-state concept.

Privatization, contracting out, and a host of other current trends blur the line between public and private—they create what at best is a fuzzy line. This study examines yet one additional area where the lines between public and private have gotten even fuzzier—the best selling novel. It uses the writings of Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler,two authors whose names on a novel guarantee best-seller status. It will do so in the context of what a civic community and civil society are, and how they relate to the public-private question, a question that has renewed life in public administration.
