Communication Approach

Transparency is a communicative process whose aim is to provide citizens with information that will promote their participation in public affairs. However, its application is often reduced to a legally stipulated administrative act. In contrast, this article sets out the principles, attributes and evidence of transparency from a communication perspective, taking into consideration that transparency is treated as a process through which recipients obtain, understand and use information. This study focuses on the transparency of local town councils, although most of the concepts could be applied at other levels of public administration. To establish this framework, the legislation and application of transparency in three countries (Spain, Ecuador and Colombia) was studied using the Infoparticipa method designed with a communication approach in mind. A comparative study was then carried out using methods designed in other disciplines. Through this approach, the benefits of transparency were categorized to define six principles—disclosure, strengthening, visibility, comprehensibility, dissemination and humanism—and eight attributes of transparent information: veracity, timeliness, accessibility, usability, intelligibility, universality, pluralism and plurality. For each attribute, the evidence of its application was determined. This framework clarifies the perspective of transparency for participation from a communication approach.

This paper explores recent notions in public administration, which are intertwined and addressed to the administration of public affairs. On this basis it demonstrates that content of legal system is filled through the static legal principles and rules, but they receive their real content through the informal practices and conditions of the human mind. The paper concludes that discussed notions could have only one name, because they all are the synonyms of reciprocal relation between the human dignity and efficient administration.

The Difference

The article is devoted to the analysis of theoretical and practical aspects of the implementation of government relations (GR) mechanisms in the system of interaction between government and business. GR is considered in comparison with lobbying, public relations and public affairs. The article notes that GR creates new opportunities for ensuring coordination of the interests of power, business and civil society in Ukraine. In this sense, GR is a socially important mechanism for the democratic development of the society, since it enables businesses and civil society institutions to influence government decisions.At this time, some authors associate GR with lobbyism, believing that these concepts are identical. However, the difference in these areas is significant. Unlike traditional forms of lobbyism, which are closely linked to interpersonal interaction with politicians and civil servants, GR has a number of strategic advantages.First, in public consciousness in Ukraine, lobbyism, in contrast to GR, practically became synonymous with corruption, since the contacts of interested persons with the representatives of the political establishment take place behind the scenes. The secrecy of this process leads to the effect of negative perception in the social consciousness.Secondly, lobbying leads to the dependence of subjects of lobbying on personalities in power structures, on their subjective preferences and wishes. This negatively affects long-term planning, and also places market participants in an uneven position, for example, when state broadcasting is distributed in favor of one of the participants.Thirdly, the feature of GR is the constant use of new innovative communication technologies that come from foresight, marketing, PR and electoral campaigns.The article concludes that GR in Ukraine is an important tool for dialogue between the state and business, on which depends: the quality of public administration, the market conditions, the conditions of competition, the development of business in general. Such a dialogue requires legislative protection and mechanisms for the adoption of binding decisions for all parties on the basis of it, because a perspective-oriented business first of all expects from the authorities the stable rules of the game and their observance by all players. It is the practice of GR in Ukraine that meets the stated requirements and goals.

Economic Engagement

This article investigates the unique role of applied public service colleges in engaging with communities through economic development and entrepreneurship-related activities. Schools of public administration, affairs, and service are often distinctively tasked with being public facing, connecting and working with outside agencies, nonprofits, and other stakeholders. Using a case study of Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, which employs a public-private partnership model to find solutions to challenges facing communities, the economy, and the environment, the authors discuss the emerging engagement role of these schools using a typology of strategies brought forth by the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities. The authors outline seven specific programs run by the Voinovich School and discuss the activities, services, and intensity of each. As opposed to other forms of civic or community engagement, this article focuses primarily on economic engagement, such as technical assistance, business development, and related activities that drive regional and rural economic growth. Having a deeper comprehension of how such programs operate to enhance engagement and interaction between academics and outside stakeholders can be an important aspect of growing similar connections in other schools to further pursue regional connectivity and development.
