Problem setting. The COVID-19 pandemic, global quarantine, quarantine restrictions created the conditions for society to react quickly. Digital technologies are now being used more intensively, and the public administration sector is no exception. At the same time, the country's development requires systematic strategic and tactical decisions that will accelerate the introduction of modern digital technologies in all spheres of Ukrainian society, also forming and implementation of public policy at various levels of government. The analysis of recent researches and publications. Problems of digital society are studied by such Ukrainian scientists as O. Klepanchuk, O. Petryk, S. Lisovsky, S. Romanyuk, L. Rudenko (the emphasis – achieving by Ukraine the goals of sustainable development, where the development of the digital society is considered as one of the tools); issues of implementation of e-government and e-democracy are studied by A. Emelyanova, S. Loboyko, O. Maevska, A. Semenchenko, V. Dreshpak; research on the implementation of public policy in a particular area, including in the field of justice and the provision of administrative services, are among the research interests of Y. Starylov, J. Sobko, I. Markvych and others. Among foreign researchers, these issues are being investigated by C. Emmanuelli, N. Jain, N. Maechler, D. Malfara etc. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem: the main contradictions, trends, problems and prospects for the provision of digital public services, based on the conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic, namely – the application of quarantine restrictions; influence of digitalization on the public policy forming in Ukraine. Paper main body. The article analyzes the problems inherent in modern Ukrainian society in connection with the rapid digitalization processes, that have taken place over the past year. The influence of digitalization on the forming and implementation of public policy is considered on the example of the activity of the Ministry of justice of Ukraine. Based on the results of a survey of civil servants and local government officials conducted by the author, the main trends, problems and prospects for providing public services online are identified. 2020 turned out to be the crisis year for all mankind on the one hand, and on the other hand – it encouraged the rapid development of certain industries, including the field of digital transformation. In public administration, this has been embodied in promoting the use of digital services and governance platforms. In the direction of forming and implementation of justice state policy main efforts are aimed at building online interaction between citizens and the state, reducing the number of paper documents, more efficient administration of open state registers, ensuring control at each step of citizens' appeals, reducing corruption risks. minimization of the human factor in the processes of providing administrative services. The author conducted the survey among students of the Lviv Regional Institute for Public Administration of the National Academy for Public Administration under the President of Ukraine on the provision of administrative services online. 66 applicants from eight regions of Ukraine were involved in the survey. The question was asked: what hinders the development of administrative services online? Among the answers, the most common are (in order from most popular to least): low technical literacy of service consumers; technical unpreparedness of networks;  unpreparedness of the citizens; unpreparedness of officials; insecurity of the information processed; lack of habit to use online;   distrust to the state. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Contradictions of the digital society development in Ukraine include: the digital divide (the gap in the level of digital equipment); technological unemployment; digital dependence and digital control; digital opportunities for crime; unlimited digital space and its content; the need for large-scale efforts and resources to address the digital space, and needs will only increase; unavailability of information created by bodies-not information managers; form of obtaining information, information is created or obtained in a form unsuitable for machine processing; method of information processing – non-interoperability of data sets from different managers. Among the factors that will determine digitalization processes on the public policy forming in Ukraine, we consider: increasing the technical literacy of service consumers; improving the technical readiness of networks; work with the population to promote the tools of consumption of administrative services online; training of officials to work in the digital space; taking measures to protect information held by the authorities; forming the habit of using online in the field of forming and implementation the public policy; increasing the level of trust to the state.

The aim of the article is to identify new trends, patterns of corruption in the system of government and develop approaches to improving mechanisms to prevent and combat corruption in Ukraine. In the context of reforming modern Ukrainian society, the study of the development of mechanisms to prevent corruption is very relevant. In addition, given the deepening socio-political and financial-economic crisis in Ukraine, corruption is a serious threat to national security. According to international experience, a mechanism should be clearly established for the selection of specialists to work in the public administration sector. An effective set of tools to combat corruption in the state are, first of all, prohibitions and restrictions. The focus on overcoming the factors of corruption that are inherent in the sphere of state structures is the improvement of mechanisms. One of the effective mechanisms for preventing corruption is preventive measures in public bodies with a number of restrictions and prohibitions.

The current decade is a period of origination and manifestation of the game-changing strategic challenges and threats as well as the geopolitical, socio-economic, institutional, and technological risks that arise from the development and penetration of the digital technologies. The World economy is entering the new stage of its development that implies that the human production, exchange, distribution, and consumption activities are directly connected with the formation, processing, and application of large amounts of information and knowledge that exist in a digital format. The concepts "The digital economy" and "The knowledge-based economy" are becoming inseparable and this has an impact on the digital transformation of the institutions of public administration. The digital technologies are increasing the capabilities of the State to respond the global challenges but at the same time generating the new strategic risks, especially institutional and technological ones. Furthermore, the possible directions of the digital evolution of the State are still discussing, not defined. The paper deals with the concept of the digital transformation of the institutions of the public administration with the risks being taken into account. Conclusion that optimizing the above strategic risks is a critical national priority.The authors declare no conflict of interest.

This chapter explores public administration research. Complaints about a lack of rigor in public administration research intensified in the 1980s. “Lack of rigor” meant a failure to define concepts and problems precisely, to test the validity of claims properly, and to build on the work of earlier scholars. In the interdisciplinary schools of public policy established in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers in public management worked alongside scholars from “hard” disciplines such as economics, and struggled to win support from their peers when they applied for tenure and promotion. The public management approach was designed to overcome this stigma. Scholars in public management sought to focus on questions of manageable size, define concepts and hypotheses precisely, and rely on the quantitative-statistical research methods preferred by economists. All of this would assure “rigorous empirical analysis.” By the early 2000s, quantitative-statistical research methods were dominant in the field. The worry today is that a shift in the focus of research toward the macro-level of analysis—that is, toward big questions about the role and design of the state—will mean abandoning the accomplishments of the last thirty years. The chapter then considers three ways to respond to such concerns.

Arts turned to the background of the attention of public administration proceeding from the fact that our country is in a rather difficult political and economic situation. Therefore, it is not surprising that globalization processes affect the weakest, from a managerial point of view, state-building aspects. Art is the philosophical and spiritual layer of social consciousness, which is not manifested as clearly as, for example, some industrial branches, but its significance does not become less from it. The proof of the magnitude development of arts’ state management is an example of some negative globalization impact on modern Ukrainian society. Also relevant is the consideration of the conceptual public administration approaches to professional and amateur arts, their transformation into modern conditions of society development. The transformation of conceptual approaches to public administration is dedicated to a large number of studies by leading Ukrainian scholars. Each of them made a significant contribution to the state-management transformations development of almost all branches of government. The aim of the article is to consider the conceptual approaches of public administration transformation to professional and amateur arts through the analysis of scientific research of modern Ukrainian scholars. In the management there is always a public authority or its official, the other part is a citizen, or an association of citizens, an enterprise, an institution, an organization. And if in public administration a citizen is the main subject of publiclegal relations, then public administration of professional and amateur art aims more broad on the population of the country. It has been concluded that in the broad sense the state administration of art will be understood as a system of social development management. This is disclosed through the activities of public administration and local government. They are fully accountable to the public and operate in their interests, with the help of co-ordination of decisions on the development and implementation of state policy on the development of professional and amateur art.

Public administration is carried out through the public service. Public administration is an instrument of the State which is expected to implement the policy decisions made from the political and legislative processes. The rationale of this article is to assess the working relationships between ministers and permanent secretaries in the Government of National Unity in Zimbabwe. The success of the Minister depends to a large degree on the ability and goodwill of a permanent secretary who often has a very different personal or professional background and whom the minster did not appoint. Here lies the vitality of the permanent secretary institution. If a Minister decides to ignore the advice of the permanent secretary, he/she may risk of making serious errors. The permanent secretary is the key link between the democratic process and the public service. This article observed that the mere fact that the permanent secretary carries out the political, economic and social interests and functions of the state from which he/she derives his/her authority and power; and to which he/she is accountable,  no permanent secretary is apolitical and neutral to the ideological predisposition of the elected Ministers. The interaction between the two is a political process. Contemporary administrator requires complex team-work and the synthesis of diverse contributions and view-points.

Delimitada a ênfase do presente trabalho à função administrativa do Estado, visou-se compreender o princípio da proteção da confiança como instrumento de tutela da expectativa legítima do indivíduo, por impor limites à Administração Pública na anulação de atos administrativos. Nessa situação, viu-se que referido princípio pode conflitar com a legalidade e a autotutela, sendo o caso de se buscar um juízo de ponderação, que resultará na manutenção do ato ou na sua anulação, esta podendo ser com efeitos <em>ex tunc</em>, com efeitos <em>ex nunc</em> ou com a modulação temporal dos efeitos para um determinado momento futuro.</p><p> </p><p>The acts, practices and behaviors of the Public Power in the exercise of legitimation, can generate, in several situations, expectations in individuals.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the use of digital technologies in the field of public administration using the example of state and municipal information systems. Currently, two types of such systems can be distinguished in the Russian Federation: 1) allowing direct enforcement activities; 2) used to capture certain information. Theoretical analysis. Information systems of the first type acquire the properties of an object of complex legal relations, in which suppliers and consumers of information, government bodies, as well as other persons become participants. This entails the fact that in the implementation of public administration, the source of regulation of public relations to a certain extent becomes the program code of these information systems. Accordingly, any failures and errors in the public information system become facts of legal importance. Empirical analysis. The main risks of using information systems of the second type in public administration relate to the illegal access (or use) of information stored in their databases. The consolidation of databases containing different types of information is a serious threat. In this regard, the creation of the Unified Federal Information Register containing information about the population of the Russian Federation, provided for by the Federal Law No. 168-FZ of 08.06.2020, may lead to a large number of socially negative consequences and comes into obvious conflict with the legislation on personal data. Results. State and municipal information systems themselves can improve public administration, including reducing corruption in the country. At the same time, their reduced discretion in management decisions is not always appropriate. Accordingly, their implementation should be preceded by the analysis of the characteristics of a specific area of management, as well as the proposed use of digital technologies.
