Nowadays, many public administrations are facing the low level of public trust in state authorities. It is largely due to public dissatisfaction with the activities of public administration and beliefs that public administration does not serve to the public interest. Participation in decision-making processes is one of the ways to reduce public dissatisfaction and mistrust in public administration. In order to understand the importance of public participation in public administration processes, the aim of the paper is to study trends in the transformation of public administration and society at different stages of the development of the state reform in Latvia and its impact on public trust in public administration. The following methods have been used in the research study: analysis of normative documents, an expert survey with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and government representatives, as well as analysis of statistics on the implementation of the Memorandum of Cooperation between the government and NGOs. An analysis of the normative documents adopted by the Latvian government shows that the legal framework provides for wide opportunities for NGO involvement in public administration. The statistical data and opinions of NGOs and public administration experts show that there are a variety of mechanisms for increasing NGOs participation. However, the opportunities for developed participation are not conducive to public trust in the public administration, since in most cases information about the opportunities and results of participation is not reachable to the general public. Thus, it is vitally important to create an optimal model of NGOs and public administration relations for the activation of Latvian society in order to reduce the low participation and public trust in public administration.

ABSTRACT The Public–Private–People partnership (4P) is a significant element in disaster response. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as a pandemic has been the worst disaster in the last decades in Iran in terms of exposure and magnitude. In order to respond effectively, the Iranian Government needs an extra capacity, which may be provided by the private sector and people. This study aims to collect evidences of 4P pertaining to the COVID-19 response in Iran from February to April 2020. Partnership case studies are classified into 3 categories: (1) Public–private partnerships; (2) public–people partnerships; and (3) private–people partnerships. It was found that the Iranian Government has removed or diminished some of the barriers to cooperation. There was also more cooperation between the people, the private sector, and the public sector than during normal times (vs disasters). People participated in the response procedure through some associations or groups, such as religious and ethnic communities, as well as through non-governmental organizations. It has been shown that 4P is vital in disaster response and, in particular, to epidemics. The government can be more active in partnerships with the private sector and people in emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Enhancing social capital, institutionalization, and developing required infrastructures by the government will improve public–private partnerships.

The article is the review of D. O. Sivakov’s monograph “Tendencies in Legal Regulation of Water-Related Activities”. D. O. Sivakov is a leading research fellow of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, a specialist and author of researches in the sphere of water and environmental legislation. The author analyses the study under review from the perspective how this study assesses the role of the state in the water resources management. The author supports the reexamination by D. O. Sivakov of the conceptual framework of the water legislation through the lens of proposed legalization of the “water-related activities” concept. The author’s conclusion resulting from the comparison of practical experience in water bodies’ management in a number of foreign countries is worth noticing. As such, the author focuses on the public services by non-governmental organizations and entities of the parties to the water relations. In his study the author confines himself to a simple enumeration of powers of some state bodies in the water services sphere, which is evidently not enough for building a holistic picture of tendencies in the legal regulation of waterrelated activities.

Government bureaucracy should be a channel of devotion and high loyalty to services that are oriented to the public interest, not vice versa which is abuse of power or authority. In carrying out its duties or functions of the government bureaucracy must be aware of changes both internally and externally. The tendency inherent in the government bureaucracy is the lack of attention to affordability and equity in service to the public interest. Easy, cheap, fast, right safe and comfortable service is fundamental to the public, because it can be seen from the socio-economic conditions that they cannot get expensive services. It is unfortunate that in fact, seeing that there are still many bureaucrats that tend to avoid public interests, that is why the level of the service quality for the public is still low.

Homeopathy is one among the popular medical systems in India. Over the years, the government has been attempting to mainstream homeopathy in the public health system, nevertheless, most service providers are in the private sector. Therefore, increase of quality and availability to all population classes by means of public-private partnerships is seen as a viable policy option. In Delhi, 90% of homeopathic services providers belong to the private sector, including charity trusts. Most of them provide services to the low-income population in urban slams. In 2003, Delhi government launched a program involving the private sector to provide homeopathic services in underserved city areas. This project funded private agencies to run homeopathic clinics. This paper provides an overview on this program, addressing in particular the lessons taught by six case studies represented by non-governmental organizations (NGOs). It also discusses expectations of private providers and concludes with specific recommendations for wider participation of the private sector.

The state of Kerala with a positive approach towards palliative care shown both by the government and the public has extensive coverage by the government institutions and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), but in rest of the country mostly NGOs are the palliative care providers. Volunteering has long been considered an integral part of palliative care programmes but there are varying extents to which volunteers participate in the process and their numbers vary from state to state, with Kerala topping the list. The Neighbourhood Network in Palliative Care (NNPC) in Kerala is an attempt to develop sustainable community owned services led by volunteers capable of offering comprehensive long-term care (LTC) and palliative care (PC) to those in need.

The social economy has been trying to recognize its partnering role by the public and business sectors over recent years. The results are visible in the increasing use of its instruments in policy implemented by both the government and the regional authorities. The essence of local partnership is one of the key issues inherent in the new paradigm of building social cohesion and is a tool for a new economic and social order. The task of local partnership, understood as a kind of relationship between public entities, business and non-governmental organizations based on the principles of dialogue, reciprocity and equivalence, is to combine knowledge, experience and initiatives of various people and institutions in solving social problems.

Professional management of public services should be more goal-oriented paradigm of governance that is based on a new management approach, both theoretically and practically. Simultaneously, a paradigm of governance goal is expected to eliminate practices that Weberian bureaucracy is negative as hierarkhikal bureaucratic structures that result in operating cost is more expensive (high cost economy) than the benefits gained, the prevalence of red tape, lack of initiative and creativity of the apparatus, the growth of culture mediokratis (as opposed to meritocratic culture) and in-efficiency. Therefore, institutions of public service can be done by government and non-governmental organizations. If the government, the organization of government bureaucracy is the forefront of the organization (street level bureaucracy) related to public service. If the non-government, then shaped the organization of political parties, religious organizations, nongovernmental organizations and civil society organizations to another. Anyone pelayanananya institutional forms, the most important thing is how to provide assistance and facilities to the community in order to meet the needs and interests.Manajemen profesional pelayanan publik harus lebih berorientasi pada tujuan paradigma pemerintahan yang didasarkan pada pendekatan manajemen baru, baik secara teori maupun praktis. Secara bersamaan, paradigma dari tujuan pemerintahan diharapkan dapat menghilangkan praktek bahwa birokrasi Weberian adalah negatif seperti struktur birokrasi hierarkhikal yang menghasilkan biaya operasional lebih mahal (ekonomi biaya tinggi) daripada manfaat yang diperoleh, prevalensi birokrasi, kurangnya inisiatif dan kreativitas aparatur, pertumbuhan mediokratis budaya (sebagai lawan dari budaya meritokratis) dan in-efisiensi. Oleh karena itu, institusi pelayanan publik dapat dilakukan oleh pemerintah dan organisasi non-pemerintah. Jika pemerintah, organisasi birokrasi pemerintah adalah garis depan organisasi (jalan birokrasi tingkat) terkait dengan pelayanan publik. Jika non-pemerintah, kemudian membentuk organisasi partai politik, organisasi keagamaan, lembaga swadaya masyarakat dan organisasi masyarakat sipil yang lain. Siapapun pelayanananya bentuk kelembagaan, hal yang paling penting adalah bagaimana memberikan bantuan dan kemudahan kepada masyarakat dalam rangka memenuhi kebutuhan dan kepentingan.
