The subject of the research is the transformation of the state institution under the influence of the digital revolution. The choice of topic is determined by the transition of the state institution from bureaucratic to service and from service to digital. This transition entails significant changes in the methods of regulating public relations, the forms of state participation in the life of citizens, as well as the architecture of interaction between state, business and society in the new environment. The aim of the research is to create and justify a model of digital public administration, in which the necessary access to personal information of the digitized state will not be used against citizens. Therefore, the digitalization of public administration should be a tool to improve the efficiency of public services. The research methods are: institutional and comparative legal analysis, as well as methodology of value chain management by M. Porter. The results of the research show that (1) the created value chain of public administration includes main and auxiliary activities in the system of public administration in the digital state, (2) changes in the governance due to the increasing role of the digital state have been proved based on the doctrinal components of the new public administration of C. Hood, and (3) substantiated the reasons for the evolution of public administration through the prism of management structures: from linear-functional to project-functional structure and, as a result, to state digital platforms. Based on the declarations of the UN General Assembly, the conclusion is made that it is necessary to strengthen the control of the judiciary over the executive to avoid the establishment of digital totalitarianism. These findings reinforce the methodological significance of the evolution of public administration, as well as the practical value in reforming the system of governance under the influence of the digital revolution.

Digital network platforms are built on sociotechnical interaction between actors and actors. The creation and development of new public services based on digital platforms inevitably leads to the transformation of the relationship between the state and citizens. The attractiveness of state digital platforms for citizens increases when resolving the contradiction between the possibilities of new forms of social interaction and the threat of misuse of personal data, the risk of harm or persecution.The article presents the results of the analysis of the boundaries of the public and private in the interaction of the state with citizens on digital network platforms. The research method is a comparative analysis, which is based on the dichotomy of public and private, reflected in the concept of private and public X. Arendt, concepts of the public sphere J. Habermas, regulatory and legal concepts of privacy by R. Gavison. The empirical base was made up of a sociological study conducted to obtain information about the boundaries of privacy and publicity of personal data in the digital network space (n = 1 000 among the population over 18 years old living in metropolitan megacities and median regions by the level of informatization, 2020) and the results of Kaspersky Lab surveys conducted in 2019–2020.The conducted research allows us to assert that almost 2/3 of citizens have faced the misuse of confidential information on the Internet. Most of the respondents are aware that websites, social networks and search engines can collect data for web analytics. At the same time, citizens consider it possible to transfer personal data to the authorities in a generalized form for making managerial decisions. Half of the surveyed population does not object to the implementation of digital control over the actions and movements of citizens. Thus, despite the existing negative experience, it is unlikely that there will be any obvious resistance to organizing the collection of personal information on digital network platforms.

Public procurement in Ukraine is an area where marketing is underused. Marketing potential in public tendering remains poorly understood. The article is devoted to the study of this potential for improving the performance of domestic state customers. Marketing in the state customer's activities is limited by a number of factors. This is dependence on legislation and competitive trading procedures. The main directions of marketing in the activities of the state customer are public relations and market research. Domestic state customers do not pay sufficient attention to public relations, which leads to a low level of confidence of business and society in tenders. The central tool of market research for the state customer are market consultations. It includes several stages, such as an invitation to participate in market consultations, filling out a questionnaire by an enterprise, holding a meeting of a prospective customer with a potential bidder and preparing a report. Marketing research of the market is used insufficiently by state customers. Market consultations are mainly addressed to those customers who are financed by international financial organizations. At the same time, market consultations hold enormous potential to improve the efficiency of public procurement. They allow you to correctly formulate the requirements for the procurement item and its expected value. This speeds up the process of preparing tender documents. In addition, market consultations draw the attention of a potential tenderer to this state customer. This contributes to an increase in the number of tenderers and to a decrease in the price of the subject of the procurement. As a result of the study of the theory and practice of using marketing in public procurement, it was proposed to introduce social and ethical marketing in this area.

Local self-government, as one of the most basic forms of the constitutional order, can be credible only in case of its practical coexistence with the public authorities. Local self-government, as a special form of people power, guarantees non-interference of the State in addressing local affairs. The constitutional-legal model of local self-government in Georgia is based on the renewal of democratic traditions of self-organization of the population and territorial self-government. This is primarily due to organizational specificities of local self-government. In addition, the constitutional norms establish a high level of independence of local self-government in addressing local affairs. However, the influence of the State at the level of local democracy persists in any case. In the current context, local self-government is an integral part of a unified system of public relations, which is organizationally, institutionally and functionally closely linked to other levels of public administration. We believe that a task of local self-government, unlike the pubic authorities, is not to try to regulate everything, but to coordinate and harmonize the governance «from above» and self-regulation «from below». In public administration there is a need to align people’s and the self-government’s interests. Public governance is intended to take into account the existing reality, to objectively assess the role and place various norms and carry out governance activities only on that basis. Nearly thirty years of experience in public-political governance in Georgia have demonstrated that in post-socialist Georgia, clearly, there is a gradual redistribution of power from the legislature to the executive branch. In addition, the country is witnessing a transformation in public-political governance.

Constitutional and legal status of Prosecutor’s Office is the evidence of importance of this institution in society and the State. The Chapter VIII (Justice) of the Constitution has the provisions allowing to tell about the change of the role and the place of Prosecutor’s Office in the state power system. In the same time, the Article 92, paragraph 14, Article 1311 of the Constitution of Ukraine envisages that organization and activity of Prosecutor’s Office are determined exclusively by Law. It should be noted that the Preamble of the Law of Ukraine «On Prosecutor’s Office» states that it defines the legal fundamentals of organization and activity of Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine. This article highlights the general approaches to uncovering the scope of «organization of Prosecutor’s Office». Attention is drawn to the traditional views of the «organization» as an internal activity and management within the prosecution agencies, where an important role is given to Prosecutor General and heads of prosecution agencies of the appropriate level. In addition, the «organization of Prosecutor's Office» is viewed from the standpoint of the process of creating (forming) Prosecutor's Office as an institution or changing its institutional and functional model by reforming and transforming it into a new model. In this sense, it refers to incorporation of the Prosecutor's Office as an important element of the process of its institutionalization. It was concluded that the «organization of Prosecutor's office» can be considered as a process of its incorporation and objectification at the level of Law. At the same time, the Law can actually be considered as a materialized carrier of the idea of a certain institutional and functional model of Prosecutor's Office. In this regard, the role and responsibility of external (in relation to Prosecutor’s Office) entities for its organization and the results of its activities in the future is increased. This conclusion is due to the fact that the «quality» of the legislation is directly related to the efficiency and effectiveness of prosecutorial activity or its ability as a state institution to achieve the purpose and socially beneficial result of its activity, practically influencing public relations in a given direction.
