The speed of transformation and development in information and communication technologies is an important fact triggering the restructuring process of public administration. The developing countries have become integrated into this process through public administration reform methods presented by international institutions. Transfer of information and communication technologies have become important for modernizing public administration organizations of developing countries and adapting them to the global system. In multilevel governance, use and implementation of the information technologies enabling network structuring between institutions have a particular importance. In this sense, the purpose of this study is to present the process followed by Turkey for adapting information and communication technologies to public administration organization and provision of public services in the frame of a multilevel governance approach.

The “information revolution” has not only transformed the world as we know it, but also its future potential. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), with their major technological advances, have affected the lives and lifestyles of people across the globe, as well as the way institutions and organizations do business. However, not all outcomes of the spread of information technologies have been positive. A majority of the world’s population, especially those who live in poverty, have been largely bypassed by this revolution. The gap between them and the rest of the world has expanded precisely as a result of the facilitation capacity of these technologies for those who have access to them (Figueres, 2003). The majority of these people are situated in the African continent and other developing countries.

With increasing globalization and the integration of various economies, public finance and fiscal policy have acquired a new dimension in countries around the world, including India. This new era has witnessed a massive proliferation of various information and communication technologies (ICTs) the world over opening novel prospects for information storage, retrieval and analysis. Such novel prospects are not only being used for decision making by private sector industries but also more interest has been demonstrated in investing in technologies for public administration purposes. In the Indian context, the driving force behind an increasing use of ICTs for public administration include such objectives as improving and simplifying governance, instilling transparency and eliminating corruption and bureaucracy. The massive proliferation of ICTs in India has led to a transformation from traditional governance to e-governance. Several planning projects have been launched under the rubric of e-governance and have witnessed novel use of various information technologies, GIS being one of them. This study focuses on the Nirmala Nagara project (NNP), a programme launched by the Government of Karnataka to address issues of urban development using GIS with municipal e-governance being one of its key agendas. This is one of the most ambitious Municipal e-Governance projects in the country encompassing 213 urban local bodies. This article is an initial effort towards a larger project that will focus on the process of GIS spatial knowledge production situated in contemporary India.

Problem statement. The article examines the competence management center as a means of resolving contradictions in public administration. It is determined that the essence of the problem lies in the fact that the introduction of information and communication technologies contributes to the development of a higher level of human thinking and motivation for its actions, and accordingly there are new requirements for the quality standards of public administration, which leads to an aggravation of the contradictions of public administration. The purpose of the study is formation of conceptual bases of creation and functional realization of the center of management of competences for the decision of contradictions of public management which have arisen owing to use of modern information technologies. The object of this research is the contradictions of public administration caused by the use of information technologies and tools and means of their solution. The research uses general scientific and special methods: analysis and synthesis, logical, dialectical, generalization method, complex and systematic approaches. Research methods: in the process of scientific work were used general and special methods of scientific abstraction, induction and deduction, statistical analysis, analogy and quantitative and qualitative comparison. The research hypothesis is the assumption that the contradictions of public administration that are caused by the use of information technologies can be resolved by applying the competence management center. Presentation of the main material. It is found out that the main contradiction of the functioning of the management system is that if there is a significant need to update the public nature of management, the lack of proper mechanisms for attracting the object of management represented by the population of a particular territory to participate in the process of forming alternatives, evaluation criteria, analysis, selection and implementation of management decisions requires a solution. Originality and practical significance of the research. It is proved that the use of modern public management tools (development of e-government technologies; the development of innovative information and communication infrastructure using public-private partnership opportunities; the use of a political marketing tool; the introduction of foresight, crowdsourcing and public audit technologies) does not contribute effectively enough to resolving the above contradictions. Conclusions and prospects for further research. As a promising tool, a competence management center is proposed, which helps to resolve contradictions that are becoming more acute in the context of the introduction of information and communication technologies.

The spread of COVID-19 in the past year has posed a serious challenge to state economies. The pandemic had an impact on the management and economy of developing countries and transition countries, which required the reorganization of management methods and increased use of information and communication technologies in everyday life. This complex and unexpected environment has altered the way the public administration works, which reflects on the business as well. Bulgaria was not isolated from the effect and took measures, including legislative measures to deal with the situation. In parallel with these processes, a serious reform in the “Public Procurement” sector was carried out in Bulgaria related to the digitalization of the awarding process. Digitalization has led to streamlining the process of conducting public procurement procedures and has enabled its effectiveness to be improved.

The article compares the processes of dissemination of modern information and communication technologies in government bodies in Russia and abroad. It is stated that Russia began the transition to «electronic government» later than the developed countries, in which this process was launched within the framework of large-scale and comprehensive programs for reforming public administration in the 1980s and 1990s. However, to date, there is an alignment in the pace and content of digitalization tasks. At a new stage in this process, the concept of «electronic government» under the influence of such newest phenomena of the emerging information society as methods of analysis of «big data», «artificial intelligence», «Internet of things», «blockchain» is being transformed into the category of «digital government». Achievements and prospects of public administration digitalization are considered on the example of countries with the highest ratings — Denmark, Australia, Republic of Korea, Great Britain, USA and Russia.
