The article reveals the main features of the competence approach in the practice of European public administration. The features of the competence approach in public administration are determined on the basis of analysis of the basic concepts of public administration. In the dynamics of the formation and development of popular theories of interaction between state and local authorities, such as the theory of a free community, community (public) and public and state (the theory of municipal dualism), we can trace a number of characteristic features of a competency approach, which manifests itself both through the general theoretical relations and manifestations, and through the practice of coexistence of public authorities. There is a problem of definition and distribution of public functions as a prerequisite for defining and shaping the competences of public institutions. An important issue in the context of a competent approach is the institutional consolidation of functions in the context of the existence of the basic models of territorial organization of power. In each of the varieties of the Governance concept (Responsive Governance concept, Democratic Governance concept, Good Governance concept), the specifics of the use of competencies are defined. The archetypal symbols in the European public administration are singled out using the analysis of competence in public administration in its main constituents. A brief description of the archetypal aspect of European public administration is given. The main components of competence are shown in connection with the existing archetypal symbols and the characteristic trends of their development. Their connection is shown according to the scheme “the entity component (who?) — the object component (what?) — the administrative component (how?) — the basis (in what environment?)”. Concerning the trends of development of a competence approach in the context of practice and theory of public administration, it is determined that modern concepts of public administration are characterized by shifting the balance between state and public institutions to the sphere of common goals and tasks, and thus responsibility. The joint activity of all subjects of society requires new forms of cooperation, definition of the spheres and subjects of each entity’s activity for effective cooperation, distribution of functions and competences of the entities, formation and consolidation of their status characteristics.

A well-functioning administration with embedded institutions enables the formulation of a competitive environment which propitiously effects the country’s economic growth. In case of an intervention, the results and impacts should be measured and continuously monitored in a strategic policy cycle. These activities can be done on project and national levels and at the same time there could be a legitimate claim for carrying out international comparative analysis of results. The majority of public administration developments belongs to the scope of e-government. The evidencebased policy making is a component of good governance next to transparency, sustainability, efficiency, integrity and people centricity. Government obligations and responsibilities in evaluations vary from country to country. Digitalization brings new challenges for public service and governments are taking various measures in response to them. Evaluation can fulfil its role in the strategic policy cycle only if it can meet the political conditions with attention to ethical and methodological standards; can adapt to the digitalized circumstances. The paper aims a deeper analysis of evaluation phase, and to summarize the possible new methods reaching better results in public services and public administration services. In this paper we are going to conduct an international comparative analysis with a special attention given to a public administration development program in Hungary.

Until recently, with some notable exceptions, contemporary political philosophy has had little to say about topics of “governance.” Unlike earlier thinkers, contemporary theorists have largely ignored topics such as bureaucracy, institutions, corruption, public integrity, and public service. Accordingly, Rothstein and Jan Teorell’s idea of “Quality of Government” (“QoG”), combined with the work of other political scientists and public administration theorists, invites a welcome and long overdue return to topics of governance for political philosophy. This chapter first aims to clarify the precise question to which “QoG” is intended to be answer, that is, the question of “good governance” and distinguish it from more traditional philosophical concerns with justice and legitimacy. We review the limited philosophical landscape, and then critique of the QoG as a theory of good governance. Finally, we tentatively outline an alternative account, and consider directions for future research.

Public Administration Reform

The modernization of the management system and the knowledge management model is needed in the context of the public administration reform, taking into account the concept of decentralization and Good Governance. That is why the article focuses on the author’s approach to substantiating the formation of a modern knowledge system in public management and administration in Ukraine. It is proved that the approach to the knowledge system formation should be based on the identification of the needs of public administration objects. The need to comply with the necessary diversity law for a management subject of public entity regarding its knowledge of the entity has been identified. The content of the principle «from general to specific» for the objects of public administration is considered. The formation structure of the basic knowledge system in the public sphere is presented, which unites a number of blocks. The first block deals with the system of basic knowledge of public management and administration. The second block deals with the idea of a public authorities system at different levels. The third block concerns the formation of basic knowledge about public service. The fourth block concerns the formation of a basic knowledge system about current trends in the development of domestic public administration. The fifth block deals with the knowledge about the development and implementation of public policy and implementation of public administration. The sixth block deals with the consideration of public administration as a deliberate activity to establish internal procedures and processes in public administration to ensure their smooth functioning. The seventh block concerns the knowledge system for ensuring social stability. The eighth block is a glossary of basic terms and the ninth is a bibliography. The proposed approach is the scientific substantiation of the development of educational and professional programs of the basic textbook and standards for the specialty 281 – «Public Management and Administration». Keywords: knowledge, public administration, the necessary diversity law, public policy, public service, public authorities, public stability.

In the light of historical tensions, this article considers some classical administrative law responses to changing techniques of public administration. Rejecting the customary reproach that law is unresponsive to the needs of public administrators, the article nonetheless identifies a widespread conviction that control and accountability are the primary objectives of administrative law. The response of administrators overwhelmed by procedural requirements is to fall back on ‘soft law’ techniques. The article notes the growing use of ‘soft law’ and recourse to ‘soft’ techniques of governance in the European Union, together with a possible convergence of legal and administrative values, as standards of ‘good governance’ and ‘principles of good administration’ acceptable to both sides are promulgated and enforced by courts. As ‘good governance’ standards are disseminated by international and transnational institutions, the article predicts a similar pattern of tension and evasion, as procedurally oriented administrative law systems enforced by transnational adjudicative organs develop to occupy the global administrative space.

The Prestige

The prestige of the civil service affects the quality of attracting resources to the public administration, and the civil service is considered as part of the public administration connected with the realization of the goals, tasks and functions of the state. The study of the factors of prestige and the attempt to formulate its model are necessary to manage the process of raising the prestige of socially important spheres of life, one of which is the protection of national interests. The article identifies and analyzes that influence the formation of the prestige of the civil service of Ukraine and leading countries. They are based on the use of official position not in the interests of society: protectionism, mutual services, use of state property for personal purposes, as well as bribes, kickbacks and other illegal mechanisms of "transformation of power into money". Also, criteria have been selected to take into account the prestige, which are a result of the efficiency of public administration and the macroeconomic environment, because they reflect the possibilities and freedom of realization of activity. Updating the prestige of the civil service is a prerequisite for successful European integration and good and efficient public administration that meets the requirements of modern times and European standards and principles of good governance. The  detail analyzes the main factors influencing the prestige of the civil service. After evaluating all possible factors, we can distinguish those that most accurately and accurately reflect the results of the question under study. Measures justified to increase the level of prestige of the civil service.The effectiveness of the reform of the Ukrainian civil service must be accompanied by the creation of a professional, politically impartial, stable, highly efficient, authoritative and prestigious civil service capable of meeting the challenges of today and providing quality administrative services that meet European standards.

This paper examines the challenges facing PA education, considering the colonial heritage of the region. Over the past decade, researchers have paid attention to Public Administration (PA) and its education in the Middle East. Many explored the history of the PA in the region and the quality of PA programs within high education institutes. In the context of the developmental challenges that face the current generation in the region, and under the current political circumstances which have negative consequences on PA, many voices call for a reliable and high-quality PA education and good governance, which includes accountability, transparency, democracy, and other concepts related to bureaucratic machinery within the public institutions. There is therefore a need to examine what governmental institutions, together with academic institutions in the Arab States, are doing to make significant progress in this field. The paper examines the main challenges facing PA education in Arab countries.

Further development of consolidated democracy in the modern world involves the implementation of the concept of responsible, socially significant and law-compliant behaviour of public servants. This urges the issue of defining social responsibility as a qualitatively new performance indicator of public authorities in public discourse. The research aims at analysing the relevance of the use of social responsibility as a criterion for evaluating the work of public authorities. The relationship of the social responsibility and professionalism development processes is analysed from the angle of public administration, and their impact on ensuring the effective implementation of competencies by public authorities is determined. The article analyses professionalism styles, substantiates the reasonability of wider application of professionalism as a factor capable of ensuring the introduction of social responsibility by public authorities for the effective implementation of their competencies. The theoretical approaches of New Public Management and Good Governance for the development of a socially responsible approach in the work of public authorities are analysed. Emphasis is placed on the practical significance of Good Governance in ensuring the sustainable development of public sector organizations and their transparency as an important factor and consequence of the realization of social responsibility principles. It is concluded that the ongoing implementation of social responsibility approaches in the work of public authorities in the 10’s of the 21st century has been re-actualized. It is generalized that social responsibility is a means of maintaining the integrity of society, ensuring social justice, social relations development. It is determined that the social responsibility level of the state is a performance indicator of public administration. It is concluded that effective corporate social responsibility requires the development of a regulatory mechanism of public administration and public-private partnership.   Received: 4 January 2021 / Accepted: 6 April 2021 / Published: 10 May 2021

Dampak dari arus globalisasi yang sedemikian kuat, sudah seharusnya diantisipasi sebaik mungkin. Dimana administrasi publik dengan nilai-nilai modernitas model barat (western) yang berkembang saat ini, terkadang membuat kita silau akan kemajuan sehingga melupakan identitas nilai-nilai kearifan lokal yang kita miliki. Padahal administrasi publik yang beridentitas sesuai dengan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal tak akan kalah hebatnya jika dibanding dengan administrasi publik model barat. Paper ini secara kritis mendiskusikan tentang konsep administrasi publik yang berbasis kearifan lokal yang lebih bersifat indigenous dan mencoba mengkritik administrasi publik model barat yang selama ini digadang-gadangkan dalam praktik dan dipandang sebagai core studi dari administrasi publik kontemporer diberbagai negara termasuk di Indonesia. Sebuah pengkajian ulang dan pendeskonstruksian ide, konsep dan teori terhadap Government dan Governance. Thesis utamanya adalah bahwa tidak selamanya praktik administrasi model barat mampu menyelesaikan masalah administrasi publik dan berhasil dilaksanakan diberbagai daerah dalam merespon budaya lokal.Kata Kunci: Administrasi Publik, Kearifan Lokal, Indigenous
