The article reveals the content of service-oriented reforms of public administration, identifies the key ideas and principles of service approach, as well as explores the features of the post-bureaucratic paradigm by M. Barzelay and B. Armajani and its theoretical and practical potential in the context of strengthening the state service function. The purpose of the article is to reveal the heuristic potential of the scientific ideas of B. Armajani and M. Barzelay for the service activity of the state. The relevant task is to identify the essence of the service approach to public policy, the key statements and tools of the post-bureaucratic model of public administration, as well as its opportunities in the course of service-oriented reforms of public administration, both in Ukraine and in the EU. The methodology of the research is based on a set of general scientific and special methods, in particular, systemic, structural and functional, bibliographic ones, which allow to achieve the goal and objectivity of this scientific research. It is found out that the service state relies on such principles as efficiency, effectiveness, openness and accessibility of information, accountability to citizens, citizens' equality, political participation, consensus model of public decision making, etc. Instrumental implementation of service policy became possible through managerization, marketization, decentralization of managerial functions, devolution, management and performance auditing, deliberative practices, digitalization, etc. It is argued that the service approach to public administration can be greatly enhanced by the provisions and transformational mechanisms of the post-bureaucratic paradigm, first of all, because of its emphasis on the cultural component. The urgency of the post-bureaucratic approach is reinforced by the verification of its effectiveness in practice (Minnesota's experience, USA).

Service State

The article is devoted to the definition of the concept in the signs of public administration. It was found that the transition from the state-centric paradigm of state administration to the concept of a service state led to the renewal of the conceptual apparatus of administrative law. There was a need to substantiate the essence and characteristics of public administration, with the help of which the goals of the existence of a service state are realized.It is substantiated that the category “public administration” occupies an important place in modern scientific research. Scientists of public administration are mainly considered as: a) a way of realizing public interest as the interest of a certain social community, united within the territory of the state; b) as a mechanism for the implemen-tation of state policy; c) as the activity of public authorities (or state bodies and local self-government bodies) aimed at achieving socially important goals.It has been established that the definition of the concept of “public administration” in a broad sense depends to a certain extent on the level of development of democratic relations in society. If the state is characterized as democratic, then public administration can be defined as professional, paid, funded from the state and local budgets, the activities of state bodies and local self-government bodies, their officials, aimed at ensuring the rights, needs and interests of man and citizen, civil society, subjects objects of entrepreneurial activity and other participants in public relations within the framework of a unified state (public) policy. In a narrow, technocratic, understanding, public administration of any state can be considered as a set of actions of state-authorized bodies and their officials aimed at implementing public policy measures in all spheres of society.It has been proved that the signs of public administration are: a) the relationship between the direction of actions of persons directly carrying out public administration measures and state (public) policy; b) the professional nature of public administration; c) detailed legal regulation of most of the public administration activities; d) the presence of a distribution of competence between various subjects of public administration in order to avoid duplication of their functions.

The purpose of the article is to highlight the concepts and definitions of methods of public service activity in the implementation of state tax policy. Through the study of numerous theoretical sources, the definition of “methods of public service activities for the implementation of state tax policy” is defined. The peculiarities of the system of types of methods of public service activities for the implementation of the state tax policy are revealed, as well as the selection of the latter based on their own scientific concept. It is emphasized that the modern science today has no unanimity about the classification and a clear list of methods of public administration, both in general and in any sphere of public administration. In accordance with the most general theoretical approach, methods of coercion and persuasion are distinguished. It is determined that under the methods of public service activities for the implementation of the state tax policy should be understood as a set of organizational legal means, methods, procedures and operations, which are applied by authorized entities of the state tax sector for the purpose of enacting the state tax policy, and control to ensure its proper condition. In fact, through such a group of methods the power influence on public relations arising during the public-service activity of the authorities of the tax sector on realization of its tasks is realized. It has been found out that the peculiarity of public service tax methods for the implementation of state tax policy is that, in their totality, they form the systematic formation of which elements are completely independent, but are closely interrelated. That is, each method in this system is a separate instrument of state influence, but within the group they determine the content and breadth of public administration in the tax industry. It is concluded that to date, the methods of public service activities for the implementation of tax policy of the state include: coercion method, information method, method of interaction, methods of ensuring the goals of public service activity in the implementation of tax policy.

AbstractFollowing the completion of the process of decentralisation of public administration in Poland in 2003, a number of tasks implemented previously by the state authorities were transferred to the local level. One of the most significant changes to the financing and management methods of the local authorities was the transfer of tasks related to culture and national heritage to the set of tasks implemented by local governments. As a result of the decentralisation process, the local government units in Poland were given significant autonomy in determining the purposes of their budgetary expenditures on culture. At the same time, they were obliged to cover these expenses from their own revenues.This paper focuses on the analysis of expenditures on culture covered by the voivodship budgets, taking into consideration the structure of cultural institutions by their types, between 2003-2015. The location quotient (LQ) was applied to two selected years (2006 and 2015) to illustrate the diversity of expenditures on culture in individual voivodships.

Subject. The article reviews the way strategic threats to energy security influence the quality of people's life. Objectives. The study unfolds the theory of analyzing strategic threats to energy security by covering the matter of quality of people's life. Methods. To analyze the way strategic threats to energy security spread across cross-sectoral commodity and production chains and influences quality of people's living, I applied the factor analysis and general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. Results. I suggest interpreting strategic threats to energy security as risks of people's quality of life due to a reduction in the volume of energy supply. I identified mechanisms reflecting how the fuel and energy complex and its development influence the quality of people's life. The article sets out the method to assess such quality-of-life risks arising from strategic threats to energy security. Conclusions and Relevance. In the current geopolitical situation, strategic threats to energy security cause long-standing adverse consequences for the quality of people's life. If strategic threats to energy security are further construed as risk of quality of people's life, this will facilitate the preparation and performance of a more effective governmental policy on energy, which will subsequently raise the economic well-being of people.
