Problem setting. One of the most common administrative services in Ukraine is the registration of civil status acts, including registration of births and deaths, marriages and divorces, name change of an individual, etc. The focus on the introduction of the service model of the state, which is gradually being implemented in Ukraine, has significantly affected the system of providing administrative services in the field of registration of civil status acts. However, according to numerous surveys, the depth and pace of relevant changes do not fully meet the expectations of the citizens.  Of particular importance for the transition to a new model of administrative services in the field of civil registration is the experience of post-Soviet countries, in particular Georgia, which has a similar heritage to Ukraine and accordingly, in the development process, had to solve similar problems. While studying the experience of Georgia, it is also necessary to avoid certain negative aspects that Ukraine may face in the process of reforming this area. Recent research and publications analysis. A large number of studies by specialists in public administration, law, political science, namely: O. Bukhanevich, Y. Danshina, O. Karpenko, I. Koliushko, A. Lipentsev, V. Soroko, V. Tymoschuk, V. Telitska, N. Vasilieva, O. Turkova, is devoted to the problem of organization  of administrative services in other countries At the same time, the study of foreign experience in providing administrative services in the field of registration of civil status is insufficiently studied in domestic management science, although scientific interest in these problems is quite high. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. In order to improve the quality of administrative services in the field of DRACS, it is advisable to study the experience of Georgia in creating an effective system of administrative services in the field of civil registration and develop general recommendations for implementing this experience in Ukrainian public administration. Paper main body.The reform of the system of providing administrative services in Ukraine, including the field of registration of civil status acts, is largely based on the experience of Georgia. Among the many reforms and innovative projects successfully implemented by the Ministry of Justice of Georgia, the House of Justice has a special place. It is a transparent, open, continuous modern structure that offers citizens fast, simplified and subject-oriented services. There are more than 300 services combined, 400 operators work at the same time, the maximum capacity of the service center is 15,000 people a day. The main principle of the House of Justice is that everything is in one place,  all structural subdivisions that provide services to consumers are located under one roof. The reform of the civil registry began in 2004, when the Passport Office, the Citizens’ Registration Office, and the Civil Registry Office were merged under the auspices of the Georgian Ministry of Justice. In 2006, a new semi-autonomous Civil Registry Agency was established. A feature of the system of registration of civil status in Georgia is the granting of some powers to notaries. The notary has the right to register marriage and divorce and to issue certificates of civil registration. The structure and organization of the providing of services in the field of registration of civil status creates a “front office” (customer service area) and a “back office” (area for employees of supermarkets).  In addition, AGR began to offer new types of services. The agency initiated the improvement of services in the Wedding Houses. It upgraded infrastructure and built new wedding houses in district centers. Various services were provided for the marriage ceremony, such as live music, photographs at the request of citizens, and so on. The divorce procedure in Georgia is also much simpler. In the absence of disputes, it is envisaged to issue a divorce certificate on the 6th day after filing for divorce, not a month later as in Ukraine. Public service reform in Georgia has been neither easy nor simple process. The development led to the opening of Public Service Centers, known as the House of Justice, at the regional level and Community Centers at the community level. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies.The analysis of the Georgian experience in the providing of administrative services allows us to conclude that the provision of state services in Georgia and Ukraine differ in content and purpose of their operation. As a rule, the system of providing public services is aimed at properly ensuring the level of social guarantees in society. In world practice, there is openness and transparency between the state and citizens in the provision of public services, and in Ukraine, we do not see the effective interaction between consumers and service providers yet. In addition, it was found that the world practice, on the example of Georgia, is usually focused on the quality of administrative services in the shortest possible time and at the lowest cost, while in Ukraine the filling of the state budget remains a priority. Thus, the experience of Georgia is quite useful for Ukraine in the process of choosing the optimal form of organization of administrative services in the field of registration of civil status.

Public services represent an important dimension of quality of society, as they create the contextual conditions for people to further their quality of life. Romanian public administration reform has brought about a constant institutional transformation, which has influenced both the specific features and the quality of the services. This article aims to analyse trends regarding the perceived quality of public services in Romania, in European comparative perspective, using the data of the European Quality of Life Survey (2003–2016). The article aims to understand the low satisfaction with public services in Romania against the background of the public service reform measures taken by government in this period. The article describes the context of Romanian public administration and public service reform, the most important public policy measures adopted and the most important challenges. The lack of vision in the public service reform, the partial introduction of reform elements, the permanent and, sometimes, conflicting changes are issues that may have influenced the way in which the population perceives the quality of public services. The decentralisation process of public services and the insufficient allocation of public funds for delivering such services at local level might have an impact on their quality and quantity perceived by the population. Keywords: public services; public administration reform; citizens’ satisfaction; New Public Management; New Weberianism.

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.

Abstract. The article examines the mechanisms of process financing informatization of administrative services. The purpose of the article is to determine the sources of funding and prospects for the provision of administrative services in terms of informatization of the public sector of Ukraine. Research methods are comparative analysis of analytical and official statistical data of Ukraine, institutes of international support on the basis of group classification of instruments of financing of Administrative Servics Center (ASC). It is proved that decentralization, development and improvement of the quality of administrative services determine the ASC as a priority area of reforming the system of administrative services in Ukraine. The legal bases of creation and maintenance of functioning of ASC, legal statuses of establishment, principles of process of rendering of administrative services in ASC are defined. The dynamics of the number of administrative service centers and regional features of functioning are analyzed. Sources of financing of ASC (the state budget, regional and city budgets, means of the State fund of regional development, the international projects of technical assistance) are allocated. It is proved that the most common and largest source of funding for informatization processes in the ASC is the state budget (subvention for infrastructure development). The authors propose a forecast model for the creation and development of administrative service centers in Ukraine under conditions of further state funding in appropriate volumes. The necessity of attracting external sources of financing (funds of international technical assistance projects, initiatives of international donors) in the conditions of limited and deficit of the state budget of Ukraine is substantiated. The necessity of modernization of ASC from the point of view of use of IT-technologies is substantiated. Priority areas for comprehensive reform of improving the quality of administrative services are identified: decentralization, simplification, deregulation, institutional capacity development and communication support. Keywords: financing, administrative services, informatization, public sector. JEL Classification D92 Formulas: 0; fig.: 4; tabl.: 1; bibl.: 13.

In the context of the reform of decentralization in Ukraine, which envisages a set of changes, the main purpose of which is the transfer of significant powers and budgets from State bodies to local self-government bodies, the issue of providing high-quality public services to local self-government bodies is extremely important. To do this, you need to first of all not only create the constitutional and legal foundations for improving the quality of public services provided by local authorities, but also expand their number. Methodology. During the writing of the paper, the following research methods were used: the search for available methodological and scientific literature, comparison, clarification of causal relationships, systematization, analysis of documentation and results of researchers' work on the problem of the conducted research and expert evaluation. Results. These processes require not only the renewal or improvement of the elements of the management system that do not function properly, but also a radical transformation of the mechanisms of the state, in particular legal and organizational and functional, ensuring the processes of regulation of decentralization, which is an important factor in achieving the effectiveness of public administration. Practical implications. This issue becomes even more relevant not only from the rosbalanciousness of the system of regulation of procedural elements in the relations of state and local authorities with citizens, but also because of the lack of a slender, clear and understood ideology of such relations, built on the principles of equality, openness and the rule of law. The solution to this problem is especially important in the context of the formation of civil society – it is the quality of administrative services and the qualification of their provision that is evidence of the attitude of the entire mechanism of state power to the person, the degree of respect for his rights and freedoms. Value/originality. The paper proposes to adopt a code "On public services" in order to improve public relations in the provision of public services by subjects of public administration, analyzed legal and regulatory acts on the basis of which local authorities provide public services, as well as legislative acts that define standards for the provision of public services.
