STABILITY OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL CONTENT

Abstract

The article examines the concept of stability of public administration from the standpoint of constitutional and legal content. The directions of the constitutional reform are analyzed, the peculiarities of the subjectivity of the authorities in the process of reforms are determined. The article substantiates the development of public relations in Ukraine in the conditions of constitutional reform, reveals the institutional and theoretical foundations of the transformation process in public administration. The author’s classification of features of constitutional regulation of separate components of public administration in Ukraine is developed, on this basis the author’s approach concerning development of new forms of public administration activity is offered. The peculiarities of the constitutional changes implemented in 2014–2021 in Ukraine from the standpoint of social needs are analyzed. Recommendations for improving the principles of legal, organizational and institutional support for the implementation of democratic foundations of public administration in the transformation of Ukrainian society have been developed. The criteria of stability of public administration activity (PUА) in the conditions of constitutional reform are determined. The dependence of the results of constitutional reform on the development of program goals of reform, the presence of appropriate “constitutional traditionalism”, the presence of political perception of reforms is substantiated. It is proposed to define the stability of PUА as: absolutely stable (extremely stable system); absolutely stable system of public administration (or extremely stable system); conditionally stable system of public administration; unstable system of public administration. It is proved that the stability of management provides the ability to achieve a programmed result. The conceptual model of the transitive model of sustainable development of public administration is substantiated, on the basis of which the concept of stability of public administration activity is fixed. It is proved that the essentially conservative model of public administration in the process of reforms should show a stable state of functioning, which can be determined on the basis of criterion analysis of the components of reforms.
