TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC GOVERNANCE SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF CHANGES TO THE CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE: SETTING THE OBJECTIVE OF RESEARCH

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the process of constitutional reform by analysing the organizational impact of the results of reforming the public administration system. Methodological principles and theoretical aspects of initiation, formation and formalized consolidation of constitutional changes in public administration are studied. The general process of formation of special mechanisms of public administration reform and influence on such process of systemic constitutional reforms is characterized. It is proved that the general algorithm of constitutional changes requires a strategic understanding of the consequences of constitutional reform, taking in to account external factors influencing the reform process, maintaining cornerstones of constitutional principles, adherence to global trends on public, political, economic, and social human rights. The basic principles of constitutional changes are the improvement of national legislation, ensuring socio-political approval of constitutional reforms. It is established that the rational content of constitutional reform requires appropriate legal content, transformation of the system of public authorities and local self-government, rationalization of the mechanism of public-private partnership, as well as political and ideological content of reform. It is substantiated that it needs its own methodological content of public administration reform in the context of foreign experience in the organization of public administration. To this end, the main trends in the constitution of public administration mechanisms at the central and regional levels in the context of integration processes have been identified, and our own methodological model for assessing the results of reforms has been developed. The recommendations and proposals formulated in the article can be used in research on the implementation of constitutional changes at both state and regional levels and are of practical interest to managers, academics, civil servants.
