ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL PRINCIPLES OF DETERMINING THE ESSENCE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: THEORETICAL ASPECT

Abstract

The article examines the theoretical aspect of the administrative and legal basis for determining the essence of public administration. In particular, the study of the conceptual and categorical apparatus "public administration" and its relationship with the concept of "public administration" was carried out. It is established that public administration is a relatively new institute in Ukraine and is a branch from public administration, which includes the implementation of management activities by citizens of Ukraine through representative bodies that goes beyond the classical understanding of public administration. It is proved that at the present stage, public administration is at the stage of reform, which involves involving the public in carrying out management activities, which clearly demonstrates its transformation into public administration. It is established that the administrative and legal principles of public administration are formed on the basis of the principles of public administration, which are envisaged in the European Union, as well as the principles of public administration, which are classic for Ukraine and enshrined at the legislative level. It is proved that the principles of public administration of domestic legislation are formed as a generally methodical, socio-economic, socio-political and divided into three groups: general theoretical: observance of democratic principles, the rule of law, legality, observance of rights and freedoms of man and citizen, humanity, sociality; special: proper governance, accountability, openness, delegation of powers, transparency, compliance with the interests of the people, efficiency, adaptability, objectivity; Specific: principles of regional management, protection of property rights and others. It is emphasized that this list of administrative and legal foundations of public administration is inexhaustible, since it is transformed in accordance with the requirements of modern society and should be constantly being improved. It is emphasized that the problem of incompleteness of the process of doctrinal processing and formulation of the concept of "public administration" can lead to the facts of the emergence of disparate examples of interpretation, significantly complicating the practical law enforcement of this term.
