Abstract

The article reveals methodological aspects and shows domestic and foreign experience in teaching courses on the history of public management and public administration. The aim of the article is to identify the optimal options for preparing the training courses "History of Public Management" and "History of Public Administration" based on theoretical analysis and systematization of existing approaches in Ukraine and Poland.The analysis of research by Ukrainian scientists who laid the methodological foundation of the science of public administration is carried out, taking into account the possibilities of transition to a new paradigm of public administration. The publications of materials of training courses on the history of state and law, history of public administration and history of public administration in Ukraine and Poland are summarized. What these courses have in common is teaching them to students of legal specialties, public management and administration and management, and in-depth attention is paid to the domestic history of state and law. In Poland, the most popular and methodically provided with manuals is the course "History of Administration".The training courses "History and Science of Administration", "History of Administration. Selection of Sources" and others are also noted. Summarizing these and other developments, Polish scholars distinguish the following areas of research and study: history of law, history of state systems, general history of law, history of law in Poland, history of the state in Poland, history of political and legal doctrines, history of administration. The history of administration is considered as a branch of the science of administration, which describes the previously existing state of public administration, its central and territorial organization and means of activity, as well as the adopted value systems and the specifics of the existing legal system, with an emphasis on the intended goals, implemented tasks, as well as the results of administrative activity, without ignoring the socio-economic, political and cultural environment and national relations The discussion considered methodological issues on the correlation of historical disciplines, the choice of civilizational or formational basis of courses, the size and type of presentation of materials on the domestic history of public administration.
