METHODS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF CIVIL SOCIETY

Abstract

In the present article, features of methods of public administration, which are used in the social environment, are considered. The international experience of normative and legal regulation of social activity is studied. The relationship between social phenomena and peculiarities of state administration in the historical, legal, social, and economic aspects is established. The effectiveness of domestic methods based on international experience has been investigated. The author presents his own classification of methods of state management of civil society. The definition of the concept of civil society as a phenomenon with developed economic, cultural, legal and political relations between its members, independent of the state that interacts with it is given. Hence, the methodology of theoretical and legal analysis of civil society covers all aspects of life, such as the processes of achieving freedom, equality, justice and other human values.

It is noted that the presence of problems in the state administration of Ukraine, in particular ineffective activity of institutes of state power and local self-government, corruption, lack of effective interaction between the state and civil society institutions is the result of ignoring objective scientific approaches to the formation of a coherent and logically well-established system of management of society; lack of a strategic vision for the improvement and development of the state and its institutes for the long-term and medium-term perspective; lack of methodology for adaptation and introduction of advanced foreign experience of public administration, especially the countries of the European Union. The solution of this problem on the path to the reform of public administration can be realized through the reform of political leadership.
