Modern State and civil society: promising directions and forms of interaction in the field of public administration
Abstract
The work embodies the author’s view on how interstate integration and globalisation also affect public administration in a particular State, in particular, they introduce a passive role into the very understanding of the State, form a multiple range of actors, both external and internal, especially in the field of civil society, which take over the functions previously performed by the State direct certain areas of public authorities' activities to address global issues (transnational crime, the consequences of global environmental disasters, etc.), set trends at the level of public administration towards greater decentralisation of the competence of public authorities and, at the same time, towards globalisation of management of certain areas related to global climate change and other global problems.
It is emphasised that in the newest understanding of the paradigm of relations between the modern State and civil society, there is a socially oriented vector of the State, which is diverse and closely related to the needs of the population. The state acts as a kind of “bridge” between society and the potential opportunities for its development and satisfaction of the widest possible range of needs, establishing the so-called “public relations” direction.
The authors propose their own interpretation of public administration as the functioning of a public entity system established by the State, whose activities are aimed at ensuring sustainable development of the State in the process of providing administrative services, implementing laws and by-laws, and interacting with civil society in the national and international dimensions.
The promising directions of interaction between the modern State and civil society, which are divided into separate forms, include interaction of the State with members of diasporas through various institutions and practices, interaction of the State with civil society institutions formed by higher education students, interaction of the State with civil society in the field of environmental security of the State.
