DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION THEORIES

Abstract

Undoubtedly, the successful reformation of the public administration system in the Eastern Partnership countries in the context of the strategy of their integration into the EU should be based only on the relevant theoretical principles that are successfully implemented in the practice of the European Union. The theory of neo-functionalism determines the possibility of managing integration processes on the basis of intergovernmental cooperation and the development of economic ties. It is in combination with the concept of democratic governance that the new public management has become the basis for the EU enlargement process over the past decades.

Consequently, the section analyzes the main theories, concepts, and models, EU approaches to the reform of the public administration system, their comparative analysis.
