PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND ESTIMATION OF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT EFFICIENCY

Abstract

The success of the neoliberal reforms of the public administration system in the Eastern Partnership countries is primarily due to the degree of positive balance in hand of the economic and social consequences of the authorities reforms. But these consequences are formed not only by the authorities, as a professional subject of public administration (in the modern world, civil society institutions are full members of the formation of goals, tasks, and results of reforms while speaking, in essence, as objects of governance). The systematic disadvantage of reformist actions of the authorities in the Eastern Partnership countries is the exclusion of partnerships from governance processes and rulemaking, non-recognition of civil society not only by the beneficiary but also by the key customer of the desired results of socio-economic transformations. Therefore, existing practice, the implementation of ENP in the context of support for the integration of Eastern Europe and the implementation of reforms in the public administration system has encountered a number of contradictions related to the difficulties of the objective nature, to which we refer to the following. The ENP relates the economic integration of Eastern European countries with the transfer of sovereignty to EU institutions but without the direct participation of representatives of these countries in public administration institutions. Consequently, the level and dynamics of the integration of the Eastern Partnership countries are directly dependent on the real desire of politicians and business to converge with EU standards and norms, and the role of the theoretical foundations of Neo-functionalization remains insignificant. This makes it impossible to propose a general action plan for all the countries of the Eastern Partnership. After all, the process of integration and its dynamics take place on several levels: political leaders and governments of interested countries; their population, which is not always positively perceived by integration processes; the business for which euro integration is connected in the first place, with the loss of competitiveness in the European market.
