THE MODERN PARADIGM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Abstract

The article examines the modern concept of public administration, which was formed as a result of the evolution of managerial and economic thought from the middle of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. It is noted that the modern concept of public administration is a thoroughly systematized set of new theoretical provisions that correspond to the challenges of the time and change the fundamental methodological foundations of public administration. Therefore, it is quite possible to define it as a set of views, ways of understanding public administration as a subject of research. Three stages of the formation of the modern concept of public administration are highlighted: the stage of origin; stage of formation; the stage of introducing public administration as a type of government in modern society. The main components of the modern concept of public administration are determined using a multi-paradigm approach in order to clarify the main differences between the concepts of “public administration”, “public administration” and “public administration”.
