ESSENCE AND CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE: THEORETICAL GENERALIZATION

Abstract

INTRODUCTION Ukraine's choice of the path of European integration as one that meets its aspirations to become part of the most developed countries of the world naturally leads to the need to focus on the implementation of the European model of state governance. In connection with this, there is a need for an understanding of the management model inherent in the European Union countries and the adaptation of a national model of public administration to it. This allows us to consider allocation and prediction of possible ways of transformation of the national model of state governance 1 . It should be noted that since the second half of the 20th century, in the leading countries of the world, the transformation of state governance systems gradually took place; scientists, specialists developed new concepts, introduced new models and innovative mechanisms (competitive, organizational, structural, complex, etc.), which met certain conditions of social development. At the end of the twentieth century the concept emerges – "governance", the basis of which is the change in the nature of social relations – the transition from predominantly subjectobject relations in power-public interaction to the subject-subjective, partnership relations, which reflects the relationship is not vertical subordination, but the horizontal coordination of various social actors. "Naturally, within the executive branch or within the executive vertical, the subject-object relations must exist, but the interaction between executive authorities and civil society institutions, executive bodies and representative institutions, the relations between different organizations within the civil society must be built on new principles" 2 .
