Th e author notes the introduction of the lawyer’s monopoly in Ukraine had to take four steps. However, at the last stage of the introduction of the lawyer’s monopoly, the legislator amended the procedural codes regulating the course of civil, commercial, and administrative proceedings. With these changes, the legislator expanded the concept “self-representation” by substituting the concept of “representation”. In addition, the legislator brought in a draft to revoke the lawyer’s monopoly which was approved by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. Th e scientist states that the relevant strategy of abolishing the lawyer’s monopoly is not a positive phenomenon. Th e introduction of court representation of citizens, business entities, state bodies, central and local authorities by a professional institute of advocacy is an upside in reforming the Ukrainian legal system. However, according to the author, the profession of a lawyer is primarily aimed at providing defense in criminal proceedings or when bringing to administrative responsibility or considering a case of an administrative off ense. At the same time, the scientist marks that the reversion to the previous wording of Article 131-2 of the Constitution of Ukraine is inadmissible since the provision of legal services in Ukraine should be carried out professionally. Aft er analyzing the legislation of the Republic of Poland, the author has concluded that lawyers and legal advisers, who carry out practical legal activities on a professional basis and permits, provide the public with legal aid. However, the only diff erence between a lawyer and a legal adviser in the Republic of Poland is that the latter cannot provide legal assistance in 1 Postgraduate Student at the Department of Commercial and Administrative Law, Vasyl Stus Donetsk National University, riabov.d@donnu.edu.ua, ORCID: orcid.org/00000003-3864-4859.","PeriodicalId":300317,"journal":{"name":"Reality of Politics","volume":"338 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133341290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It turns out that the formation of a quality public information space contributes to the development of civil society, information society and information democracy.

Th e level of international competitiveness and subjectivity of a modern state depends on the successful positioning of its political brand, secured by the choice of adequate tools for achieving the goals and objectives. Th is research aims at studying the peculiarities of the public diplomacy resource potential and its use in the process of political branding in Germany. Th e research methodology combines system and axiological approaches, as well as discourse analysis; this helps to reveal the structural relationships within the brand, and their correlation with the peculiarities of national political and economic development and global trends. Th e content of the political brand is studied through the prism of the interaction of the public (politics, economics, public administration) and national (mentality, culture, traditions) components that correlate with the level of political and economic development. National political leaders, public and political institutions play a leading role in generating the key message of a state. It is proved that public diplomacy expands the possibilities of successful implementation of economic, political, socio-cultural initiatives of the state, based on partnership and cooperation with representatives of the international community. Th e main tools of public diplomacy include setting the agenda, synchronization of information messages by government agencies, the use of a wide range of communication channels and special events aimed at building trust and lasting relationships between international actors. Th e article pays special attention to the study of the content of the branding campaign «Land of Ideas». It presents Germany as an active actor in the international political space, focused on the use of brand-new technologies in all spheres of society to ensure sustainable development. Th e authors prove that the current branding campaign focuses on economic (sustainable development and citizens’ welfare), technological (technological innovation, energy effi ciency, environmental safety), and cultural (dialogue, intercultural communication) aspects. Th e key ideas of the branding strategy are sustainable economic development, manufacturability and digitalization, environmental friendliness and energy effi ciency, partnership dialogue and cooperation. German public authorities are actively involved in the process of political branding, which is carried out at the internal and external levels through public diplomacy. Th e key ideas of the political brand are presented to the domestic public through constant two-way communication on specialized online platforms, meetings of high-ranking offi cials with representatives of municipalities, and citizens’ potential is actively involved in various in-novative projects.

However, between the authorities (state and self-governing) and public organizations, as representatives of the interests of civil society, mostly subject-object relations are established, where the subject is the government. Th e article is devoted to fi nding an answer to the question: can the model of subject-subject relations between the government and civil society, where both social institutions are equal participants in the political process, have practical application? Analysis of social changes in Western Europe and Ukraine gives grounds to support the point of view of those scholars who consider civil society the basis of the state, a factor that gives a specifi c character to each state formation, regardless of the generality of democratic processes. At the same time, attention is drawn to the heterogeneity of civil society, which is a barrier to its consolidation and strengthening of subjectivity. Th ere is a noticeable increase in competition between the state and civil society in terms of infl uencing society, as well as the manipulation of public movements by public authorities to achieve political goals. However, a fairly high level of public confi dence in public organizations and the potential for their advocacy allow the use of public infl uence to activate the population and strengthen the position of civil society in relations with the authorities. 1 Doctor of Sciences (Public Administration), Professor, Department of Public Management and Administration, Educational and Scientifi c Institute of Economics, Management, Law and Information Technology, Poltava State Agrarian Academy, Ukraine, email: tamara.lozynska@pdaa.edu.ua.
