Some aspects of improving the effectiveness of public administration in contingencies

Introduction. The nature of problems and challenges that arise in the modern state involves rethinking its functions, tasks and approaches to their solution in order to respond in a timely manner and take effective action. The most important tool for this is the law – the main regulator of socio-economic relations. Theoretical analysis. The balance of interests of the individual person and society as a whole is constantly under the influence of objective and subjective factors. The state is forced to adapt to the changing situation, including due to the accumulation of unforeseen phenomena in the economy, social and spiritual spheres. The article focuses on some aspects of increasing the effectiveness of public administration in modern conditions, as well as unforeseen phenomena of multidirectional nature (the pandemic COVID-19, environmental and man-made disasters, sanctions effects, escalated political confrontation between Russia and Western countries). Results. Taken together, all aspects to which attention is drawn require the adoption of non-standard and prompt (quick) solutions, the consequence of which will be to counter emerging threats, ensuring security and balancing the interests of the individual, society and the state.

The problem of differentiation of the competence of the federal and regional authorities of the state environmental control (supervision)

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problem of delimitation of competence for carrying out control and supervisory activities vertically – between federal and regional executive authorities that implement the function of environmental control (supervision). Theoretical analysis. The delimitation of the powers of federal and regional authorities in the field of state environmental control (supervision) is rather vague. The transfer of a large amount of such powers has led to the complication of the system of state environmental control (supervision). The objects of regional state environmental supervision are determined according to the residual principle without the mandatory fixing their list. At the same time, the legislation does not provide for the possibility of transferring the powers of regional executive authorities in the field of environmental protection to federal authorities. Empirical analysis. In practice, there is often duplication of control and supervision powers in the environmental sphere between federal executive authorities and executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as local governments, which negatively affects their performance. In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation there are no specialized bodies exercising the implementation of the powers transferred by the Russian Federation. Results. It is concluded that there is no effective interaction between environmental control (supervision) bodies at all levels of government due to insufficient regulation of this issue in the legislation. In order to eliminate legal conflicts, simplify the interaction between subjects, the article substantiates the necessity of adoption of the Federal Law “On Environmental Control (Supervision)”; development and adoption of administrative regulations for the interaction of federal and regional environmental control (supervision) bodies; conclusion of agreements on the “reverse delegation” of powers from the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to the federal bodies of state environmental control (supervision).

The Peculiarities of Project Management Methods Implementation in the Activities of Tax Authorities

Introduction. The introduction of project management practices in administrations of all levels is one of the key tasks that the state sets before the Executive authorities today. However, the functional structure of state bodies significantly limits the effectiveness of the project approach. There is a need to adapt the methods of corporate project management to the strictly regulated activities of state and local administrations and services. Theoretical analysis. In the last decade, the Federal Tax Service (FTS) of Russia has shown impressive results in the modernization and optimization of its activities based on the introduction of project management principles. However, the application of the project approach in the performance of functions and tasks of regional and local tax authorities has its own characteristics and limitations. Empirical analysis. The study concludes that the classical principles of project management will not be highly effective in the process activities of territorial tax officials due to the rigidity of the traditional approach to change. Results. In the conditions of high uncertainty and constant changes in the tax legislation in the territorial divisions of the Federal Tax Service, it is advisable to apply flexible methods of project management on the basis of the Agile family. Overcoming barriers to the adaptation of Agile technologies to the activities of tax administrations is possible by the improvement of the legal framework and the creation of a methodology for the implementation of project management in the tax authorities of the regional and local level.

Development of Russia in the Conditions of Global Economic Instability

Introduction. The current stage of globalization is characterized by increased economic instability, which requires a search the mechanism that allows to minimize the emerging economic risks and to obtain some advantages in the changed circumstances. The author makes the hypothesis that in our country we should go towards the creation of economic and technological leading state. Theoretical analysis. The analysis of structural shifts in the global economy demonstrates the need for changes in the design of global and national regulation, because it isn’t acceptable to the vast majority of countries and their associations. The emergence of new contradictions and crisis phenomena at the national and global level makes necessary the determination of directions for transition the domestic economy to sustainable economic growth. The formation of effective economic system will allow Russia to become the world center of economic influence. Empirical analysis. The analysis and diagnosis of the economic growth in the Russian Federation indicate the entrance of the domestic economy in the zone of protracted recession. This involves the working out managerial decisions aimed at overcoming recession and moving to the phase of economic growth on the basis of mo dernization of state management system in the conditions of new global challenges. Results. The system character of solutions existing problems on the basis of transformation of the fundamentals of the economic system to improve its dynamism and adaptability is justified.
