VECTORS OF DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION POLICY IN THE SYSTEM OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

2025-11-05T05:07:49+00:00

The article examines the theoretical and methodological principles of
the development of information policy in the system of public administration in the
context of digital transformation. Attention is focused on the fact that the information
policy of a modern state is not only an instrument of managerial influence, but also a
strategic factor in ensuring the effectiveness of public administration, transparency of
government, accountability and the formation of public trust. It is determined that in
the context of global informatization and the growth of hybrid threats, information
policy acquires a systemic nature, combining security, communication, legal,
organizational and technological components. The paper identifies the main directions
of information policy development in the public sector, in particular: digitalization of
management processes; ensuring information and cybersecurity; improving strategic
communications between government and society; harmonization of national
information policy with European standards; development of human potential in the
field of public administration and creation of an effective institutional model for the
implementation of state information policy. The need for the formation of a single state
information space integrated with international networks, the introduction of artificial
intelligence technologies, big data analytics and e-democracy is substantiated.
It is emphasized that the successful implementation of information policy is
impossible without increasing the level of digital competencies of civil servants,
developing media literacy of citizens and forming a culture of cyber hygiene.
Conceptual approaches to building a modern model of information governance based on the principles of openness, innovation, cyber resilience and partnership between the
state, business and civil society are proposed.
It is concluded that effective information policy is a necessary condition for
ensuring national security, democratic development and increasing the competitiveness
of Ukraine in the European and global digital space.

DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC MANAGEMENT MECHANISMSFOR THE PROVISION OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

2025-11-05T05:15:50+00:00

The presented article is written on a topical topic regarding the
improvement of the rules for the provision of household waste management services
provided in territorial communities, in connection with the adoption of the Law of
Ukraine «On Waste Management». The purpose of the scientific research was to identify
problematic aspects of the provision of household waste management services, to develop
a proposal and to improve the provision of basic waste management operations:
collection, transportation, recovery and disposal of household waste. During the
development of proposals for improving the mechanism for the provision of waste
management services, the main requirements for standard contracts were developed,
which are components of the rules for the provision of these services, and proposals were
prepared to improve the provisions of standard contracts on the rights and obligations of
Consumers and Providers of household waste management services. The aspects of the
provision of the service were considered, taking into account the following schemes:
container scheme; container-free scheme; separate collection point (including mobile);
upon application. The aspects of providing services for various types of household waste
are also taken into account: mixed and or separately collected waste (paper, cardboard;
glass; plastic; wood; textiles; metal; packaging; biowaste, including waste from green
spaces; waste from electrical and electronic equipment; waste from batteries and
accumulators; hazardous waste as part of household waste); bulky waste; repair waste.
The article proposes to determine the main requirements for the activities of
administrators for providing services in accordance with the basic law and to improve
the issues of tariff setting for the activities of the Administrator.

MAJOR TRENDS OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION POLICY

2025-11-05T05:27:10+00:00

The development of new technologies greatly facilitates the process of
dynamic transformation within the international system. The subject of international
information, as well as its goals and operational areas, are subject to the
multidimensional influence of technological factors. Technological progress leads to the
redistribution of information in the international environment, contributes to a change in
its structure, forms connections between key participants in international relations, is a
source of increasing the range, intensity and effectiveness of cross-border actions. The
information revolution is the basis of the «infrastructure of globalization», thus
influencing the dynamics of processes that lead to changes in the main parameters of the
international environment. Information and communication technologies are a unique
type of technology that, unlike traditional industrial technologies, not only provides new
methods of production of goods, but also entails important systemic changes in the social,
economic and political spheres, including on an international scale. This article focuses
on the analysis of both current trends in the technological transformation of the means of
generating, collecting, processing and storing international information, and the
consequences of their application in a globalizing world.
Global information and communication technologies have greatly facilitated
international communication, trade and cultural exchange. In the modern world, it is not
difficult to communicate and share ideas. Global information social networks unite
people around the world. They quickly disseminate information and make the world more
transparent. However, these networks are becoming a tool for powerful influence on
national and international politics. The relationship between globalization and global
information and communication technologies creates both opportunities and challenges,
with the potential to bridge or widen the gap in global access to resources, knowledge
and services. However, they act as a «double-edged sword». In the future, they can both
contribute to the progress of humanity and lead to global catastrophes. Therefore, it is
important to implement technical innovations responsibly, balancing technological
advances with ethical considerations.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CATEGORY-CONCEPTUAL APPARATUS IN THE FIELD OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS: THE CONCEPT OF CONSTANCY AND RESILIENCE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS

2025-11-05T05:48:34+00:00

The dynamic development of the electronic communications sphere, the
change in socio-political relations arising in it due to the new properties and capabilities
of modern information and communication technologies, the processes of digitalization
and digital transformations, the requirements for entering the European digital market, etc. actualize the problem of compliance of the category and conceptual apparatus with
the above processes. The absence of the concept of sustainability of electronic
communication networks and the contradictory nature of the concept of sustainability of
electronic communication networks in the current legislation in the context of their
widespread use in conceptual, strategic and program documents on the development of
the electronic communications sector require the development/clarification of these
concepts. The article analyzes various approaches to the definition of the terms and
application of «sustainability» and «resilience» in national legislation for various
spheres of life of citizens, society, and the State, including the electronic communications
sphere. The authors prove that there is no separate definition of «sustainability of
electronic communications networks», despite its widespread use in national legislation,
and that the term «sustainability of electronic communications networks» is controversial
in legislation. The authors propose new formulation of the terms «sustainability» and
«resilience» of electronic communication networks which considers the peculiarities of
their properties in terms of sustainable development and the essence of resilience, and
also defines the relationship between the terms and actualizes the need to make
appropriate changes, first of all, to the Law of Ukraine «On Electronic
Communications». It is noted that in the context of martial law (state of emergency) and
emergencies, the priority is primarily to ensure the resilience properties of electronic
communication networks compared to their sustainability properties.

NETOCRACY IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: IS A NETWORK-ORIENTED STATE POSSIBLE?

2025-11-08T00:16:18+00:00

The article explores the phenomenon of netocracy as a new form of
social and managerial organization that arises in the context of the information society
and digital globalization. It is substantiated that netocracy in public administration
appears as a system in which power is based on the possession of knowledge, information
resources, network communications and digital capital. The essence of the concept of
«network-oriented state» is revealed, its main characteristics are determined (openness,
horizontality, adaptability, transparency and the ability to self-regulation). It is
established that the transition to a network model of public administration involves not
only technological modernization, but also a change in management philosophy, the key
components of which are politics, citizen participation and digital legitimacy. The
potential of netocracy mechanisms for increasing the efficiency of public administration
through the implementation of e-government, platform solutions, open data, digital
communication between government and society is analyzed. The risks of a «netocracy»
network-oriented state are outlined (concentration of information power in the hands of
technological elites, algorithmization of management processes, threats of digital
inequality and information security). It is argued that the formation of a network-oriented
state requires a balance between technological rationality and democratic
accountability, the development of digital ethics and new forms of civic participation.
It is found that netocracy can become the conceptual basis for the modernization
of public administration in Ukraine, contribute to the formation of a new type of state –
a state of knowledge, trust and cooperation, where information is the main resource of
power, and network communications are a mechanism for ensuring the legitimacy and
effectiveness of management.

ANALYSIS OF FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE STRATEGIES OF UKRAINE IN THE CONDITIONS OF INFORMATION WAR

2025-11-08T00:24:02+00:00

The article is devoted to the study of foreign experience in the field of
ensuring information security, since recently the information sphere has turned into an
arena of confrontation. After all, the aggressor state uses new information technologies
to influence the consciousness of citizens, incite national and religious hatred, propagate
aggressive war, change the constitutional order by force, encroach on the sovereignty
and territorial integrity of Ukraine. In order to counteract such manifestations, it is worth
studying the relevant positive experience of other countries in this area.
The full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine led to a serious
rethinking of conceptual approaches to the prospects for ensuring the security and
defense of the European continent, the development of new priorities and approaches to
the implementation of foreign policy, which was reflected in the research of leading
analytical centers.
The main approaches to ensuring information countermeasures in the national
security of the European Union, Great Britain, France, Germany, etc. are considered.
Particular emphasis is placed on ensuring information security in the USA, the first
country to begin building an information society, turning the information industry into a
strategic resource. In the USA, information security issues are closely interconnected,
information policy in this country is a priority for ensuring national security. The US
Department of Defense Directive «Information Warfare» outlined a policy for protecting
information resources and gave appropriate importance to the concept of «information
warfare». The directive covered various aspects of information security, in particular,
psychological impact on the enemy, operational security, electronic interference,
information intelligence, information protection and others. In order to guarantee
information security in the USA, great importance is attached to the management of
information resources. The main goal of this is to secure its own information security
system and influence the information security system of a potential enemy. The American
model of ensuring information security fully allows for the conduct of information warfare, which includes planning and conducting active information and psychological
operations as a foreign policy tool.
