Special attention is paid to such issues as arranging an efficient interaction within the ‘public administration bodies – the public’ system, and shaping a positive image of the government and its representatives. The guidebook is a rich source of practical advice ranging from psychological tests (to identify one’s personality type, style of management, ability to listen etc.) to practical recommendations to civil servants (on how to improve one’s personal charisma, prepare managerial decisions, prepare a report, coordinate a meeting etc.) to personal improvement tips (methods of efficient memory use, managing one’s attention, strengthening one’s will and individual creative capacities, managing inter-personal relations etc.).

Glossary of Public Administration Terms and Definitions

It may not be possible to institute and develop the science of public administration without first setting up the body of concepts and definitions. The key problem in grasping the subject of public administration is about recognising its progress, in other words, the genesis of the subject in the context of the world’s administration practice and Ukrainian statehood development. The Glossary contains definitions and descriptions of more than 660 basic terms and notions of most use in public administration theory and practice. A considerable portion of the glossary body comprises terms that have made it to the administrative lexicon of late in the process of public administration development in Ukraine.

All publications are availible in ukrainian .
