Theoretical foundations of organizational and legal mechanisms of public management in Ukraine

The article analyzes theoretical bases of the research of organizational and legal mechanisms of public management in Ukraine, shows the importance of proper theoretical study of their nature, components, interconnections and interdependence. There were investigated two approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “mechanisms of management”, which can be described as structural-organizational and structural-functional. It was revealed that the evolution of the essence of public management mechanisms, including organizational and legal, was stipulated by the development of democracy and civil society, and an intermediate stage of transition from state to public management has become public administration as a kind of administrative activities of public authorities. It is shown that in the development of new theoretical foundations of organizational and legal mechanisms of public management in Ukraine there should be considered an element of publicity in a way as it is actually present at a particular stage of a new administrative system formation and integrated in the mode of its functioning.
