The article emphasizes the importance of understanding intangible heritage as a factor that shapes not only the cultural landscape of the country, but also contributes to strengthening national security and social cohesion. The current legislation in the field of intangible cultural heritage protection is analyzed, in particular, regulatory legal acts that regulate the process of identification, preservation, promotion and documentation of elements that have special value for individual communities and regions. Particular attention is paid to the practical experience of local governments, cultural institutions and public organizations that actively participate in the preservation of intangible cultural heritage through the implementation of projects, preparation of nomination dossiers for inclusion of elements in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding. It is noted that a number of unique elements common in certain regions of Ukraine are currently under threat of extinction due to urbanization, military operations, changing lifestyles and insufficient awareness of the population. In this regard, an important task is not only to create conditions for their preservation, but also to actively inform society about the risks, popularize intangible cultural heritage among young people and at the international level. It is emphasized that support for intangible cultural heritage should be considered as a component of national policy and humanitarian security, because the preservation of cultural identity is the key to the stable development of the state and its identity in a globalized world.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/236INDIVIDUAL STROKES AND TRENDS OF HUMANISTIC DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION PARADIGMS IN THE CONTEXT OF CHANGING THE MANAGEMENT VECTOR2025-06-10T10:45:20+00:00Oksana HORISHNAvisnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>The article is devoted to the analysis of scientific achievements on the development of the humanistic paradigm of education, the study of new trends and touches in its development in modern conditions. In particular, the genesis of the formation of the humanistic paradigm of education is briefly traced. The urgency of the problem under study, which becomes critical, is emphasized, since today, as ever, the priority of a human -centrist approach and the need to form democratic values in education applicants. The analysis of scientific achievements demonstrates great attention to scientists to substantiate the structure and content of the humanistic paradigm of education. The essence of the term "paradigm" is considered in terms of different sciences, which confirms different views of scientists on the characteristics of the paradigm and its classification. The purpose of the article is to consider the tendencies and individual characteristic strokes of the humanistic paradigm of education, to distinguish its influence on the development of the personality of education, the study of advantages, and the warning of the humanistic paradigm at the present stage. The following trends in the development of a humanistic paradigm that influence the content and quality of the educational process in the higher education institution are considered: priorities of humanistic educational policy; reflection of reforms in strengthening the humanistic aspect of education in the normative legal bases of education; expanding the rights and responsibilities of consumers of educational services as a characteristic of the humanistic paradigm of education, the use of ideas of postmodern pedagogy in the educational process; strengthening of social responsibility of management entities; outline the humanistic management vector; digitalization of the educational space of a higher education institution. The advantages and warnings of the development of the humanistic paradigm of education are highlighted in the context of its special characteristics: reflexive approach, human-centric approach, competent approach, subjective-subjective interaction in educational and management processes, axiological context of educational process, academic education, academic freedom, academic freedom, academic freedom of education, academic freedom of education. Integration of the emotional and cognitive component in the educational process, reorientation of the outlook of the personality of the applicant's personality to humanistic values, orientation of educational systems on the formation of traits of humanity personality of education, developmental humane environment, emphasis on self -education and self -development of personality. The prospects of further exploration may be the study of the impact of the humanistic paradigm on the system of education of the personality of the applicant of education and the development of criteria for evaluating such influence.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/237PECULIARITIES OF THE CONCEPTUAL APPROACH TO STRATEGIC PLANNING IN THE SPHERE OF NATIONAL SECURITY: EXPERIENCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA2025-06-10T10:45:44+00:00Ihor CHUMAK visnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the experience of strategic planning in the field of national security of the United States of America, which is considered one of the most developed and structured in the world. The historical evolution of this process is considered, its key stages and factors that influenced the formation of the modern US approach to national security are identified. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the conceptual principles underlying the American model of strategic planning and their adaptation to changes in the international security situation. The essence and content of the basic categorical concepts of «state policy» and «strategy» in the field of security are revealed, and the features of their interpretation in the scientific discourse of the United States are highlighted. The interrelation of these concepts is emphasized, where policy determines the general goals and directions of state actions, and strategy formulates the means of achieving these goals in specific conditions. Various approaches of American researchers to the interpretation of these concepts and their role in the formation of an effective national security system are analyzed. The structure of strategic planning in the United States is outlined, including an analysis of the mechanisms for developing, coordinating, and implementing strategic documents. The functions of key actors in the formation of state policy and strategy in the security sector are determined, in particular, the National Security Council, the Pentagon, Congress, think tanks, and the executive branch. The processes of interagency interaction and their importance for ensuring the unity of strategic vision and actions are highlighted. The procedures for preparing strategic documents, in particular, the US National Security Strategy, its role in shaping the general course of security policy, as well as methods for classifying strategies by levels and areas of action are studied. The legislative foundations of strategy are analyzed, in particular, the significance of the National Security Act of 1947, which initiated the modern strategic management system, and the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986, which radically reformed the structure of defense planning and laid the foundation for interagency coordination. The key principles of strategic thinking inherent in the American model are revealed, in particular, the emphasis on a clear distinction between political goals (what exactly needs to be done) and the implementation strategy (how to do it). The views of leading American scholars and practitioners are analyzed, who emphasize the need to take into account national interests, assess risks and threats, as well as achieve synergy between all actors in the security and defense sector. The effectiveness of the existing strategy system in the United States is assessed, in particular its advantages, such as institutional stability, transparency, scientific validity and the involvement of think tanks. At the same time, a number of shortcomings are indicated, including excessive bureaucratization, insufficient flexibility to new threats, the complexity of integrating actions at the tactical level, and political influences that can weaken strategic unity.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/238MECHANISMS OF OPENNESS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THE CULTURAL SPHERE2025-06-10T10:46:10+00:00Oleksandr DONCHENKO visnyk@dano.dp.uaMykhailo SYCHENKO visnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>In today's context of public administration transformation, the issue of openness and transparency of government activities, including in the field of culture, is of particular importance. Cultural policy performs an important function of forming social capital, national identity, strengthening civic unity and enhancing the international authority of the state. However, despite the strategic role of this sphere, public administration mechanisms do not always meet the requirements of openness, accountability and effective interaction with stakeholders. The relevance of the study is stipulated by the need to overcome the fragmentation of management processes, to overcome distrust of public institutions and to form new management models focused on innovation, democracy and partnership. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate the mechanisms of openness of public administration in the field of culture, as well as to identify institutional and practical tools that contribute to increasing transparency, accountability and efficiency of management decision-making. The study solved a number of tasks, namely, analyzed scientific approaches to defining the essence of openness in public administration; characterized the current state of mechanisms for ensuring transparency in Ukraine's cultural policy; identified barriers and risks associated with insufficient openness of institutions; summarized international experience and outlined areas for its adaptation in the national context; and highlighted practices that contribute to the formation of an effective accountability system in the field of culture. The article proposes a model of open governance based on e-democracy tools, public monitoring, digital transformation, and participatory planning. It is substantiated that the introduction of open approaches in the field of cultural policy not only improves the quality of management decisions, but also stimulates the development of creative industries, reduces corruption risks and strengthens social trust in public authorities.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/239MARKETING AS A MECHANISM FOR REFORMING THE DOMESTIC PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM2025-06-10T11:02:36+00:00Valerii RYZHYNKOV visnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the problem of using marketing as a mechanism for reforming the domestic public administration system. The adaptation of marketing technologies to the needs of forming a strategy for public administration reforms should be carried out on the basis of determining the directions of their influence on the strategy of innovative changes. In general, it is marketing technologies in the process of reforms that allow combining public administration, market and public mechanisms to optimize not only the activities of state authorities and local self-government bodies, but also the public sphere as a whole. The use of marketing technologies plays an important role in developing the most important part of public administration reforms, namely the distribution of functions between public administration structures, which is especially evident in the context of decentralization reforms. The marketing principle of the maximum possible approximation of the strategic subject of public administration to its object contributes to the implementation in the process of reforms of the principle of self-realization of innovative projects using the potential of self-development of the system of state authorities and local self-government bodies itself. Within the framework of the marketing management system, the level closest to the problem area, where the strategy of influencing public administration objects is formed and implemented in the context of reorientation to the needs of the consumer (citizens and organizations) and the potential of strategic management is practically realized, is the level of regional public administration and self-government, as well as the level of municipal self-government of large cities. The use of marketing technologies in the practice of public administration allows solving the problem of implementing public services on the basis of clientelism. Marketing technologies are also indispensable in the development of those aspects of management innovations that relate to ensuring the effectiveness of public administration. They help implement an integrated approach to the formation of a system of criteria and indicators of the effectiveness of management activities.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/240DEVELOPMENT OF CIVIL SERVANTS’ COMPETENCIES IN THE FIELD OF INTERNAL SECURITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW2025-06-10T12:21:11+00:00Vasyl KULAKOVvisnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>The article provides a comprehensive analysis of domestic and foreign scientific approaches, concepts and practices aimed at the formation and development of professional competencies of civil servants in the context of ensuring the internal security of society. Particular attention is paid to the role of public service in conditions of martial law and hybrid threats, which put forward new requirements for the training of public administration personnel. The concept of «competence» is substantiated in an interdisciplinary dimension, as well as in connection with the functional responsibilities of civil servants in protecting national interests, implementing security strategies and ensuring the stability of public authorities. The content of the leading concepts of the issue of internal security is revealed, in particular in conditions of the legal regime of martial law, with an emphasis on interdepartmental coordination, crisis management, anti-crisis communication and interaction with the public. The key elements of the communication process in the public administration system during emergencies and crisis challenges that require prompt decision-making, information transparency and maintaining trust in the authorities are identified. The structural and functional components of the internal security system are analyzed, taking into account the transformations taking place in the state apparatus in the conditions of full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. It is substantiated that the development of professional competence of civil servants in the field of internal security is of key importance for supporting the legitimacy of state institutions, effective response to security challenges, strengthening democratic statehood and protecting the territorial integrity of Ukraine. The author’s model of the development of civil servants’ competences is presented, which takes into account the specifics of the modern security environment, state policy priorities, the needs of society and the challenges associated with military operations. The model involves the integration of theoretical, practical and emotional-ethical training aimed at increasing the ability of civil servants to act in conditions of uncertainty, risk and increased responsibility.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/241FUNCTIONING OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION MECHANISMS IN THE PROCESS OF MANNING THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE2025-06-10T12:21:42+00:00Anatolii KURTIEV visnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>The article provides a comprehensive analysis of domestic and foreign theoretical and practical developments on the development of professional competencies of civil servants, as well as the organization of an effective system of personnel support for the civil service in conditions of deep transformations and increased threats to national security. Modern trends in the field of public administration are studied, which necessitate a review of approaches to the formation of the personnel potential of the public service, taking into account the needs of adaptation to crisis situations, in particular, armed aggression of the Russian Federation. The concept of «competence» is substantiated as a multidimensional category that combines professional knowledge, management skills, value orientations and the ability to effectively operate in conditions of increased responsibility. The content of the key concepts of the problem of personnel support for the civil service is revealed, especially in the context of martial law, when the speed of response, flexibility of management decisions and the ability to adapt to dynamic challenges become determining factors. The basic elements of the communication process in the public administration system during emergency circumstances are highlighted, the importance of establishing effective internal and external communication, information transparency, operational data exchange and maintaining a high level of trust in government institutions is emphasized. An analysis of the organizational and legal aspects of the formation of human resources potential is carried out, including issues of regulatory regulation, professional training, advanced training, certification and rotation of personnel in wartime conditions. It is established that effective staffing of the civil service system is a critically important factor in ensuring the integrity of public administration, the sustainable functioning of state institutions, the protection of sovereignty and national interests of Ukraine. The implementation of flexible human resources management models that take into account both the strategic goals of the state and operational needs during periods of emergency threats is of particular relevance. An author’s model of the organization of the civil service personnel system is proposed, which is based on the principles of adaptability, a competency-based approach, and value orientation, and also takes into account the specifics of the challenges generated by martial law, the need for rapid response and updating approaches to personnel policy within the dynamic security environment.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/242PUBLIC-ADMINISTRATIVE DIMENSION OF STRATEGIC PLANNING OF TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT IN CONDITIONS OF DECENTRALIZATION2025-06-10T12:22:11+00:00Kateryna KUCHERENKO visnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the problem of strategic planning for the development of territories in the context of decentralization. In general, the concept of strategic planning reflects the need for adequate use of public administration resources to regulate social processes. In relation to public administration, strategic planning should be interpreted primarily as a mechanism for achieving strategic goals determined by state authorities and local self-government bodies through the organization of the use of available resources on the basis of state policy. Strategic planning for territorial development should be characterized as a process that determines the sequence of actions for the development and implementation of a country’s development strategy at the level of territorial associations of various levels. The development and implementation of innovative territorial development projects is one of the main directions of the formation of a decentralized management model in our country. In the management of territorial development, strategic planning in the context of decentralization determines the mechanisms and methods of using resources to implement the state strategy of management reforms. Strategic planning for territorial development should be considered not simply as a management function, but as a system of institutions, mechanisms and tools of public administration. The desire to achieve balanced territorial development in the process of decentralization and its coordination with general trends of innovation stimulates local and regional government bodies to increasingly use strategic planning. The content of strategic planning for the development of territories in the context of the process of decentralization of power is defined as the selection of goals, priorities, and indicators of this development within the framework of a single state strategy for the development of regions and local communities, which ensures the effectiveness of the public administration system at the appropriate level.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/243GLOCALISATION AND GOOD GOVERNANCE: DIALECTICAL UNDERSTANDING OF OPENNESS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR THROUGH EDUCATION2025-06-11T07:44:27+00:00Kateryna ROMANENKO visnyk@dano.dp.uaMykhailo ROMANENKO visnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>The article explores the interrelation between glocalization processes and open public governance amid the transformation of modern state systems. It analyzes the theoretical foundations of good governance and their relevance in the context of globalization and localization challenges as a dialectical interaction of the general, the particular, and the singular. Special attention is paid to glocalization as an adaptive mechanism for implementing the principles of openness, transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in local self-government. The concept of digital glocalization (Roudometof, 2023) is examined, illustrating how global digital technologies are adapted to the local socio-cultural context of Ukraine and its territorial communities. The article investigates the education sector, digital e-governance tools, and case studies from Ukrainian communities. Particular focus is given to the Dnipropetrovsk region’s communities: Slobozhanska, Pidhorodnenska, and Hleiuvatka, which showcase effective approaches to implementing open governance in a localized context. A set of practical recommendations is proposed for local self-government bodies to enhance digital openness, including decentralized administration, the development of digital facilitators, flexible feedback mechanisms, and cultural adaptation of digital services. The article highlights the relationship between the glocalization approach and the emerging logic of network governance, which is gradually replacing hierarchical models. It emphasizes the importance of cultural legitimacy and the flexible adaptation of digital tools in building trust in government. Furthermore, the role of community participation in decision-making through digital instruments and participatory budgeting is analyzed. The importance of the educational component and institutional support is underscored, without which openness remains declarative. The study concludes that glocalization not only aligns with but strengthens good governance by shaping flexible and socially legitimate public administration. Ultimately, it stresses that the successful integration of global approaches with local conditions is critical for improving efficiency, resilience, and public trust in the digital era.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/244INFLUENCE OF STATE EDUCATIONAL POLICY ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS2025-06-11T07:44:55+00:00Lidiya VOZNYUK visnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>The article highlights the impact of long-standing educational policies on the development and management of educational institutions. Factors of change in educational management have been identified, including: decentralization of management, which allows taking into account the specifics of educational institutions, their needs and requests, providing more freedom in decision-making, resource management and funding distribution; transition to new educational and professional standards; individualization of learning and management; implementation of the principles of inclusive education; orientation towards a competency-based approach in the management of educational institutions. The European integration orientation of the state educational policy on the functioning and development of general secondary education institutions, such as: harmonization of Ukrainian educational legislation with European legislation; implementation of the standards of the European Education Area; allocation of budget funds in accordance with the needs and goals of education modernization; Stimulating investment in education by international institutions. Attention is focused on the military aggression of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, which prompted the search for new and effective management technologies that ensure the functioning and development of educational institutions and institutions in today's difficult conditions.</p> <p>It has been determined that the main strategic changes in the educational management system meet modern challenges and European standards of educational management. These include: decentralization of education management, strategic planning and change management, education quality management, active implementation of information and communication technologies and digital platforms for managing an educational institution, creation of an inclusive and safe educational environment, involving parents, the community, and businesses in making management decisions; establishing the principles of transparency, openness of the educational institution, partnership, and cooperation with European educational institutions. Publications that examine the impact of state educational policy on the development and management of educational institutions cover various aspects of this issue: from state educational policy as a socio-political phenomenon, the integration of state policy with regional characteristics, the impact of state policy on the management of educational institutions to the justification of the main directions of state educational policy in the management of educational institutions (L. Gren, L. Hrynevych, N. Dichek, O. Kulinich). According to scientists, researching the impact of state educational policy on the development and management of educational institutions is important, since determining the main directions of development of educational institutions ensures the effectiveness of reform processes in the educational sector and provides qualitative changes in educational management.</p> <p>It is noted that the modern practice of managing general secondary education institutions convinces that only effective management of the development of educational programs can ensure high-quality school education. Attention is drawn to such trends in the development of educational management as increasing the role of the head of an educational institution in the implementation of state educational policy, which includes leadership, analytics, innovation, partnership and the establishment of effective cooperation with all participants in the educational process and the public. It is proven that European integration is an important factor that stimulates the modernization of the management of educational institutions in Ukraine. Adaptation of national educational policy to European standards allows improving the quality of education, increasing its accessibility and compliance with the requirements of the modern labor market.

In the context of the transformation of the educational system of Ukraine and the implementation of the principles of the New Ukrainian School, the need to introduce effective mechanisms for ensuring the quality of education is becoming more urgent, among which institutional audit occupies a leading place. The regulatory and legal support for the institutional audit procedure is analyzed, in particular the Law of Ukraine «On Education», the Regulations on Institutional Audit and the Procedure for its Conduct. The audit structure, data collection tools, evaluation criteria and the nature of management decisions formed based on the audit results are disclosed. Based on the reports of the State Education Quality Service of Ukraine for 2024, a summary of the results of the evaluation of educational and management processes in the State Education Quality Service of Ukraine was carried out. It was revealed that the issues of the educational environment, the system for assessing learning outcomes and the organization of internal monitoring require special attention. The system of planning activities and development strategies of general secondary education institutions need to be improved. The need to organize the educational process on the principles of human-centrism, to make management decisions based on constructive cooperation between participants in the educational process and interaction between the educational institution and the local community is noted. The key areas of influence of institutional audit on increasing the efficiency of management in the education system are outlined. In particular, its role in improving strategic planning, optimizing personnel policy, establishing effective interaction with the bodies of the founders and other stakeholders is emphasized. It is emphasized that institutional audit, provided it is properly perceived not as a control tool, but as a constructive support mechanism, contributes to the development of a management culture based on the values of quality, transparency, responsibility and sustainable development. It provides feedback, provides substantiated recommendations for strategic changes, stimulates systemic selfassessment and internal improvement of educational institutions, which is especially important in the context of the autonomy and decentralization of education management.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://visnuk.dano.dp.ua/index.php/pma/article/view/247STATE REGULATION OF EXTRACURRICULAR EDUCATION: MODERN CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS2025-06-11T07:45:40+00:00Liudmyla SHABAIEVA visnyk@dano.dp.uaOlena YASHYNA visnyk@dano.dp.ua<p>In the article, the authors conducted a comprehensive analysis of the current regulatory framework and scientific sources devoted to the definition of key concepts: «public administration», «out-of-school education», «partnership», «strategy». The conducted research made it possible to identify the features that shape modern priorities in the field of out-of-school education and characterize its main components as an element of an open educational environment. Such an environment involves the establishment of effective communication and interaction between all social and educational entities without barriers or administrative restrictions. The authors paid special attention to the analysis of the Strategy for the Development of Out-of-School Education in Ukraine, which is an important strategic planning document in the field of public education management. It was established that a promising direction of development is to strengthen the regulatory powers of central executive authorities in the field of education, which should ensure consistency of actions between different levels of government and improve the quality of educational services. The paper reveals the regulatory, organizational and financial aspects of the functioning of extracurricular education, which is the basis for the formation of effective state policy in this area. Specific recommendations are proposed for its improvement, in particular through integration into the European educational space, orientation on a competency-based approach and modernization of the professional development of teachers. The need to increase the level of emotional stability of specialists is substantiated and an algorithm for overcoming professional challenges is proposed. The authors also focus on the current challenges facing the extracurricular education system in Ukraine and analyze the factors that caused them. The importance of finding innovative approaches to public management of extracurricular education by both state bodies and local governments is emphasized, which should contribute to an effective response to the needs of modern society.</p>2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c)
