Abstract

The paper evaluates the content of the evolution of social management and public administration systems in Romania. The purpose of the article is to analyze the resources, problems and challenges of the public administration and social management systems development in Romania and Ukraine. To achieve this goal, we proceeded from the hypothesis that the overall (integral) effectiveness of the government and public administration in both Ukraine and Romania during the pre- crisis and crisis periods depends on the quality of organizing, coordination, motivational and control capacity of social management, design or compositions of state power, state system, the quality of the «deep state», the quality of the economic power in the state. It was found that the phenomenon of undistributed state power in a post- totalitarian country creates the conditions for the «merger» of the economic power of the big capitalists and the state power of the functionaries who are in fact appointed by the economic power. In fact, it is a fundamental mechanism of the double exploitation of people and resources by «mafia capitalism», a side phenomenon of which are the facts (manifestations) of corruption visible to society and international partners. As a result overcoming corruption and the processes of merging economic and political power as a determinant of the system of their motivation is a fundamental challenge, which becomes a fundamental threat in a pandemic. We believe that in the context of the crisis it is necessary to analyze the experience of public administration, the application of administrative and legal relations and administrative justice in both developed traditional democracies and the relatively young democracy of Romania. Without taking this experience into account, without making fundamental logical changes to the text of the Constitution of Ukraine on the essence, the method of generating and controlling the power distributed by the people, it will not be possible to overcome the effect of the state's occupation by the oligarchs. Without a direct formulation of the algorithm in the text of the Constitution and in organic laws that specify the responsibilities and powers of distributed authorities, institutions and public administration bodies, the static inefficient structure of monolithic state power will be constantly restored. Without a rational text of organic (constitutional laws) that specify the responsibilities of the main institutions of power: the President, Parliament, Government, Constitutional Court, Supreme Court, the High Council of Justice – Ukrainian «single state power» will always become the property of one person or group of individuals or clans, and to reproduce «mafia capitalism».Keywords: crisis, social governance, Romania, public administration, pandemic, COVID-19, institute, state power, optimal construction of state power. ; У роботі здійснено оцінювання еволюції системи соціального управління та публічного адміністрування в Румунії.
