The aim of the work is to assess the perspectives of participatory governance implementation in Neringa municipality. Participatory governance implementation is an integral part of democratic governance, and participation itself is identified as one of the core democratic values, which effectiveness depends on the implementation mechanism. The main factors that will help ensure the smooth running of this mechanism are the right to participate, the opportunities and the participants. In order to ensure the participation of civil society based on the principles of transparency and accountability, the regulation of this process as defined in the legal acts must be followed. The analysis of legal acts has shown that national and international documents emphasize the rights and obligations of citizens and civil servants to participate in public governance, and they are more detailed in the domestic laws of the Republic of Lithuania. After the research, it was found that participatory governance implementation in Neringa municipality is more theoretical than practical. The situation is aggravated by the discrepancy between the attitude of residents and civil servants towards the existing problems. Residents lack information, appropriate conditions for involvement and cooperation from government representatives, and the municipal employees do not see their mistakes in believing that all measures are taken to encourage participation. Such a contradiction leads to a negative development of participatory governance, therefore, it would be appropriate to take the following steps: first, dissemination of detailed and clear information on the planned actions through various information dissemination channels (on social networks, the municipality website, in the press, also not to eliminate the possibility of leaving leaflets in mailboxes when discussing issues of particular relevance to the residents), with a greater focus on youth and the elderly. Secondly, and probably most importantly, SWOT analysis of participatory governance implementation in Neringa municipality should be performed and a plan for ensuring this process should be prepared, indicating the goals, objectives, and defining the implementation period in stages.

The purpose of the research: to determine the content of regional governance concept and its change in Lithuanian strategic documents. Regional governance is a relatively new phenomenon in both academic and practical public administration activities; therefore the use of this concept is not well-established and causes a lot of debate. Foreign authors who have analysed the concept of regional governance have divided it in three dimensions: • Theoretical, where regional governance is turned into object of research; • Empirical, which includes the practice of public administration processes in the region, public and private sector cooperation, in order to improve policy implementation in the region; • Instrumental, when regional governance becomes an instrument for achieving sustainable development goals and developing participatory governance. The study revealed that regional governance in analysed strategic documents is usually understood as an instrument for implementing principles of sustainable development and participatory governance aimed at increasing social and economic cohesion of the regions and the formation of a positive image. In the course of the research it was noticed that in some of the analysed documents regional governance is understood in two ways: both as an instrument and as an empirical phenomenon. The documents emphasize the need for sustainable regional development and the involvement of citizens in the decision-making process, which turns regional governance into an instrument; however, a need to transfer the functions of central government to local authorities also arises, thus regional governance is brought closer to the interpretation of the empirical phenomenon. Creation and development of a network system is typical in regional governance that is understood as an instrument. Based on the data of the research, it can be stated that the content of regional governance remains similar in all analysed documents.

This paper analyzes the scientific discourse of governance and university governance within the framework of the existing concepts, it also deals with alternation of university governance in the context of European higher education regulations and directives, presents analysis of the traditional and entrepreneurial university governance models of the content aspect. It also presents the results of "International Comparative Research on University Governance Models" carried out by the paper authors emphasizing the context of Finland's higher education and university governance and the case of Lapland University. Although traditional higher education values dominate in many missions and visions of Finnish universities, internal institutional governance of the University of Lapland has recently become entrepreneurial. Good governance of the university is associated not only with distinction of administrative and academic functions, reduction of bureaucratic processes, but also with the openness of the university, good communication and understanding of the academic culture.

Kent birlikte yaşamın ortak simgesi olan yerleşim birimidir. Kent medeniyetin ve kültürün ortaya çıktığı, ortaksavunma ihtiyacının karşılandığı ve halkın kendi kendini doğrudan yönetebildiği tarihsel bir mekân olarak zamaniçerisinde merkezi yönetim karşısında güç kaybederek günümüze kadar ulaşmıştır. Ancak hem bir yerleşim hem de biryönetim birimi olan kent güncel gelişmeler karşısında canlılığını kaybetmemiş ve toplumsal ihtiyaçların karşılanmasındayerel düzeyde aktif görevler üstlenmiştir. Kent yönetimlerinin yönetişim ve yerelleşme kavramları kapsamında yenidenmodellenmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu bağlamda kentlerin yerelleşen yönetişim anlayışı kapsamında yönetilen birimler halinedönüştürülmelerine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu noktada yönetişim anlayışının bir unsurunu oluşturan sivil toplumkuruluşları da kamu ve özel sektör ile işbirliği kapsamında kent yönetimini yerelleşen yönetişim modeline doğru geçiş içinhazırlamaya çalışmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada literatür taraması ve kurgusal analiz yöntemi kullanılarak kent ve kentyönetimi ile ilgili kavramsal unsurlara değinilecek ve ardından çalışmanın gerçek kurgusunun yapıldığı yönetişim, yerelyönetişim ve yerelleşen yönetişim kavramları konu edilecektir. ; A city is a settlement unit which is the common symbol of life together. The city has reached the level of day-today losing strength in the face of central government as a historical place where civilization and culture emerged, the need for common defense and the people can direct themselves directly. However, as a settlement and a management unit, the city has not lost its vitality in the face of current developments and has undertaken active duties at local level in meeting social needs. Urban governments need to be remodeled under the concepts of governance and localization. In this context, the cities need to be transformed into managed units within the framework of localized governance. At this point, nongovernmental organizations, which form an element of governance, also try to prepare city administration for ...

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the role of Šiauliai City Municipality in the regional governance. The regional governance is a relatively new concept that is also significant due to the fact that the population of municipalities have easier access to a local government and, thus, a greater chance to be heard. Problems related to a region are better solved when a person is able to contact the interested parties and receive direct aid. The regional governance and institutions related to the regional governance are indisputably regulated by legislation. It is especially important to identify fundamental problems in the regional governance and possible solutions to them. On the regional level, the interested parties that play the more prominent role are the local and the central government with business and other organizations, including various non-governmental ones, also playing important role. The analysis in this thesis is divided into two parts, in order to achieve the results. The first part contains the analysis of decisions made by Šiauliai Regional Development Council and their connection to the regional governance and Šiauliai region. The analysis shows that the Municipality is actively engaged in the decision-making process by Regional Development Council by offering solutions, in order to ensure that important issues related to the region are discussed. The second part concerns the research whose results confirm the conclusions made from the analysis of Regional Development Council documents that Šiauliai City Municipality is actively involved in the regional governance and plays a significant role in both the issue-raising and the decision-making process. In addition, attention is paid to the cooperation between the interested parties and Šiauliai City Municipality with the results of the interview showing the lack of purposeful cooperation and communication between both sides, the lack of willingness on the part of the Municipality to cooperate and the lack of involvement of the interested parties in the activities of the Municipality.
