This article analyzes the systems of public service management in a number
of developed and developing countries, substantiating the relationship between the
level of development of society and the complexity of the system necessary to manage
the bureaucracy. The transformation of subjects of management by the state
service of Russia in the course of its post-Soviet institutionalization is considered,
and problems and contradictions in this sphere are treated. Taking into account
historical practice and advanced scholarly concepts, the author offers proposals to
improve the bureaucracy management system at the federal level: the solution lies,
the article maintains, in the area of intersection of centralization and denationalization.
It is necessary to expand the legal content of the civil service, the author
proposes, gradually turning it into a public service aimed at solving the tasks of the
country’s social and economic development.
The article’s conclusions were substantiated during the author’s participation
in the work on the draft of the project Strategy for Social and Economic Development
of Russia through 2030.
