Public administration in economic sphere

This academic discipline offers a significantly updated thematic structure comparing to the one that has been taught for a long time before in our institute. The content is compiled in accordance with the modern requirements and competencies of a “Master of public management and administration”, capable of solving complex tasks and problems in the management field, which involves conducting research, modernizing management activities, and introducing innovations in conditions of uncertainty and instability. This discipline belongs to the cycle of professional training disciplines and stands as a more detailed addition to the core course “Transformation of economic relations & regulation”, but exclusively for students of the economic profile. The discipline is the author’s development of Professor M. Kovalenko, and its original content is high-presented, as always, with all his teaching skill.

The discipline offers students a deeper understanding of systemic characteristics of public administration, which opens up opportunities for a correct and logical perception and understanding of other topics: ensuring the overall efficiency of the functioning of the economy, the budget and tax policy of the state, the investment and competition policy of the state, structural policy as a form of long-term regulation, economic security states and digital governance as a form of economic mobilization.

Practical and seminar classes take place in the format of a broad discussion of cases and fresh foresight forecasts regularly prepared by authoritative world organizations as WEF, OECD, UNCTAD.

Volume of study load: 5 ECTS credits.

  • to deepen students’ understanding of the state’s regulatory manifestations in the economic sphere so that students can consciously and confidently distinguish between the main and secondary in the information flow in this area;
  • based on this, it is expected that students will (a) be able to develop drafts of relevant decisions and (b) be more ready for “horizontal” cooperation with colleagues and like-minded people when initiating economic changes in their country and region.
