The article discusses the global and Russian experience in the development of various approaches for the influence of society on the budgetary process. These are the participation of public organizations in the discussion of the regional or city budget (public budgeting) and the distribution of a small share of the budget by the boards of residents (participatory budgeting). The experience of the project “A budget that can be understood and influenced”, implemented by the St. Petersburg Humanitarian and Political Science Center “Strategy”, is briefly presented in the article. The foreign and domestic experience of another related approach for the civic participation in the activities of the authorities - the participatory design of urban space - is analyzed. In case of municipal formations of St. Petersburg, the authors analyze the reasons why municipal deputies choose not participatory budgeting, but participatory design while seeking ways of civic inclusion in decision-making. Expert interviews were conducted with deputies of four municipalities of St. Petersburg, and the cognitive mapping method was used to analyze the texts of the interviews. The reasons for deputies to make such a choice appeared to be the vagueness of the normative support for participatory budgeting, which increased the risk of intervention of the prosecutor's office, disagreements among deputies in municipal councils, as well as obstacles with the availability of expert support. The article discusses the problems of developing an ecosystem of public participation in the government activities.

The article discusses the regulation and practices of allocating the volumes of medical care in the system of compulsory medical insurance (CHI), as well as their compliance with the concept of strategic purchasing of medical services recommended by the World Health Organization and other public institutions. The results of a survey of territorial CHI funds of Subjects of the Russian Federation (TFOMS) on the practices of allocating the volumes of medical care among medical organizations are presented. It is shown that these practices are dominated by distribution based on historical values. According to the concept of strategic procurement of medical services, regional distribution practices in general do not meet the requirements for efficiency, which involve the performance of medical organizations and other factors of effective healthcare organization. At the same time, the results of cluster analysis indicate the presence of differentiated approaches to the use of distribution criteria at the regional level. Despite the lack of the criteria for active (strategic) allocation in the Rules of CHI, the TFOMS survey indicates that such criteria are used in regional practices. However, their role in comparison with other groups of criteria considered is noticeably lower. At the same time, the cluster analysis confirms the presence of differentiated approaches to the combination of criteria in the regional CHI systems.

The article examines the passport of the municipality as a comprehensive source of data on various characteristics of the territory. The purpose of the article is to analyze the opportunities and problems of using the socio-economic passport of the municipality as a comprehensive source of information for different groups of users interested in the territory. The study of passports of municipalities of the Republic of Khakassia has been carried out. To source the information we used official websites of municipalities of the Republic of Khakassia and the database of municipalities of Rosstat. The data of passports of municipalities were compared with the data of official statistical information. We have analyzed the passports' indicators for their sufficiency to characterize the natural, industrial, financial, human, social and infrastructural capital of the territory. The conclusion is made that the existing system of passports of municipalities does not solve the problem of informing the interested users about the territory. It is proposed to develop a new approach to the formation of territorial reporting, based on the principles of integrated reporting.

This paper responds to calls for more research into public entrepreneurship, for delivering public value as opposed to the narrower view of public goods, and for re-organising states for alternative post-capitalist governance by revisiting a long-term but unresolved academic debate: the role of the state (government). It presents conceptually relevant arguments from seminal and contemporary academic debates on the role of the state and state establishments. It demonstrates that an understanding of the role of the state is a starting point in the reorganisation of states and proposes a novel additional role that most states have not yet considered, as well as identifying the state establishments that are available to assist states in fulfilling the extended role. Propositions were developed to sustain the extended role and to indicate that the approach to re-imagining the role of the state adds value for academic, practice, and policymaker observers. The report concludes by providing avenues for further research opportunities.

The article presents a review of approaches to assessing the business climate for innovation. Composite indexes are considered the main tool for comprehensive monitoring of a wide range of external environment factors that determine the favorability of the business climate for innovation. The paper discusses the opportunities and limitations of analyzing the innovation climate using international rankings; and formulates the main requirements for such projects for targeted use to analyze national innovation systems and improve state regulation of innovation. The paper identifies and analyzes 16 international projects that indirectly or directly provide an aggregated country-level assessment of the conditions and (or) results of innovation activities. It is shown that the approaches of indexes developers to determine the innovation climate often have no theoretical justification, and only some of the projects are characterized by publicly verifiable methodology, sustainability of assessments and transparency of initial data. The Global Innovation Index, which satisfies most of the formulated criteria, stands out in this row. Based on the Global Innovation Index example, the empirical part of the article uses its longitudinal data for 2017-2021 to identify strengths and weaknesses of the national innovation system of Russia, taking into account benchmarking of development dynamics across a wide range of countries covered by the harmonized observation. The obtained results reflect the analytical potential of international innovation rankings, as well as allow identifying factors which may contribute to or hinder the achievement of the global innovation leadership and formulating policy recommendations.

This study aimed to understand what the literature has been approaching regarding public sector innovation and which measurement practices have been used, in addition to seeking research opportunities. The process was guided by the ProKnow-C instrument, a process of selection and critical analysis of the literature which allowed the selection of 33 articles. In general, it was found that: (i) the meaning of what innovation is has changed over the years; (ii) although there are attempts to evaluate these innovations, they are still incipient, especially in defining what is being considered as an innovation, which qualitative scale best represents what innovation is, how to transform this qualitative (ordinal) scale into a mathematical scale (cardinal); (iii) the evaluation has been promoted by the adoption of methods from the private sector, which are considered inappropriate for the public sector, since they make use of successes interpreted in organizations with divergent contexts. The results of the study make it possible to form, on the basis of institutional situational perception and needs, an instrument that meets the properties of measurement and determine the direction of managerial activity.

The article presents the issues of tariff regulation of connections (technological connection) of capital construction objects to the city communal infrastructure. Legislative streamlining of the connection of real estate objects under construction to engineering and technical support systems mainly took place according to the sectoral principle, which led to significant differences in the tariffication of connection to different types of engineering systems. This creates problems both for developers and for the development of the engineering infrastructure of the Russian cities. This study aims at analyzing the current situation in the tariff regulation of connections and finding solutions to the identified problems. As part of the work, a questionnaire survey of the administrations of 102 cities was carried out, in which the values of the established tariffs were clarified, different approaches and bottlenecks of the connection practice were determined. As a result, significant differences are revealed in the adopted methodology of tariff regulation of connections for various types of communal infrastructure, a list of problematic issues have been identified which reduce the predictability of developers' costs for connecting to communal infrastructure and have a negative impact on the spatial development of the Russian cities. Further steps are suggested to improve the existing practice of tariff regulation.

The article aims the problems faced by state financial control system in Russia. One of them is the duplication of the functions and authorities of the control bodies of the "horizontal" level, which increases both the costs of organizing control and the load on the objects of control. The problems were caused by the lack of synchronization of the digitalization processes of the control and accounting environment, as well as the dominance of identifying committed violations approach, instead of focusing efforts on their prevention. Besides, risk-oriented planning approaches of control activities require improvement. The article contains the assessment of the current state financial control system, based on the analysis of data characterizing the activities of key subjects of state financial control, as well as the analysis of official documents regulating the relevant activities. Based on the analysis, the author formulates proposals to improve the efficiency of state financial control system in Russian Federation.

The article is devoted to the study of challenges and prospects of the reform of territorial organization of local self-government as the problem, which has become relevant in the context of the upcoming new law on local self-government regulation. Recently, some experts have been expressing concerns about the final transition to a homogenous system of local self-government in Russia, which will be expressed in the abolition of urban and rural settlements. The declared goals of the reform, among which there are an increase of budgetary independence and reduction in the cost of local administration maintenance, are criticized, but at the same time there is still a lack of thematical practice-oriented research. Therefore, the study examines actual results of transformation of territorial organization of local self-government in the Moscow region as an example of a region, where all municipalities were granted the status of urban districts before the end of 2019. The study is based on a theoretical framework, which is centered around public choice and economies of scale theories. A hypothesis is drawn that the spread of urban and municipal districts may lead to a decrease in the territorial accessibility of local self-government followed by no reduction in the cost of its maintenance. The pre- and post-reform values of indicators, characterizing territorial accessibility of local self-governments and its services and the volume of expenses connected to local self-government maintenance are compared. Conclusions are drawn about the negative impact of the reform: the availability of local authorities and local services for citizens is declining, while there are no visible budgetary savings due to staff cuts.

The paper considers the higher education financing models used in different countries. The funding mechanisms, as well as the role of the state in financial resources allocation, are discussed. An analysis of a wide range of research papers shows that there are two key financing models in accordance with a typology of budgetary financing approaches: institutional and demand-based. In the institutional model of higher education funding, the object of financial flows is represented by universities, while in the demand-based model it is students. The models may include different sets of mechanisms to fund. Each mechanism, in addition to the conditions for obtaining budget funds, contains an institutional framework which determines the procedure for spending funds for the needs of the university. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the format of the higher education budgetary financing system is a derived element from the institutional landscape of the state and the form of public finance management. At the same time, the role of the state is largely determined by policy aspects related to the structure of funding and the level of universities autonomy.

The funding mechanisms, as well as the role of the state in financial resources allocation, are discussed. An analysis of a wide range of research papers shows that there are two key financing models in accordance with a typology of budgetary financing approaches: institutional and demand-based. In the institutional model of higher education funding, the object of financial flows is represented by universities, while in the demand-based model it is students. The models may include different sets of mechanisms to fund. Each mechanism, in addition to the conditions for obtaining budget funds, contains an institutional framework which determines the procedure for spending funds for the needs of the university. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the format of the higher education budgetary financing system is a derived element from the institutional landscape of the state and the form of public finance management. At the same time, the role of the state is largely determined by policy aspects related to the structure of funding and the level of universities autonomy.","PeriodicalId":43338,"journal":{"name":"Voprosy Gosudarstvennogo i Munitsipalnogo Upravleniya-Public Administration Issues","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67919729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
