This paper examines how international indices can confer liberal democratic legitimacy on a hybrid, competitive authoritarian regime. By examining the case of Georgia and employing discourse analysis in the style of the Essex School, it demonstrates that reputed international organizations have depoliticized key concepts in their rankings to varying degrees across the spheres of budget transparency, economic freedom, corruption, and the rule of law. “Depoliticization” and “repoliticization” are understood in relation to “politics,” conceived as the power-laden nature of human relationships operating at the macro level of an entire regime. The paper outlines three modes of depoliticization - technicalization, economicization, and criminalization - and illustrates how these contribute to the construction of authoritative international indices. It then shows how, in certain instances, the Georgian government repoliticized the previously depoliticized concepts and used Georgia’s ranking achievements to assert its liberal democratic credentials. The paper argues that the legitimizing discourse surrounding international indices can take on a peculiar character, in which depoliticization leads to a powerful form of repoliticization, contradicting the original aim of international rankings to promote liberal democratic values and institutions. It concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for understanding the complex relationship between non-democratic regimes and the international liberal community, and suggests directions for future research.

The existence of active and participating citizens is an essential part of a democratic society. In recent years, the concept of political participation has expanded, and new ways of involving individuals and groups in community or local decision-making processes have emerged. Participatory budgeting is one of the ways citizens participate in public decision-making. This research provides a comparative analysis on development of selected factors influencing the sustainability of participatory budgeting in regional cities (urban regional centres) in Czechia and Slovakia. The analysis is complemented by case studies in two cities that run the participatory budgeting the longest (Brno in Czechia, Banská Bystrica in Slovakia). The findings indicate relatively low interest in participatory budgeting in both countries and conflicting goals for ensuring sustainability, e.g. development in the amount allocated for PB. The paper summarises the latest developments of PB in the analysed urban regional centres. It adds to the knowledge of this tool in the context of the Central and Eastern Europe region and helps policymakers focus on important factors influencing the sustainability of participatory budgeting.

To contract out public services or deliver them internally? Transaction costs, as part of the total costs for a public service, should represent an important factor when choosing how a public service should be delivered. Despite this, previous domestic and foreign literature shows that oftentimes, the service provider is unable or unwilling to calculate these costs, even if it might result in finding the most effective service delivery option. The goal of this paper is to analyse the situation in Slovak municipalities regarding transaction costs associated with public procurement and producer monitoring for the service of municipal waste management. The primary data from 254 Slovak municipalities, obtained through an online questionnaire, reveal a certain level of ignorance regarding transaction costs, as most municipalities were unable to provide the necessary data required to calculate the transaction costs associated with the selected service.

This study analyzes the social status of civil servants by examining survey data from 10,942 civil servants and conducting 22 expert interviews. The research aims to define the social status of civil servants and analyze the factors influencing this status in Kazakhstan. The findings reveal that, according to international practices, several key factors impact the social status of civil servants. These include economic conditions, public perception and the professional competencies of civil servants. Socioeconomic conditions of civil servants significantly influence how civil servants are perceived and valued in society. Additionally, the behavior of civil servants in public settings and their professional skills play a critical role in shaping their social status. Effective management of these factors can enhance the perception of civil servants and contribute to their social status. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights for improving the status and public perception of civil servants in Kazakhstan and beyond.

            <description><![CDATA[

Tax enforcement, applied in cases of unpaid tax liabilities, plays a crucial role in securing public revenue, as tax revenues are essential for financing common needs. The effectiveness of enforcement is strongly influenced by the legal framework governing enforcement procedures, which seeks to balance the public interest with the protection of taxpayers’ rights. This article presents a comparative legal analysis of tax enforcement in Slovenia and the Czech Republic, examining how these frameworks affect the effectiveness of tax enforcement. By analysing annual reports from both countries’ tax administrations, the article assesses how differences in legal regulation correspond to performance in tax collection. Additionally, it employs analytical methods and synthesis to integrate findings from various sources and identify key patterns. The findings suggest that Slovenia’s tax enforcement system offers more detailed procedural safeguards and has demonstrated comparatively higher tax collection efficiency than that of the Czech Republic. These differences are primarily attributed to the legal structure of enforcement regimes, though organisational factors also play a role. The results offer insights into potential improvements to enhance tax enforcement results, including recommendations for regulatory reforms and better implementation practices.

The paper analyses the links between the global crisis of civilisation and the development of the European Union and European nation-states. It specifies the substantive content of the polycrisis and the inadequate capacity of politics at the global, European, and national levels to respond to it in a timely and effective manner. Considering how past civilisational formations have emerged, evolved, and collapsed raises questions and potential answers about how this crisis can be addressed by public policy and administration at both the European and national levels.

Government communication is central for raising awareness about policy decisions and influencing citizen behaviour. Social media allows public authorities to involve the population in policy actions via interactive exchanges. This article investigates the link between vaccination-related posts published by government bodies in five Central and Eastern European states on Facebook and citizen engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. It uses innovative topic modelling and clustering techniques and tests the association between content and engagement. Our study reveals significant differences in social-media engagement across various vaccination communication strategies on Facebook. We found that rational types of content—relying on facts and data—led to the highest levels of citizen engagement.

            <description><![CDATA[

Type 2 diabetes (DM2), a major lifestyle disease, extends beyond medical issues, with social sciences offering solutions such as changing eating habits through nudging interventions. This study examines the acceptability of 33 food-nudging interventions among Czech diabetics (N = 456) via an electronic questionnaire, assessing responses on a scale from 1 (acceptable) to 4 (unacceptable). With 87.8% of nudges scoring within the acceptable range, the highest support was for shopping trolleys promoting fruits and vegetables (1.27), while reduced portions in public canteens had the lowest (3.31). Findings suggest that non-digital nudges are widely accepted and can inform effective DM2 preventive strategies and health policy recommendations.

            <description><![CDATA[

The application and utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have increased recently in all organizations, including those in the public sector. From an organizational perspective, AI utilization should generate both economic and social gains. In this context, it is necessary to address the automation-augmentation paradox. Namely, this paradox stems from the question of whether AI replaces humans in performing tasks (i.e., automation) or whether the application of AI necessitates an increase in AI-human interactions (i.e., augmentation). The starting point of the research is the POSDCORB framework, which delineates the core functions of a manager and offers a classical perspective on their administrative responsibilities. AI shall increasingly transform the POSDCORB framework by streamlining management functions and enhancing decision-making accuracy. The main research question is what can be automated using AI for management functions, and what requires augmentation between AI and humans for these functions? To assess AI’s impact on POSDCORB managerial functions in public sector organizations, the study uses both qualitative and quantitative data sources, enhancing validity through data triangulation. The research findings indicate that AI’s impact varies across management functions, with public managers particularly preferring augmentation for strategic planning tasks, coordination, reporting, and potential dynamic financial adjustments. Finally, public managers’ report ongoing tension due to a tendency to switch between automation and augmentation as tasks evolve.

            <description><![CDATA[

Social entrepreneurship has massive support in the European Union. In Slovak conditions, it is a relatively new concept with a legal framework stipulated only in 2018, and it has still not been thoroughly examined. Currently, one-quarter of social enterprises in Slovakia are established by the municipalities, promoting the positive impact of municipal social entrepreneurship on a broader area of activities in a locality or region. This paper contributes to filling the research gap in the field of Slovak social entrepreneurship by focusing on the unexplored field of municipal social enterprises in comparison to those of privately owned running three sub-analyses from the point of view of economic activity, economic performance, and socioeconomic and demographic factors determining the establishment of municipal social enterprises. We work with a sample of Slovak social enterprises established since 2018. Our results point to different economic activities of municipal social enterprises compared to those of privately owned ones. While private social enterprises focus on economic activities related to associations and movements for adults, municipal ones focus on landscape management. When considering economic performance using financial analysis indicators, municipal social enterprises perform better than private ones. Finally, results indicate that the municipality’s population size is the factor with the highest relative importance when establishing the municipal social enterprise. This paper provides policymakers and local elected authorities with encouraging insights into municipal social enterprises established in larger municipalities to help improve the local environment. Moreover, their economic results are competitive with those of private social enterprises.

The article aims to analyse whether corporate income taxation is influenced by the prevailing ideology of parliaments (left-wing vs right-wing). The primary research method used is econometric analysis: three different estimation techniques were used on three dependent variables connected with corporate taxation. Nine models were developed to discover whether a political explanatory variable, “Centre of Political Gravity”, drives corporate taxation decisions. Additionally, variables were employed as controls: Gross Operating Surplus, 10-Year Government Bond Yield, Debt/GDP ratio and the Rule of Law index. The overall dataset is in panel format, consisting of 27 EEA countries covering 2004 to 2019. The results suggest that a parliament’s majoritarian ideology can influence the effective corporate income tax rate. It is found that left-wing parliaments tend to increase this rate.

Public administration collaboration within the Triple Helix is critical to drive innovation and research. According to European Union support for joint research and innovation agenda through smart specialization projects, the strategy on cooperation within different regions is crucial. In the paper we examine the willingness for cooperation of different levels of government in the Triple Helix in research and innovation in Alpine region. We employed a quantitative approach by surveying public officials across different levels of government in seven countries that make up the Alpine region community. The empirical results suggest that public administration’s willingness to collaborate varies depending on which stakeholder they are associated with. The differences in willingness to collaborate also vary depending on the level of collaboration. The research findings have shown that the biggest obstacles to better collaboration in the Triple Helix are at the local level, despite various efforts in supporting collaboration by the EU.

Public policy faces several current problems. One of them is migration management, both in the phase of the arrival of migrants and in the phase of integration of the second generation of migrants born to migrant parents in the original host country. The case of France shows that failure to manage this problem can result in a social war. The study examines the issue of the social war in France (2002-2023) as a clash between three actors: government elites, retired generals of the French armed forces and Islamic terrorist organizations. To explain processes related to social warfare, the AFA model (actors-frameworks-activities) is used. The desk research method and in-depth loosely structured interviews with French experts were used for the investigation. Embedded history and collective memory are identified as key factors in the emergence and dynamics of the social war. The study identifies key historical roots and actors of social war in France, highlighting the influence of collective memory and migration policy failures on societal polarization. Findings emphasize the need for improved integration strategies to prevent further conflicts, with implications for similar challenges in other EU countries.

This essay, based on a keynote address, suggests three keys for good public administration in post-conflict reconstruction. It emphasizes the importance of carefully selecting advisors, focusing on building administrative capacity, and truly finishing the conflict, especially against a lethal enemy within or without, before initiating reconstruction efforts. Drawing on case studies from Kosova, Myanmar, and broader international contexts, the essay underscores the complexities of reconstructing public administration structures and the need for innovative, yet stable, approaches to governance.

The first objective of this paper is to map the evolution of the determinants of e-government (EGOV) in EU countries from 2012 to 2022 through descriptive statistics and cluster analysis, and to assess the impact of EGOV development on economic growth. The second objective is to explore the specific challenges of EGOV implementation in Slovakia through a questionnaire survey. Through cluster analysis, we identified the position of countries based on similarities in individual indicators and evaluated the development when comparing 2012 to 2022. In the regression model, the independent variables, Control of Corruption and Telecommunication Infrastructure Index, had the greatest impact on economic development. Regarding Slovakia, which did not experience a significant improvement in the individual variables over the chosen 10-year period, we identified technical problems as the core barrier to EGOV implementation.

            <description><![CDATA[

The proliferation of information technology in the public sector is considered a viable solution to simplify access, bringing public services just a click away from citizens. However, the increased reliance on digital technologies has exposed the extent to which access disparities can exacerbate social inequalities, leaving marginalized populations further behind. Instead of removing physical barriers, digital solutions often introduce barriers of a new kind. Prior research has indicated the spillover of access inequalities from the social sphere into the digital domain, focusing primarily on offline resources and digital interactions. This paper identifies barriers in the offline-to-digital access transition and suggests enablers that facilitate this experience. We approach this endeavor by interviewing citizens of North Macedonia from diverse backgrounds. The paper employs thematic analysis and hybrid reasoning to identify perceived barriers and enablers patterns. Findings reveal that barriers related to trust, motivation, and digital skills are more prevalent than those related to accessibility and affordability as physical factors affecting the transition to digital access to public services. The practical implications of this study could inform policymakers in developing inclusive strategies that 1) enhance early stages of digital transformation processes and 2) effectively address barriers that impede access to public services by implementing customized solutions corresponding to users’ contextual circumstances. Additionally, this study contributes to conceptualizing barriers and enablers as central in the broader study of socio-digital inequalities.

            <description><![CDATA[

As artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a transformative global technology, its application by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly those serving the public interest, is gaining significance. This paper examines AI’s role in Slovenia’s information society development, focusing on its potential benefits and challenges for NGOs. Using theoretical analysis and qualitative interviews, the study assesses AI’s (potential) benefits and challenges, namely its impact on operational efficiency, decision-making, and societal engagement. While AI offers significant advantages, its adoption is hindered by financial constraints, limited technical expertise, and ethical concerns related to fairness and accountability of these systems. The findings highlight the need for a comprehensive, inclusive AI governance framework that prioritizes ethical considerations, enhances education and training, ensures adequate resource allocation, and fosters collaboration between the government, NGOs, and academic institutions.

Local democracy has been widely discussed as a crucial element for developing the normative background of local institutions, where political skills and capacities are advanced. Nevertheless, there is less knowledge of the mechanisms connecting local democratic institutions with citizens’ voices and community engagement practices. Local politicians are considered mediators between ordinary citizens and local political processes. Following the discussion on the distinction between representative and participatory elements of local democracy, we empirically examined the relationship between local democracy notions of councilors and their roles and functions as local political representatives. Our empirical results suggest that the more councilors employ participatory democracy elements, the higher their perception of community engagement and facilitator roles for local politicians. On the contrary, the policy-making roles of councilors are less supportive of the notion of participatory democracy. The theoretical and empirical results also contribute to a broader understanding of the relationship between local political powers and local autonomy.

Governments employ tax measures to improve environmental conditions and reduce atmospheric emissions. This paper aims to analyze the impact of specific types of environmental taxes on air pollutant emissions. The study utilizes OECD panel data on the volumes of four tax types and seven categories of pollutants from nine countries (Austria, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, and Kazakhstan) from 2010 to 2022. The models, built using multiple linear regression, revealed a strong and statistically significant positive correlation between all types of pollutants, the volumes of resource taxes paid, and a negative correlation with transport and pollution taxes. The similarity of results across each model is explained by the high degree of correlation between the different types of pollutants. A potential factor of endogeneity in the models prevents a definitive conclusion about causality, but it contributes to econometric research in this area. A limitation of this study is the availability of data on the specific tax types and pollutant emissions. The research extends the ongoing discussion on the role of tax measures in reducing air pollution by providing new empirical evidence.
