Strategic Issues of Public Governance in Sports Development in Ukraine

Abstract

Introduction. Commitments adopted by the Verkhovna Rada and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine have little influence on the development of sport for all and Olympic sports for higher achievements. The post is devoted to the results of studying the content of legislative and regulatory acts governing the development of sports in Ukraine. The reason for the extremely unsatisfactory implementation of the adopted legislative and regulatory acts is in the unwillingness of public institutions to make major efforts to ensure the real growth of sports development indicators. Aim of the study is to identify the existing issues of public administration, which cause insufficient rates of improvement of the state of sport for all and Olympic sports of higher achievements, to prevent these problems in the future. Material and methods: literature analysis, analysis of documents, synthesis, abstraction. The research was conducted during april-august 2020. Results. The analysis shows that the adopted legislative and regulatory acts do not contribute to the development of the sphere. This is due to the fact that a large part of their content is marked by the declarative nature and lack of established standards which does not allow to control their implementation. Such a negative factor will affect the activities of the public administration which will be in charge of taking care of the development of the sport. Conclusion. The current state of governance in the field of sports is critical and is not conducive to making positive changes in this important humanitarian field. We will have to create more sophisticated legislative organization and financial tools for improvement of the state of sports.
