The Social Consequences of Innovations in Public Administration

Abstract

The role of innovations as a key factor in public administration development and state functions transformation remains so far insufficiently studied. The research objective is to study social consequences of applying innovative technologies in public administration, while analyzing state functions dynamics as influenced by developing innovations. Main research methods are the universal philosophical method of scientific knowledge; analysis, synthesis, comparative legal and systematic methods. Mainstreaming of innovative technologies in public administration creates conditions for emerging and developing new state functions - ensuring innovative security and overcoming inequalities in information society associated with limited accessibility of innovations for certain population strata. In line with global trends, the implementation of basic state functions is closely linked with the innovative development function and ensuring national innovative security thereby creating conditions for implementing other state functions. That said, account should also be taken of using innovative technologies in public administration poses certain risks to human rights, and therefore, the development of innovations should only be the material basis for achieving the primary goal of the state - ensuring and protecting human rights and freedoms. Our research results demonstrate dynamics and nature of state functions in today’s world with development and implementation of innovations.
