Abstract:
In the article, the formation and development of public administration in the Azerbaijan Republic is considered, firstly, in the context of the country’s history and culture, its natural, geographical, social, economic features; secondly, through the prism of the principles of sustainable development and the emerging trend in the formation of e-government. It is shown that over the years since independence, the Republic has managed to resolve a number of internal and external political problems, to overcome the consequences of a severe systemic crisis of the 1990s. Invariably the focus of attention of state bodies over the years has been economic issues, the problems of its diversification and the social and humanitarian sphere, its state, prerequisites and conditions for development. A comparative analysis based on official reports of international organizations shows that a number of important economic and social indicators of Azerbaijan are now at the same level as those of the G7 countries. The achieved level of economic development and implemented successful social policy became possible due to the formation of an adequate system of state and municipal government in the Republic. The article reveals the connection between the formation of an effective public administration system and the spiritual, moral, and cultural condition of society. The support by citizens of public administration structures on the basis of trust creates a positive situation of synergy of management and social self-organization. It is emphasized that maintaining a sustainable development of society, its inclusive nature is possible with an advanced personnel policy in the field of public administration and the use of innovative technologies.
