THE IMPACT OF PRESERVING THE TRADITIONAL VALUE SYSTEM ONPUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN MODERN ARMENIA
The preservation of the traditional value system is one of the most important problems of the modern globalizing world, which has an existential significance for nations. As is known, in recent decades, the basis of ideological development in the world is considered to be the value system of neoliberalism. Since the 1990s, many transitional countries began to be forced to copy the Western model of liberalism. Naturally, the societies of many states resisted and continue to resist such processes, considering them a threat to their identity, traditions and value system. The society of the Republic of Armenia alsofaces such problems. In the article, the issue of preserving the traditional value system in Armenia is considered not only from the point of view of preserving national identity, but also as a problem of existence in the context of confronting the challenges of globalization. It is concluded that on the path of modern transformations of the value system, the power system of Armenia should consider global developments and new manifestations of worldview, which in the foreseeable future will leave their mark on modern Armenian society. Accordingly, the Republic of Armenia should not unconditionally reject the ideas proposed by globalism, but study them and localize the useful ones that do not contradict the peculiarities of the country and its interests, implementing all this in parallel with the preservation of traditional values. Today, our state is required to pursue a flexible policy: without harming our traditional values, to adopt and localize many civilizational principles that contribute to international recognition. From the point of view of the public administration system of the Republic of Armenia, several factors are important for maintaining this balance. First, public policy should be based on the principles of respect for traditions and keeping pace with international developments. Secondly, the introduction of the principles of transparency and accountability in the public administration system will also contribute to increasing public trust, which is an important prerequisite for value transformations. Finally, regional decentralized governance can contribute to the preservation of local identity, taking into consideration the peculiarities of different communities in the governance system, while maintaining the general direction of state policy.
