Essential characteristics reflecting the patterns of public administration of the sociopolitical sphere

In the presented article, the author examines the essential characteristics reflecting the patterns of public administration of the socio-political sphere. It denotes the subjects of management – government agencies and the object of management – people, their communities, public opinion and joint activities. The researcher argues that the effectiveness of the management impact does not always depend on the choice of management methods. The management goal that must be achieved is of paramount importance. There may be cases when the management goal coincides with the goals of the activities of people and their associations, and then it is much easier to obtain the necessary management result than in cases where they do not coincide. To illustrate this statement, the work provides examples reflecting the facts that the socio-political sphere can react differently to the management impact exerted on it. Specific events occurring in the international arena confirm the assertion that in the event of a mismatch of goals, the management result is quite difficult to predict. At the same time, the world historical events cited by the author as examples emphasize the arguments for the need for a high-quality study of the socio-political sphere in order to acquire the ability to predict the results of influence on it based on the identified patterns. At the same time, within the framework of the article, the author argues that the socio-political sphere is not only capable of perceiving the impact exerted on it, but also itself influences the policy of the state. Based on the analysis of such events as “reaction”, “pendulum”, “black swan” and “bifurcation point”, he formulated essential characteristics reflecting the patterns of change in the situation in the socio-political sphere.
