THE HISTORY OF PUBLIC SERVICE IN SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS IN 2011-2015 (BASED ON THE MATERIALS OF THE RSCI): DEPARTMENTAL ASPECT AND DEPARTMENTAL POLICY OF THE STATE

Abstract

The article continues to publish the results of studying the historiography of civil service: an analysis of publications devoted to the departmental aspect of the civil service and the departmental policy of the state is given. The first part of the study, published in the Bulletin of Humanitarian Education (2024. No. 4), examines the basic points of the study (relevance of the topic, methodology and methods, justification of the chronological framework, etc.). The works identified during the search are divided into several thematic groups. The first group includes publications concerning the general historical and theoretical aspects of the state (civil) service in the past and present, they are considered in the published part of the study. The second part is currently in publication. This article reviews 18 papers (out of 147 analyzed in the course of research). Conclusions are drawn about the absence of a dominant trend in the study of the history of public service in individual departments during the period under review. In some works, there is a desire to go beyond the stated topic or to give an extended interpretation of the problems under consideration. When considering the specifics of the service in individual departments, it became clear that articles related to the history of customs authorities are more common, which may be a reflection of the specifics of the moment and is not a stable trend. The authors' research interests also include the organizational and legal basics of the activities of individual departments, the specifics of the formation of cadres of civil servants in specific departments, including the history of the development of the personnel training system in the pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet periods. Attempts were made to address humanitarian problems related to public service: changes in public consciousness, the formation of corporate culture, internal ethics of official relations and other issues
