In the introductory chapters, after clarifying the basic relations with other sciences, it gives an overview of what all the authors from Plato to today have dealt with, examining the subject from philosophical, theological, legal, economic, organizational, managerial, psychological, sociological and political science perspectives, and on the basis of which it is possible to formulate a demand for public administration to become legitimate, costeffective, flexible, comprehensible, open, participatory and democratic, and for its theory to be truly interdisciplinary. In the chapter on the actors of public administration, attention is paid not only to the state administration at all levels, but also to local, special interest and special interest selfgovernments, other public corporations and institutions and other actors of public administration, but also, in a framework, to providers of public services. The final chapter is devoted to public administration transformations and reforms. All the chapters are based on a rich factual literature, both domestic and foreign. The publication is supplemented by a list of references, containing more than 500 titles by domestic but mainly foreign authors.

A peer-reviewed collection of contributions from the 6th year of the international scientific conference for doctoral students, which took place on March 19, 2021 (online via MS Teams).

Doctoral studies, as the highest level of higher education, prepare students interested in further education to acquire new knowledge and creatively apply it in their future scientific work. Students of doctoral studies actively participate in obtaining new, original scientific results and thus contribute to the development of scientific knowledge in their field.

Doctoral studies play a crucial role in educating top experts. From this perspective, we consider it essential to emphasize creativity and originality in research work, the development of critical thinking, the ability to discuss specific professional problems in broader contexts, and the ability to present achieved results. The Faculty of Public Administration at P.J. Šafárik University in Košice also created space for such professional discussions and presentations of achieved results by organizing the 6th annual scientific conference "Theory and Practice of Public Administration," which took place on March 19, 2021. Public administration is an integral part of every democratic state, influencing each of our lives; therefore, discussing its current issues and familiarizing ourselves with new solutions is necessary. The scientific conference was attended by 33 participants from the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, and Slovakia. The contributions presented focused on current public administration issues from legal, economic, social, and political perspectives.

Recenzovaný zborník príspevkov z medzinárodnej vedeckej konferencie organizovanej pri príležitosti 20. výročia vzniku Fakulty verejnej správy Univerzity Pavla Jozefa Šafárika v Košiciach konanej dňa 15. novembra 2018 v Košiciach.

Dňa 15. novembra 2018 sa v priestoroch Fakulty verejnej správy Univerzity P. J. Šafárika v Košiciach konala medzinárodná vedecká konferencia „Verejná správa v súčasnom demokratickom a právnom štáte“. Vedeckým podujatím, ktorého sa zúčastnilo viac ako 60 odborníkov z domácich i zahraničných vysokých škôl a fakúlt, ale aj predstaviteľov rôznych inštitúcií z prostredia verejnej správy, si Fakulta verejnej správy pripomenula 20. výročie svojho vzniku. Prvá časť konferencie prebiehala v rámci plenárneho zasadnutia, druhá pokračovala rokovaním v štyroch sekciách, ktorých názvy sa zhodujú s prioritnou vedeckou orientáciou jednotlivých katedier fakulty. Na plenárnom zasadnutí, ako aj v odborných sekciách odznelo veľa obsahovo kvalitných a podnetných vystúpení, ktoré nesporne prispejú k ďalšiemu rozvíjaniu teórie verejnej správy – všeobecne, a k rozvíjaniu čiastkových vedeckých tém riešených katedrami fakulty – zvlášť. Vedeckú konferenciu sprevádzal pracovný charakter, kultivované vedecké a odborné prostredie, v jeho rámci nespočetné diskusie účastníkov viažuce sa k aktuálnym otázkam a problémom verejnej správy, ale aj formulovaniu návrhov na ďalšiu možnú spoluprácu v oblasti vedy a vzdelania. Fakulta vydáva z vedeckej konferencie recenzovaný vedecký zborník, ktorý bude mať dve časti, vzhľadom na veľký počet aktívnych účastníkov. V prvej časti sú zahrnuté tri vystúpenia z plenárneho zasadnutia korešpondujúce s obsahom príspevkov, ktoré odzneli v rámci rokovania sekcií garantovaných Katedrou verejnej politiky a teórie verejnej správy a Katedrou verejnoprávnych disciplín. V druhej časti sú dve vystúpenia z plenárneho zasadnutia, ktoré obsahovo súvisia s rokovaním sekcií garantovaných Katedrou sociálnych vied a Katedrou ekonomiky a riadenia verejnej správy. Poďakovanie patrí všetkým aktívnym účastníkom vedeckej konferencie, ale aj tým, ktorí sa na jej príprave a priebehu organizačne podieľali.

The contributions focused on the issue of bureaucratic rules applied in various organizational and political processes and on the issue of knowledge organization from different perspectives. The information discussed during the scientific conference contributed to emphasizing the need to address this issue primarily from an interdisciplinary framework. It is precisely the integration of diverse knowledge and experiences from many scientific disciplines that ensures the comprehensiveness of understanding the researched topic in both its breadth and depth.
