Administrative law – the legal basis of realization of public administration

The article substantiates the thesis that administrative law is the legal basis for the implementation of public  administration. Each public institution performs a certain function in the state, which contributes to the imple- mentation of state policy in a particular area of public life in order to achieve the common good - building a civil  society and the rule of law in a particular area. The institution of public administration is no exception as an activ- ity aimed at solving priority tasks and achieving specific goals to increase the efficiency of state bodies and enter- prises, institutions or organizations in a clearly defined area, optimizing their activities in view of a set of external  and internal factors. Like any public activity, public administration is determined by the rules of law that regulate  relations in this area and through which it is implemented and performs its direct functions. It was found out that  public administration is realized through norms of administrative law. It is the norms of administrative law that  can help to form such a model of public administration in Ukraine, which will make it possible to harmonize the  relationship in the system “man - state” and ensure that the interests of both parties in public policy in all spheres  of society. It is proved that administrative law with its system of institutions and legal norms should become the  platform on which public administration in Ukraine will develop. Therefore, it is substantiated that public admin- istration is realized through the norms of administrative law, because it is the norms of administrative law that  regulate the activities of executive authorities, local governments, enterprises, institutions and organizations, ie  subjects of public administration.
