Abstract

The article examines the main aspects of the problem of the ratio of private and public interest in the context of public administration, in particular the issue of harmonizing private and public interests, the role of public administration in ensuring the public interest, as well as ways to resolve conflicts between the interests of the state and an individual. The essence and meaning of the category “public interest” in the theory and practice of public administration are investigated. The problems of the ratio of interests of a person and the state, private and public interest are considered. The ways of harmonizing the state interest with the public and a set of private interests are analyzed. The statement that public administration is always aimed at the implementation and provision of the public interest is substantiated. Ways of solving the problem of harmonizing state interests and the interests of an individual are proposed. It is proven that the subject of public interest is a public need that has a social character and is necessary for the full functioning and development of society and individual social groups.
