Purpose. Improving the quality policy of managing the civil service of Ukraine through the use of foreign experience in implementing the "Lean system". Methodology. In the study, the authors used general methods of scientific knowledge. In particular: a) empirical research methods: selection of factual material on reforming the civil service management of the UK and Ukraine, as well as establishing links between the accumulated research results; b) theoretical research methods: analysis and synthesis, modeling, rising from the abstract to the concrete, and others, which allowed the authors to identify one of the reasons for the ineffective reform of the civil service management of Ukraine. Findings. The authors briefly examined the history of the formation of the civil service management of Ukraine. It has been noted that the management quality policy in Ukraine was formulated only in the new Law of Ukraine "On Civil Service", which entered into force on May 1, 2016. However, according to results of monitoring of governance reforms conducted by the Agency for Legislative Initiatives in 2017, the quality of public administration remains low. The analysis allowed the authors to establish that one of the reasons for the poor quality of management is non-use of the "Lean system" in the quality management policy. The authors examined the features of lean management, as well as the experience of its implementation in the two largest central governmental departments (UK): the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (the Department of Revenue and Customs). The results obtained allowed the authors to propose an advanced policy of the quality of civil service management in Ukraine based on the "Lean system". Originality. During the analysis of the process of reforming the management of the civil service of Ukraine, the authors found one of the reasons that reduced the quality of management. The authors proved that this reason is the lack of the principles of "lean management" or "Lean systems" in the quality management policy. To eliminate this cause, the authors proposed taking advantage of the Lean system implementation experience in managing the two largest central government departments in the UK: the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Practical value. The results of the study are intended to improve the quality policy of civil service management in Ukraine. The use of the "Lean system", as well as foreign experience in its implementation, will improve the quality of civil service management in Ukraine. The management quality policy based on the "Lean system" will eliminate the deficiencies identified as a result of monitoring public administration reforms and achieve the management quality that is not inferior in effectiveness to civil service management in the European Union.

Purpose. To conduct a systematic analysis of the state environmental policy, to identify threats to ecologization and the necessary directions for improvement of the state environmental policy. Methodology. To perform scientific research there were used: the method of content analysis - to assess the scientific achievements and identify unresolved aspects of the problem; method of comparative analysis for evaluation and processing of statistical information; method of analysis and synthesis to form the purpose of the study; methods of abstraction and generalization, formalization - for detailed elaboration of various aspects of the problem; system-structural method and the method of convergence from the abstract to the concrete - for the formation of conclusions and proposals. Findings. New risks and threats to the state environmental policy have been identified and their impact has been analyzed. The analysis revealed that the state environmental policy does not always extend into regional and sectoral environmental policy. It is established that departmental structures responsible for environmental monitoring do not have proper coordination of their actions, even in time, which complicates integrated information processing. In many areas there is no long-term state forecasting of environmental and economic factors. There is no adequate level of systematization in the formation of structured economic and tax incentives for the introduction of effective environmental technologies and compliance with norms and rules in environmental protection. Originality. A systematic analysis of the state environmental policy has been carried out, the formation of the emergent nature of ecological and economic factors has been indicated. Mechanisms of the state ecological policy have been formulated. Threats for ecologization policy and necessary directions of improvement of the state ecological policy have been detected. Practical value. The results of statistical analysis can be used by scientists and practitioners. To reform environmental and economic policy, the threat of imbalance in economic and tax incentives for greening has been pointed out, which may lead to delays in the development and slowdown of technological renewal of industrial sectors, in particular, the energy sector. It has been pointed out that the state ecological and economic policy should be a systemic tool of social policy, help stabilize the situation and overcome the crisis in all spheres of life. The importance of the role of the civil sector in the ecologization of the country and of the need to form a system for developing the environmental consciousness of society has been indicated.
