“…It is also core in the contemporary literature on public administration (Barabashev and Straussman, 2007;Bozeman, 2007;Dillman, 2008;Lewis, 2006;Morrell, 2009;Rhodes, 2009). It is used here to capture the core senses that public good, public interest and common good have as consideration of shared benefit.…”

“…A tradition of private ownership of property is at the core of contemporary models of democracy. In Russia for instance, one marker of transition has been a move to a protective attitude to private property (Barabashev and Straussman, 2007). In Nicaragua, the property problems had their origins in the system of large estates, a legacy of Spanish colonial rule, and the FSLN's decision to use land repartition as its principal tool of political and economic change.…”

“…Public interest is an ancient idea that remains at the heart of writing on religious, social and applied ethics (Hollenbach 2002; Dorrien 2008; Carcello 2009; O’Brien 2009). It is also core in the contemporary literature on public administration (Lewis 2006; Barabashev and Straussman 2007; Bozeman 2007; Dillman 2008; Morrell 2009; Rhodes and Wanna 2009). At the same time as an apparent consensus about the core meaning of ‘public interest', there are long‐standing and well‐acknowledged problems with using this as an analytic concept (Schubert 1962).…”

‘Public interest' (synonymous here with ‘common good’ and ‘public good’) is a central concept in public administration. In an important, basic sense, we evaluate the effectiveness of governments in terms of whether their policies are detrimental to, or benefit, public interest. However there are problems operationalizing public interest: it seems a concept that is simultaneously indispensable yet vague. While difficulties operationalizing public interest are widely understood, a further problem is insufficiently acknowledged. This is that many features underpinning public interest (a tradition of citizenship, stable government, a rule of law, basic infrastructures) are taken for granted in established democracies. However, in other contexts we cannot assume these. Examining what public interest means in developing countries can be useful to identify these taken for granted assumptions, and to re‐examine this ubiquitous and enduring concept. We do this through a case study of land rights reform in post conflict Nicaragua.

“…In line with Russian tradition, it is staff of executive authorities (Atamanchuk, 2008;Obolonsky, 2011;Rubtsova, 2007;Pavenkova, 2001;Barabashev and Straussman, 2007;Gashkov et al, 2016;Malinina et al, 2015;Mishalchenko et al, 2016;Rubtsova, 2011) who have to execute the function of state, including defence, policing and law making. The same definition is typical for China, where the civil service is defined as the actor of governance (Chan and Suizhou, 2007;Wu, 2014).…”

Public servants are important actors in the system of public goods delivery. Performance measuring governance in terms of the modern state is centres on establishing the contentment of the customers purchasing these goods. This means the public servants need special professional skills to fulfilling civil clients' needs. We would like to identify the degree of personal support for this conception. The research was carried out in December 2014 in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Russia. The method adopted was a questionnaire; data processing was carried out using SPSS. The results of the research show that public servants are still guided by old skills and requirements. However, staff at the age of 30 years (35%) more frequently choose the satisfaction of client needs as the main goals of authorities. This gives us hope that the professional skills of public servants will change in line with new requirements.
