The aim of the article is to disclose the content of a new view on the essence of digital communication, caused by changes in various aspects of social development and the need to draft effective management practices for digital technologies, digital communication, and artificial intelligence. Providing such an opportunity combines a complex and interdisciplinary approach, which represents a combination of methods and means of various scientific disciplines. The authors substantiate the thesis that the mandatory nature of the implementation of certain rules and norms arising from public law relations by State agencies and citizens creates special conditions for conflict in the context of digital communication. This is explained by the fact that the interests of the State and private individuals do not always coincide, especially regarding access to information, transparency of management processes and interaction with the public through digital channels. It is proposed to develop and implement mechanisms for regulating digital communication in the public law sphere based on a balance between the interests of the State, private individuals and the protection of human rights in the online environment. The need to use positive experience of the EU and other countries of the world, which have developed and adopted legal instruments governing the creation and use of artificial intelligence and standardized the digital transformation of their countries and the EU as a whole, is substantiated.

Updating the state policy of Ukraine in the field of space exploration and use of outer space and optimizing the administration of the space sector is an urgent task concerning the existing disparity between the possibilities and practical application of space potential in Ukraine. Taking into account the specifics of space activities, the specifics of international and national regulation of its implementation, it is relevant to study the concept of “policy – administration” in the context of regulating space activities in Ukraine. Providing such an opportunity is based on the combined use of methodological tools of scientific activity, combining general theoretical and special legal methodology of conducting scientific research. Thus, the dialectical method became the basis for revealing the philosophical foundations of the content and essence of the categories “politicy” and “administration,” and the formally logical method made it possible to search for their common and distinctive features. As a result, we conclude that there is no clear correlation between the terms “politicy” and “administration” in the context f domestic scientific thought and normative doctrine. Methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis provided an opportunity to find out the characteristic features of the domestic concept of “policy – administration” in the context of regulating the space activities of Ukraine. In particular, the necessity of normative rejection of domestic political and administrative subjects from Soviet approaches to the settlement of space relations, the transition to the concept of “Public Administration” with the understanding that although administration and politics are different spheres, they cannot be completely separated. In turn, with the assistance of the formal legal method, as well as methods of system analysis and generalization, it is concluded that public policy should be perceived as a tool for ensuring the legitimacy of actions, decisions and inaction of public administration and a guarantee of transparency and clarity of the established rules and conditions for the study and use of outer space. At the same time, public administration should ensure the existence of a legal regime for the implementation of space activities and the effectiveness, expediency and effectiveness of its existence.

The authors study the impact of space activities on local development and its sustainability. The article focuses on the hypothesis that the benefits of space technology, combining global, regional and local administrative legal instruments, should be applied to build the potential of a given location and improve its economic future and the quality of life of its inhabitants. In the study, philosophical worldview methods (dialectical and idealistic) enable to form philosophical and legal approaches to local development and the regular modern paradigm of public administration of space activities. The scientific novelty of the study is a concept developed for public administration of space activities in the context of their implementation with respect to local development in Ukraine, which envisages the adoption and entry into force of “Road Map for Sustainable Local Development to 2025” with a list of promising directions of space activities development at the local level. The study concludes that local development as a process implies a long-term perspective on the priorities for the future development of the Territories. One such priority is to use the results of space activities for the benefit of local communities.

This work is devoted to the analysis of the phenomenon of corruption, its impact on the development of the space industry, because under the condition of the rapid development of new space technologies, building a new model of the space economy and generally rethinking the prospects of the space industry by the world, the exploration of its unknown spaces — this question is extremely relevant. In a global sense, corruption as a transnational socio-legal phenomenon is, firstly, a type of behavior of persons with a special status (particularly in the sphere of making individual decisions that have legal consequences), in which the interests of such a person occupy a privileged position over public or state ones; secondly, it is a reviled ideology of society that allows, contrary to the law, to commit, allow or encourage unethical and illegal behavior of authorized persons. In a general sense, it is a comprehensive phenomenon that includes manifestations of any abuse of a special status on the one hand, and on the other — inducement and active actions before their implementation by other interested persons. In other words, it is a two-way relationship, a symbiosis of needs and benefits. It is proved that corruption in the space industry is manifested by the aggregate indicator of its existence in the state, in its main sectors. The space industry is hindered in its development precisely because funds that should potentially be used for research and development of outer space are not being used for their intended purpose. Accordingly, there is no innovation activity, and technological progress is minimal. Therefore, the priority is to eliminate corruption both in the world and in individual countries, because it, like a viral infection, tends to migrate, threatening the entire humanity
