Abstract

The research is devoted to the identification and analysis of the vectors of the evolution of the modern system of ethics of public authority. The first of them arose within the framework of the Weber paradigm, which consists in the codification of the norms of ethics of public authorities, which is largely anti-corruption. The second vector is associated with the introduction of the New Public Management paradigm and consists in reorienting the ethics of public authority and the personality of a civil servant to the service-management concept of public administration. The third vector emerged in line with the "Good Governance" paradigm. It focuses the ethical system of public authority on cooperation with all participants of the socio-political field and inclusiveness. In the context of the digitalization of the socio-political space, the Good Governance paradigm has begun a rapid evolution into the Digital Era Governance paradigm. Under these conditions, the public authorities faced an urgent need to modernize their ethical system, the need for its dynamic adaptation to rapidly changing technological realities and faced the challenges of a new ethics.
