Conceptualization of public services and public administration

The paper attempts to conceptualize public services in the context of public administration. The author shows that a public service is inherently connected with public administration and the difficulties of its conceptualization are naturally associated with the crisis of modern public administration against the background of increased dynamics of the complexity of society. Overcoming the difficulties of conceptualizing public services is associated with the abandonment of positivist approaches and turning to dialectical ones.
