This article examines the role of the transformation of public authority as an institution and the problem of its subjects’ competence as factors in the state’s competitiveness as a subject of public administration in the context of the growing importance of knowledge and information. The author asserts that in the modern information society, where knowledge becomes the primary resource, states must adapt their administrative structures to remain competitive subjects of public administration. The author considers how the competence of the subjects of public authority affects the effectiveness of public administration and the state’s ability to respond to rapid changes in the global environment. Using PEST analysis to assess the impact of political, economic, social, and technological factors on the processes of transformation of public authority and the development of its competence, the author has managed to identify that political stability, economic development, social cohesion, and technological innovations are vital to enhancing the competitiveness of the state as a subject of public administration. Among the fundamental problems that hinder the provision of competitiveness of the state as a subject of effective public administration, the author examines the problem of the spread of unreliable information and the incompetence of the authorities in this context. In this regard, the author proposes several tools to solve these problems, including legislative changes, the development of media literacy, support for independent fact-checking initiatives, and increasing the competence of public authority.

In conclusion, the author asserts that states that invest in developing knowledge and information technologies have the potential to achieve higher competitiveness. The author emphasizes that the management of information and knowledge becomes a critical element in strengthening the state’s competitiveness as a subject of public administration. The study of this problem contributes to a deeper understanding of how states can use the transformation of public authority and its competence to enhance their role on the international stage. The article is intended for reading by managers at all levels, politicians, and researchers interested in developing effective public administration strategies and enhancing the state’s competitiveness as a public administration subject.

Keywords: power transformation, competence, competitiveness, institutional capacity, information society, knowledge, media literacy, innovation, political stability, technological development.
