But one needs to study in more detail the political service in Ukraine. Paper objective. The purpose of the article is to describe the political service as one of the types of public service. Paper main body. The political component of the public service is a relatively new domestic institution, although the debate on the delineation of policy and administration in the field of public administration has been under way since W. Wilson, who in 1887 clearly divided his policy and administration into his essay «The Study of Administration». Ukraine has gone through a difficult path to implement a mechanism for distinguishing between politics and administration in the public sphere.For the first time, the idea of demarcation of political and administrative positions with the need to introduce a politi- cal figure (politician) in the official sphere appeared in the Concept of Administrative Reform in Ukraine since 1998. However, only in 2001, political positions were officially recognized in accordance with the Decree of the President of Ukraine «On next steps for further implementation of administrative reform in Ukraine». Political positions are one of the types of public service posts, which, by their pecu- liarities and politico-legal principles, differ significantly from other public service posi- tions, in particular civil service. The political nature of these positions is determined by: a special procedure for appointment to a post regulated by the constitution and laws; a special procedure for dismissal and termination of authority; special types of responsibil- ity, which has signs of public, mainly political, for the consequences of being a political figure. In their activities, political figures are guided by specific principles: the presence of a clear political position; activity and initiative; political morality (observance of its political position). Conclusions of the research. The political service in Ukraine generally received a legislative settlement. The article also emphasizes the lack of legislative regulation of a number of executive positions in state bodies, which are not subject to the new Law of Ukraine «On Civil Service».
