Introduction. Legislative regulation of foreign trade operations in the United States is the responsibility of the federal authorities. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) has primary responsibility for developing and coordinating US policy on international trade, commodities, and direct investment, and overseeing trade negotiations with other countries. The priorities of managing the activities of the Office on the part of the Democratic administration of John Biden reveal the main direction of the international economic policy of the United States at the present stage.

Materials and methods. In preparing the article, the method of structural-functional, comparative analysis, expert, statistical, formal-logical, systemic methods, and the comparative-historical approach of a comprehensive interdisciplinary study of empirical data were used, which in modern conditions allows a well-known rethinking of approaches to assessing the mechanisms of public administration of foreign trade activities of leading countries world, in particular the United States, to form a vision that meets the requirements of the time of the most optimal ways to implement this form of regulation of foreign economic policy.

Results of the research. The Joe Biden administration's approach to using the Office of the US Trade Representative to further the United States' expansionist foreign economic aspirations is indicative of a general shift in focus from opening up new markets to pursuing "worker-centric" trade policies that seek to use the tools of international trade ties to maintain dominance. US position in world politics and the global economy. The study of the current system of state regulation of foreign trade in the United States makes it possible to identify the main priorities, goals and methods of building the country's foreign economic activity in line with the international policy pursued by the democratic administration of J. Biden, aimed at maintaining the dominant role of the United States within the unipolar world, to answer the question of how effectively such a system can actually help achieve the goals of official Washington in today's radically transforming world order.

Introduction. The large-scale tasks faced by the state in the process of building its democratic, legal foundations in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation required the legislative establishment and development of the conceptual foundations of the public service system as a tool for implementing plans in the field of state construction and improving the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures.

The basic principles of the functioning of the civil service were defined by the Concept of Reforming the Civil Service System of the Russian Federation (2001). Among them, for the first time, the principle of ethical behavior of civil servants was included. This determined the importance and relevance of the task of public service ethicization as one of the anti-corruption factors, which should have been further developed in subsequent legal acts regulating the functioning of the public service and reflected in the implementation of the decisions taken.

Materials and methods. In order to study the degree of implementation of measures aimed at the etization of the civil service, overcoming the "lack of morality" of its personnel corps and the formation of a system of management of moral relations in the civil service, legislative acts regulating the management of the system of moral relations in the civil service, compliance with the requirements for the official behavior of civil servants of the Russian Federation and municipal employees, prevention and settlement of conflicts of interest in the state and municipal service are analyzed, professional development of civil servants. The methodological basis of the study was the universal method of cognition - dialectics, general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, deduction and induction, comparative legal, systemic, formal logical and other methods.

Research result. The results of the study. The analysis of legal regulations regulating the moral aspects of the functioning of the civil service of the Russian Federation as a whole and the structures created in federal state bodies and state bodies of the subjects of the Federation, as well as in municipal bodies, ensuring compliance with the requirements for the official behavior of civil servants, conflict of interest settlement and prevention of corruption and other offenses, allowed us to establish that the palliative nature of measures to ensure the implementation of the provisions of legislation, in many ways, it devalues their importance, deprives them of their effectiveness and negatively affects both the level of non-decreasing corruption in the country and the degree of trust of citizens in state and municipal government.

Discussion and Conclusion. The palliative nature of solving the tasks contained in the legislation on the civil service of the Russian Federation, revealed during the analysis of a number of legal acts, still leaves unresolved the urgent tasks of implementing the mission of the civil service, moral improvement of its personnel, which negatively affects the level of trust of citizens in the authorities and the degree of effectiveness of combating corruption in public administration.

Introduction. The purpose of this study is to analyze changes in the socially oriented activities of the largest Russian companies in 2019-2021 in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to find an answer to the question of how the pandemic affected the implementation of ESG strategies by Russian businesses.

Materials and methods. Lukoil, Uralkali, ROSNEFT, SIBUR, Russian Railways, Aeroflot and PhosAgro were chosen as representative cases, which was due to the leadership of these companies in the Indices of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs for 2020 "Responsibility and openness" and "Vector of sustainable development". Leading positions in these ratings allow us to assert a high degree of social responsibility of these representatives of large businesses, which, first of all, implies a strategy for the mutually beneficial development of companies and the environment in which they work.

Research results. Based on the non-financial reports the authors come to the conclusion that even before pandemic the Russian big companies were more focused on the social sphere, and now as a result of the new conditions this trends are significantly more vivid. On the other hand, companies from different industries show various ESG strategies that surprisingly are not correlated with financial losses from pandemic.

Discussion and conclusion. Speaking about the impact of the pandemic on the priorities of the companies, it should be noted that in resource-oriented companies, the priorities have not changed much. Rather, it is about a change in the direction of increasing the share of social goals. This trend is especially noticeable in Rosneft and Sibur. And nonoil companies have significantly reduced the total amount of funds allocated to finance the sustainable development goals. The situation in transport companies is quite different. In all the cases considered, a radical turn towards socially oriented programs is obvious.
