The national administrative-legal doctrine is ultimately formed by domestic scholars-administrators, although the influence of the developments of foreign scholars (especially from the countries where the defining administrative-legal ideas and concepts originated) is difficult to deny. At the same time, the doctrine of administrative law differed objectively depending on the state to which the Ukrainian lands belonged in historical retrospect and the corresponding legal system.

The purpose of the article is to highlight the historical and legal preconditions and the main factors that have influenced and continue to influence the formation of the national doctrine of administrative law both in the past and at the present stage. In addition, the task is to outline the main priorities for the development of administrative and legal doctrine, necessary to complete its full development in Ukraine.

 It is established that the change of the value orientation of administrative law from “state-centric”, which dominated in the Soviet period, to “human-centrist”, is supported today by almost all Ukrainian scholars-administrators or, at least, not denied in modern publications. But as of today, the emphasis exclusively on “human-centeredness” and ignoring the common interest, including the interests of the state or territorial communities, has also become a kind of bias, not very correct for the doctrine of administrative law. Unlike civil law, which focuses on the provision of private interests, the purpose of administrative studies since its inception is more complex and involves taking into account both private and public interests and ensuring a balance between them.

The author concludes that while maintaining the priority of “human-centrism”, to fully complete the formation of the national doctrine of national administrative law should pay special attention to the development of public interest and public good. There are also two other important areas of development for administrative and legal research at the present stage: the legal regulation of good administration and administrative discretion (discretionary powers),
