Abstract

Problem setting. The article examines the problem of the territorial community subjectness evolution in the context of local self-government reform in Ukraine, its role changing in regional policy. The development of subjectness is considered on the background of solving the problems of investment activity, the resolution of regional targeted and integrated programs, the creation in amalgamated communities centers for the provision of administrative services, ensuring the effective use of natural resources, etc.In the course of local self-government reform, with the emergence of amalgamated territorial communities, actually as a new institution of local self-government, it is right to speak about the evolution of subjectness of local self-government bodies, in particular the territorial communities. The amalgamated territorial communities have broad powers of decision-making, not only within the limits of their community, but also in the regional policy as a whole, by providing a wider scope for the democratization of public administration, with the greatest possible consideration of the needs of local people in decision-making, accessibility and quality assurance public services to citizens, effective local development at the basic level of management, interaction with foreign funds and programs.Recent research and publications analysis. Issues of territorial community’s development, as well as the management of this process are considered by such scientists as M. O. Баймуратов, О. В. Batanov, I. P. Butko, Ya. A. Zhalilo, V. S. Kuibida, Yu. O. Kuts, Yu. B. Newlywed, N. I. Ruda, V. V. Tolkovanov and others. The research of these scholars has unconditional theoretical significance, but there is a lack of modern scientific works in which the essence of the concept of «amalgamated territorial community» and the subjectness of the amalgamated territorial community would be investigated.The paper objective is an analysis of the ways of the territorial community subjectness evolution in the context of local self-government reforming.The paper main body. The notion of «subjectness of a territorial community» determines its place in the institutional system of local self-government, the activity of which implements its capabilities and potential, the ability to freedom of choice of actions, the ability to independently solve complex tasks of social, economic and political life, influence the adoption of political decisions regarding the interests of citizens. The study of the territorial community subjectness evolution in the course of the reform of local self-government becomes especially relevant for understanding the essence of transient processes, the problems that arise and the ways of overcoming them.An important place in the development of the subjectness of the amalgamated territorial communities is the question of financial support of their activities for the development of rural areas, ensuring their sustainability and attractiveness for investors, development of investment potential.The role of communities in solving regional targeted and integrated programs that contribute to the achievement of the strategic objectives of regional policy is increasing.In the process of decentralization, communities have wider powers, resources and responsibilities. The list of services that can be provided on the ground is constantly expanding; the creation of Centers for the provision of administrative services in amalgamated communities plays an important role.Conclusion. The evolution of the territorial community subjectness is connected, above all, with the process of association of territorial communities in the course of the reform of local self-government and territorial organization of power on the principles of decentralization. Amalgamated communities received wide powers in solving socio-economic problems, significantly strengthened their role in regional policy. This role will continue to grow with the completion of the process of association of communities, solving problems of their interaction with territorial state authorities, improving the institutional system of local self-government
