ПЕРЕРОЗПОДІЛ ЕКОНОМІЧНИХ ПОВНОВАЖЕНЬ В СИСТЕМІ ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНОЇ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ ВЛАДИ В УКРАЇНІ В УМОВАХ ДЕЦЕНТРАЛІЗАЦІЇ

Abstract

Territorial organization of power in the author’s version is a scientifically sound system of public relations, based on legislation and designed to exercise managerial influence on the development of society, covering the national, regional, district and base levels. The article analyzes the impact of horizontal decentralization of public power and governance, the essence of which is the transfer of financial, economic and power levers from central government to united territorial communities (UTC), on the redistribution of economic levers in the system of organization of power in Ukraine. The key importance of the redistributed economic powers of the UTC, new districts, and large towns of regional importance for political and administrative decentralization has been identified. The performance of new functions of these subjects of power is monitored, proposals on optimization of the system of territorial organization of power are given taking into account the changes that have taken place at the subregional and basic levels of administrative-territorial units of Ukraine. It is conclusions that the implementation of the reform of decentralization of public power and governance will in some way affect the formation of a new model of the pyramid of power. So, the central executive bodies, focusing on defense and security, budgetary, social and control functions, will at the same time try to provide appropriate institutional conditions for public authorities and management at the regional, subregional and basic levels; The power influence of regional state administrations and regional councils on social processes taking place in the regions will be somewhat weakened due to the strengthening of economic powers of districts, cities of regional significance, UTCs, and business structures. The scientific novelty and practical significance of the study lies in substantiating the consequences of redistribution of economic powers on political and administrative levers of influence on social processes of central executive bodies, regional state administrations, regional councils, new districts, large cities of regional significance, UTC. Proposals are made to prevent centrifugal tendencies, the emergence of local “princes”, ethnic enclave socio-spatial formations in certain regions of Ukraine. It is noted that the improvement of the territorial organization of power requires the intensification of scientific research on the reform of the administrative-territorial system at the regional level.
