Legal consolidation of coordination relations between local state administrations and territorial bodies of central executive authorities (according to the bill on local state administrations)

Abstract

Introduction. In the practice of public administration there are changes due to the need to decentralize the executive branch, including changes in the functions and powers of local state administrations (LSA). It is important to ensure that these changes are consistent with the scientific approaches formed by scientists. This applies in particular to the relations that arise between LSA and territorial bodies of central executive authorities (TB CEA). The aim of the article. The purpose of the article is to analyze the compliance with scientific approaches of legislative novelties proposed in connection with the reform of decentralization and change the functions and powers of LSA, which in turn will change the managerial relations between LSA and TB CEA. Results. Theoretical principles of coordination relations are analyzed. A comparison of the legal regulation of managerial relations between LSA and TB CEA in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Local State Administrations" of April 9, 1999 № 586-XIV and the draft Law of Ukraine of October 30, 2020 № 4298. Conclusions. Proposed in the draft Law № 4298 from 30.10.2020 novelties in terms of legal regulation of managerial relations between LSA and TB CEA indicate a change in the essence of the existing coordination relations between them. In our opinion, the managerial relations that will be established between LSA and TB CEA on the basis of this bill will be characterized by both features characteristic of coordination and features characteristic of subordination. It is advisable to take into account the peculiarities of each type of management relations and choose terminology that corresponds to established scientific approaches and reproduces the content of a phenomenon in practice.
