Abstract
The purpose of the study is the development of theoretical recommendations for a new concept of municipal power and local self-government in the Russian Federation. The objectives of the study are to consider the relationship of the legal foundations of local self-government with the historical forms of local self-government and government, and to study the comparative legal characteristics of conceptual approaches to foreign and domestic models of local self-government. The methodological basis of the research includes analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization, concrete historical, comparative legal, formal legal and statistical methods. Within the framework of the study, attention is focused on the recently published works of Russian and foreign scientists, statistical data are provided. According to the results of the study, modern organizational models of local self-government are formed with consideration to the needs of multi-level public administration, which presupposes the functional involvement of local self-government bodies in the state executive power system and their responsibility for the implementation of public powers. The scientific novelty of the study lies in obtaining theoretical conclusions that a necessary condition for further municipal development in Russia is the creation of an effective mechanism for reconciling the interests of local communities with state interests, the absence of which leads to an excessive strengthening of state or social principles and a violation of a balanced model of local self-government.
Highlights
Difficulties in implementing the constitutional principles of local self-government require to re-examine the choice of the optimal model of local self-government, based on the existing experience of legal regulation, current trends and problems of multi-level public administration
According to the hypothesis put forward by the author, modern organizational models of local self-government are built taking into account the needs of multi-level public administration, which presupposes the functional involvement of local self-government bodies in the state executive power system and their responsibility for the implementation of public powers, and a necessary condition the provision of an effective mechanism for reconciling the interests of local communities with state interests, the absence of which leads to an excessive strengthening of state or social principles and a violation of the balanced model
The results of the study show that Russia has got the experience of local self-government and the functioning of local government bodies in terms of decentralized and centralized government with the traditions of a community-based structure
Summary
Difficulties in implementing the constitutional principles of local self-government require to re-examine the choice of the optimal model of local self-government, based on the existing experience of legal regulation, current trends and problems of multi-level public administration. The change in state policy in the field of local self-government determines the scientific interest in the study of the doctrinal, legal and empirical foundations of the constitutional and legal structure of Russia. In this regard, the works of Babichev and Smirnov [1], Babun [2], Bondar and Dzhagaryan [3], Vasilyev, Leksin [4], Nevinsky [5], Nekrasov [6], Peshin [7], Khabrieva and Klishas [8], Cherkasov [9] and other researchers, whose long-term scientific studies make it possible to give an objective assessment of current developments. According to the hypothesis put forward by the author, modern organizational models of local self-government are built taking into account the needs of multi-level public administration, which presupposes the functional involvement of local self-government bodies in the state executive power system and their responsibility for the implementation of public powers (on the principle of subsidiarity or on the principle of verticalization of power), and a necessary condition the provision of an effective mechanism for reconciling the interests of local communities with state interests, the absence of which leads to an excessive strengthening of state or social principles and a violation of the balanced model
