Abstract

The introduction of large-scale amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation actualizes the discussion on the areas of development of Russian legislation on local selfgovernment. The article examines the social and legal nature of Russian local self-government, substantiates the conclusion about its duality (the level of public power and the institution of civil society), analyzes the place and role of local self-government in the unified system of public authority. The author comes to the conclusion that the goal of further improving the legislation on local self-government should be recognized as an increase in the efficiency of local self-government in two directions: in solving issues of local importance and performing other public functions (operational efficiency), as well as in meeting the request of citizens for direct participation in the management of common deeds (social efficiency). Based on this goal, possible scenarios for the development of legislation on local self-government are analyzed in two aspects: the territorial structure of local self-government and the competence of local self-government.

从俄罗斯联邦宪法修正案看地方自治立法发展的一些领域

对俄罗斯联邦宪法进行大规模修订使关于俄罗斯地方自治立法发展领域的讨论成为现实。本文考察了俄罗斯地方自治的社会性质和法律性质，论证了地方自治的两重性(公权力水平和市民社会制度)，分析了地方自治在统一的公权力体系中的地位和作用。笔者认为，进一步完善地方自治立法的目标应该是从两个方面提高地方自治的效率:一是解决地方重要问题和履行其他公共职能(运作效率)，二是满足公民直接参与公共事务管理的要求(社会效率)。基于这一目标，本文从地方自治的地域结构和地方自治的权限两个方面分析了地方自治立法发展的可能情景。

期刊介绍： Perspectives on Federalism is an Open Access peer-reviewed journal, promoted by the Centre for Studies on Federalism. This initiative follows the Bibliographical Bulletin on Federalism’s success, with an average of 15000 individual visits a month. Perspectives on Federalism aims at becoming a leading journal on the subject, and an open forum for interdisciplinary debate about federalism at all levels of government: sub-national, national, and supra-national at both regional and global levels. Perspectives on Federalism is divided into three sections. Along with essays and review articles, which are common to all academic journal, it will also publish very short notes to provide information and updated comments about political, economic and legal issues in federal states, regional organizations, and international organizations at global level, whenever they are relevant to scholars of federalism. We hope scholars from around the world will contribute to this initiative, and we have provided a simple and immediate way to submit an essay, a review article or a note. Perspectives on Federalism will publish original contributions from different disciplinary viewpoints as the subject of federalism requires. Papers submitted will undergo a process of double blind review before eventually being accepted for publication.
