Current Vectors of Local Self-Government Development in Line with the People’ s Responsible Delegation of Power

In the context of the constitutional and legal concept of responsible delegation of power by the people developed by the author, the paper examines a number of theoretical and practical issues relevant to the current stage of development of the local level of the uniform system of public power in Russia. The author highlights the following provisions focused on their practical implementation:1) In the nearest future, it is possible to consider the development of new conceptual documents initiated by the Russian Federation and containing international standards in the field of organization and implementation of local self-government based on the original Russian experience. This can contribute to the entry of our country into the position of international leadership in the field of establishing appropriate legal standards;2) Strategic turn from local self-government focusing mainly on issues of local importance and local tasks to their organic integration into a single, effectively working mechanism implemented to achieve national development goals throughout the country and promoting national interests seems to be timely, relevant and significant in the doctrinal and normative contexts;3) A modern strategy for the development of local self-government should include a wide range of provisions involving reliance on local communities cohesion and consolidation of their efforts for responsible participation in solving local and national tasks; in this vein, an understanding of the category «local community» should develop;4) Systemic development of the personnel potential of the municipal service is particularly relevant, including incentive mechanisms that facilitate recruitment of qualified personnel to local self-government bodies.The author makes a number of specific proposals corresponding to the vectors under consideration.
