Interaction Between Representative and Executive Bodies of Local Self-Government

Abstract

Introduction: In the work, the author examines the representative and executive body at the local level, and provides an understanding of the formation of these bodies. The mechanism of election and appointment of senior officials of these bodies is considered, and the typology of management systems is given in accordance with different methods of election and appointment. These legal aspects are necessary to identify the interaction between the two branches of government in local government.

Methodology and materials: The work carries out a chronological analysis in the framework of comparing different concepts, typologies and opinions of scientists, and a prospective analysis is also carried out to identify the possibility of optimizing the sphere of interaction between local governments in order to achieve goals and objectives more effectively. A systematic analysis of legislation, federal laws and laws of the subject of the Russian Federation was also carried out in order to determine the powers of the head of the municipality and the head of the local administration of the municipality.

The results of the study: The author explores the regulatory framework of local self-government, the differences and similarities in the ways of appointing and electing governing bodies, presents a typology of governance, and also raises the issue of problems of interaction between representative and executive authorities at the local level.

Conclusion: Local self-government acts as a buffer between the population and public authorities, while at the local level there is a separation of powers into representative and executive. It is determined that at the legislative level in the Russian Federation, the mechanism of interaction between the two local governments is not fixed, which leads to a lack of integrity of the work of the municipality. It is revealed that it is necessary to establish clear forms of interaction between the municipal council and the local administration, as well as to introduce control over the execution of issues of local importance from the municipal council to the local administration.
