Анализ издержек и выгод в публичном праве
The subject-matter of the research is economic analysis in public law. This method evaluates both costs and benefits of the regulatory measures. When assessing the alternatives, the judges in public litigation take into account their side effects. If an economically effective alternative is found, it should be ensured that it imposes a minimal burden on the rightholder or the costs to third parties.The purpose of the research is to argue that the cost-benefits analysis should be limited primarily to the economic field. Otherwise, personal, political, and social rights can be conferred with the properties of goods (commodification).The methodology of research is based on approaches of school “law and economics”. Economic analysis of law makes it possible to construct a scale of constitutional values, albeit not uncontroversial, but universal. This scale offers the important advantage of introducing proportionality for seemingly disparate individual freedoms and public interests. The introduction of material and financial scales, including compensation even for irreparable intangible goods, represents a better solution than the available alternatives.The main results of the research and the scope of their application. The above-mentioned method consists of assessing the costs and benefits both for the right-holders and for achieving the common good. It is necessary to analyse the costs and benefits of the challenged legal provision to individuals. Then, the governmental costs incurred in using alternative means should be reviewed. The public authorities should not incur excessive organisational or financial costs from a legal alternative that is humane to the individual. Due to the objective constraint on public resources, judges take into account future budgetary expenditures.In constitutional adjudication and administrative litigation, cost-benefit analysis is most effective in the economic sphere. It is easier to ensure the measurability of judicial review, usually in monetary or other material terms. The preparatory works, including the financial and economic justification of draft laws or regulations, may serve as an informational source in reviewing the legislative provisions and administrative acts which entail material costs. The cost-benefit analysis is applicable to non-material sphere. Although such costs generated by regulators are often difficult to assess in public law. A cost-benefit analysis is possible even in the political sphere. At the same time the judges usually restrain itself from assessing the political expediency of legislative decisions and administrative actions. Conclusions. There is a danger of economic analysis being abused in public law. The disadvantages of using this methodology include the possible devaluation of values which are essential for democracy. The abstract common good and reducing public expenditure will prevail over individual freedoms. Рассматривается анализ издержек и выгод в публичном праве – междисциплинарный прием, который пока не получил достаточного распространения в российском конституционном и административном судопроизводстве. Утверждается: анализ издержек и выгод должен использоваться лишь субсидиарно, а не заменять формально-логическую методологию; вряд ли стоит применять этот ресурсоемкий прием в простых делах, когда достаточно догматической методологии; в публичном праве анализ издержек и выгод наиболее эффективен в экономической сфере; применение этой методологии в нематериальных областях должно быть ограничено, иначе не исключена коммодификация личных, политических и социальных прав, т. е. наделение их свойствами товаров
Административно-правовое регулирование выбросов парниковых газов в рамках регионального эксперимента
A legal experiment refers to approbation of legislative novelties on a limited scale and covering a limited number of people aiming at assessing effectiveness and usefulness of novelties in order to determine optimal options for future commonly applicable law-making decisions. During the Soviet period, legal experiments were conducted in a systematic manner. The scientific concept of the experiment was in place, including the methodology of conducting the experiment, goal setting, principles of the experimental legal regime, its stages, and results’ evaluation. Today, legal experiments are not regulated. The criteria and principles for conducting legal experiments are formulated mostly for the scientific field. Nevertheless, there are some emerging legal forms where definitions and procedures for conducting experiments are being legally codified. This may be a sign of the emergence of a new direction in the development of the administrative laws. Experiments are conducted in various areas of legal relations, such as economics and finance, culture, environmental and social spheres, digitalization, ets. A recent example of a legal experiment in the environmental sphere is the Law on conducting an experiment on limiting greenhouse gas emissions in some regions of Russia, which was adopted in 2022. The experiment will continue until 2028. It involves introduction of a pilot cap and trade system. Sakhalin region has been chosen for its piloting. Cap and trade system is being introduced for key regional emitters – regional regulated organizations (RRO) in an attempt to achieve carbon neutrality of the Sakhalin Region by 2025. The analysis of the pilot regulatory framework for the Sakhalin experiment has led to the following conclusions:– the experiment is based on a combination of administrative and civil law norms; – generally speaking, the pilot regulatory framework in the Sakhalin Region meets the main criteria for conducting the experiment. However, lack of a clear system for evaluating its results and uncertainty regarding its further application in the country are significant drawbacks;– the use of quotas as one of the administrative and legal methods of regulation is being tested. A comprehensive experiment could involve testing other methods in order to identify the most effective approach for greenhouse gas emissions’ reduction. The option of paying a fixed amount (1000 rubles) for exceeding the quota represents a quasi-tax, which can be seen as a separate regulatory method;– the state support measures are a counterweight of the additional financial burden put on the RRO and should be specified is dedicated normative acts. Substantial support measures may potentially allow for replacement of a special coefficient that reflects the amount of the tax payed by RRO used in the quota calculation methodology and thus help to ensure harmonization with foreign analogues.Проанализированы характеристики экспериментального правового режима в России на современном этапе и особенности административно-правового регулирования экспериментального правового режима по ограничению выбросов парниковых газов в Сахалинской области, включающего квотирование выбросов парниковых газов и плату за превышение квот. Сделаны выводы об отсутствии универсального подхода к формированию экспериментальных правовых норм в России, что ограничивает эффективность эксперимента как важного метода правотворчества, и о том, что отличительной особенностью правовой конструкции экспериментального регулирования выбросов парниковых газов является сочетание норм административного и гражданского права. Предложены показатели оценки результата эксперимента, которые пока отсутствуют. Методологическую основу исследования составил общенаучный и экспериментальный метод с элементами исторического метода
Приложения к исковому заявлению: между требовательностью и избыточной снисходительностью
Subject of the research. The article deals with the problems of access to court and violation of the adversarial principle in case of unreasonable decision by the court to leave the claim without movement. The purpose of the research: to determine the nature of possible violations of the principles of access to justice and competitiveness at the time of filing a claim and to identify a way to eliminate violations. Research methods: formal-legal method, anal-ysis, synthesis, formal-logical method.The main results. The procedural and legal consequences of noncompliance with the requirements for a statement of claim is the issuance by the court of a decision to leave the statement without movement, in which it indicates the grounds for this procedural action and the period during which the plaintiff must eliminate the circumstances that served as the basis for leaving the statement of claim statements without movement (part 1 of article 136 of the Civil Рrocedure Code of the Russian Federation). The problem is that an appeal against this ruling is not provided. In cases where the shortcoming of the submitted application is the absence of evidence in the annex to it, which is impossible for the applicant to obtain, the applicant will not be able to comply with the court order or appeal against the ruling issued by the court. In fact, the applicant is deprived of access to the court. In this situation, the plaintiff cannot count on any court assistance in obtaining (reclaiming) the necessary evidence: the court provides assistance in collecting evidence only at the stage of preparing the case for trial, i.e. after the case has been opened. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation did not see any problems in this situation, because it is impossible to independently appeal the ruling of a court of general jurisdiction on leaving the statement of claim without movement, however, failure to comply with the requirements specified in it is the basis for issuing a ruling on the return of the statement of claim, against which a private complaint can be filed. The paradoxical nature of such a statement that leaving the statement of claim without movement does not prevent the further movement of the case. In our opinion, the problem under discussion would be solved much easier if Article 136 of the Civil Рrocedure Code of the Russian Federation had provided for the obligation of the court to accept the statement of claim, that is, to initiate a civil case after the deadline set by the court for the presentation of evidence, provided that the applicant justifies the impossibility of obtaining requested documents for reasons beyond his control. Then it would be possible for him to receive the assistance provided by law from the side of the court. Otherwise, the person may lose access to the court. Conclusions. The court has the right to point out the shortcomings of the statement of claim, which is carried out by issuing a ruling on leaving the statement of claim without movement, indicating the deadlines for execution. If the plaintiff fails to submit the requested evidence within the time limit set by the court, the court returns the claim to the plaintiff. In this moment the balance in the implementation of the principles of competitiveness and judicial activity is violated. Therefore, it is proposed in this situation to accept the statement of claim after the expiration of the period appointed by the court for the provision of evidence, and to assist the plaintiff in obtaining it.Рассматривается один из аспектов выполнения сторонами обязанностей по доказыванию: обязанность истца сопроводить свое исковое заявление доказательствами, подтверждающими обстоятельства, на которых истец основывает свои требования. Если исковое заявление подано в суд без соблюдения данных требований, суд выносит определение об оставлении заявления без движения, в котором указывает конкретные недостатки заявления и срок, в течение которого истец должен их устранить. Обжалование данного определения в настоящее время не предусмотрено. Если указанные в определении недостатки не будут устранены в установленный срок, то суд возвращает исковое заявление и прилагаемые к нему документы. Однако «недостатком» поданного заявления может быть отсутствие доказательства, получить которое самостоятельно заявитель не может. Воспользоваться помощью суда в истребовании доказательств он сможет только на стадии подготовки дела к судебному разбирательству, т. е. после принятия заявления к производству. Таким образом, заявитель попадает в ловушку, и подобная ситуация обозначает две проблемы: проблему доступа к суду и проблему нарушения принципа состязательности
Проблемы достижения правовой эффективности при рассмотрении групповых исков
The paper examines the procedure for considering a class action in the Russian civil procedure in order to identify obstacles to the effective application of this institution. In developed foreign legal orders, group proceedings are a popular socially significant jurisdictional procedure for considering a large number of the same type of requirements, which allows optimizing the burden on the judicial system, ensuring the achievement of legal certainty and the effectiveness of judicial protection. As a result of the reform of group production, an institution sui generis appeared, which differs in many respects from foreign analogues. Given that group proceedings in Russia are still not in demand, the authors has identified obstacles to the intensification of this procedure, many of which indicate a superficial regulation of the procedural form.The study used comparative legal, formal logical and systemic structural methods, which made it possible to give a comprehensive assessment of the identified gaps in the legal regulation of group proceedings in Russian civil, commercial and administrative litigation. The first of the identified problems is related to the lack of regulatory rules for certification of a group of persons. To initiate proceedings on a class action, it is necessary to join a significant number of co-plaintiffs, whose claims are based on homogeneous legal and factual circumstances. However Russian procedural codes do not regulate the criteria by which certification of a group should be carried out, and also do not establish rules for accepting a court ruling on preparing a case for trial, allowing members to subsequently authorize. It is noted that for effective group proceedings it is necessary to issue an appropriate definition, which would define the criteria for the homogeneity of the grounds for claims and the method of protecting the violated right chosen by the applicant. The law should directly provide for the possibility of appealing against such a judicial act. Also, for the purposes of joining the requirements to protect the interests of a group of persons, it is proposed to publish a notice on the initiation of proceedings not only on the websites of the court and the defendant, but also in the official media.The problems of implementing the qualities of the legal force of a court decision on a class action, such as exclusivity and prejudice, are also identified, since the law allows challenging the circumstances established when considering a class action when considering a personal claim of a member of a class who has not joined a class action in the future.Исследуются правила группового производства в российском цивилистическом процессе. Выявлены пробелы, препятствующие достижению правовой эффективности при рассмотрении коллективных исков, предложены способы преодоления соответствующих лакун. Сделаны выводы о необходимости нормативной регламентации процедуры сертификации группы лиц и вынесения судом соответствующего определения на стадии подготовки дела к судебному разбирательству, и необходимости применения единого средства массовой информации и сайта суда, рассматривающего дела, а также ресурсов электронного судопроизводства, применяемых в цивилистическом процессе в целях эффективного формирования состава участников группы лиц. Выявлено несовершенство правового регулирования качеств преюдициальности решения суда по групповому иску, ограничивающее начала состязательности и равноправия при рассмотрении личных исков в последующем
Местное самоуправление в системе российской государственности: проблемы и перспективы
Essay. The subject of this research is to provide an elaborate analysis of current municipal reform in the RF and assess its impact on the self-government place, the role and development trends within the system of the Russian statehood. This paper aims either prove or disprove a hypothesis about the impact of adopted legal regulations on local self-government in the RF in view of the amendments to the RF Constitution, and make a contribution to scientific understanding of this issue.Methodology. The research methodology is built by combining such methods of scientific knowledge as analysis (to study normative legal acts on the research topic), synthesis (to analyse theoretical sources and make generalizations), comparative legal method (to study and compare legal norms), logical method (to identify the peculiarities of the research object), system-structural approach (to define the role of local self-government in the Russian statehood), the method of legal hermeneutics (to provide an interpretation of legal documents) and the synergistic method which allowed to analyse the system of local government in cooperation with state authorities.Results. Local self-government shall be recognized as the basis of a democratic regime and present-day Russian statehood. The adoption of the 1993 Constitution resulted in numerous normative acts which regulate the system of local self-government, including The Federal Law of October 6, 2003 No. 131-FZ “On the General Principles of Local Self-Government Organization in the Russian Federation”. However, regular changes to this law regarding local self-government have raised a number of concerns about uncertainty and contradictions in the legal system. Thus, along with positive effects of ongoing reforms, there are some negative trends including current tightening of local self-government officials’ liability in Russia as well as the increasing gap between the population and local self-government, uncertainty of legal solutions and enforcement practice. Members of the expert community, municipalities and practitioners have high hopes for the new legal framework in the field of local self-government, which is being developed following the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020. As a result, strengthening and expansion of local self-government powers are expected, which will increase citizens’ involvement in resolving issues of local importance. However, draft law No. 40361-8 on local self-government submitted to the State Duma on December 16, 2021, provides for the liquidation of the settlement level and the reduction in the number of lower-level local self-government bodies. As a result, the gap between the population and local self-government bodies has highly increased. In addition, the draft law strengthened responsibility of the heads of municipalities to the highest officials of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, which implies more dependence of lower-level authorities on the state.Conclusion. Legislation is rapidly adjusting to the existing realities rather than establishing a legal basis for local self-government development. In order to restore the essence of local self-government, deformed as a result of systematic changes in the legal basis of local self-government, it is necessary to improve the submitted bill, strengthening local self-government as a factor in the sustainable development of a democratic Russian state.В связи с проводимой в Российской Федерации муниципальной реформой, затрагивающей основы местного самоуправления, проводится анализ места и роли местного самоуправления в системе российской государственности, выявляются существующие проблемы, препятствующие развитию местного самоуправления как демократического института, прогнозируется дальнейшая судьба местного самоуправления в условиях формирования нового законодательства, даются предложения совершенствованию правовой базы в сфере местного самоуправления
ОЭСР и деофшоризация карликовых государств Европы
The article is devoted to studying the issue of the formation of the international legal regulation of the activities of so-called offshore zones – special jurisdictions that specialize in providing financial services to non-residents in conditions of low or zero taxation, stability and confidentiality. Since the late 1990s, the most successful anti-offshore policy has been conducted (in close cooperation with the G20 states) by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which has begun to actively use both organizational and international legal methods in its activities. The most successful examples include the OECD adopting the International Standards for the Exchange of Tax Information (Tax Information Exchange Agreements) in 2009, the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Program in 2013 (which has become its most significant and successful initiative), the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement in 2014, as well as the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting in 2016, and others.However, in Europe the OECD was forced to face a situation where not only member states or specific territories that are in one form or another directly dependent on said states served as offshore zones, but also small (micro) sovereign states that were not its members. The microstates of Europe ended up resisting the OECD's anti-offshore activities for quite a while, since the high profitability of the offshore business made these states accustomed to getting “easy” money, and their population – to the high standard of living, which was largely provided for by these funds. The conducted research allowed the author to draw the conclusion that multiple stages can be singled out in this confrontation, during which the microstates of Europe, somewhat successful at first, were eventually forced to cooperate with the OECD and officially accept the rules the latter, as well as the mechanisms of interstate tax control it introduced. To a large extent, this stemmed from the fact that the microstates feared the G20 countries would levy sanctions against them, as well as because some of the microstates of Europe, in light of the instability of the world financial and economic system, were looking for ways to access the European market by obtaining the status of associated EU members. Nonetheless, while formally adhering to the OECD requirements, the microstates of Europe are still attempting to provide offshore services to nonresidents by transforming and significantly complicating the financial schemes used for such purposes. General scientific methods, the technic method, the concrete-historical and the historicalgenetic methods, as well as the formal-dogmatic and the systemic approaches were used within the framework of the study.Offshores and the settlement of cross-border tax relations is one of the most vital economic problems of our time, yet no fundamental scientific research on the international relations of the OECD and the microstates of Europe has yet been carried out.Выявляются причины, побудившие карликовые государства Европы, не являющиеся членами Организации экономического сотрудничества и развития (ОЭСР), к активному взаимодействию с ней в вопросах ликвидации фактически существовавших на их территориях офшорных зон. Устанавливаются места и роли европейских карликовых государств в качестве налоговых убежищ в международных экономических отношениях, выявляются механизмы, задействованные на международной арене для борьбы с уклонением от уплаты налогов. В задачи исследования входило рассмотрение динамики (становление, изменение и развитие) отношений между ОЭСР и указанными государствами, а также определение условий, влиявших и влияющих на стратегию поведения этой международной экономической организации и карликовых государств Европы в отношении друг друга. Как в отечественной, так и зарубежной доктрине имеется достаточно большой массив научных исследований, посвященных борьбе с офшорами и деятельности ОЭСР в этом направлении, однако научных работ по противостоянию в вопросе ухода от уплаты налогов между этой организацией и не просто офшорными зонами, а пусть и карликовыми, но суверенными европейскими государствами, причем не являющимися членами Европейского Союза и самой ОЭСР, крайне мало, что и предопределило востребованность и актуальность настоящей статьи. В результате проведенного исследования делается вывод о том, что в рамках отношений карликовых государств Европы и ОЭСР в вопросах международной борьбы с уклонением от уплаты налогов можно выделить три этапа, и если в начале этой борьбы рассматриваемые государства имели некоторый успех, в итоге под воздействием ряда факторов (мировой финансово-экономический кризис 2008–2009 гг., наличие у этих государств «особых отношений» с их соседями, учреждение Глобального форума по транспарентности и обмену информацией для целей налогообложения, принятие международных актов, направленных на борьбу с офшорами, и др.) они были вынуждены пойти на сотрудничество с ОЭСР и принять предписанные ею правила, а также установленные ею механизмы межгосударственного контроля в налоговой сфере
Публичная администрация в Российской Федерации как субъект административного процесса
The subject. Doctrinal approaches that reveal the place and role of public authorities, as well as organizations performing the functions of these authorities in the administrative process carried out in the Russian Federation, the principles and norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, administrative procedural legislation that form the legal basis of the administrative process in Russia.The purpose of the article is scientific substantiation of the integration of non-judicial bodies carrying out the administrative procedure into a special subsystem of public power, called public administration in the Russian Federation.The methodology. Formal logical and dialectical methods as well as private scientific methods such as method of interpretation of legal norms, method of comparative jurisprudence were used.The main results, scope of application. The article reveals the scientifically based content of the integrative approach to understanding the administrative process in contemporary Russia, taking into account the norms of the Russian Constitution and the analysis of existing doctrinal developments of administrative scientists. The article substantiates the structure of the administrative procedural legislation of the Russian Federation ant it’s constituent entities, which includes the judicial administrative process and the executive (non-judicial) administrative process implemented by the public administration (executive authorities, local self-government bodies, other administrative and public bodies). Administrativeindicating legal norms are distinguished, the analysis of which allows us to reveal the content, form, structure of the judicial administrative process and the executive (extra-judicial) administrative process, as well as to establish an integrative relationship between them with the help of such special categories as “judicial administrative case”, “extra-judicial administrative case”, “administrative proceedings”, “administrative proceedings”. A number of key proposals are put forward to systematize the judicial administrative process and the executive (extrajudicial) administrative process in Russia on the basis of developed scientific positions. The article reveals the question of a scientifically based theory for understanding the administrative and public functions of public administration, as well as the system and structure of public administration in modern Russia.Conclusions. The presented integrative approach to understanding the administrative process and its differentiated systematization for the judicial administrative process and the executive (non-judicial) administrative process are the only true way to develop the Russian model of administrative process. The question of the need to systematize the administrative and public functions implemented by the public administration is raised. It is proposed to develop and adopt a federal law “On Public Administration in the Russian Federation”, the authors substantiate the content of the structure of this law.Раскрывается научно-обоснованное содержание интегративного подхода к пониманию административного процесса в современной России с учетом норм Конституции РФ и анализа существующих доктринальных разработок ученых-административистов. Обосновывается структура административно-процессуального законодательства Российской Федерации и ее субъектов, включающая в себя судебный административный процесс и исполнительный (внесудебный) административный процесс, реализуемый публичной администрацией (органами исполнительной власти, органами местного самоуправления, иными административно-публичными органами). Выделяются административно-индицирующие правовые нормы, анализ которых позволяет раскрыть содержание, форму, структуру судебного административного процесса и исполнительного (внесудебного) административного процесса, а также установить интегративную взаимосвязь между ними при помощи таких специальных категорий, как «судебное административное дело», «внесудебное административное дело», «административное судопроизводство», «административное производство». Раскрываются научно обоснованные подходы к пониманию административно-публичных функций публичной администрации, а также системы и структуры публичной администрации в современной России. Поднимается вопрос о необходимости систематизации административно-публичных функций, реализуемых публичной администрацией. Предлагается разработать и принять Федеральный закон «О публичной администрации в Российской Федерации», а также раскрывается его структура. Делается вывод о том, что представленный интегративный подход к пониманию административного процесса – единственно верный путь развития российской модели административного процесса
Волостное управление по Учреждению для управления Сибирских губерний 1822 г. (К 250-летию со дня рождения М.М. Сперанского)
The subject. Many shortcomings in the current state of local government and self-government systems are that in the process of forming the institutions of Russian public power, there were not evolutionary qualitative changes, but, on the contrary, there were processes of quantitative complication of mechanisms and institutions for the exercise of public power, making the role of the people in administrative processes impossible or insignificant.The experience of pre-revolutionary Siberian local self-government is a proven resource in historical practice for improving the organization of local government, as well as the mechanism of public administration, which was prepared on local, Siberian soil, and was not copied from the socio-political systems of foreign countries.The purpose of the article is to identify principles and features of the peasant self-government in Siberia laid down by the reform of the outstanding Russian statesman Michael Speransky.The theoretical and methodological basis of the research are the categories and principles of materialistic dialectics, formal-logical, systemic, comparative-legal and formal-legal methods.The main results. The conditions of life and traditions of self-governing peasant communities in Siberia made it possible for a very long period, up to the revolutionary upheavals of 1917, to find a solution that freed the crown government from the costs of the lower level of local government and its performance of the functions of administration and court in the Siberian village.Conclusions. Peasant self-government was endowed with state powers and included in the mechanism of state power according to the reform of Michael Speransky.Рассматривается организация крестьянского самоуправления в Сибири согласно реформе выдающегося российского государственного деятеля М.М. Сперанского. Делается вывод, что крестьянское самоуправление наделялось государственными властными полномочиями и включалось в механизм государственной власти. Отмечается, что условия быта и традиции самоуправленческих общин крестьян в Сибири позволили на очень долгий период, вплоть до революционных потрясений 1917 г., найти решение, которое освободило коронную власть от затрат на низовое звено местного управления и выполнения им функций администрации и суда в сибирской деревне
Наукоград как мунициальное образование: проблемы правового регулирования
The subject of this study is the current municipal reform in the Russian Federation and an assessment of its impact on the legal status of science cities.The purpose of the article is to determine the theoretical approaches and practice of legislative regulation of the legal status of science towns, prospects for modern and future legal regulation of the peculiarities of local self-government in such a territory as a science city. The main hypothesis is that the blank method of regulating the peculiarities of local selfgovernment in science cities, perceived by the federal legislator, does not achieve its goal, which obviously requires a revision of approaches to legislative regulation of the status of such a special territory as a science city.The authors used both general research methods, including methods of analysis and synthesis, and industry methods, including the formal legal method.The main results. The authors note the inconsistency and inconsistency of the legislative regulation of the legal, organizational, economic and social foundations of science cities and the peculiarities of the implementation of local self-government in them. Foreign experience in the formation of analogues of Russian science cities demonstrates that, firstly, the creation and development of technopolises contributes to the formation of the most optimal forms of interaction between science and production. Secondly, foreign technopolises are usually formed at research centers and universities, without having a strict link to the territorial foundations of the functioning of municipalities.The authors claim that the science cities of the Russian Federation do not have a constitutional and legal status and are neither the subject of study of such a branch of Russian law as constitutional law, nor the subject of regulation of constitutional legislation. At the moment, the legal status of a science city in the Russian Federation has a dual nature: on the one hand, a science city is a municipal entity with the status of an urban district; on the other hand, it is a territory within which there is a scientific and production complex. At the same time, these two sides of the legal status of a science city in the Russian Federation are poorly interconnected at the level of regulatory regulation. It seems that a science city as a territory with a scientific and industrial complex obviously has a different legal nature than a science city – an urban district, as a territory within which the population and (or) local self-government bodies resolve issues of local importance.Conclusions. It is important to determine at the level of federal authorities the need for further consolidation of the status of municipalities or other legal status of the territory of a science city, which includes high-tech enterprises with a significant concentration of human and material scientific and technical resources, the use of which is aimed at the implementation of science and state scientific and technical policy. If the link "science city – municipal entity" is recognized as necessary and fundamental in the future, taking into account the provisions of Articles 12 and 132 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to establish, firstly, the legal features of the implementation of local self-government in science cities, and secondly, the basic principles of interaction of local self-government of science cities with public authorities as the solution of issues of local importance in the interests of the population living in the territory of the science city, and the forms and order of participation of the organization.Дается анализ отдельных аспектов современного и будущего правового регулирования особенностей осуществления местного самоуправления на такой территории, как наукоград. Исследуется содержание федеральных законов и иных нормативных правовых актов, определяющих формирование правовой основы организации и функционирования особой категории муниципальных образований – наукоградов. Через определение проблем законодательства о наукоградах России в ходе реализации реформы местного самоуправления делается вывод о необходимости отказа от бланкетного способа регулирования особенностей осуществления местного самоуправления в наукоградах и предлагаются возможные пути оперативного совершенствования существующего механизма правового регулирования статуса наукограда
Финансовое право и финансовая наука в России и Чешской Республике (сравнительно-правовое исследование)
The methodology. Comparative legal, historical and analytical scientific methods were used. The main results, scope of application. Formation of financial-legal theory in both countries took place under the circumstances of political changes. In relation to the Czechoslovak Republic, the attention is focused on the period from the formation of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 to the formation of the Czech Republic in 1993, and the main emphasis is made on the period of the 21st century. Periodization of financial law and financial science, and also the system of financial law considers the teaching of financial law and financial science at the Faculty of Law, Charles University. The study also characterizes the process of development of financial law and financial science in pre-revolutionary Russia, highlights the Soviet period of development of financial law, focuses on the problems of development of modern financial law. Periodization of financial law, as well as the system of financial law, are presented from the perspective of teaching of the subject of financial law at the faculties of law. The authors suppose that the modern system of financial law and financial science has retained the original division into two parts, general and specific. All sub-branches of the special part of financial law may be divided into three main blocks: (1) sub-branches of the fiscal part of financial law; (2) sub-branches of the non-fiscal part of financial law; common sub-branches of the non-fiscal part of financial law.Conclusions. The hypothesis about the unity of the principles of financial law and financial science, and public finance as the main category, as well as about the independence of this branch of public law was confirmed during the study. Due to the growing volume of legal regulation in both countries, the historical division of the financial law system is not enough, there is an extensive fragmentation of division in the financial law system. We are observing the emergence of new sub-branches, which are likely to tend to the formation of new branches.Предметом исследования являются процессы развития финансового права и финансовой науки в России и Чехии. Формирование финансово-правовой теории в обеих странах происходило в условиях перемен. Исследуемый период в Чехословацкой Республике составляет время от ее образования в 1918 г. и до образования Чешской Республики в 1993 г., в частности, акцент делается на периоде XXI в. Периодизация финансового права и финансовой науки, а также система финансового права понимаются с учетом преподавания финансового права и финансовых наук на юридическом факультете Карлова университета. Также дается характеристика процессу развития финансового права и финансовой науки в дореволюционной России, освещвется советский период развития финансового права, делается акцент на проблемах развития современного финансового права. Периодизация финансового права, а также система финансового права представляются сквозь призму преподавания дисциплины финансового права на юридических факультетах российских высших учебных заведений. Цель исследования определяется в установлении общего и различного в развитии финансово-правовой доктрины обеих стран, определении современных тенденций в формировании как отрасли публичного права и, соответственно, научной и учебной дисциплины. В ходе исследования использованы сравнительно-правовой, исторический и аналитический научные методы. Гипотеза о единстве начал финансового права и финансовой науки и публичных финансах как основной категории, а также о самостоятельности и независимости этой отрасли публичного права нашли свое подтверждение в ходе исследования и изложены в качестве выводо
