Methodological foundations for the study of territorial public self-government by Evgeniy V. Bulakh

“…This is due to the lack of a clear theoretical understanding of the content of various forms of local self-government (except for administrative, with the participation of local authorities); the problem of the practical implementation of the right of citizens to directly resolve issues of local importance requires new scientific data. Using methods of generalization, systemic, structural-functional, legal and comparative analysis, this form of self-organization can be considered as the main resource for revitalizing municipal public-power relations and a tool for implementing the expected local self-government reforms. …”
