Actualization of some constitutional positions in connection with territorial development

For social and economic geography and regional economy of particular interest are two constitutional problems: on self-administration and economic federalism. Self-administration is built from the lower part (a neighbourly community) to the very top (the All-Russian congress of municipal formations). If for a sustainable development of neighbourly communities the dosed proportion of individual and public is necessary, then municipalities exist more or less normally at a certain parity of public and state. Now the moment of truth of territorial development consists in that economic resources of the country in greater degree to displace towards local economy.National republics, administrative territories and regions of Russia are a keylink in the system of economic federalism. They are the steadiest unit of territorial organization of a society. But, as well as in the Soviet years, now the regional governments act in a role of the asking; their initiative, even without going out of frames of the constitutional field, is more often punishable fromthe part of the federal centre. Therefore the power structures of Russia shouldpay special attention to economic incentives of territorial management of subjects of the Federation and municipalities, and also to economic support of localsocial communities. Contractual relations of the regional governments and municipalities with corporate industrial and financial-banking organizations shouldnot be caused by political obligations regarding formation of structures of the government and local self-administration.
