Public Relations in the Field of Entrepreneurial Activity as an Object of Public Law Regulation

The article examines the specifics of the relations that develop in connection with the implementation of entrepreneurial activities from the point of view of public law regulation. The article shows the close connection between the public legal regulation of entrepreneurship and the national interests and goals of socio-economic development of the state enshrined in strategic planning documents. It is proved that “administrative and economic relations” should be recognized as the most accurate term for relations arising as a result of public law regulation of entrepreneurial activity. In the context of the goals of socio-economic development, the concept of administrative and economic relations is clarified, and their structure is disclosed. It is proved that other participants in administrative and economic relations who have a special legal status and are characterized by a specific set of private socio-economic interests include: non-profit organizations that express the interests of small and medium-sized businesses and perform certain publicly significant functions; authors, consumers, and employees. The conclusion is formulated that the role of public authorities is to consolidate the economic activities of different groups of participants in administrative and economic relations around the goals of socio-economic development set out in strategic planning documents by coordinating the private interests inherent in the representatives of each of these groups. This fundamental thesis should determine the content of public law regulation of entrepreneurship and the degree of government interference in the freedom of entrepreneurial activity.
