Forms of public administration

Any form of management is the implementation by the authorities in various ways of concrete practical actions with a view to solving the tasks that confront them. Some of them bear legal responsibility, others - no.

Forms of public administration are determined by those legal regulations, on which the state controls the activities of government bodies. They are enshrined in laws, articles of the Constitution, standards and regulations. Under certain conditions, officials, at their own discretion, but, without going beyond the framework of the law, choose those forms that are most appropriate to the current situation.

This concerns the part of the activities of the authorities that have legal status. But most of their actions have no legal significance, that is, administrative law does not undergo any changes during their implementation. This is the organizational form of activity of the authorities. At the same time, non-legal forms and methods of public administration serve as the basis for carrying out actions with legal significance in the future. And, conversely, these forms of management can arise after the legal.

The actions of officials in power are forms of governance. They should not exceed the limits of their competence. These forms of state regulation are divided into non-legal and legal.

Authorities, as a rule, carry out actions that can be grouped according to certain criteria. The problem of selecting forms of management is not completely solved. But theoretically, nevertheless, it is common to distinguish between four forms of government:

1) Publication of management acts (normative). It involves activities that are aimed at enforcing the law through the establishment of specific rules in the field of regulation. The creation of new acts is connected with the fact that already existing general laws can not cover all spheres of public life.

2) Publication of acts of management of non-normative (individual, administrative). They differ from normative acts in that they terminate, change or establish administrative legal relations. In addition, they are addressed to specific participants in management activities. After a single application of rights and obligations by participants in these relations, the action of individual acts ceases.

And the regulatory management acts, and individual secondary to the law, they are subject to it.

3) Organizing activities of an organizational nature. It is carried out stably, systematically. Their goal is to ensure efficient, clear work of government bodies. Their conduct does not in any way affect the changes in administrative legal relations. Activities to organize management activities are not related to the creation of new laws and regulations, they do not have legal significance. The use of specific forms of activities depends on the characteristics of the objects that need to be managed, on their legal status.

4) Implementation of actions that solve material and technical issues. They are additional in nature. Their purpose is to serve the management process. They create the necessary conditions for the use of other forms of government by the authorities. This includes the preparation of reports, inquiries, the resolution of questions of office work, the conduct of events, the preparation of materials for the creation of laws.

Since the forms of public administration do not have a classification recognized by all jurists, this division should also be considered quite schematic and conditional. There are other types of it. For example, the following forms of public administration:

1) non-legal, when legal acts are not needed for conducting managerial activities;

2) legal forms, when management actions are related to the rules of law.
