MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT IN THE USA: AN OVERVIEW
Journal Title: Юридичний науковий електронний журнал - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
Currently Ukraine continues to make changes and amendments to the Constitution in order to decentralize the power. These amendments will significantly influence the local government in the country. In this regard, it is important to study the relevant international experience. From this point of view, the particularly interesting is the experience of those countries where local government is barely reformed for a significant number of years, and therefore – which found the optimal system of local government. In Ukraine, the problems of municipal government in the United States of America are extremely scarcely explored. The only author that has complex work on this issue is Doctor of Law, Professor N. V. Mishyna. However, she hasn’t issued new researches on this topic for a relatively long time. Her latest research, which provides information about the municipal government in the USA dates back to 2009. Since that time the author only summarizes the relevant information in the textbooks on the subject «Constitutional (State) Law of Foreign Countries». Currently, the municipal administration in the US is built according to the Anglo-American model of local government. Despite the existence in Ukraine continental model of local government in the process of municipal reform and reform of administrative and territorial structure, appeal to the US experience is very rewarding. For example, can be used quantitative and provisions on administrative-territorial division of the territory. It is also advisable to consider the establishment of specialized local government, not just local government general competence. And the most important is the urgency of drawing the possibility of introducing different legal forms of municipal government in Ukraine, such as the United States of America.
