NEW INITIATIVES IN THE SPHERE OF MODERNIZATION OF FEDERAL RELATIONS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of events, related to the present time modernization of federal relations. Of interest is the fact that in Russia today the processes of both centralization and decentralization of federal relations are developing in parallel. In legal sense, these trends have been embodied in new initiatives in the organization of state power. Trends in the decentralization of federal relations become increasingly clear. There are normative acts, regulating the distribution of authorities between the bodies of state power of the Russian Federation and the bodies of state power of the subjects of the Russian Federation on the basis of the principle of subsidiarity. Meanwhile, the control of the federal center does not weaken. However, still there are problems, related to more detailed regulation of this process, for example, via inserting amendments to article 73 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
