Abstract:

The Constitution of the Russian Federation [1] as well as the democratization of Russian society, which have established new development trends of the state have required fundamental changes in the structure of Executive power and other administrative and legal relations. This also implies a positive improvement in the legal regulation of relations in the field of administrative governance.Currently, the purposes of administrative and legal regulation are to improve the forms and methods of governance, establish and regulate relationships between citizens and state institutions in wich each person should be guaranteed real respect for rights and freedoms, as well as effective protection of these rights and freedoms in cases of violations. The provision of administrative (public) services by Executive authorities is a promising trend for improving public administration in the new conditions. The main advantage of this function is its multipurposeness, which contains both a regulatory and law enforcement aspect; significant potential for contractual regulation of public relations in the context of state power reform; ensuring the processes of possible convergence of public and private law principles in modern public administration; the possibility of a real guarantee of the protection of constitutional human rights of citizens, etc. It should also be taken into account that membership in many international organizations imposes to Russia certain obligations in the field of ensuring the rights of citizens and developing strategies for state policy in various spheres of public life [2, p. 501–507]. At the same time, the involvement of all state Executive bodies in the provision of administrative services, as well as setting tasks for them to reveal, prevent and suppress various types of violations in this area, provides for strengthening the role of these bodies as a managemental part of the state mechanism. It should be noted that providing administrative (management services) is considered by scholars as one of the main and permanent functions of the state. Therefore the importance of developing this issue requires significant efforts from both authorities and scientists who investigate managerial issues in order to improve the mechanism for providing administrative services. Thus in our opinion management services should be considered as the activity of Executive authorities to provide the necessary conditions for citizens and other subjects of administrative legal relations to fully realize their rights and freedoms in the sphere of activities of Executive authorities.
