ON SOME ASPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF RUSSIAN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW AT THE PRESENT STAGE

Introduction: the article explores the issue of development of administrative law in the context of political and social changes in Russia. Materials and Methods: the article analyses the development of Russian administrative law in the context of political, economic and social change, and the effect of such change on the subject matter of administrative law, which leads to the following results: Results: Russian administrative law is being reformed with regard to the present day challenges and the international experience of legal regulation. However, modernisation of administrative law must be based on the foundations formed in the earlier years. Changes in the scope of social relations governed by administrative law must be justified and well-founded. Emphasis on the development of administrative procedural law does not exclude further development of the substantive part thereof, for instance, the institution of administrative liability. Legislative amendments must be preceded by elaboration of the “new” administrative law concept. Discussion and Conclusions: Changes in the structure and content of the areas of law occur under the influence of political, economic and social changes. Administrative law as an area of law, an area of legislation and of legal studies, is no exception. However, monographs and textbooks do not pay sufficient attention to the fact that at the present stage of development, administrative law possesses not only a managerial, but also regulatory function, with the latter being not only significant in scope but also quite material in importance. Undoubtedly, this should affect the understanding of the essence and the subject matter of administrative law. At the same time, any change in the system of this area of law, be it extension or narrowing, should have both an academic and practical foundation and work towards increasing the efficiency of legal regulation. This goal must also be served by the much-needed partial modernisation of the administrative liability institution. Therefore, actualisation of approaches towards institutions forming the subject matter of administrative law appears to be one of the most important scholarly tasks at this time.
