Конституційна регламентація місцевого самоврядування в Україні

сучасність та перспективи

Abstract

This article analysis the modern processes of the municipal reform in Ukraine. The author compares the current Constitution of Ukraine (Chapter XI ‘Local Self-Government’) with the amendments that were introduced by the President of Ukraine in summer 2014. After article-by-article analysis, the author concludes that the strong sides of the Presidential draft law are connected with the usage of the international and European municipal standards. But this draft law lacks both inner integrity and high-level legal technique, so it was reasonable to call it back from the Parliament (that was done by the President of Ukraine later in 2014).
