FOREIGN COUNTRIES' EXPERIENCE IN THE PROCESS OF LOCAL NORM CREATION

Abstract

ABSTRACT. This thesis analyzes the experience of foreign countries in organizing the process of local norm creation. Based on the practice of Germany, the United Kingdom, Estonia and the United States, it examines the issues of normative powers of local government bodies, public participation, legal control, electronic consultation and ensuring the legality of local normative acts. The thesis substantiates that local norm creation is not only a process of adopting local acts, but also a means of legal regulation at the level closest to the population, expression of territorial interests and implementation of the principle of subsidiarity.
