Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to the Definition of Legal Norms Aimed to Regulate Relations in the Field of Administrative-Territorial Structure and Territorial Organization of Local Self Government

In modern legal literature quite a large number of papers are devoted to the problems of legal regulation in which legal scholars try to improve the texts of normative legal acts. However, most of the problems in this area occur for another reason. They occur because of inconsistency of legal norms with regard to the relations that they are supposed to regulate. The paper not only attempts to present a different view on the process of lawmaking. It also suggests some ways to improve the procedure for creating normative legal acts on the basis of the theory of the balance between subjects of law. The article focuses on the relations that develop with regard to the territory as the most obvious physically expressed standing area determining relations between people. The paper has applied the main provisions of the previously developed theory of correlation of subjects of law in the framework of which the relations between different participants of legal relations concerning a certain territory are being analyzed. In addition, the author investigates the problems of the current legal regulation and the practice of implementation of legal relations. The modern legal doctrine has been analyzed in the context of the issue under consideration. The whole set of the presented approaches allowed the author to build logically more correct, in contrast to the existing, procedure for creating the rules of law concerning the territory. As the result of the study, the author suggests using new approaches to law-making processes on the basis of the identified problems of the balance between legal norms and relations that they are expected to regulate. The paper also describes the methodology of creating lawmaking and contains a case study of transformation of the existing normative legal regulation in Sevastopol.
