Lapina M.A., Karpukhin D.V. Integrated Environmental Legal Categories as a Factor of Optimizing Public Administration in the Russian Federation

Abstract: The research investigates integrated environmental legal categories as a factor to optimize public administration. Environmental relations should occupy an important place among the factors optimizing public administration. In fact, they represent a very complex symbiosis reflecting closely intertwined interests of different social groups, communities and society as a whole. The environmental law has developed specific scientific and methodological categorical apparatus which from the authors’ point of view can be successfully adapted in conditions of systemic transformation of management processes in Russian society. In order to assess the impact of environmental categories on economic relations, the authors use the method of system analysis. The authors conclude that the conceptual categories of "ecologization", "ecological interest" and "ecological compromise" are dualistic in nature i.e. they combine formal legal and prudential components and can, therefore, act as specific regulators of social relations in social economic sphere of public administration.
