Lapshina A.I. On the issue of unification of legal regulation of public chambers' activities in Russian regions

Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of reasons for the necessity of unification of legal regulation of public chambers’ activities in Russian regions. The author analyzes the problem of use of contradictory approaches to the regulation of legal status of public chambers by regional legislators. The author argues that the main differences lie in the form of public chambers creation, the ways of their structure formation, particularly in determining of the persons whose representatives can be the members of chambers, and also in an unequal scope of authorities. Ultimately different conditions are created for the activities of public chambers in Russian regions. The author uses the theoretical, the general philosophical methods, and also the traditional juridical methods (formal-logical), and the methods which are used in special sociological research (expert assessments and others). On the basis of regional legal acts analysis the author comes to a conclusion about the existence of differences in the possibilities of influence of public chambers on public authority. Therefore the author offers to develop and adopt a common federal law on the basic principles of organization of activity of regional public chambers.
