Spiridonov P.E. The Essence and Features of Administrative Enforcement as a Form of Government Coercion

Abstract: The paper examines the essence and features of administrative enforcement as a form of state (government) coercion. Various points of view on the concept, nature and features of state coercion are discussed. Attention is paid to the fact that enforcement as a method of control is inseparably linked to the methods such as persuasion and encouragement. At the same time, these methods are equal to each other and none of them have priorities in terms of their application. The author of the article also focuses on the fact that in government it is impossible to be limited to a strictly defined sequence of application of management techniques.  In the process of writing this article the following methods have been used: hermeneutical approach, systems approach, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparative law method and other methods that are usually used in legal research. It is concluded that  administrative and legal measures are flexible in their application when the same measure can have different goals and objectives, often these are preventive measures, i.e. they are aimed at preventing the occurrence of negative or harmful consequences.
