Lapina M.A., Karpukhin D.V. Scientific and methodological analysis of the problem aspects of systematization of functions and responsibilities of federal executive authorities

Abstract: The research subject is the analysis of the current legislation regulating the legal status of federal executive authorities, and the analysis of the existing approaches to defining their essence, functions and responsibilities. The methodology of systematizing functions and responsibilities will serve as a basis for the development of classification models for the functions and responsibilities of executive authorities and the methodology of their preparation and processing. The need for the classifier of functions and responsibilities of executive authorities is determined by the purposes of optimization of public (municipal) administration in the respective spheres and a qualitative improvement of the procedures of interaction between the state and physical and legal entities. The research methodology is based on the recent achievements of epistemology. The authors apply general scientific and theoretical research methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, and modeling), traditional legal methods (formal-logical), and the methods of specific sociological studies (statistical, expert assessments, etc.), the methods of segmentation, classification, and correlation, and the comparative method. The authors conclude that it is necessary to correlate the departmental functions and the private (specific) responsibilities of executive authorities by means of the correlation method based on the paradigm admitting the universalism of private (specific) functions for the sectoral (departmental) functions of executive authorities. The authors develop the methodology of systematizing the functions and responsibilities of federal executive authorities and the methodology of preparation and processing the classifier of functions and responsibilities of the executive agency for the purpose of optimizing the public (municipal) administration in the respective spheres and a qualitative improvement of the procedures of interaction between the state and physical and legal entities.
