Volkov A.M. Problem aspects of administrative law and procedure

Abstract: The research subject is the main provisions of administrative law and procedure; the research task is to reveal the problem aspects, which appear in the result of shifting the part of the subject of administrative law into the subject of administrative procedure. The research results can be assessed in the context of the study; they are one of the stages of the subject of administrative procedure understanding. The major part of the subject of administrative law focuses on the issues of work of agencies and organizations, vested with authoritative powers, particularly the work of public administration, i.e. public management. The subject of administrative procedure should be understood as the work of courts – administrative legal proceedings and proceedings on administrative offences. The division of Russian administrative procedure law into two branches – administrative-executive (administrative procedure) law and administrative-judicial law - proves that administrative law is losing the part of its subject, connected with the activity of public administration. The field of application of the research results is determined by the research task and the conclusions about the application of the corresponding definitions - such as public administration, administrative procedure, etc. – in the subjects of administrative law and administrative procedure. The author applies general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, the system method) and special scientific methods (formal legal and comparative legal). The author suggests to interpret administrative procedure as the activity of courts (court procedure). The author notes that the subject of administrative law includes public administration, i.e. the activity of agencies and organizations, vested with authoritative powers. The author admits the disputable character of his conclusions, and plans to continue the research in this sphere.
