Administrative process and administrative proceedings: Problems of correlation and legal regulation

The paper analyses the problems of correlation between the concepts of “administrative process” and “administrative proceedings” by conceptual approaches analysis in the formation of a modern branch of administrative-procedural law. The author examines administrative proceedings in the form of an independent procedural-legal form (structure), which is part of the system of administrative process, and that has its own content and structure. Administrative proceedings, as a procedural-legal construction, in general methodological approach, represents two parts: regulatory (non-jurisdictional) and protective (law enforcement, jurisdictional). Each of the parts represents homogeneous administrative procedures that have their own characteristics. To substantiate the need for legal regulation, the author proposes to form a modern doctrine of administrative procedure law, simultaneous adoption of laws “On administrative procedures” and “On administrative proceedings”.
