Regulatory Impact Assessment in the System of Institutes of Lawmaking Process Effi ciency Increase

The article is devoted to the interdisciplinary analysis of the existing institutions for increasing norm-making efficiency, to the definition of organization and legal mechanisms of their relationship. A number of studies, including the one conducted by the author, substantiated the low efficiency of the realization of the transparency principle in conducting anti-corruption expertise, anti-corruption monitoring, and monitoring of the anti-corruption law enforcement. Legal regulation of anti-corruption monitoring in the legislation of the majority of subjects of the Russian Federation comes down to just declarative rules only defining its goals but not the order of conducting. As a result of the analysis the following conclusions have been made: 1) there are serious terminological and methodological differences between the traditional institutions of expertise for legal science and the implemented socio-economic assessment of regulatory impacts; 2) there have been limited formal-legal methods for conducting anti-corruption expert examination and monitoring law enforcement in comparison with the extensive use of sociological and economic methods in assessing the regulatory impacts, which limits the effectiveness of the first two institutions; 3) the above circumstances make an appropriate expansion of the assessment of the need (or lack) for the State interference in not only economic but also in social and political relations; 4) improving information transparency procedures of anti-corruption expertise, anti-corruption monitoring and law enforcement monitoring, formation of interaction mechanisms between the authorities, independent experts, institutions of civil society and business community when all these procedures are conducted, are very important factors for improving investment attractiveness and socio-economic development of Russia.
