Institute of Joint Management as a Mechanism for Coordination of Public Administration in Russia

The subject of the study is the set of normative legal acts regulating the institution of joint jurisdiction between the Russian Federation and its subjects, as well as the law enforcement practice arising from the implementation of these norms in the system of public administration. The analysis pays special attention to the legal mechanisms for the distribution of powers between the federal center and the subjects of the Federation, the procedures for coordination and cooperation between levels of public authority, and the forms of regional participation in the development and implementation of federal-level decisions. The theoretical and legal foundations and institutional features of the functioning of the joint jurisdiction institution are examined, including issues of terminological uncertainty and legal duplication, as well as the financial and economic aspects that affect the effectiveness of its implementation. The subject also encompasses questions related to the application of the principles of subsidiarity, decentralization, and equality of the subjects of the Federation as a basis for coordinated and sustainable public governance. The methodological foundation of the study consists of systemic and comparative legal methods, as well as methods of formal legal and logical analysis, through which legal acts, judicial practices, and scientific approaches to the regulation of the right to a favorable environment are examined. The scientific novelty of the presented research lies in the comprehensive consideration of legal liability for violations of the right to a favorable environment from the perspective of intersectoral interaction and legal convergence. The author not only systematizes the existing types of liability (civil, administrative, criminal) but also identifies their specifics in relation to environmental offenses, demonstrating the insufficient coherence of the impact mechanisms. The article substantiates the need for normative consolidation of preventive ecological liability aimed at harm prevention rather than solely at compensation. A conclusion is drawn on the necessity to revise approaches to the compensation of environmental damage, emphasizing the restoration of the environment as a primary criterion for effectiveness. Additionally, paths for improving existing legislation are proposed, including the development of a unified environmental code that integrates norms from various branches of law. The research demonstrates the importance of developing legal constructs aimed at ensuring the effective realization of human environmental rights and highlights the role of law as a tool for sustainable development and environmental protection.
