of development of local self-management is in creation of barriers to it on the part of the state organs, but not in recognition of this idea by the population. It is the main point of increase from which the healthy branch of local self-management can develop; and to this aspect should be directed the efforts of the legislator [6] .experience evidently shows, that the development at which the state consistently limits independence of local communities, by all means shall come to social disaster, sometimes even to revolution, and to change of the political system. And the more rigid is the mode, the more freedoms (the citizens and local communities) receive or aspire to receive as a result of this revolution. The initial reason of it is absence in the necessary volume of civil freedoms and special powers at territorial collectives creates preconditions for origin and development of the state crisis with probable change of the political system. That is, on the one hand, the state policy in the sphere of local self-management and the character of models of its interaction with the state represents constant change of relative freedom and restrictions, and, on the other hand - local self-management acts as the indispensable condition of the steady development of the democratic state and constitutionalism. The determining factor which resulted modern statehood in Ukraine, as well as in the majority of the postsocialist countries to the deep crisis, it is necessary to recognize ignoring of the civil freedoms, local-territorial interests and absence during the long period of time of the institute of local self-management on its territory. Therefore the all-round recognition by the state of the interests of local communities, their harmonization with the state interests, development of the institute of local self-management should become the priority goal of the state.is necessary to note, that such harmonization of interests is found not only in conditions of positive realization of the municipal power, but also in extraordinary conditions of its realization. We believe that in case of neglect of one of the elements which comprise the system of interests of the municipal power and in the set depict the principle of orient, the system of local self-management, the municipal power, has negative administrative impulses both inside and - as loss of interests, motivations of structural units which make territorial and other generality, and neutralization of their interest in organization of their own ability to live and its intermediate and final results, and on the part of the central power - the public government- as the threat of direct intervention of the state in the activity of local self-management at destabilization of local situation.above-mentioned testifies the great value of local self-management, municipal power in sociological aspect. It is necessary to take into account, that the sphere of the municipal power is formed, acts and is distributed on the lower stages of the society where their functions a concrete person, micro- and mezokollectives of people (labour collective of the enterprise, establishment, organization; local associations of individuals formed on different purposes; subjects of interpersonal dialogue; and the territorial collective, local community) -the people of the certain territory incorporated by the uniform interests of collective character.this purpose the municipal power has system properties: it is formed by the territorial collective out of its members; depicts ,, produces, and protects interests, rights and freedoms of the members of territorial collective and competent powers of the organs formed by it; it possesses structural properties, that is functions from outside as the system of organs of local self-management and organizational - legal forms of activity of the territorial collective; as a result of its functioning the local sphere of social management is formed which coincides with the territorial borders within which the framework of local community [7] acts.the above-mentioned convincingly confirms, that existence of local self-management, its evolution are integrally connected with the problems of the power, the major qualifying characteristics of which is that, first, such power, undoubtedly, is the public power, second, it differs from the public government as the important democratic properties, third, it is the municipal power. Hence, local self-management is an independent system of organization of activity of the local population on the corresponding territory which represents the set of different organs and institutes. This set functions as the uniform complete mechanism, which central, leading part is the local community. It is the form of organization of the public power independent from the state which provides decision of local questions by the local population directly or through the organs and officials of local self-management...
