Abstract

The article considers the rule-making powers of new public and legal institutions in the Russian Federation, i.e., federal territories as exemplified by the Sirius federal territory. The possibility of creating federal territories is a procedural innovation in Russian law but some foreign legal systems have already enshrined it. Thus, it is appropriate to study the experience of other countries in this field. The study aims at determining the specific rule-making competence of public authorities in federal territory. The research objective is to analyze a new mechanism for implementing the rule-making competence of public authorities developed in coordination with the Russian government. The US and Russian legal orders were assessed comparatively and a content analysis of new Russian laws on federal territories and the doctrines on the competency-based method in state formation and management. The authors have concluded that the powers of public authorities in a federal territory have two levels. One of them is inherent like such powers, and the other has a discretionary and fictitious nature‎.
