CULTURE OF GOVERNANCE AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLE OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF RUSSIA)

Abstract

The constitutional principle of the sovereignty of the people is

enshrined in the constitutions of democratic states as the basis of the

democratic structure of society and the state. The problem of

management culture is not sufficiently developed in the science (theory)

of management. Although the scientific literature notes the complex

nature of the concept of management culture, often in its definition, the

emphasis is on ethics and management aesthetics. Apparently, the

culture of governance in society (the culture of public administration,

in particular) presupposes, first of all, the consistent fulfillment of all

the requirements formulated by the science (theory) of management, or

the content, process, dynamics and statics of management as a special

kind of human activity. The author of the paper, noting the complex

nature of the management culture, emphasizes the special importance

of fulfilling the requirements of this science, which reflected in the

principles and laws of governance, expressing the essential aspects of

management activity. In this regard, as an essentially important

manifestation of the culture of management, the paper analyzes the

problems of implementing the constitutional principle of the

sovereignty of the people and the objective law of the widest possible

participation of citizens in governance.
