Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the state of institutions and mechanisms of municipal public policy in the Kostroma region on the basis of the index approach. From these positions the institutional design of two municipalities - Kostroma and Krasny-on-Volga is considered, its features from the point of view of solvency/insolvency of institutions are analyzed. The criterion of completeness of the subject functional of factors and subjects of municipal public policy is introduced for the first time. It is shown that Kostroma formed a centered type of municipal public policy, but with some tendency to break. In the Krasny-on-Volga - discontinuous type. In General, the nature of the current public policy at the municipal level in the Kostroma region is characterized by the properties of state paternalism, which somewhat limits the possibilities of the component of local self-government as an institution of civil society.
