The study examines the relationship between the evolution of the concept of public power and changes in perceptions of the role of local government in the political system. The epistemological content of the concept of "public authority" has been clarified. It shows that, despite the rather wide range of meanings in which this concept can be used, its application has not allowed us to find a way out of the "institutional trap", which consists in the difficulty of integrating local governments, as non-governmental institutions, with state bodies in a single system. The author believes that this conflict between the needs of political practice and regulatory requirements is due to the confluence of circumstances caused by the struggle of actors during the period of political confrontation between the legislative and executive authorities in October 1993. However, the lack of socio-economic support necessary for the full functioning of the institute inevitably made it turn into the "lower level" of the state administration system, disguising the municipal government as a non-governmental organization. The functioning of formally self-governing, but effectively state bodies at the local level has a number of negative consequences. Organizational and legal ways out of the "institutional trap" are proposed.References
