Trends in the development of the executive power institution in Tajikistan

The presented article is devoted to the tendencies of development of theinstitution of executive power in Tajikistan, the functioning quality of which saves the power of defining factor of efficiency of the state.The author pays attention to the modern achievements of legal science, which allows clarifying a number of significant features of theconsidered branch of the government; its consideration has essential value on the formation of a modern model of public administration,equitable to the interests of sustainable development of the country. It is especially underlined that executive power is an objective necessity,expressing the organizing essence of the state; it manifests itself as the power accountable and controllable, responsible andbylaw, owing to which administrative activity gets absolutely new qualities. Focusing attention on the fully developed mechanism ofpublic management in Tajikistan, the author notices that despite essential updating of its structure and acceptance of some significantpolitical and legal documents, it was impossible to reach qualitative improvement in the functioning of public administration. The reasonsfor such a prosaic situation, according to him, were, firstly, unsatisfactory interaction of official structures with the profile scientificand expert community, secondly, low culture and professionalism in public service. According to the author, similar symptoms can notonly cause danger of scornful relation to private interest and apathy of citizens, but also bear essential threats to the legal security of thecountry. Therefore, with indication of the obvious necessity of strengthening of the human factor role in the government administrationthe author also supports the empowerment of the position of representative bodies of power (first of all, parliament of the country) bythe activity of national administration. Thus, as the author supposes, not only necessary effective and cardinal measures are required forkeeping the latter within law, but also it is as important to reorient the executive power on solving the problems connected with its intrinsicmission in the society, namely - organization of execution of laws. However, solving this problem in the conditions of presentTajikistan turned out difficult and extremely unordinary, because the existing dominant position of the executive power allows it notonly to duplicate other branches of power, but also, using the passive condition of the latter, often to substitute the content of legislativesettings with departmental notes or administrative discretions. For this reason, during the reforms more attention should be paid to theprocedural activities of the state administration, which allows narrowing the spectrum of administrative discretions and corruption opportunities.In the context of illustration of organizational and legal forms of governance, the author pays attention to the issue that associateswith the correct resolution of the subjective relationship of government and executive power, which does not lose its relevance inthe administrative and legal literature. With relying on the collected methodological materials, the author justifies his conception of theirrelations, which makes it possible, firstly, to clearly define the legal status of the main subjects of the executive power as the "bearingrod" of the organizational structure of public administration and, secondly, to determine the place of other state bodies and specific nonexecutiveauthorities in the strict sense, yet serving the best organization and functioning of the executive branch. Thus, executivepower, its organization and functioning turn to be crucial issues of modern state-legal development of Tajikistan. The problem of creationof a scientifically grounded and effective control system continues to remain on the agenda. Public administration needs modernization.Requirements to its activity and quality of services it renders will increase in the process of empowerment of institutes of civil societyand formation of the high-grade socially focused market economy. In these conditions, as the author believes, executive bodies, theleading links of national administration, are urged to function in advance, showing bright examples of successful and highly productivemanagement.
