The article discusses the need to improve the methods of State regulation and self-government based on the involvement of rural residents in these processes. This will make it possible to form a national model of positive socio-economic dynamics, taking into account historical experience, traditions and foreign practice. In the context of this, the arguments for increasing the responsibility of the institution of State self-government in making decisions on the effective development of the territory seem relevant. The authors note the need for the participation of the rural population in formation of the budget, lobbying for social and other projects which are necessary for specific administrative-territorial units.
