The Mechanism of Rotation of Municipal Employees: Domestic and Foreign Experience

The subject of the research is the institute of personnel rotation in the local government system using the example of the Russian Federation, the United States of America, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Japan. The purpose of the work is a comparative analysis of the legal mechanisms of rotation of municipal employees, to identify their effectiveness and the possibilities of adapting foreign experience in Russian practice. The historical aspect considers the process of evolution of the institute of rotation in the history of the Russian Federation, starting from the ancient ladder system and ending with the management experiment in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. The main goals, grounds, positive and negative consequences of personnel rotation, as well as the importance of this method of personnel management and its consolidation as a separate legal institution of local self-government are established. The novelty of the research lies in the modern analysis of the managerial and legal phenomena of the rotation of municipal employees. A comparison of two similar systems of municipal public administration related to the Anglo-Saxon model in the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland nevertheless revealed the main differences and features of each. The conclusion is drawn: each local community organizes public authority in a municipality in accordance with current economic needs and political expediency, an important part of which is the regular replacement of employees from the managerial level. The results of the research can be used to improve the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of municipal administration.
