Abstract

In modern political systems, in which increasingly speaks of the alienation of power from the people, "local government undoubtedly plays a major role in the participation of citizens in public affairs, thus making an important corrective to direct democracy and factual inability of citizens to directly participate in making important decisions of general interest. The importance of local self-government evidenced by the fact that she's in almost all the states a constitutional category, as well as the laws in detail, and the Constitution in general, guaranteed its financial autonomy, in the broadest sense. But it is necessary to analyze how the financial autonomy of reality and realize how the sufficiency or insufficiency of the received income from autonomous and guaranteed sources affect the position and the survival of local government.
