Effectiveness of legislative policy: current challenges and prospects for strengthening

The author of the scientific work proposed a criterion-based approach to measuring the effectiveness of legislative policy. The importance of a systematic approach to the perception of lawmaking is noted, since it is precisely due to the lack of systematicity in the adoption and updating of legislative acts that defects in legislation arise, especially due to the lack of clear guidelines, goals and coordinated work of institutions involved in the development of regulatory rules, their processing, etc. It is concluded that the scientific community mostly unanimously states that the process of adopting legislative acts should indeed be systematic, consistent and internally consistent. It is summarized that legislative policy plays a decisive role in creating a high-quality and effective legal toolkit that ensures the harmonious development of the legal system. The main goal of such a policy is to build an internally consistent and consistent lawmaking process that eliminates both subjective and objective systemic legislative errors. However, to achieve this goal today, it is necessary to overcome certain challenges that arise at different stages of lawmaking activity, namely: − firstly, to minimize the influence of subjective factors on the implementation of lawmaking, which often arise due to shortcomings in the organizational and technical process of preparing lawmaking acts; − secondly, objective systemic errors are often the result of shortcomings in the structure of the lawmaking process itself. One of the most destructive factors affecting the quality of lawmaking activity is ignoring the scientific technology of developing lawmaking acts; − thirdly, scientifically sound ideas that underlie lawmaking policy require careful conceptualization. It is concluded that lawmaking policy should be based on a deep understanding of both subjective and objective factors that affect the quality of legal instruments. Elimination of systemic errors is possible only with a comprehensive approach, which includes both the improvement of legal techniques and the introduction of scientific approaches to the development of regulatory legal acts.
