MOTIVATIONAL AND ESTIMATION CRITERION OF WILLINGNESS OF PEOPLE TO PROVIDE THE CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
The main trend of the elite public policy since the second half of the 80-ies of the last century is the democratization of public life and development of civil society in Russia. Its implementation is associated with the design and introduction of a set of mechanisms that determine the relationship between the individual and social institutions of various levels and functional purpose. One such mechanism is civilian oversight over authorities. Ideologues of democracy believe that it allows to improve the efficiency of the power structures and minimize their deviation. The changes that are currently taking place in Russia make a significant adjustment to the behavior patterns characteristic of Russian citizens. In connection with the new understanding of the role of the citizen, the development of institutions of governmental authority and local self-government, there is a real need to find some new approaches to defining the essence of the concept of civilian oversight. This is especially important because most existing concepts cannot explain, why Russian people even with external promotion of civilian oversight are extremely reluctant to participate in it. In this regard, we believe it is important to examine not only the technological component of civilian oversight, but also the motivational and estimation component that can be made explicit by the inducement of people to it, underpinned by commonality of values and interests of municipal community and willingness to cooperate
