LOCAL AUTHORITIES AS AN INSTITUTION OF A CIVIC SOCIETY
Abstract
The community of people living in a certain territory and related to one another by common
interests has a civic character if the identity of that community is guaranteed. Further, the identity
of a civic community is expressed by its independence. The independence of a local organ
should be guaranteed by appropriate legislative acts, or else it is ficitious in law and members of
the community will loose their feeling of belonging to the community. Consequently, they may also
start loosing confidence in the State and feel discouraged to participate in public life. However, certain
pathologies that are sometimes observed in the activities in organs of local authorities may
serve as an argument against such self governing bodies. Certain legal solutions implemented to
prevent undesired behaviour of public officers might serve as a certain remedy, which will not however,
satisfactorily substitute ethical principles upon which their attitudes should be based.
