Нормативно закрепленные инструменты стимулирования низовой гражданской активности

The article describes the results of a study aimed at identifying normatively established tools for stimulating the development of positive civic engagement. The authors present the results of a comparative study of the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, including examples of the most successful stimulation of volunteerism, charity, and territorial public self-government. The authors put forward the thesis that for the successful development of volunteerism, charity, territorial public self-government and other systemic institutions of civil society, an important factor is the state of the non-profit sector of the region itself, which the author reveals using the example of the Yaroslavl region.
