Abstract: Search for an optimal level of detail and forms of federal regulation within the scope of joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its subjects is currently one of the key goals of balanced federal relations. As the author of this article notes, in order to solve this problem, much work should be done and almost all of the federal laws in the sphere of joint competence, as well as relevant conventions, should be amended in accordance with new legislative requirements. The article contains analysis of history of the issue, legislative basis and practice in various areas of law. The author also studies the problem of correlation of the terms “basis” and “basic principles” of legislation in the sphere of joint competence.
