Makarycheva, E.V. The formation of legal mechanism for the guarantees of the state needs in the sphere of housing construction: history and the modern time

Abstract: The elements of state needs and forms of legal mechanisms for meeting these needs are based on historic and civilization factors, and they depend on the economic and social policy of the state at a particular stage of its development. The generalization of the retrospective and comparative analysis of state regulation of housing construction and guarantees of its accessibility to the people allow to make the following conclusions. The state, which positions itself as a social state, may not avoid the regulation of social and economic processes and from the such an important social and economic segment as housing. Russia may not and should not ignore the historic experience in this sphere. The new social and economic realities require the pragmatic evaluation of state regulation in the housing sector in the USA, the Western European states, Japan, Canada in order for Russia to use positive foreign experience in this sphere.
