Abstract
Aim. To consider the features of the concept of multilevel governance as a new form of territorial organization of public power, analyze its origins, prerequisites and prospects.
Methodology. An analysis of the concept of multilevel governance was made using the comparative legal method as the main research method. Sociological, systemic and structural-functional approaches were also applied.
Results. Both the shortcomings of the concept of multilevel governance and its significance from the point of view of the development of constitutionalism and the strengthening of the democratic principles of the European institutional structure were revealed.
Research implications. The formulated conclusions are important for understanding the features of the territorial organization of public power in a modern state, the peculiarities of the interaction of various levels of power in the context of their increasing mutual influence and interdependence, the prospects of national states within the existing multilevel system.
