Abstract. The current paper has considered the legal nature of state strategy as a special form of public administration that combines normative and program-targeted content. Strategy has been suggested not as a set of declarative provisions, but as a legally significant instrument that ensures long-term goal setting, the consistency of government decisions, and the resource orientation of state policy. Based on an analysis of domestic and international literature, there have been identified key approaches to the legal nature of strategy, tracing the concept’s evolution from a military category to a universal instrument for regulating complex socioeconomic systems. There have been examined the specific features of the Russian strategic planning model, its institutionalization following the adoption of Federal Law No. 172-FZ “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation” of June 28, 2014, and the key issues of the legal certainty of strategies, their relationship with budget planning, and the consistency of strategic documents and control mechanisms. There has been argued that strategy represents a legal form of governance that integrates political guidelines and legally binding consequences. There have been proposed directions for improving the legal efficiency of strategic planning in the Russian Federation.

Keywords: state strategy; legal form of governance; strategic planning; public authority; state policy; program-targeted management.
