  We propose a Poincare-invariant description for the effective dynamics of
systems of charged particles by means of intrinsic multipole moments. To
achieve this goal we study the effective dynamics of such systems within two
frameworks -- the particle itself and hydrodynamical one. We give a
relativistic-invariant definition for the intrinsic multipole moments both
pointlike and extended relativistic objects. Within the hydrodynamical
framework we suggest a covariant action functional for a perfect fluid with
pressure. In the case of a relativistic charged dust we prove the equivalence
of the particle approach to the hydrodynamical one to the problem of radiation
reaction for multipoles. As the particular example of a general procedure we
obtain the effective model for a neutral system of charged particles with
dipole moment.
