Функциональная взаимосвязь элементов политической инфраструктуры

Abstract

The article delves into the functional relationship between the elements of political infrastructure, which is the entire array of tools that allow interaction between political power and civil society. On the one hand, these are tools at the disposal of political institutions (state, political parties, other institutions of political representation). These tools are specific, and the algorithms for their use are reflected in the legal framework of the state. On the other hand, this array also includes not always obvious and tangible means of influencing the consciousness, perception and behavior of citizens, which are contained in the political culture that integrates ideologies, political archetypes, and distinctive features of mentality. In addition, the new technological conditions of digitalization have become a “great challenge” both for the individual behavior of citizens and for the transformation of their interaction among themselves and with political authorities. In order to transform this challenge into an opportunity for development, political infrastructure participants should be involved in the development and evaluation of alternatives for the optimal development of territories and, consequently, the state as a whole.
