Abstract

The article attempts to analyze the scenario of the behavior of public authorities in a situation of destructive social activity. The final list of scenarios is given, as well as their characteristics. Purpose of the study: to identify scenarios of behavior of public authorities in a situation of destructive social activity, to determine the most effective of them in terms of resolving a conflict situation at the lowest cost. Research methods: scenario analysis, institutional analysis, game theory, behavioral theory, D. North's theory of legal violence. Results: seven scenarios of behavior of public authorities in a situation of destructive social activity have been identified, a matrix of scenarios of behavior of public institutions as a reaction to destructive social activity has been compiled. Conclusions. The desire to turn a natural state into a free state according to D. North seems to be the only correct vector for the development of the state, since it is this type of state that is able not only to create effective institutional conditions for resolving social conflicts, but also to create incentives for the state, business and society to harmonious development. The article presents a diagnostic map for assessing the abilities of the digital infrastructure of public authorities to respond in a timely manner to the information needs and moods of young people, taking into account internal and external information influence.
