Abstract
This is a summary of the author’s Candidate of science Thesis, supervised by Professor Oleg Fomin (Department of Political Science at the P.A. Stolypin Volga Region Academy of Public Administration, Russia) and defended on December 18th, 2009 at the Saratov State Social and Economic University (Russia). The thesis is written in Russian and available from the author upon request. It retrospectively analyses different theoretical approaches to studying state–civil society cooperation, defining those which are mostly suitable to analyse such type of social interaction, specifically in comparative context. Consideration of constantly increasing role of civil society practically elsewhere in the world, on the one hand, and evident appearances of democracy crisis, on the other, became the basic prerequisite for the analysis with a focus on the potential of civil society as a key actor in the process of interaction. However, author expresses critical research view pointing out objective conflicts inherent in civil society as the arena with the plurality of interests and identifying not only positive but also negative aspects resulting from state–civil society interaction.
