Mechanism for the formation of a favorable environment of interaction between the state and civil society

Abstract

State power plays a decisive role in the formation of civil society. It legally regulates the activities of civil society institutions and determines their competence. It can also stimulate the emergence of these institutions by establishing the basic principles of the society’s activity by introducing certain values through regulatory and legal acts. It is emphasized that the importance of the formation of a mature civil society in any state cannot be overestimated. Civil society as an open social system of a higher organic type, consisting of individuals, organizations and their relationships, contributes to the strengthening of statehood, serves as a criterion for the formation of effective open relations between the authorities and citizens, and it is a factor in the harmonization and stabilization of socio-political relations in society. It has been established that civil society is the guarantor of successful interaction between the government and the population, and, as it is known, there is no state without the population. Thus, civil society contributes directly to the existence and development of the country. The studied functions performed by civil society ensure the development and preservation of society and the state. Civil society, with the help of political parties and participation in them, allows influencing both politics and society, realizing economic and social tasks and needs, increasing the welfare of citizens and the level of economic development of the country in general. The activation of civil society and the formation of a legal state have now become a necessity for the formation of statehood. The importance of civil society in systemic transformations contributes to increasing scientific and practical interest in the relationship between the idea and concept of civil society. It was determined that the mechanism of interaction between civil society and the state is a relatively orderly system of structures and relations, with the help of which the goals of individuals and their collective formations are achieved and their state regulation is ensured. It is emphasized that society functions productively and develops only when there is constant and effective interaction between the state and civil society.
