PREREQUISITES FOR ECOSYSTEM APPROACH IN CIVIC ACTIVITY`S ORGANIZATION IN MODERN RUSSIA (PART 2)

Abstract

The paper is a continuation of the article published in the previous issue of the journal. In the first part, theoretical approaches to understanding and interpreting ecosystems were considered. Based on them, the definition of the ecosystem of civic activity was formulated as a set of digital services forming a single infrastructure of interaction, as well as the creation of coalitions and cooperating partnerships acting in the interests of their creators. The features of civic activity ecosystems were also highlighted: the development of digital forms of civic and protest activity, the use of digital services and platforms, multi-channel communication, multiple collaborations, cooperation and horizontal interaction of participants. In order to identify the features of the development of civil and protest activity in modern Russia in the context of the development of digital services and platforms that serve as a prerequisite for the creation of ecosystems in politics, the results of expert surveys conducted in the period 2014-2022 were summarized. The results of the study indicate trends in the systematic development of online and offline civic activity in the subjects of the Russian Federation. We can talk about the strengthening of civil action in the Network and the increasing role of digital forms of civic activity, as well as the partial "transition" of civil society actors to the Internet space to increase the effectiveness of activities. As a result, the network principles of organizing collective actions of citizens are actively developing. It is indicated that protest actions, as well as other forms of civic activity, are more often carried out on the Internet. As a result, there is a development of digital infrastructure for participants of socio-political projects and campaigns - platforms, services for interaction. It provides multi-channel interaction between the organizational core and civil society activists, allowing you to create a single communication space. It is noted that in modern Russian society, the implementation of large-scale "seamless" digital ecosystems is still only a prospect for development. At the same time, a model of interaction based on the cooperation of users around the digital platform is successfully operating.
