INTERACTION OF PUBLIC AUTHORITY BODIES AND CIVIL SOCIETY INSTITUTIONS IN THE CONDITIONS OF POWER DECENTRALIZATION

The purpose of the article is research and generalization of scientific approaches regarding the interaction of public authorities and institutions of civil society in conditions of decentralization of power. It was determined that civil society and public authorities are in constant interaction, complement each other and depend on each other. A strong legal democratic state cannot exist without civil society. As a result of the study, it was established that the activities of civil society institutions should correspond to the strategic goal of civil society to create conditions for the fullest possible self-realization and satisfaction of the interests of society, individual individuals and their collective associations. It was established that the public-legal type of interaction between civil society and public authorities is characterized by the direct power activity of public authorities, which implement the functions of the state through law-making, law enforcement and control. The private-law type of interaction between civil society and public authorities looks somewhat more complicated, since civil society subjects, not having state-authority powers, can influence public authorities through participation in election procedures, examination of legal acts, monitoring and control It is emphasized that control is only one of a rather large number of types of interaction between civil society and public authorities, which can be defined as activities carried out by subjects of civil society in the forms established by regulatory and legal acts, by observation, assessment and, if necessary, adjustment of activities, results of activities of public authorities for the purpose of ensuring their compliance with predetermined parameters and the goal of increasing the efficiency of such activities.
