The article examines the evolution of political relations between the state and business in Ukraine in the conditions of state corporatism. The purpose of the article was to determine the main political trends of government-business interaction, to reveal the processes of evolution of relations and to assess the prospects of their influence on the modern Ukrainian political process. The concepts of collective action and the model of universalism-particularism are proposed as a methodological basis for the analysis of relations between state, business and civil society. It is substantiated that the mechanisms of political interaction between the state and business are gradually being replaced by the mechanisms of political influence of the state on business. The results obtained emphasize the role that civil society organizations can play in the representation of politics. In the conclusions it was established that the forms and principles of state corporatism describe relations; when the government not only chooses: organizations and groups that should represent the interests of the enterprise in interaction with it, but also controls them to some extent.
