Problem setting. Civil society in the modern conditions of human civilization is becoming an ambitious regulator of public relations between society and the state. Democratic values, which are embedded in the development program of many world powers, have formed the basis of communication mechanisms for the interaction of numerous institutions of public power and civil society. At the same time, the latter have considerable socio-psychological advantages and significantly affect the development of public-institutional relations in the state. Therefore, the state with respect for society determines the parameters of political and legal interaction, state regulation, policy of development of civil society institutions, promotes their motivated activities, stimulates their social and consolidating purpose. In this context, the experience of European countries is invaluable for Ukraine. It is especially important to use the successes of practical activities of public organizations in the EU countries adjacent to Ukraine, which underwent similar transformational socio-political processes in the late twentieth century and managed to effectively implement the public management capabilities of civil society.Recent research and publications analysis. We study the experience of European countries in the interaction of public authorities and public organizations by analyzing the original sources of official documents and research authored by Ukrainian and foreign scholars. The list of used literature prompted us to look for the best examples of intersubjective public-administrative relations in order to apply them in Ukrainian realities.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Based on the need to use the positive experience of the world's leading democracies in building civil society and the dynamics of its institutions, we consider it appropriate to identify the main trends in the system of public organizations in the European Union bordering Ukraine and have many common historical, cultural and social political characteristics (Poland, Hungary, Romania). In our opinion, such an approach would promote more effective adaptation of the state to the requirements of civil society at the present stage, would accelerate the improvement of state policy to promote the development of its institutions.Paper main body. The global dominance of democracy on the European continent at the end of the twentieth century was made possible primarily by Europeans' awareness of the integral values of human coexistence, attention to the daily lives of citizens regardless of language, nationality, race, religion. The basic principles of humanism, freedom and justice have become a solid foundation for civil society, which has become an example of modern development of the world's leading countries. The European Union emerged as an integral democratic institution, where the defense of human rights and freedoms is a priority of both continental civil society and each of its constituent states. The system of public organizations can be considered as an intermediate link that ensures this important mission and acts as an instrument of public interaction between the state and society. It is thought that the analysis of trends in their system in these EU neighboring countries can be accelerated by using a set of important criteria for assessing the level of development of NGOs, which will systematically give us the necessary performance indicator. Among them, we would emphasize such as state policy, legislation, civic initiative and the practice of public interaction of all subjects of state formation. We justify the use of the studied experience to analyze these criteria by the fact that they provide a holistic picture of common and distinctive features in the dynamics of the system of public organizations in a multilevel construct on a global (comparison within the EU), national (purely state-territorial segment) and regional (local territorial distribution) levels and assess the effectiveness of their public administration and institutional interaction with public authorities.For Ukraine, it would be worthwhile to use the experience of at least such neighboring countries of the Central and Eastern European region as Poland, Hungary and Romania, which at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s almost simultaneously made a successful transition to democracy and continue to improve the country's development. and social life.

The principle of mutual trust and social responsibility is needed for effective interaction of state bodies with civil society institutions. As a result, there is a tangible synergetic effect of cooperation between state and society institutions on contractual terms.

And their subject manifestations can be the experience of profile interaction, when ministerial agencies directly cooperate with relevant organizations (example of Romania), the effectiveness of the service delivery and its digitalization (example of Poland) and coordinated policies to promote the development of NGOs and, in particular, ethno-national communities Hungary). This format of public administration relations should be instilled in Ukraine, for which a particularly valuable example is the business activity of the subjects of public administration relations, which is characterized primarily by the transparency of decisions, reciprocity of public action and social responsibility of the parties. ; Проаналізовано практику ефективної взаємодії представників публічної влади і громадських організацій у суміжних із Україною країнах Європейського Союзу (далі – ЄС) Польщі, Угорщині, Румунії.

Despite the attempts of state authorities to emphasize the readiness for constructive cooperation, the current state of relations between the state and society in Ukraine does not improve the situation in this direction. Therefore, the necessity of applying different models and approaches to the coordination of management activities between the institutions of society and the state is precisely within the context of public administration.Recent research and publications analysis. The issue of management activity of government institutions occupies a prominent place in state-management research studies. Some aspects of the interaction between the institutions of society and the state were investigated in the works of T. Andriychuk, S. Teleshun, V. Gelston, O. Kornievsky, E. Kuznetsov, M. Latsybi. The foreign experience in this field has been introduced by I. Belyi.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Taking into account the current interaction between authorities and citizens, it is worthwhile to focus on specific mechanisms for optimizing the coordinated management activities of public and state institutions. In particular, the question of the place and role of civic organizations as the key elements of civil society and their managerial potential in these processes has not been studied yet.Paper main body. In this case, we propose a consensus-based public-government model that can be used as a mobilization-integration tool for organizing citizens in any territorial environment – whether it is a united territorial community, a specific region, or a country as a whole.Government bodies and local self-government bodies, while implementing the process of decentralization of public administration at all levels, create favorable conditions for publicity and openness of communication with civil society institutions and public organizations in particular. Proceeding from the fact that the process of decentralization is aimed at the end-to-end democratization of institutional relations and affirms the admission of certain administrative powers of representatives of civil society, we consider it appropriate to reformat the nature of relations in the direction of promoting civil society organizations, where their role will be tangible and public, not superficial.This concerns the practical involvement of representatives of civil society into the cooperation with authorities, through a synthesis of the distribution of managerial powers and the adoption of consolidated decisions. This, in our understanding, is the introduction of a consensus model.The key category in this research is the term "consensus", which is understood as the fact of the consent of the main socio-political forces (entities) regarding the distribution of power and management values. It can be also understood as the search for mutually acceptable solutions that can satisfy all stakeholders in the management process. In this model, it is important to have an equitable distribution of functions performed by its subjects, as well as a balance of interests and relationships that operate on the principles of consensus-based democracy.The most important incentive for the conscious and systematic adoption of this model is the desire and ability to find a common language and units on the way of realizing socially important tasks. The following principles, such as trust, respect, consistency, persuasion, purposefulness, serve as incentives for using this model in public administration. The experimental platform for such a model is an open discussion platform, which we regard as a modern approach in public administration, indicating the refusal of the monological way of obtaining the true result and the recognition of the dialogue in achieving the results. Consequently, one should speak about the awareness of each participant of the managerial process of the subjectivity of state-public relations.Management procedure that would implement this model should be democratic, since dictates and excessive control over the functioning of the consensus structure overturns the conceptual nature of this form of cooperation. The key role of the state in this context is to give the initiative to public organizations, public leaders, managers, insiders, which we would call agents, to offer the field of activity on parity, stimulating conditions.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. The use of a consensus model in practice will facilitate the establishment of close partnerships between the institutions of society and the state. The stereotypes of the managerial superiority of state authorities over public initiatives and functional inability of civic organizations to influence the implementation of state policy are the real obstacles in this process. Therefore, the model is one of the many opportunities for attracting institutions to the national context, an important content of social communication, the basis of coordination and management activities, which generally has a real and effective impact on the development of democratic governance.

Problem setting. Based on the level of public cooperation with the stakeholders in social progress, the public organization carries out synergistic action and unites the interests of both the state and society towards achieving the main goal of modern development – providing quality public services to individual citizens, united territorial communities, etc. incorporated into the updated content of public administration. Such an approach is possible in the case of a complete rethinking of the place and role of the civic asset in public-management relations and the mission of public policy towards promoting the priority humanistic ideas of the society.Recent research and publications analysis. The problem of the priority of service-oriented services in the activities of the state and society is increasingly interested in foreign and national researchers. They also focus on key approaches to modernizing public administration with a focus on new service policy. Recognizing the contribution of foreign scientists to the study of problems of development of relations between society and the state, let us focus on the representatives of national science in the field of public administration. In particular, A. Bondarenko, P. Klimushin and D. Spasibov, O. Obolensky and V. Soroko and others. In addition to the above-mentioned issues, the characteristic of the service model of direct public administration, which is the newest area of research in Ukraine, seems to us close to the topic.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. In the study, we operate on a number of concepts that visualize the perspective of a public benefit entity – a public organization that aims to provide social service delivery to united communities through modern innovation through close public policy support. The tools of this process are based on approaches that modernize public administration in the direction of optimizing the sphere of public service delivery based on the implementation of the concept of a service state. Its adapted basis should be based on managerial innovations of public policy with the participation of all subjects of public-state relations aimed at ensuring the process of providing quality services to territorial communities. In our opinion, this is the goal of a service-oriented state and society that actualizes the influence of modernized approaches to public-management relations and initiates the expansion of cooperation with various forms of civic self-organization. In this case, we focus on the active reorientation of the public organization as a social service provider. Its functional purpose is the quality of human life within the limits of the newest self-organized forms.Paper main body. In the content of our study, we also try to clearly identify the phenomenon of a modern public organization, which is characterized as the formation of a socially useful action, aimed at providing public services to the community. In general, other communities, this community differs, in addition to its stated purpose, in activating the socially useful function, the use of managerial and technological innovations and ways of financing it. The category of such non-governmental organizations should include a service-oriented institution that positions itself not socially but narrowly, but socially. Although the latter is not fundamental, as the number of such structures may not be limited. After all, the state is interested mainly in supporting organizations aimed at securing the interests of a limited number of citizens (corporate or professional group), but of the mass recipient of social services. State interest is also manifested here in the functioning of such a public organization, whose socially beneficial action is to initiate service to local communities, to individual citizens, where the state is either unable or under some circumstances or in need of such assistance. Public policy can promote NGOs as social service providers and in other statutory cases (cooperation in regional or national programs, grants, strategies, etc.). Some of the above functional features of a non-governmental organization as a social service provider, however, will be discussed in more detail because, in our opinion, they have a decisive influence on its definition.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Modern democratic processes are designed in such a way that public organizations are able to respond to the contemporary challenges of the state and society under conditions of mutual readiness for public and administrative change. Chief among them is a partnership to ensure the interests of citizens by providing them and their self-organized forms of quality service. The public benefit organization has another important mission - to balance the national interests and interests of the united territorial communities resulting from the decentralization of the management system. Considering that the process of public administration should reflect the democratic principles of subjective reality, we consider the participation of citizens in self-organization of their life as an undeniable right to freedom of action. Therefore, taking into account the judgments about public management as an organizing activity of people, we can assume that the nature of public-management relations is caused by the needs of society and all forms of self-organization of human life (both public organizations and territorial communities) are intended to provide them with priority. The new civil society institutions should be relieved of excessive pressure from the state, leaving behind the possibility of cooperation, assistance and legal support for their activities. After all, public policy should be aimed at providing communities with the necessary services, and the tools of this process should be upgraded public organizations of public benefit - modern social service providers. Functionally, a non-governmental organization must act on the basis of recognition of the fundamental principles of activity as a social service provider. They are based on the main criteria for the subjectivity of public organization, principled approaches to action and recognition of the rule of law and public administration. ; Здійснено обґрунтування нового виду інституції громадянського суспільства – громадської організації як соціального сервіс-провайдера.

Problem setting. One of the effective tools of interpersonal interaction is the prospect of becoming public organizations, which, in our opinion, should be given priority in fulfilling the social tasks of the state and society. Their potential is clearly underestimated, and institutional subjectivity and methodological demand are not fully motivated. Therefore, there is a question about developing and applying a public strategy of updating a public organization as a socially oriented and socially useful entity in the conditions of decentralization of power, which can be an impetus to innovative perception of the place and role of public self-organization in public-state relations.Recent research and publications analysis. When starting an analysis of the rebranding process, you should first clearly understand the concept of "brand" in our thematic disposition. First of all, the branding process is characteristic of the economic, economic and business sphere, where particular importance is attached to the quality of goods or services and their marking (mark, sign, symbol, etc.) is highly appreciated. This is a sign of competitiveness and rating hierarchy. Some researchers consider branding as even a long-term strategy of the organization. However, in our case, we study the socially-oriented functional capabilities of such a civil society institution as a public organization, and consider it a kind of public brand that is subject to renewal, in accordance with the requirements of time and public-state inquiries. In this context, the materials of N. Pigul and D. Pospelovsky also came in handy.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Much attention should be paid to the search for a new face for social transformation providers, including those we see as a public organization. This institution of civil society must conform to the newest format of its positioning in socio-economic and socio-political processes, be subjectively static, fulfill the tasks of a real link between state power and civil society and promote primarily socially oriented ones. Therefore, we consider it necessary to develop a strategic approach to the application of the process of "institutional re-branding of a public organization", which lays down the procedure for updating the named institution of civil society and traces the conditions of state assistance to its intended purpose in the current conditions of decentralization of administrative powers and administrative-territorial changes.Paper main body. However, this requires a dramatic change in the institutional position of the public organization in the social environment and a process of updating its brand. In this case, the public organization becomes a socially useful phenomenon of public-management relations, on the one hand, and the state provides targeted assistance to its development, on the other. Therefore, we propose to carry out institutional re-branding of a non-governmental organization in case of several relevant factors at that time. We propose to introduce into scientific circulation the concept of "institutional rebranding of a public organization", by which we mean a set of certain wellness measures aimed at changing the socio-organizational quality of its functional capacity and constituent elements that enhance the role and place of associations of citizens in a socially oriented state.First of all, it is about the ideology of socially useful activity and positioning, the perception of public organization in society and the state as a social and socially significant phenomenon. In this case, institutional rebranding is aimed at changing the way in which the organizations operate in society and their perception, which has developed earlier in the minds of citizens. In our opinion, the implementation of institutional rebranding allows to bring the public organization in line with contemporary social requirements and requests, transformation of its purpose, brand, dynamics of development of the state and society and prospects of activating the role of the factor of self-organization in the life of citizens. Thus, first of all, the changes concern a new approach to the role of public organization in the life of society and strengthening its social purpose. At the same time, the legal status and type of public formation (public association) of the organization is practically unchanged, and institutional rebranding is aimed at transforming the socially-oriented essence of society and its subjective socially useful expression in society and the state.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Institutional rebranding of a non-governmental organization is a modern production necessity arising from the conditions of civil society development, democratic reforms in Ukraine, and especially the decentralization of the public administration system with elements of public-management innovation. In our opinion, the renewal of the institutional image of a non-governmental organization is a kind of request of modern Ukrainian society and an auxiliary factor of fulfillment of socially oriented state-building tasks before citizens. ; Обґрунтовано механізм оновлення громадської організації та його застосування в умовах демократизації та децентралізації влади.

The question of state-building of Ukraine as a European democratic state has always been connected with the desire of citizens to directly participate in socio-political processes, have an influence on the state, its internal and foreign policy orientations. The main significance of the functioning of civic organizations today is that they essentially contribute to the social and state integration of Ukrainians and the institutionalization of the interests of citizens of the state through democratic procedures.Recent research and publications analysis. Despite the sufficient and diverse study of the status of a civic organization in Ukrainian and foreign science, the problem of its function as a necessary element of democratic governance has a one-sided comprehension. In fact, researchers in the scientific community have a certain consensus on understanding the institutional role of a public organization in democratic processes. In the context of the contemporary development of a democratic regime in Ukraine, the topic under study in a new way announces an essential view of the meaningful features of civic organizations in the works of many scholars. We were interested in problems of practical improvement of the functional capabilities of a public organization as an essential element of public administration and the place of democracy in modern social and state relations.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. The Ukrainian state, though not rapidly, but gradually and dynamically, is embedded in the construction of the interaction of the state and society with the nature of democratic relations, the ultimate goal of which is the formation of a stable system of the rule of law of civil society. In this regard, a special place is given to public organizations, which, of course, should act as a unifying mediator in socio-political processes and must assume the mission of a democratic interagency administrative tool. At the same time, from the point of view of influence on political decisions, articulation of public interests and formation of social interests, a number of practical issues, problems and warnings about their social and legal capacity and place in state creation.Paper main body. The starting point for understanding the role of civic organizations as an essential element of democratic governance is to perceive it as a center for the accumulation of citizens' interests. Such institutions must without hesitation provide citizens with confidence in securing their own interests before the state and in civil society. In this context, an idea of the instrumental representation of people's will is formed. In the context of public administration, it is quite often possible to find a meaningful definition of "democracy", which eventually became too formalized. In our case, this term is the basis of the essential understanding of the activities of a public organization. A public organization is a social representation of the "people", "community", "citizens," and provides especially essential content with the concept of "democracy". In such an organization, citizens receive not only the "right to power", but they can also be involved on a full-fledged basis in the system of public administration and the process of state formation, which is guaranteed by the normative and legal principles of a democratic state.It should also be noted that a clear view of the functions of civic organizations, as well as their institutional status, today does not include specialists. In general, this does not complicate their functioning as a democratic element of civil society, since the statutory and programmatic diversity of structural units specifies their infrastructure value.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Characteristics of various denominations of a public organization and its functional guidelines point to the fact that it is not only a structural unit - an institution of civil society as an institution of democracy, but also one of the most dynamic elements of it. Despite the variety of definitions and the use of various variants of explanation of the concept under study, scientists of various disciplinary directions are generally almost unanimous in the thought of its meaningful, so to speak, classical understanding. This is an important consensus moment that deprives practitioners of manipulations and legal conflicts of pessimistic views on the place and role of civic organizations in the state-public construct of modern democratic development. Public organizations in this context should take their institutional place and play a constructive socio-democratic role.

Problem setting. One of the effective tools of interpersonal interaction is the prospect of becoming public organizations, which, in our opinion, should be given priority in fulfilling the social tasks of the state and society. Their potential is clearly underestimated, and institutional subjectivity and methodological demand are not fully motivated. Therefore, there is a question about developing and applying a public strategy of updating a public organization as a socially oriented and socially useful entity in the conditions of decentralization of power, which can be an impetus to innovative perception of the place and role of public self-organization in public-state relations.Recent research and publications analysis. When starting an analysis of the rebranding process, you should first clearly understand the concept of "brand" in our thematic disposition. First of all, the branding process is characteristic of the economic, economic and business sphere, where particular importance is attached to the quality of goods or services and their marking (mark, sign, symbol, etc.) is highly appreciated. This is a sign of competitiveness and rating hierarchy. Some researchers consider branding as even a long-term strategy of the organization. However, in our case, we study the socially-oriented functional capabilities of such a civil society institution as a public organization, and consider it a kind of public brand that is subject to renewal, in accordance with the requirements of time and public-state inquiries. In this context, the materials of N. Pigul and D. Pospelovsky also came in handy.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Much attention should be paid to the search for a new face for social transformation providers, including those we see as a public organization. This institution of civil society must conform to the newest format of its positioning in socio-economic and socio-political processes, be subjectively static, fulfill the tasks of a real link between state power and civil society and promote primarily socially oriented ones. Therefore, we consider it necessary to develop a strategic approach to the application of the process of "institutional re-branding of a public organization", which lays down the procedure for updating the named institution of civil society and traces the conditions of state assistance to its intended purpose in the current conditions of decentralization of administrative powers and administrative-territorial changes.Paper main body. However, this requires a dramatic change in the institutional position of the public organization in the social environment and a process of updating its brand. In this case, the public organization becomes a socially useful phenomenon of public-management relations, on the one hand, and the state provides targeted assistance to its development, on the other. Therefore, we propose to carry out institutional re-branding of a non-governmental organization in case of several relevant factors at that time. We propose to introduce into scientific circulation the concept of "institutional rebranding of a public organization", by which we mean a set of certain wellness measures aimed at changing the socio-organizational quality of its functional capacity and constituent elements that enhance the role and place of associations of citizens in a socially oriented state.First of all, it is about the ideology of socially useful activity and positioning, the perception of public organization in society and the state as a social and socially significant phenomenon.

The current development of Ukraine as a state, which constantly announces its path as irreversibly democratic, makes for more effective cooperation between state authorities and civil society institutions in all spheres of social and political life. It is important to identify positive and negative phenomena in the development of civil society institutions, in particular civil society organizations, at each stage of their development during the years of Ukraine's independence, focusing the problem in three dimensions – the position of the authorities, the legislative framework, and the motivation of the "third sector".Recent research and publications analysis. Among the most recent publications useful in our material, it is worth highlighting the work of M. Nazaruk "Istorychni aspekty stanovlennia instytutu hromadskyh objednan", in which we find a peculiar approach to the division into periods of public organizations development in an independent Ukraine, and I. Kondratenko's material on the role of public organizations in the socio-political life of Ukraine and the growth of demand for civil society institutes.Much attention deserves N. Gaeva's works on a detailed analysis of the latest version of the Law of Ukraine "Pro hromadski objednannia", S. Ishchuk, "Kontseptualni zasady realizatsii prava na svobodu objednan v Ukraini" on the target regional programs for the development of civil society and K. Levchuk "Hromadski orhanizatsii Ukrainy: stvorennia ta diialnist (1985 – 1996)".Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. In the context of our research, our attention was paid to following tasks: the analysis of the dynamics of public organizations development during the years of Ukraine's independence and their stages; the outlining of specific features and problems of interaction between public authorities and civil society institutions; the specification of regional public organizations and the skillful use of their experience for the prospects of civil society development.Paper main body. We offer our own stage of development of public organizations in independent Ukraine. In the logic of the criteria for the selection of such a classification, we put a chronicle of socio-political development of Ukraine, quantitative, qualitative and meaningful components of the work of public organizations, the evolution of the legislative foundations of their activities, the specifics of relations between state authorities and associations of citizens. Fixing positive and negative manifestations at each stage of the development of civic organizations in Ukraine, in our opinion, will have an important cognitive and applied effect for understanding the place and role of civil society, the mechanisms of the "third sector" in the dynamics of the development of democracy in general. Taking into account these components, we propose to consider the organizational and meaningful development of public organizations in Ukraine during the years of its independence in the following five stages: 1987 – 1990: spontaneous and organizational; 1990 – 1998: basic norm-making; 1999 – 2005: mass mobilization; 2006 – 2012: integration-institutional; 2013 – for the present: active volunteerism.We will try to substantiate the boundaries of the stages of development of public organizations in independent Ukraine and their meaningful content, noting that the problem of their phased evolution should be investigated through a three-dimensional analysis of effectiveness – the position of state authorities to the essence of civil society, the constant application of the legislative framework and the motivation spectrum of the possibilities of the "third sector". We believe that due to the unity of these components, we can achieve effective results in the process of democratization of public management and administration, as well as in the sustainable development of civil society.Analysis of the dynamics of the development of public organizations during the years of Ukraine's independence shows, in our opinion, two main points. Firstly, the formation of civil society was perceived by citizens as a direct manifestation of the democratization of social relations and the possibility of direct pressure on the government to make important socio-political decisions. Secondly, the correction of the target activity of public organizations in the direction of realization of their key essence, namely, the "spirit of volunteering", takes place quite slowly and situationally. The greatest manifestation of their activity is the crisis of social and political events (the period of the struggle for Ukraine's independence, the Orange Revolution, the Revolution of Dignity, the conduct of the Anti-Terroristic Operation).Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies.

Taking into account the fact that public organizations play a significant role in socio-political processes, the dynamics of their development in some regions of Ukraine makes researchers thoroughly study the problems of interaction between public authorities and civil society institutions, following the evolution of their relationships, logic and trends of effective interaction, positive and negative variations of this process, etc. A vital need to systematize potential levers of mutually beneficial and deeply responsible cooperation between all national institutes of the state and society has matured.Recent research and publications analysis. Among the works related to the development of proposals for improving the process of interaction between the state and civil society, our attention attracted the materials of M. Kravchenko on the mechanisms of decentralization of social services in Ukraine, V. Ladychenko on the forms of interaction between the state and civil society. I. Kondratenko's article "Hromadske suspilstvo ta yoho vorohy" interested us with raising the question of the growth of demand for civil society institutes for the purpose of effective cooperation between the state and society, the article by S. Ishchuk "Kontseptualni zasady realizatsii prava na svobodu obiednan v Ukraini" shows purposeful state policy to support civil society.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem.Despite the understanding of the importance of the development of civil society in contemporary Ukraine, the activity and purposefulness of public organizations is often limited both by the legal uncertainty of their parameters and by the inadequate perception of public initiatives by regional authorities and local communities, the skepticism about the effectiveness of the "third sector", the establishment of target "donor" boundaries in grant activities. In our opinion, it would be more efficient to use the potential of integrating the experience, initiatives and opportunities of representatives of public authorities, local self-government and public organizations to address a number of local social issues. The above problems are faced with the corresponding research tasks, with the purpose of their clear justification for practical improvement in the process of interaction between the institutes of the state and civil society.Paper main body.The nature of the relationship between government bodies, local self-government bodies and civil society institutions should be built, among other things, and on the three principles that are inseparable from each other – the democratic governance of public administration, social interaction and legal certainty. According to our belief, only through the common understanding of the parties concerned by these principles, it is possible to establish clear boundaries between the interests of state power and civil society institutions, to differentiate their powers, to carry out a pragmatic assessment of opportunities and real monitoring of problems, forecasting and planning of actions in a concretely defined social space. Public organizations that declare readiness for such cooperation and initiate social service delivery should be encouraged by the state program of support of civil society institutions and receive a "carte blanch" to fulfill a specific social order. The logic of the above is based on the fact that the state remains in Ukraine a customer of social services and a controller over those who perform them. In fact, the state regulates the entire process. However, clear boundaries of influence on social contractors should be understood, since the overload of state control over civil society organizations violates the fundamental principles of civil society. Therefore, the potential of relations between state authorities, local self-government bodies and public organizations lies in the integration of their experience, initiative and real possibilities. By systematizing the potential of the mutual influence of public administration, local self-government and public organizations to determine the prospects for the development of civil society in Ukraine, we consider it necessary to establish a clear division of powers of each of the subjects of the process of integration of experience, initiatives and opportunities. In this case, all mentioned participants in this process receive their share of work to perform socially significant tasks.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Summing up these judgments, it should be noted that in Ukraine, despite the complexity of foreign and domestic political development, the course on European integration and the real implementation of democratic institutional principles remains not only unchangeable but also as a priority. Ukrainian non-governmental organizations are trying to use in practice the positive experience of the activities of civil society institutions of the European Union countries, bringing to the fore the spirit of volunteering which is traditional and crucial for the essence of social associations. However, the activity and purpose of public organization s are often limited by the legal uncertainty of the parameters of the activity of public institutions, the inadequate perception of public organizations initiatives by regional authorities and local communities, the skepticism about the effectiveness of the "third sector" and the target "donor" boundaries.Problem setting.

The greatest manifestation of their activity is the crisis social and political events (the period of the struggle for Ukraine's independence, the Orange Revolution, the Revolution of Dignity, the conduct of Anti-Terroristic Organization). ; Здійснено аналіз динаміки розвитку неурядових громадських організацій в роки незалежності України. Запропоновано власну етапизацію еволюції системи громадських організацій. Окреслено характерні особливості та проблеми взаємодії органів державної влади й інститутів громадянського суспільства.

Систематизовано потенціал взаємовпливу органів державного управління, місцевого самоврядування та громадських організацій для визначення перспектив розвитку громадянського суспільства в Україні. Запропоновано схему інтеграції досвіду, ініціатив і можливостей усіх згаданих суб'єктів зазначеного процесу. Акцентовано увагу на характерних особливостях і проблемах взаємодії органів державної влади, місцевого самоврядування й інститутів громадянського суспільства. Вказано на державотворче значення тісної співпраці між ними. ; Problem setting. Taking into account the fact that public organizations play a significant role in socio-political processes, the dynamics of their development in some regions of Ukraine makes researchers thoroughly study the problems of interaction between public authorities and civil society institutions, following the evolution of their relationships, logic and trends of effective interaction, positive and negative variations of this process, etc. A vital need to systematize potential levers of mutually beneficial and deeply responsible cooperation between all national institutes of the state and society has matured.Recent research and publications analysis. Among the works related to the development of proposals for improving the process of interaction between the state and civil society, our attention attracted the materials of M. Kravchenko on the mechanisms of decentralization of social services in Ukraine, V. Ladychenko on the forms of interaction between the state and civil society. I. Kondratenko's article "Hromadske suspilstvo ta yoho vorohy" interested us with raising the question of the growth of demand for civil society institutes for the purpose of effective cooperation between the state and society, the article by S. Ishchuk "Kontseptualni zasady realizatsii prava na svobodu obiednan v Ukraini" shows purposeful state policy to support civil society.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem.Despite the understanding of the importance of the development of civil society in contemporary Ukraine, the activity and purposefulness of public organizations is often limited both by the legal uncertainty of their parameters and by the inadequate perception of public initiatives by regional authorities and local communities, the skepticism about the effectiveness of the "third sector", the establishment of target "donor" boundaries in grant activities. In our opinion, it would be more efficient to use the potential of integrating the experience, initiatives and opportunities of representatives of public authorities, local self-government and public organizations to address a number of local social issues. The above problems are faced with the corresponding research tasks, with the purpose of their clear justification for practical improvement in the process of interaction between the institutes of the state and civil society.Paper main body.The nature of the relationship between government bodies, local self-government bodies and civil society institutions should be built, among other things, and on the three principles that are inseparable from each other – the democratic governance of public administration, social interaction and legal certainty. According to our belief, only through the common understanding of the parties concerned by these principles, it is possible to establish clear boundaries between the interests of state power and civil society institutions, to differentiate their powers, to carry out a pragmatic assessment of opportunities and real monitoring of problems, forecasting and planning of actions in a concretely defined social space. Public organizations that declare readiness for such cooperation and initiate social service delivery should be encouraged by the state program of support of civil society institutions and receive a "carte blanch" to fulfill a specific social order. The logic of the above is based on the fact that the state remains in Ukraine a customer of social services and a controller over those who perform them. In fact, the state regulates the entire process. However, clear boundaries of influence on social contractors should be understood, since the overload of state control over civil society organizations violates the fundamental principles of civil society. Therefore, the potential of relations between state authorities, local self-government bodies and public organizations lies in the integration of their experience, initiative and real possibilities. By systematizing the potential of the mutual influence of public administration, local self-government and public organizations to determine the prospects for the development of civil society in Ukraine, we consider it necessary to establish a clear division of powers of each of the subjects of the process of integration of experience, initiatives and opportunities. In this case, all mentioned participants in this process receive their share of work to perform socially significant tasks.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Summing up these judgments, it should be noted that in Ukraine, despite the complexity of foreign and domestic political development, the course on European integration and the real implementation of democratic institutional principles remains not only unchangeable but also as a priority. Ukrainian non-governmental organizations are trying to use in practice the positive experience of the activities of civil society institutions of the European Union countries, bringing to the fore the spirit of volunteering which is traditional and crucial for the essence of social associations. However, the activity and purpose of public organization s are often limited by the legal uncertainty of the parameters of the activity of public institutions, the inadequate perception of public organizations initiatives by regional authorities and local communities, the skepticism about the effectiveness of the "third sector" and the target "donor" boundaries.Problem setting.
