Abstract
Background. Issues of effective governance in a developed civilized state require not only competent, wise and qualified decisions on the part of government officials, but also determine the need for feedback from representatives of the public. Given the specifics of Russian society, the main subject of society that is capable of constructively interacting with the authorities is civil society, which includes the most proactive, caring subjects with an active civic position, interested in the qualitative improvement of issues of public process management. To ensure interaction between the state and civil society, legal and non-legal forms of communication between the state and civil society have been formed, designed to ensure the effective and constructive nature of this communication. The purpose of this article is to analyze the main legal and non-legal forms of communication between the state and civil society. Materials and methods. The implementation of the research objectives was achieved based on the analysis and generalization of the formed forms of communication between the state and civil society institutions. Results. The substantive content of the main legal and non-legal forms of communication between state authorities and civil society institutions was studied. Conclusions. The legal forms enshrined in regulatory legal acts and the non-legal forms of communication between the state and civil society formed in practice are designed to ensure constructive interaction between public authorities and the most active and concerned members of our society, and are capable of ensuring the development of the most optimal models in the field of public administration.
