Civil society as a political and legal category: modern conceptual approaches
Journal Title: Альманах права - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
The peculiarity of scientific work is that the author attempts to analyze conceptual approaches and problems that exist in contemporary scientific views on questions of the category’s «civil society» content. As a result, author made suggestions to understand the category of «civil society» in the field of law. First of all, the idea that civil society is a complex system of social relations, aimed at mobilizing and protecting the interests of its private and collective interests in all spheres of public life is the focus of civil society. Also, such an idea needs to be supplemented, as this sphere of public relations also involves equal cooperation between civil society and the state, as a result of which such a society has a constructive effect on the processes of social and state development. Secondly, based on the experience of Ukraine, we can state that an effective civil society does not always require clear institutionalized forms, since, along with such formal institutions as public associations, other less formalized forms of social organization play an important role in the processes of state-building, voluntary movements, charitable initiatives and other specific public practices. That is why, apart from the formal institutional structure, the category of civil society should include additional forms of social organization aimed at satisfying collective (public) interests. Thirdly, in order to perceive the term «civil society» as a legal category, it is important to understand that a number of analyzed values of civil society are also its constitutional and legal basis. Among the main ideas is the freedom of self-organization, free communication space, democracy, an effective mechanism for the realization and protection of the rights and interests of the individual.
