The relevance of the article is due to the need to understand the evolution of understanding the essence of the communicative policy of the state as a key tool for its interaction with society. The communicative policy of the state plays a key role in the development of general strategies for social development, influences the formation of public opinion, the nature of regulation of political processes, and the specifics of building communication between the state and society. The study of the transformation of communication policy concepts is also determined by the need to significantly improve the methodological aspects of building models of relations between the state and society in order to achieve the goals and implement the functions of state policy, taking into account the goals and interests of society. The study of the communicative policy of the state has a long history, starting from antiquity and ending with the present. The main focus of consideration of this issue is to determine the relationship between the state and society, as well as communication tools for establishing links between them. The solution of theoretical and applied issues of communication between the state and society concerns changes in the sphere of building state institutions and civil society. The communicative policy of the state can be described as a complex system of communication between the state and society, the purpose of which is to achieve a balance between the state-political and socio-humanitarian interests of the parties. The main trend in understanding the essence of the state’s communicative policy is the transition from a controlling model of relations between the state and society to a consensus one, understanding communication tools as basic conditions for combining state-political and socially-oriented goals of state policy. An effective model of the state’s communicative policy is thus possible only in conditions of transparent and democratic relations between the state and civil society.

Progressive Inclusion

Once universal adult citizenship rights have been secured in a society, democratization is mostly a matter of the more authentic political inclusion of different groups and categories, for which formal political equality can hide continued exclusion or oppression. It is important, however, to distinguish between inclusion in the state and inclusion in the polity more generally. Democratic theorists who advocate a strategy of progressive inclusion of as many groups as possible in the state fail to recognize that the conditions for authentic as opposed to symbolic inclusion are quite demanding. History shows that benign inclusion in the state is possible only when (a) a group's defining concern can be assimilated to an established or emerging state imperative, and (b) civil society is not unduly depleted by the group's entry into the state. Absent such conditions, oppositional civil society may be a better focus for democratization than is the state. A flourishing oppositional sphere, and therefore the conditions for democratization itself, may actually be facilitated by a passively exclusive state, the main contemporary form of which is corporatism. Benign inclusion in the state can sometimes occur, but any such move should also produce exclusions that both facilitate future democratization and guard against any reversal of democratic commitment in state and society. These considerations have substantial implications for the strategic choices of social movements.

The Government

The state has a central place in the political system. Through its structure and positioning the country has the strength to be a unifier of society against its overall division of the various classes and layers, ethnic, cultural and other groups. The legitimacy of all these processes is given by laws that determine the trajectory of all processes and the conditions under which the processes take place. The state, by adopting the highest legal acts such as: the constitution and the laws, achieves one of its most important functions, which is the management of society. The state directs society to promote development, but also punishes and sanction infringements and mistakes. Depending on who exercises power in the state, i.e. whether it belongs to the people, to an individual or to a powerful group, the political system can be determined. The political system in itself includes the overall state relations, the relations in society and the guidelines for the conduct of the policy of the state. A state in which the government is elected by the people through direct elections certainly fulfills the basic requirement for the development of a stable civil society. The political system is one of the sub-systems of the entire civil society. The political system is specific in that all the activities and relations of which it is composed are directed to the state and its functions. The structure of the political system is composed of political and legal norms, political knowledge, political culture and political structure. These elements confirm the strong relationship between the state, the law and the political system. Developed democratic societies can talk about a developed political system that abounds with political culture and democracy. It is the aspiration of our life. Investing in democratic societies we invest in the future of our children. If we separate the subjects of the political system, we will determine that the people are the basis of the political system. All competencies intertwine around people. Political systems are largely dependent not only on the political processes that take place in them every day, but also on the economic performance and the economic power of the states. Economic stagnation or regression in some countries often threatens democracy and its values. We often forget that we cannot speak of the existence of a functioning and well-organized democratic political system without its strong economic support. In conditions of globalization, it is necessary to pay special attention to international positions as the main factor of the political system, for the simple reason that the functions of the state in this process are increasingly narrowing.

The declaration of the ‘end of the transition paradigm’ at the dawn of the new millennium provoked a rethinking in transformation theory, as it challenged the dichotomy of democratic and authoritarian systems and the ‘finality’ of transformation. This study contributes to the debate on hybrid political systems, critically assessing established theoretical models of political cul-ture and stability with a view to their applicability in the post-Soviet environment. On the basis of comprehensive field research, the study compares Georgia and Armenia as most similar cases, which inherited similar legacies from their common Soviet past but showed different developments of regime persistence, instability and democratization processes since gaining independence and sovereignty. While Georgia experienced ups and downs of its democratization efforts, Armenia was considered a stable semi-consolidated authoritarian system until the Velvet Revolution, which can be regarded as an important ‘reset’ in Armenia’s recent history. In a comparative approach this study analyses critical hues of stability in the political ‘grey zone’ while concentrating on the intermediary structure of both countries. Given its mediating function within the political system, the intermediary sphere of civil society actors and political elites instructively reflects the (dis)connect between citizens and the state. Focusing the analysis on the intermediary sphere provides valuable insights into the dynamics of political processes and decision-making, the articulation of interests independent from the state and the formation and recruitment of elites. By taking a critical look at the very constitution of the nexus of political elites and civil society as well as interlinkages and impacts, the major finding is that the mutual influence of political culture and political structure on stability can be confirmed in both countries’ context. Thereby, the study identifies key differences in regime configurations that impact persistence in the political grey zone.

The study of the problem of the formation of the Russian civil society is accompanied both in practical and theoretical terms by a whole complex of contradictions and complexities that originate in the ambiguous history of this phenomenon and as well in its equally multivariate interpretation by the scientific community and the general public. Admitting as a fact the common weakness of Russian non-governmental relation, the author considered, practically as an exception, the work of military veteran communities as an example of the successful civil activity of the significant part of the population of the Russian state. Social, military veteran organisations act as a social  institute created by the citizens apart from the state based on solidary interests of their members. At the same time, functioning as a structural element of the civil society they simultaneously represent the mechanism of political socialisation of veterans. Modern veteran organisations are founded and presented in the social and political space of Russia widely enough. It is movements, committees, unions, funds, associations. They have an extensive ramified network the local and regional levels, co-operate with similar communities in the countries of CIS and international organisations. Veteran organisations act as intermediaries between an individual and a group on the one hand and between society and the state from the other, contribute to the strengthening of the mechanism of their interaction, and form new systems of partnership. The issue of social protection and adaptation of military personnel, in particular, the combatants, will remain urgent  for the Russian society in the longer term. Modern political practice, mainly counting on the military force in international affairs, promotes further growth of the number of veterans of wars and military service. Over the last few years, more than 50 thousand soldiers and officers participating in the military campaign in Syria became the members of Russian veterans. The quality of interaction of social organisations of military veterans and state structures has a determinant influence on th participation of the former soldier in socio-political processes. Today, powerful potential of these organisations, capable effectively influence state politics, is used by state structures in an insignificant degree. It can be explained by the unwillingness of the Russian elite and Russian business to interact with civil society.

Today, Ukraine is in dire need of changes and reforms that would lead to the optimization and effective management of society and the state. One of such important reforms is the transition from state to public management, and further improvement of the foundations and principles of public management. In the management of the state, where complex processes of transition to public management are taking place, there have always been advanced trends of deepening and expanding publicity in the activities of government institutions. This is the path taken by the "old" countries of Western democracy, as well as the countries of the post-socialist camp, the Baltic republics, which today have successfully joined the EU. Ukraine must follow this path if it tries to become a civilized part of the world. Hence, the system of state management should change dramatically, when the most appropriate in the management structure is an organic combination and effective interaction of public government and local self-government. Even more, the efficiency of civil society itself in the management of public affairs and state structures of power is growing. Socio-economic development and social-power relations at the present stage are already experiencing more and more new changes, both positive and negative. They are becoming very important for the state and society. Being complex and ambiguous, such developments and relations require introduction at the legislative and political levels of new governance systems and structures, which would involve mandatory involvement of the most active representatives of civil society in governance. Note that the period of transition to public management is complex, full of various management problems, requires time and competence of politicians, government, NGOs and more. It is evolutionary in nature, when publicity in governance must develop, and representatives of the branches of government will try to solve the problem of governing the state and society competently, transparently, responsibly, flexibly, openly, socially justly, effectively for the benefit of man as the main social capital.

Methodological Aspects

The processes of globalization, manifestations of external military, political, economic aggression against Ukraine have led to the formation and strengthening of the destructive impact of hybrid threats, which led to the deployment of a negative chain reaction of aggravation of imbalances in the economic system. Under such conditions, the problem of developing strategic and tactical principles became relevant for the formation and implementation of public policy to combat hybrid threats to ensure the economic security of the state. The purpose of the study is to determine the strategic imperatives of the public policy to combat hybrid threats and ensure the economic security of Ukraine. Theoretical and methodological aspects of the spread of hybrid threats are generalized, its level and directions in the economy of Ukraine are determined, priority spheres, tasks and tools of the state policy of counteraction to hybrid threats and ensuring its economic security are substantiated. The directions of distribution and the set of hybrid threats to economic security at the present stage of socio-economic development of Ukraine are identified. The basic provisions of the Concept of counteraction to hybrid threats to the economic security of Ukraine are developed. It is concluded that the problem of hybrid threats became especially relevant for Ukraine after choosing the pro-European direction of development to which Russian Federation responded with the annexation of Crimea, military, and then political and economic aggression in the Donbas. Ukraine's economy continues to be significantly affected in the form of hybrid threats, which lead to the deployment of a negative reaction to the imbalance of political and socio-economic systems. Growing processes of global integration require the application of new approaches to the formation of high-quality and effective public policy to combat hybrid threats.
