Theoretical aspects of improvement of society-business-government cooperation in the context of European integration

Abstract

Accession to European structures requires the Ukraine to implement reforms in various areas, including politics, economy, human rights, and democracy. Interaction between the government, business and civil society in this context is becoming key to the successful implementation of reforms and achievement of European Union (EU) standards. The main purpose of this study was to analyse, evaluate, and develop recommendations for the effective improvement of the mechanisms of interaction between the actors of the government-business-civil society system in the context of European integration processes. The research methods included a systematic approach, structural- functional, and deductive methods. The paper provides an overview of the current challenges and opportunities arising from globalisation and European integration, which require profound changes in the system of interaction between government, business, and civil society. The study investigated the role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in decision-making and implementation, the role of business in promoting sustainable development, and the activities of the authorities in the context of considering the interests of citizens. The paper discussed the main principles and approaches to improving the mechanisms of interaction between government, business, and civil society. The emphasis was placed on the importance of transparency and openness of all stakeholders to the management and decision-making process. The study found viable models of cooperation that balance the interests of various parties and contribute to sustainable development. The study also analysed the practices of European countries regarding the mechanisms of interaction in the system of “government-business-civil society” in the context of European integration. The practical significance of this study lies in the development of concrete recommendations for policy actions aimed at strengthening the interaction between government, business, and civil society in the context of European integration. In general, the research and implementation of recommendations for improving the mechanisms of interaction has the potential to positively affect the multifaceted development of society, political stability, economic development, and contribute to the achievement of European standards and goals
