LEGAL POLICY AND LEGAL CO-CREATION OF STATE AND PUBLIC STRUCTURES: A COMPARATIVE ASPECT

Introduction. The article analyzes the problems associated with cooperation in the law-making sphere of state and public structures. Meanwhile, the subject of the study is public authorities and civil society institutions as subjects not only of the law-making process, but also of the formation and implementation of legal policy. Due to this, the article examines the concepts of legal policy and legal co-creation of the state and society, their interrelationships. Materials and methods. Using historical, comparative legal and formal legal methods, the advantages and disadvantages of establishing mechanisms for interaction between state and public structures in such doctrinal political and legal acts as the Concepts of Legal Policy of the Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Belarus were identified. The results of the study. In the process of the research it was taken into account that in the most concentrated form the legal policy of the abovementioned countries is manifested in the Concepts of such policy adopted by them, which also express various aspects of the participation of civil society institutions in the management of state affairs (primarily in the sphere of lawmaking). As a result of the analysis it was revealed that, despite the different levels, they are largely united by the following: in these doctrinal documents, political and legal acts to a greater extent only declare the need for citizens to participate in the management of the state, while in fact, everything is limited to support and control, and there is no full-fledged interaction yet. This also applies to Russia, because in general the results of the analysis of our regulatory framework allow us to conclude that the regulation of communication is carried out in two independent directions, with a predominance of the processes of influence from the authorities on civil society, rather than interaction. Discussion and conclusion. It is proved that in the modern conditions of the formation of a multipolar world, the state and civil society institutions in the above-mentioned countries and Russia, in order to act as a single organism and be effective, must cooperate to the maximum extent. A specific form of cooperation is the legal co-creation of the designated structures. Therefore, the current demand for a special detailed and systemic legal regulation of these issues is substantiated, which will allow citizens and their associations to participate more actively and with interest in the management of common affairs.
