Civil society of Ukraine as a subject of influence on political-military decisions of the state

In the article the author deals with the forms and ways of civil society influence on the process of making political-military decisions (PMD), as well as analyses the normative-legal base of functioning of civil society institutions.

A large number of scientific researches are devoted to the issue of production and implementation of important PMDs, the thematic spectrum of which includes political, philosophical, historical, sociological, psychological and other approaches. The participation of civil society in the political life of the state is also actively discussed in the scientific literature. Meanwhile, most of the available researches are focused on the phenomenon of civil society only in the context of the influence of external factors, creating conditions for its development. In the meantime, after the completion of the stage of its formation, the issue of increasing its role in the processes of democratization of public relations in Ukraine is urgent.

However, in our opinion, not enough attention is paid to the participation of civil society in the system of adoption of the PMD. Therefore, this issue requires further scientific and theoretical understanding and practical analysis.

According to the results of the study, it is proved that it is necessary to deepen the cooperation of civil society with the government in order to adopt and implement effective and appropriate for the state PMDs.
