The state and society: the conceptual foundations and social interaction in the context of formation and functioning of states

Abstract. Scientifically and practically speaking, the state and society have much in common and yet have even more specific features each, which is due to their mission and specific character of their functions. The individual, citizen severely «suffers» in case of biased understanding and performance of such functions since: a) their rights and freedoms are not secured; b) the primary human right to manage and control all government and social processes is not exercised; с) civil society remains undeveloped and undemocratized. The author believes and tries to prove that the said problems should be defined in political and legal, social and organizational, spiritual and moral, and other terms, as well as by identifying objective factors and creating proper conditions for ensuring close cooperation of the state and society for the sake of maximum self actualization of citizens and ensuring their stable untroubled life.
