Political essence of constructive civil initiatives of non-governmental non-profit organizations

https://doi.org/10.32324/2412-8945-2024-4-50-57

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of constructivization of initiatives of non-state non-profit organizations in the context of the increasing need of modern states to counteract the manifestations of undesirable political activities of the third sector. Constructive civic initiatives of non-state non-profit organizations are directed to public authorities in order to meet the non-material needs of target groups, corresponding to the foundations of the constitutional order and values of national statehood, implemented in forms and technologies that are not prohibited by law and ethical norms. At the same time, the authors fomulated the following, allowing to differentiate constructive civic initiatives of these organizations from destructive manifestations of their socio-political activities: correspondence of the essence of the initiative to the basic values of the national statehood; the format of expression of civic initiative, which is not prohibited by law and meets the norms of public ethics. The study proves that, contrary to the opinion of domestic representatives of liberal thought, civil initiatives of the «protest public» do not serve as a «trigger mechanism» for democratization in non-Western countries (including Russia), and most often grow into destructive actions in relation to the idea of national statehood. It is concluded that it is necessary to introduce into Russian political science and practice the category of «constructive civic initiatives of non-state actors».
