    Abstract

    Publicprivate partnership in all its manifestations has found distribution in the world – as a tool for creating a new infrastructure for organizing public works and services. The dynamics of this process in each country depends on the politics, on the desire to cooperate with business on the basis of economic and social consensus, the position of civil society. The variety of approaches to public-private partnerships, the uncertainty of this concept, are the result of the lack of a unified approach in international documents. Since there is no single approach to the term "public-private partnership", an attempt is made to reflect the most common expressive qualities of this cooperation, which characterizes various forms of interaction between public authorities and the private sector as PPPs.

    Abstract

    As we know nowadays in many publications of social sciences, as well as in mass media and public discourse, the idea of civil society often associated with the process of democratization. Thus, in the processes of democratization the limitations of liberalistic paradigm, which dominates in CS sphere, actualize the extension of organizational framework of the CS by combining the critical and analytical potential of liberal democratic discourse with actionalistic and functional meanings, which are crucial in neoclassical conceptions of CS. The model, which is elaborated through this synthesis, will promote a formulation of new mechanisms between CS and governmental institutions, which in turn will increase CS influence on the process of democratization of the governmental policy.

    Abstract

    In the country economic growth is characterized as not qualitative, and the structure of the economy needs to be improved. In strategic sectors of the real sector of economy investments were not effectively allocated and did not contribute to economic development. In the sectors, sensitive to economic growth, an efficient allocation of investment can promote high-quality economic growth and development. Sectorial estimates of the elasticity of economic growth show that in the post-crisis period, the agricultural and industrial sectors showed considerable resilience and flexibility.

    Abstract

    The current era is distinguished by the unprecedented intensity of processes, changes, and developments, which partially condition the uncertainty, and social instability. The chaos of information flows, which is the source of permanent tensions, anxieties, fears deepens and brings about systematic continuity to them. The modern multidimensional man is the bearer of the many unpredictable risks resulting from the unstable, uncertain relations of the new century. In his turn, the modern RA citizen being the part of the above-mentioned processes is the bearer of the vulnerabilities and threats of the new system of values and norms, public relations, neo-liberal market economy, political management emerging parallelly with independence, as well as the ongoing Karabagh conflict. The mutilation of the institutional reproduction in the Armenian society, the deep social distrust and the large-scale individualization inherent to these conditions leave the citizens alone with their problems. As a result, only personal, limited strategies are formulated to resist, overcome and most importantly establish security, which deepens the social fragmentation, regulatory uncertainty, and instability. As a result, we lose the possibility to have a harmoniously collaborating social entity, which is of vital importance to the maintaining of the long-term security in Armenia
