Abstract
In the context of modern global challenges in public administration, the problem of the mechanism of interaction between civil society and state authorities becomes extremely important for ensuring sustainable development and social well-being. Therefore, the relevance of this study is determined by the need to find an effective strategy to increase effective and transparent communication of interaction between the public and local self-government bodies. The purpose of the work is to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of public management mechanisms in the context of interaction between the authorities and the public based on international experience, as well as to develop effective ways and strategies for the further application of participation tools. The work uses a set of methods, such as the analysis of statistical data, the comparative method, as well as population surveys. First of all, it was established that authorities and local governments should create favorable conditions for the development of public initiatives, avoid interference in the formation and activities of civil society institutions, use transparent mechanisms to support their work, as well as involve the public in the adoption and implementation of government decisions. Thus, such communication will become a guarantee of the development of our state, strengthening of its economic potential and defense capability. Special attention was paid to the mechanisms of public involvement in decision-making in the Mykolaiv City Council, and effective advisory councils and their functions were defined. This made it possible to propose modern forms of participation to promote the functioning of public services in the studied community. The practical significance of this work is that the research results can serve as a basis for the development and implementation of effective public management strategies and programs in the context of communicative interaction between the authorities and the public, which will contribute to their sustainable social and economic development.
