Abstract

The emerging network society (in a broad sense) actualizes the request for the processes of self-organization of social systems within management schemes, increasing the value of the communicative efficiency of state / municipal management. And this sets new formats in modern public administration, which is mastering the alphabet of directed influence, the factors of smart, soft regulation and coordination of public processes that reduce the negative potential of the contradiction between the monopolism of administrative and bureaucratic power structures and the growing variety of civil initiatives in the public sphere. Thus, public administration in this capacity cannot be anything other than co-governance. The growing autonomy and multi-vector nature of public participation in these conditions is increasingly focused on the actualization of the concepts of co-management and coordination as the main forms of managerial influence, which imply the interdependence and interest of actors in joint actions. The advantage of joint actions lies in the effect of synergy, a kind of surplus value obtained as a result of such actions, which significantly reduce social tension and conflict potential of interaction.
