Abstract

The article is devoted to questions of political and cultural communication of civil society institutions with territorial communities (or their parts), state authorities, and local self-government bodies. The conclusion is drawn first of all about the negative impact of the model of a democratized model implemented in Ukraine on processes in the political space of local democracy. The inadequate awareness and passivity of citizens, misinformation, violation of the channels of interaction, and communicative barriers are an obstacle to the formation of a civic culture of local democracy, inherent in such a model. Second, the key to establishing a dialogue in a locally-democratic political space is the active participation of civil society institutions in addressing issues of local importance.
