- Abstract
The paper focuses on the institutional interaction in the network society. At this stage of Ukraine’s political development, the process of further institutionalization (formation of institutions of a democratic society) requires the improvement of mechanisms of institutional interaction. First of all, it is about the interaction between the parliament, the president and the government, which takes place against the background of the institutionalization of the opposition and interest groups. Its main participants, which decisively influence the effectiveness of institutional interaction, include public authorities, the opposition and interest groups. It is these agents that this article focuses on. Modern institutional design is formed in the process of interaction between public authorities, the opposition and interest groups. This interaction is communicative. Therefore, this study combines institutional and communicative dimensions of political development. This led to use neo-institutional methodology, especially – historical institutionalism, the institutionalism of rational choice. From the point of view of historical institutionalism, the effectiveness of institutional interaction depends on the “path traveled”, and representatives of rational choice institutionalism focus on opportunistic behavior and rent-seeking by public authorities in the process of institutional interaction. The main feature of effective governance is not just the presence of certain institutions, but ensuring their communication in order to solve pressing socio-political problems. The requirement to increase the effectiveness of communicative interaction is becoming a priority for post-Soviet countries.
