Theoretical and Legal Principles of Interaction between Public Authorities and the Public Under the Legal Regime of Martial Law

Abstract

The concept of civil society became relevant again at the end of the twentieth century due to the development of democratization, digitalization, and globalization. Today, the issue of public participation in addressing issues of public importance is increasingly associated with electronic petitions, public consultations and discussions, public expertise, etc. The problem of interaction between public authorities and the public in the field of regional planning requires a broad interdisciplinary understanding not only at the level of infrastructure projects, but also in the field of mobilization training and mobilization, identification and solution of humanitarian problems of the population in the de-occupied territories under martial law. Along with public authorities and the public, the world of technology and artificial intelligence is gaining more and more independence, which is becoming more and more independent of the regulatory and coordinating influence of a person, organization, or state from the platform of interaction, the object of influence. At the same time, social networks are reaching an increasing number of people and are being monetized, which necessitates a more comprehensive, strategic vision of the interaction of public authorities with social networks. For the sake of better understanding of the theoretical and legal framework for interaction between public authorities and the public under martial law, an attempt was made to comprehend the problems that occurred in the field of public relations under study before the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, and which also emerged as a new challenge during the period under study, generating the relevant social transformations.
