Government and business: the search for new forms of cooperation

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse changes in the relationship between business and the state and their new mission - sustainable development. The authors believe that these questions should be included in research explorations as they see more and more problems with globalization, the financial crisis, and the lack of a new role for business and the state in the social sphere and the definition of the spheres of influence of various market factors. The methods of analysis, comparison and an interdisciplinary approach were all applied. The article discusses the problems of a new social phenomenon: “market - the state - business”,the authors’ views on the contemporary role of each institution, their interaction in the process of ensuring sustainable development. Particular attention is paid to the new role of business in the social sphere. The authors argue that a new interpretation of the present role of the state is needed in order to secure sustainable development.
