Financing of Culture as one of the Ways for Solving Socio-Cultural Problems

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to study the forms of state participation in financing of culture in order to solve socio-cultural problems in the context of decentralization. The methodology of the research is characterized by a complex combination of general scientific (formal-logical, method of analysis and synthesis), philosophical (dialectical) and special (comparative, formal-legal) methods, which gave an opportunity to study the experience of other states and Ukraine in the sphere of state participation in financing of culture to overcome socio-cultural problems. The scientific novelty of the work lies in carrying out a comprehensive study of the state's participation in the financing of culture in Ukraine and in the world in order to overcome socio-cultural problems in the context of decentralization reform, and defining the forms of such participation. Conclusions. Ukraine takes direct and indirect participation in financing the culture in order to overcome socio-cultural problems regarding the decline of spirituality and prevention of a humanitarian catastrophe. The main forms of state participation in financing the culture include direct budget financing (at the expense of state and local budgets). Indirect participation provides certain special rights for more efficient use of own funds by budgetary institutions – cultural institutions.
