The organization of social partnership is a necessary condition for the establishment of civil society.

The authors set the following tasks: determination of the diverse practices of organization of social partnership in the Western European countries; analysis of the conditions of organization of partnership between the authorities and society; identification of the main trends and issues within the practice of realization of social partnership. The analysis of the practices of organization of social partnership in various spheres of life was conducted in such countries as the United States, Canada, France, Great Britain, Germany, Finland, and Belgium. It is noted that the nonprofit organizations are largely involved in organization of social partnership in the social sphere abroad through the application of the following mechanisms: state subsidies, grant support, loans for additional education and training, government allowance, tax breaks. It is also highlighted that using such mechanisms, the government directly affects the work of the nonprofit organizations. The latter, as the members of such partnership, mark the problem of tender security for negotiating the state contracts.
