Moskal'chuk E.I. Strategies of cooperation of the non-government organizations with the government in the Russian Federation

Abstract: The subject of this research is the international consulting activity of the non-governmental organizations (NGO). The main access of NGO to the international arena is the cooperation with the international governmental organizations. This cooperation is formally established with attainment of the consultative status (as the United Nations Economic and Social Council of the UN) or other official status. NGOs that operate on the international arena represent a particular group of organizations; they are identified by specific relationship with the government. In turn, the government adheres to a certain vector with such NGOs. This article reviews precisely the Russian NGOs, which conduct an international consulting activity; it based on the results of the sociological research via the method of expert interviews. The research was conducted in the spring of 2015; overall, 12 experts, representing the Russian NGOs or the government authorities that cooperate with these NGOs, participated in the survey. The scientific novelty consists in the examination of a particular group of NGOs that revolve in the international consulting field. The author’s main conclusion is that the Russian government structures collaborate with the Russian NGOs by following the general line, which can be describes as the line of resource support. There are two strategies characteristic to the Russian NGOs with regards to the government authorities: the strategy of active cooperation, and the strategy of limited cooperation.
