The topicality of the topic is determined by the need to study and borrow European experience for the improvement of public administration and the development of civil society in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to research models of interaction between the authorities and civil society in the countries of the European Union. Considering their impact on increasing the efficiency of management, the transparency of state institutions and the participation of citizens in decision-making processes. The study examines key models of interaction, such as partnerships, consultation mechanisms and public control mechanisms, as well as their practical implementation in different EU countries. The main models of interaction developed and used in EU countries: corporatist model, pluralistic model, institutional model, Mediterranean model, Scandinavian model, French model, Central and Eastern European model. Special attention is paid to the advantages and challenges arising from the implementation of these models. Attention is focused on the importance of adapting European experience to the specific conditions of Ukraine, particularly in the context of modern political and social challenges. It is highlighted how effective models of interaction can contribute to the development of democratic processes, strengthening trust in the authorities and improving management in crisis conditions. The results of the study can be useful for the development of strategies for the interaction of the state and civil society in Ukraine, in particular in the conditions of post-war reconstruction. Because the introduction of European models of interaction can not only contribute to the recovery of the country, but also become an important step on the way to deeper democratization and strengthening of civil society institutions.
