The importance and role of socio - political organizations, movements, associations in the development of civil society

Civil society is society in which the protagonist and subject of occurring processes in it, and relations is the man with the whole system's needs, interests and values. This term also denotes the totality of public relations of existing independently of the state and its organs: political, economic, cultural, ethnic, religious, family and other. The civil society aim is to protect the interests of every member of society, representation of his interests in the face of the authorities and society, public oversight of the government and the formation of domestic and foreign policy of the society.

Associations is political parties, trade unions and other associations of citizens that were established on a voluntary basis in order to achieve their common goals and not inconsistent with law. Public associations are non-profit organizations.

Social movements are a non-State entities that bring people together with the same interests and professions. Social movements and organizations differ in many ways: in its objectives, functions, the place of business; the types and methods of work; the nature of occurrence, according to the methods of organization, and so on. Social and political movements and organizations are divided according to purpose into revolutionary and counter-revolutionary, reformist and conservative national-democratic, general democratic, ecological.

They are divided by spheres of activity: economic, social, national, international, religious, scientific, educational, and others. They are distinguished by the place of business: local, regional, national, international, operating in Parliament, within the management structures, in the system of educational and scientific institutions, religious environment.

Social and political movements and organizations are divided by the nature of the emergence into natural and consciously organized; by the method of organization they are divided into clubs, associations, associations, unions, fronts; by the social composition : youth, women, professional. They are designed to perform two major tasks: a) the expression and realization of group interests; b) ensuring the participation of members of a particular group or community in the management of public affairs and government. Appearance's root causes of social movements and organizations are dissatisfaction of group needs and interests through the activities of government institutions and political parties, the presence of intractable structures of power and control of economic and socio-cultural issues. The presence of a variety of social needs and interests by itself does not lead to the emergence of social movements and organizations.

Social and social-political movements and organizations emerge on the basis of social and group interests, under the conditions of development of self-awareness of various social groups.

In the complex, difficult times, people are soaked by ideological contradictions are grouped into protest movements and organizations in the beginning. Then, there are start to appear popular fronts, unions, mass movements. Further, movements and organizations are formed both outside and within the political system integrate.

In general, the term "socio-political movement" covers various associations of citizens, associations, unions, fronts, that are not included directly in the state and party structures, but they are in one way or another subject of political life, combining the functions of varying degrees of cooperation of opposition and criticism, opposition and struggle against state institutions and political parties. It covers a wide range of associations -from that have a direct impact on the political decision-making, are characterized by high level of organization, structuring, till political, that are not having a well-organized nucleus. This diversity is a challenge with the typology of movements, analyzing their causes, ideological and political positions, social base, and relations with the authorities. However, you can highlight the most common signs of social and political movements that distinguish them from the party. Ideological and political orientation of the movements is much broader and much more purpose and more specifically than the parties. This allows people with different political views to participate in the movement, but support a particular political purpose for the solution of which the movement was created and operates. This makes the ability to acquire large scale by movements. Movements usually don't have united program and charter. They differ in the volatility of number of participants. Movements usually do not have a strong center, unified structure, discipline. The core of the movements might be independent initiative groups and committees or commissions established parties. They rely on unorganized mass, may also be supported by various social organizations and autonomous associations of some parties. Social and political movements seek to influence the authorities, but they usually do not gain power. In general, the basic of movements is the solidarity and voluntary of participants

There is a growth and strengthening of a role of political movements that speaks about involvement of huge number of people in policy. People on a voluntary basis unite in associations (associations, the unions, the organizations, the centers, clubs, funds, etc.), the associations making civil society . These associations exist independently from the state, but within current laws in the state. Thus, the activities of public organizations and movements are a real indicator of the formation process of democratization of the political system, civil society, as well as the development of self-government.
