Abstract

The article reviews the main models of interaction between authorities and business structures in Russia. The analysis of the main models of the relationships between the authorities and entrepreneurs is made. The biased model, the privatization of power model, the lobbying model, the ignoring model, and the state patronage model are analyzed. The study also considers the transformation of forms and models of interaction between government and business authorities according to the time period and the level of power. The main factors obstructing the transition from dominant and competitive models of interaction to forming partnerships between the authorities and business on mutually beneficial terms are identified. Those include imperfection of the regulatory and legal framework, socioeconomic and political instability in the state, complex multi-stage implementation of public- private partnership, as well as imperfection of the long-term planning system at the state level.
