Abstract

The increasing participation of civil society institutes in the development of communities is the leading direction of the European Union (EU) regional policy. This paper argues that the interests of a member of community in the state are grounded on “the triad of interests”: interest of a territorial community (public interest); interest of a community (common interest based on individual interests); interest of a community member (individual interest). The value orientations of a community establish the selection criteria of the community’s development vector. The paper explains the role of civil society in the process of solution of the issues of local importance. The instruments of civil participation in making the decisions of local importance are defined and the experience of their use in the EU countries is outlined. The impact of a community’s life in cross-border space on its development is proven. The paper provides important development aspects in the process of a community’s life organization like leadership development, institutional development and development of cooperation, as well as partnership and networks.
