Partnership of the political elite and civil society institutions in the implementation of the sustainable development goals of the Republic of Adygea

Annotation

This article examines the mechanisms of interaction between the political elite and civil society institutions in achieving sustainable development goals, using the Republic of Adygea as an example. Existing forms of partnership are analyzed, including the activities of the political elite, the Public Chamber, scientific and educational institutions, and non-profit organizations in the region. Particular attention is paid to the role of the political elite and public participation in achieving a balance between economic growth, social justice, and environmental stability. The theoretical basis of the study is the triune concept of sustainable development, based on the interaction and interdependence of economic, social, and environmental components. A review of key projects and areas of sustainable development in the Republic of Adygea is provided. Problems and challenges associated with harmoniously combining sustainable development and the preservation of natural capital are identified. In this analysis, the author examines the initial results of the regional program “Heroes of Adygea”. It is concluded that Adygea's experience may be useful for other regions of Russia seeking to achieve sustainable development goals through effective interaction between the political elite and civil society. The practical significance of the article lies in identifying successful practices in partnership between the political elite and society, which can be used to develop sustainable development strategies for other regions of Russia.
