PUBLIC ASSOCIATIONS' INTERACTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RUSSIAN YOUTH POLICY MODERNIZATION
The article is devoted to the analysis of interactions between different forms of youth associations in the modern Russian society. Public sphere interpretation is based on the conflict theories and is considered as an arena for contesting for limited resources, as a sphere of conflicts, involving both individuals and communities. Relying on theoretical analysis and empirical data, the author tends to reveal the nature of barriers and contradictions, obstructing seamless integration of public associations into the system of state youth policy and implementation of youth's innovative potential.
