Abstract

The article deals with the problem of political governance in the context of the network approach. It is shown that the demand for scientific understanding of the network society is associated with the urgent need to find new models of management. Attention is drawn to the fact that the network approach in political science is currently actively used in the analysis of political governance, the functioning of political institutions. In the conditions of networking, the role of civil society is changing; other forms of realization of political, state and public power appear; our ideas about the algorithms of the political process are changing. Network society changes not only the logic of thinking of modern man, but also the logic of political management of society. There is a formation of a new type of elite-network political elite, which is characterized by network logic of decision-making. It is concluded that the future of political governance is for network models based on the network paradigm.
