Abstract
<jats:p>Political participation is one of the main concepts in the study of political science, and at different times a number of theorists have interpreted it with a different theoretical and methodological approach. As a result of modern socio-political transformations, the theoretical analysis of the problem of participation shows that under the conditions of globalization, the forms and principles of people's involvement in political life are gradually changing, and the traditional tools and concepts of the exercise of power are being revised. The full interaction of civil society institutions with other actors of the socio-political system gradually leads to the institutionalization of participation and the provision of operational procedures. That is, each of the institutions, cooperating with other elements of the social system (legal, social, economic, political, etc.), will be able to provide structures of a civilized civil society.</jats:p>
