The problem of defining the concept of “interaction between the state and business”

The purpose of this study is to define the concept of “interaction between the state and business”. The need to establish the content of the required definition is dictated by the lack of its legislative interpretation. In order to achieve this goal, the regulatory definition given in the Federal Law of July 13, 2015 No. 224-FZ “On public-private partnership, municipal-private partnership in the Russian Federation and amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation” was analyzed, and also various doctrinal interpretations of this definition. As a result of the study, the author’s independent definition of the concept of “interaction between the state and business” is presented.
