The involvement of civil society in state-building is a kind of starting point for introducing innovations and active state-building. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive examination of the interplay between the state and civil society within the state-building process, particularly in the context of contemporary global challenges. This study shows how technological advancements and socio-political dynamics shape and influence state-building efforts. The article aims to examine the specific interactions between civil society and the state, identify the main directions of influence of globalization, information technology, political, economic, and socio-cultural factors on state-building, and suggest practical recommendations that can enhance state-building processes.
