The object of this research is an interaction between public and government within the Russian regional policy, and the subject is the essence and content of social partnership as an integrated (value-normative, institutional and communicative) phenomenon that forms a co-development model in the interaction between public and government of regional societies. The authors analyze the historical tradition, continuity and novelty in the understanding of partnership interaction, as well as substantively characterize the current state of social partnership in The Russian Federation, and also indicate the prospects for its development based on materials of sociological research and expert polls in Russian regions. The theoretical and methodological basis of the work was made by domestic and foreign studies of political scientists, sociologists and lawyers. The work uses ideological (phenomenological, sociocultural, systemic, etc.), general scientific (analysis, synthesis, analogy, etc.), as well as specific scientific (historical and political method, political modeling method) approaches and methods. The empirical basis of the research was sociological studies and expert surveys conducted in the regions of the Russian Federation.The authors argue that social partnership should be analyzed in three interrelated aspects: value (axiological), institutional (level of organization of social institutions and their interaction) and technological (level of socio-political forms of activity and specific practices). The work shows a positive trend in the regional socio-political consciousness, what is associated with an awareness of the importance and responsibility of all the subjects of the interaction between public and government in solving various problems of the development of a regional socio-economic and political space
