Abstract
Aim. Analysis of the institutional aspect of the mechanism of state intervention in society and the economy.
Methodology. The key research method was content analysis. The analysis of the content of the key functions of the state to ensure the integrity (stability, stability) of the human community is carried out on the basis of the works of representatives of the economic institutional theory D. North, A. Alchian, M. Blaug.
Results. It is shown that as the systems of human society become more complex, associated with the coronovirus pandemic, the state objectively became atomized within society and improved formal institutions as a dialectic of punishment and reward mechanisms. The relevance of the violation of the dialectics of the state and society, when the state unilaterally structures socially acceptable norms of people’s behavior, giving rise to a societal crisis, is substantiated.
Research implications lies in the disclosure of the fundamental causes of the societal crisis, predetermined by the violation of dialectics in the relationship between the state and society, the state and citizens as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
