Institutionalization of civil society: the concept and approaches to the definition
Journal Title: ИДЕИ. ФИЛОСОФСКО СПИСАНИЕ - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Different approaches to understanding the concept of civil society in works of foreign and domestic scholars are analyzed; the genesis and modern interpretations of the concept of "civil society" through institutional dimension are shown. It is noted that the centuries-old tradition of the study of civil society still hadn’t managed to develop a common and overall acceptable vision, so the debate about the content of the definition of this phenomenon, its structure and functions continues, and present in scientific literature definitions are varied. At the same time, most researchers agree with the thesis that civil society is characterized by a single value system that fixes its division with the state, both through the increase of freedom and expansion of social equality, and through the restructuring and democratization of the state. The concept of "civil society institution" is regarded as a specific form of self-organization that regulates the processes beyond the scope of the state through certain rules and regulations. It is shown that in certain aspects Ukrainian society repeats in a "minimized" form the experience of Western countries, but in many ways it goes its own way. In contrast to Western countries, where all processes were mostly gradual and organic, the elements of civil society which occur in Ukraine are much more fragmented, not balanced and in many cases suffer a substantial ambivalence, and copying of certain organizational forms do not always lead to a development of their sense.
