Політичні трансформації у посткомуністичних державах ЦСЄ: теоретичні та методологічні підходи
Journal Title: Історико-політичні проблеми сучасного світу - Year 2016, Vol 33, Issue
Abstract
Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of political transformations in the CEE post-communist countries have been analyzed. The author argues that democratic transits do not guar-antee transition to democracy and its consolidation. They are just polymorphic conversion processes from one political state to another, where the final destination is not always a democracy. They are influenced by general international factors, which allows us to consider the democratic transits, which may not consolidate into democracy, as integral components of the modern global democratic wave. Their real democratic value is not a definite variable. Political realities indicate that some of the trans-its proceed to illiberal democracy and hybrid regimes with different (non-) democratic features or of-ten with versions of a new authoritarianism. In electoral democracies, only the external, formal sides of the democracy and democratic procedures are imitated, especially elections, which does not give grounds to relate these regimes to the democratic ones.
