POST-NATIONAL REVOLUTION AND ITS POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES

Journal Title: Athenaeum. Polskie Studia Politologiczne - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 56

Abstract

Western Europe of the early 21st century is going through a process that is sometimes referred to as “the arrival of the Third Wave civilization”, that is the information civilization. The civilizational transformations result in two “revolutions” – post-national and post-industrial. Just like the 19th-century national and industrial revolutions, they involve deep social changes and consequently provoke resistance and a wave of counter-mobilisation against the upcoming “new order” – global, post-national, and post-industrial. The basic assumption of this article is that the classical theoretical schemes developed by Stein Rokkan and Seymour Lipset may come as analytical tools useful in explaining contemporary political phenomena. Rokkan’s theory seems to be the analytical model that is still helpful in explaining the election behaviours well as political conflicts and divisions present within current political systems, and its heuristic power is high.
