Journal Title: Вісник Одеського національного університету. Соціологія і політичні науки - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
Internal complicated ethnic and political population structure of Ukraine, its geopolitical position with related border-straddling problems and oppositely directed inner political forces, total corruption are just the most common challenging factors in the development of our state. External context of Ukraine’s secession from the USSR and refocusing on European values has brought even more obstacles than its inside disputes. Global economic crisis, Russia who has reinstituted its super-power status, NATO’s intention to use Ukraine in its showdown with Russia, warfare in the Middle East resulted in unexpected stream of refugees to Europe and further activation of terrorists there obstruct the process of European integration for our state. One more challenging obstacle is civilization imbalance between the societies of Ukraine and united Europe. The scientists claim that modern Europe is currently in the historical period of post modernity. The current state of Ukrainian society does not come within such definition. Main tasks of this research are the following: to outline the character of changes currently happening in European societies of post modernity and to compare with them the transformation tendencies in Ukrainian society in order to reveal approach points and gaps in relations of these actors, especially the emerging up-to-date threats and dangers. Individualistic trends highlight the problem of order maintenance, national security and political stability of the states. Security of post modern societies fully depends on national intelligence services. Inside our state permanent conflictual coups and warfare divert resources and efforts for military power what harmfully affects specialization training of intelligence service.
