Journal Title: Journal of Intercultural Management and Ethics - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In the complicated historical-political circumstances of the democratization of the Central and Eastern European countries, this essay proposes the outline of a socio-cognitive model of strengthening democratic integration in the European Union. From the perspective of the interaction of society and knowledge, some socio-cultural landmarks of strengthening European democratic integration by increasing civic cohesion and moral solidarity are identified. Creative-dialogic thinking is the operational center that analyzes and designs solutions to strengthening civic cohesion and democratic integration. The communicative-securing interaction is the linguistic instrument by which the implementation of the creative-dialogical thinking in the society takes place. The culture of mutual recognition and "well tempered" ideology are the socio-cultural landmarks that offer openness and meaning of strengthening democratic integration and civic cohesion in the European Union. The purpose of this socio-cognitive model is the operationalization and testing of its socio-cultural landmarks - the creative-dialogic thinking, communicative-securing interaction, culture of mutual recognition, "well tempered" ideology - in interdisciplinary researches and case studies.
