The beginning of the 1990s was a time of geopolitical transformations. The collapse of the Soviet Union led to formation of new states that entered the path of democratization, and Ukraine was not an exception. Despite almost 30 years of independence, Ukraine remains a weak democracy. The reason of that, along with other problems, are peculiarities of political culture of citizens. Notwithstanding, weakness of political culture could be changed into the greatest advantage in the process of maturing of democracy in Ukraine.
ZNACZENIE OBYWATELSKIEJ KULTURY POLITYCZNEJ W PROCESIE DEMOKRATYZACJI. STUDIUM PRZYPADKU – UKRAINA
Początek lat 90. to czas przemian geopolitycznych. Upadek Związku Radzieckiego doprowadził do powstania nowych państw, które weszły na ścieżkę demokratyzacji – Ukraina nie była wyjątkiem. Pomimo prawie 30 lat niepodległości Ukraina nadal posiada słabą demokrację. Powodem tego, wraz z innymi problemami, jest specyfika obywatelskiej kultury politycznej. Mimo to słabość kultury politycznej może być zmieniona w największą zaletę w procesie dojrzewania demokracji na Ukrainie.
