Abstract

ABSTRACT Aiming to analyse the peculiarities of the decentralization process in Ukraine, this article focuses on the quality of changes taking place within the local self-government system in the context of democratization. I attempt to answer whether the democratic values contained in the Ukrainian Constitution and separate laws, as well as the European Charter of Local Self-Government, are observed in practice by utilizing the system analysis method combined with elements of the synergetic paradigm. I find that the decentralization process is characterized as nonlinear, chaotic and contradictory. However, the ever increasingly frequent manifestations of local democracy occurring within the analysed system have a positive impact on the effects of its democratization. The analysis of the practical dimension of the functioning of the Ukrainian local self-government made it possible to distinguish the main conditions influencing the nature and results of the decentralization process.

漫长而艰难的权力下放之路:乌克兰地方自治改革的过去、现在和未来

摘要:本文旨在分析乌克兰分权进程的特点，重点关注民主化背景下地方自治制度内发生的变化的质量。我试图通过结合协同范式要素的系统分析方法来回答乌克兰宪法和单独法律以及欧洲地方自治宪章中所包含的民主价值观在实践中是否得到遵守。我发现去中心化过程具有非线性、混沌和矛盾的特点。然而，在所分析的系统内出现的日益频繁的地方民主现象对其民主化的效果产生了积极的影响。对乌克兰地方自治政府运作的实际层面的分析使我们能够区分影响权力下放进程的性质和结果的主要条件。

期刊介绍： The aim of the journal is to establish a line of communication with these regions of Europe. Previously isolated from the European mainstream, the Balkan and Black Sea regions are in need of serious comparative study as are the individual countries, no longer "at the edge" of Europe. The principal disciplines covered by the journal are politics, political economy, international relations and modern history; other disciplinary approaches are accepted as appropriate. The journal will take both an academic and also a more practical policy-oriented approach and hopes to compensate for the serious information deficit on the countries under consideration.
