dc.abstract.en | The article, authored by Ukrainian and Polish social researchers, analyses normative approaches towards understanding models of democracy and their relation to civic space. Despite the existence of multiple models of democracy, they can largely be reduced to two main forms: direct and representative democracy. Deliberative democracy is posited as a third form, which, according to some scientists, combines elements of representative, direct, and participatory democracy. The analysis is based on the assessment of democracy and civic space in Ukraine, utilising data from six applied international social studies, as well as the evaluation of the modern characteristics of some components of Ukrainian civic space. According to the rating of CIVICUS Monitor, Ukraine has been classified in the category of countries where the civic space is “obstructed” from 2019 to the present time (Autumn 2023). Currently, the advancement of civic space in Ukraine towards more favourable forms of freedom of association, peaceful assembly, and expression of opinion in the country are threatened by several factors simultaneously. The article also uses the results of the authors’ previous and current academic research, as well as the results of twenty years of advocacy and analytical work as public experts in Ukraine and Europe. | |
dc.abstract.other | У статті української та польської соціальних дослідниць проаналізовано нормативні підходи до трактування моделей демократії та громадського простору, а також показано взаємозв’язок між громадським простором і демократією. Незважаючи на існування множинності моделей демократії, в цілому їх можна звести до двох основних форм реалізації демократії: пряма демократія і представницька демократія. На роль третьої форми претендує деліберативна (дорадча) демократія, яка, на думку деяких вчених, поєднує в собі елементи представницької демократії, прямої демократії та демократії участі. Аналіз ґрунтується на оцінці демократії та громадського простору в Україні, що спирається на дані шести емпіричних міжнародних соціальних досліджень, а також розгляді сучасної характеристики деяких складових українського громадського простору. Згідно з рейтингом CIVICUS Monitor, Україна входить до категорії країн, де громадський простір є «ускладненим» починаючи з 2019 року по теперішній час (осінь 2023). Наразі просуванню громадського простору до більш сприятливих форм свободи асоціації, мирних зібрань і вираження думок у країні загрожує декілька факторів одночасно, з домінуючою роллю, яку має повномасштабна війна Росії проти України. | |

dc.description.abstract | <jats:p>The article, authored by Ukrainian and Polish social researchers, analyses normative approaches towards understanding models of democracy and their relation to civic space. Despite the existence of multiple models of democracy, they can largely be reduced to two main forms: direct and representative democracy.Deliberative democracy is posited as a third form, which, according to some scientists, combines elements of representative, direct, and participatory democracy. The analysis is based on the assessment of democracy and civic space in Ukraine, utilising data from six applied international social studies, as well as the evaluation of the modern characteristics of some components of Ukrainian civic space. According to the rating of CIVICUS Monitor, Ukraine has been classified in the category of countries where the civic space is «obstructed» from 2019 to the present time (Autumn 2023). Currently, the advancement of civic space in Ukraine towards more favourable forms of freedom of association, peaceful assembly, and expression of opinion in the country are threatened by several factors simultaneously, with the dominant role being Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.During the martial law and in the post-war context of Ukraine, civil society acts as an indispensable ally of the authorities in the process of democratic reconstruction. Civil society organizations (CSOs) represent a wide range of social interests, ensuring that the voices of different groups and segments of thepopulation are heard and taken into account. Their broad base allows them to bridge the gap between government and citizens, helping to build trust and ensuring transparency. CSOs have a proven track record of institutional monitoring, which is a critical factor in preserving and strengthening democratic values in a post-conflict environment.The article also uses the results of the authors' previous and current academic research*, as well as the results of twenty years of advocacy and analytical work as public experts in Ukraine and Europe. ==== *Remark. The Ukrainian author relies on the results of her own previous and current academic research within the H. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and analytical studies as a public expert, and the research of the Polish co-author was supported by the National Science Center (research project 2019/33/B/HS5/02648).</jats:p> | |
