Abstract

The paper analyses various approaches to measuring the attitudes of Ukraine’s citizens towards certain types of party systems and presents the most reliable indicators for identifying these attitudes in empirical studies. Drawing upon the above-mentioned indicators along with the data of nationwide surveys conducted by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems and a polling company SOCIS during 1997–2000, by the “Democratic Initiatives” Foundation jointly with “Ukrainian Sociology Service”, as well as by the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine during 2008–2017, the author tracks changes in respondents’ attitudes towards different party systems. At the moment, the overwhelming majority of Ukraine’s citizens favour a multiparty system with three to five political parties as the most preferable option.
