Abstract

Political life experience in democratic countries proves the need of Ukrainian society to adapt to the world globalization processes in the perspective of recognizing Ukraine as a democratic state in the world community. Changes and transformations are always under influence of the globalization process which takes place in all spheres of life: economic, political, social etc. Actuality of the article is determined by the fact that globalization process is influential in dynamic transformation of social life. It is evident that historically formed social policy model in democratic and economically developed countries requires change and transformation in accordance to challenges of the present day. Special attention deserves the social sphere, as mechanisms for the implementation in social policy and social protection of the population of our country need to be changed. This problem refers not only to providing political situation stabilization, raising the level of public trust to state activities in the social sphere, but also in establishing the interaction between people and state institutions as subjects of public policy. We believe that problem of transformations and changes in social policy in democratic state is important in the era of globalization and transformational change, especially for Ukrainian state which aims to develop a democratic way.

Summary

Introduction

Today concepts of modernization are defined by socio-cultural character. In the context of modernization, it involves reorientation of public relations to the distribution of integral values (social state, humanism, aw-governed state, an individual freedom, human rights, etc.) (Tsvetkov V., Gorbatenko B., 2001 : 17). The research of "human dimension" in social policy, it's modernization and transformation in modern democracies is relevant In this context problem of making a model of social policy in Ukraine and identifying the trends of its transformation of democratization is very important. The problem of perspective development cannot be solved without considering the changes in the social sphere of society, forecasting the development of relations between the individual and the state and the determination of the basic foundations of the modernization of social policy. At the present stage of transformation of Ukrainian society in the direction of the effective operation and improvement of the welfare state priority is the creation of effective socially oriented institutional system that allows citizens to choose between public (institutions of the legislative and executive branches of government, labor exchange) and non-state (private insurance and pension companies, philanthropic foundations, NGOs) institutions (Barapasha V., 2008: 150-157)
