State Policy to Promote Civil Society Development in Ukraine

The article examines the process of forming the state policy of promoting civil society development in Ukraine, as well as its current directions. It is argued that in most developed democracies, there is a state policy to promote civil society. This is due to the realization that the activities of civil society institutions contribute to the reduction of paternalistic expectations of citizens, to the provision of socio-political stability, as well as to the formation of a high level of political culture. The state of civil society in Ukraine and the legal framework for the implementation of the state policy of promoting the development of civil society are analyzed. Today, the legal framework of the state policy of promoting civil society development is constituted by the Constitution of Ukraine, laws of Ukraine, decrees of the President of Ukraine, resolutions and orders of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, etc. The priority directions of the strategy of the state policy of promoting the development of civil society in Ukraine for the next period are offered in accordance with the current conditions and current challenges. The results of individual sociological surveys have been analyzed in the context of various aspects of the implementation of the state policy of promoting civil society development in Ukraine, problems and challenges have been identified. The strategy of the state policy for promoting the development of civil society in Ukraine for the next period (from 2021) should include: formation of an effective model of interaction between the state and civil society in Ukraine at three levels — national, regional, local; developing tools for involving citizens at decision-making at all levels; development of civic education in Ukraine; providing state financial support to civil society institutions; development of e-government; ensuring the effective response of law enforcement agencies to violations of the law on interaction with civil society by state bodies; continuation of work on implementation of measures aimed at implementation of international agreements.

CURRENT PROBLEMS OF CIVIL SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT AND THEIR IMPACT ON REFORMS TO ENSURE NATIONAL SECURITY IN UKRAINE

Civil society plays a significant role in attempts to build a functioning democracy, support the rule of law, and promote and protect rights, as well as remaining one of the main driving forces of reform. Civil society continues to cooperate with state agencies in the field of developing political programmes, and to a certain extent assumes some responsibility for the implementation reforms. Despite this, the involvement of civil society in certain areas still remains declarative. An innovative trend in the civil society development in Ukraine has been creation of CSOs and NGOs coalitions, aiming to consolidate and accelerate the implementation of reforms through methods of advocacy and cooperation with state authorities. In 2017–2018 there was tension between civil society and the government despite the implementation of the National Strategy for Facilitating the Civil Society Development, adopted in 2016, however. In 2019 there is a tendency for improvement in state-civil society relations since the Constitutional Court has declared unconstitutional the clauses of the law on preventing corruption, which obliged representatives of public anti-corruption organizations to submit their asset declarations. Moreover, it has become possible to register CSOs in Ukraine online free of charge at the Governmental portal, which is an important step forward to improving public service delivery and creating a better legal environment for civil society. Online services for civil society organizations would be developed and introduced, including online registration of charitable organizations, public associations, applications for non-profit status, etc. The article analyzes the state of development, problems and challenges of the civil society within the framework of the implementation of reforms and European integration of Ukraine , as well as the influence of civil society on reforms in Ukraine, in order to implement reforms, achieve socio-economic progress, and ensure the national security of Ukraine. Also, the article analyzes the how the reforms are assessed by population, and overviews the tendency of increasing trust in the CSO activities by the citizens of Ukraine.

ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ ПРИНЦИПУ ВЕРХОВЕНСТВА ПРАВА В СУДОВІЙ ПРАКТИЦІ

The article defines the concept of the principle of the rule of law both in the narrow and broad sense. In the narrow sense, the principle of the rule of law is understood as the rule of law over legislation, and in the broad sense - as the rule of law over the state, state arbitrariness. Different approaches to disclosing the content of the principle of the rule of law in national and European legal doctrines are systematized. The lack of a single generally accepted concept of the principle of "rule of law" is emphasized. The decisions of the European Court of Human Rights are analyzed; attention is focused on their interpretation of the rule of law. The realization of the principle of the rule of law, primarily presupposes the domination of inalienable and inviolable human rights and freedoms over the political power of the state, and also requires quality laws and observance of the principle of legal certainty. The interpretation of the principle of the rule of law in the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine is considered. The CCU emphasizes that the rule of law is first and foremost the "rule of law in society"; characterizes the principle, linking it to the ideas of social justice, freedom and equality, without which it is impossible to imagine true human development and existence. The Constitutional Court calls justice as one of the basic principles of law, which is crucial in defining it as a regulator of social relations, one of the universal dimensions of law. Examples of application of the rule of law in the practice of the Supreme Court of Ukraine are given. Judges not only make a formal reference to the rule of law, but also try to analyze and disclose the content of its constituent elements (requirements) within a specific legal case. The main problems that hinder the effective implementation and realization of the rule of law in judicial practice are identified, namely - the lack of proper regulation and official interpretation; low quality of laws and legislative process; excessive number of conflicting laws; low level of legal awareness and legal culture of Ukrainian society, and early stage of civil society development in Ukraine. It is concluded that the rule of law is a principle whose main content is expressed in the following aspects: ensuring the rule of law over political power; subordination of state institutions to the needs of human rights protection and ensuring their implementation; priority of these rights over all other values of democratic, social, and legal state; preventing the manifestation of arbitrariness of state power, as well as ensuring compliance with the requirements of justice.

УКРАЇНСЬКА НАЦІОНАЛЬНА ЕЛІТА ПОСТКОЛОНІАЛЬНОЇ ДОБИ: ГРОМАДЯНСЬКИЙ ВИМІР

The article analyzes the Ukrainian national elite of the postcolonial era through the prism of citizenship. In recent years, the interest in elitist issues has been grown significantly. In modern socio-humanitarian field, the issues of the elites’ role in the modern world, the criteria for evaluating different elite’s activity, the measure of their citizenship, patriotism and professionalism are often discussed. Positive social transformations in many respects depend on the qualitative state of modern Ukrainian elites, on their socio-political maturity, on their willingness and ability to consolidate Ukrainian society, on the level of their responsibility for the fate of Ukraine. The author of the article follows to the concept of plurality of elites (based on the idea of distinguishing elite groups in the fields of their leading activities), which enables the allocation of political, ideological, publicadministrative, military, economic and engineering, scientific, spiritual, medical, educational (pedagogical), cultural-artistic, religious, informational, sporting, etc. In the post-colonial period, all these elite groups must become an integral elements of the Ukrainian national elite. In article the citizen is analyzed as a subject of qualitative social transformations in the post-colonial period, as well as civil practices of self-organization of society in the context of modern transformational processes in Ukraine by the article. The phenomenon of civic activity of an elitist person is analyzed in a theoretical, methodological and empirical perspective. The article deals with theoretical and methodological bases, structure and development peculiarities of the civil position of the personality. Civil society is seen as a cultural and historical type of society. The peculiarities of its formation and functioning in post-colonial Ukraine are analyzed. The author suggests his own periodization of the civil society development in Ukraine. So, the Ukrainian national elite would become the true subject of decolonization of Ukraine and positive social transformations only when all its representatives will begin to perform their core functions in a responsible way: culture-creating, state-building, nation-building, as well as consolidating, creative-transforming, forecasting, motivational, mobilizing, administrating, spiritual-ideological, identification, patriotic, humanistic, axiological, democratic, stabilizing, strategic, security, etc. The Ukrainian national elite must respond on time to the challenges posed by time (globalization, ecological, economic, technological, informational, etc.). The most important for modern Ukraine isn’t only the formation of an effective and responsible political elite that could consolidate other elite groups, directing their activities in a constructive way, but also ensuring its timely rotation, qualitative upgrading, de-oligarchy and overcoming its alienation from society. The national elite must carry out highquality legal, political, socio-economic, socio-cultural, technological, ecological and other transformations; to support the integrity and spiritual unity of society, the development of democracy and self-organization processes in Ukraine, the formation and approval of a civil-political and European civilization identity of Ukrainian citizens.
