New ideology of Ukraine: do we have a chance
Building a modern nation-state The following is the text in the original language. Today's powers - nations have fallen apart quite recently. Since 1648, sovereignty has been consolidated, so that every country can rule on its own (previously, for example, the Pope). Years later, through a cycle of revolutions, the British, American, and French bordered the reign of kings, and in 1848 the revolutions were launched by what we know as a modern democratic power with parliaments and constitutions. Undoubtedly, the way and share of the skin power were different, but in the skin there were fundamental components, without which the power could not take shape.
I see 4 such components:.
Nation – one community with common interests. In fact, the formation of a nation on any territory will lead to the demise of the power, or the transformation of the natural establishment. History knows the butts when powers were left without a nation. The most beautiful example is kingdoms that could unite different nations. As soon as the nation realized itself with a single goal, united with others, the revolution was coming.
Political elite - people who represent the national interest. Once a nation is created, its interests are clearly expressed, and these interests will require representation. The nation is experiencing a galaxy of leaders and political organizations that represent national interests and begin to fight for better approaches before their implementation..
Ideology is a system of ideas and views of the political elite. The implementation of national interests can be achieved in different ways. So, for example, the nation’s need for security can be realized through the creation of a strong defense and alliances, or perhaps through a reduction or weakening of the countries. This is the nutrition of ideology, as evidenced by a specific political elite.
Political institutions are the organization of power and powers that a political elite creates on the basis of its ideology. Moreover, I already wrote about the butt of Washington, who, on principle, was inspired to become king, while still wearing a different ideology.
In my upcoming posts, I will analyze the formation of the modern Ukrainian state through the prism of these 4 components, and I will try to provide evidence for nutrition: why we have always wasted our chances.
