Социальная легитимация украинской ­государст­венности: методологические и методические проблемы изучения

Abstract

The paper presents methodological and procedural aspects of the Ukrainian statehood legitimization. The following empirical indicators of legitimacy have been analyzed:declarative attitudes, factual judgments, rational judgments, as well as emotional and evaluative judgments of Ukrainian citizens about their native land and state. The author suggests studying new legitimization of Ukrainian statehood with the help of attitude and practices of the population.
