ON THE ISSUE OF THE PROBLEMS OF CONSOLIDATING DEMOCRACY
https://doi.org/10.48137/23116412_2025_2_80
Abstract
The article analyzes the views of Russian and foreign researchers on the current problems of consolidating democracy as the final stage of democratic transits. The method of secondary analysis of research results is applied. The author draws conclusions about the acquisition of national-specific character by democratic transits and suggests a hypothesis about the formation of a new type of political systems.
