ABSTRACT:
The article is devoted to analyzing political, socio-economic and system modernization as components of a logistic-transformational plan and process in the post-communist countries of Central-Eastern Europe. The author argued that the modernization processes in the post-communist countries of Central-Eastern Europe were not manifested as simple and consistent logistical-transformational and governmental decisions as the theory prove. The fact is that in the analyzed region, the process of re- forming and modernizing was planned and implemented as a simultaneous and systematic combination of economic, political, social, cultural and other systemic transformations in various spheres of public life. Consequently, the post-communist countries of Central-Eastern Europe, in contrast to modernization in other parts of the world, were determined not only by carrying out several complex “transitions” and logistical stages of modernization. As a result, contrary to transitological theory, they were able to almost concurrently implement a pluralistic political system, a market economy and a new model of statehood, thus neutralizing the “dilemma of simultaneously” and refuting the “impossibility theorem” of transformational development.
