ABSTRACT:
The article is devoted to theoretical and methodological analysis of the “dilemma of simultaneity” as the conceptual predictor of post-communist Europe modernization’s logistics. It was determined that the initial premise to overcome the “dilemma of simultaneity” was political modernization or democratization of post-communist countries of Europe and that in some countries modernization was realized in three areas, and in some other countries in four areas (i.e. in the form of a “triple” or “quadruple” transition). The author argued that the “dilemma of simultaneity” as a proper and on time logistics model of post-communist transformation and modernization in various European countries is not fully methodologically unified. It was also revealed that initially the “dilemma of simultaneity” was a dichotomy (in political and economic areas), but later became a trichotomy (including issues of territorial and national restructuring). In addition, initially the “dilemma of simultaneity” had negative direction, but nowadays is a positivist value. At the same time, it was argued that overcoming the “dilemma of simultaneity” is an overcome and turning such results of institutional development of post-communist European countries as modernity, statehood and prospects of the EU membership.
