Третья Украинская Республика: между президенциализмом и семипрезиденциализмом.

Abstract

The experience of the functioning of power in Ukraine since proclamation of the independence proves the tendency of a decrease in the concentration of power in the hands of the head of state. This tendency manifests itself behind the principle of the pendulum, starting with a hybrid of the elements of presidentialism and the hierarchy of the system of councils (soviet’s), ending with the system of premier-presidentialism. The article reveals the sources of Ukrainian statehood, the influence of the Russian factor on the state of the Ukrainian republic as a manifestation of postcolonialism and the fluctuations in the development of the Ukrainian republic from semi-presidentialism to parliamentarism. The methodological basis of the study is organic constitutionalism, based on institutions of limiting power and ensuring human rights, as well as an interdisciplinary approach.
