Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The main explanatory variables used to analyse the transformation of state socialist
societies are elite circulation and renewal. It is contended that, while the transformation
may be elite led, transformation should be analyzed as a revolutionary process promoted by, and favouring, class interests. It is hypothesised that the transformation of the
post communist countries has involved a process in which endogenous and exogenous
class forces have played a major role. The absence of (economic) civil society under state
socialism gave rise to a deficient ascendant capitalist class. Viewing capitalism as an
international system, political elites acting in the international arena, through an
alliance with exogenous elites, activated a move to markets and privatisation. In the
post communist period, class inequality and tension have risen. The weakness of civil
society is a consequence of an undeveloped incumbent bourgeois class which in turn
limits the effectiveness of class rule. The rapid forms of imposed economic and political
change, involving the dislocation of the social structure have weakened the formation of
an oppositional class consciousness. The inclusion of counter elites into the political
system (the ‘elite settlement’) ensuring a form of political management represses ideological opposition and further limits the rise of class consciousness. |
