Governing in the context of resolving political conflicts – a skill or weakness of transforming political systems? Reflection on the basis of the (post)transition reality
Abstract
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The primary research objective of this study is to attempt to answer the question of whether, in political systems undergoing political transition, the ability to resolve political conflicts is an asset for those in power or whether it is a common difficulty (weakness) that adversely affects the effectiveness of the process.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: In this article, particular attention will be directed towards the resolution of political conflicts, which in a democratic system should be resolved in a consensual form.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: After introductory remarks, the designator of the concept of governance, political conflict and ways of resolving it are defined, then attention will be paid to the (post)transitional reality, The considerations are concluded with final conclusions.
RESEARCH RESULTS: In democratising political systems, according to the assumptions derived from the transitological paradigms taken into account, rulers should be characterised by both the will and the ability to resolve emerging political conflicts. Unfortunately, as evidenced by the situational contexts of the transformation processes, one notices the evident difficulty faced by those in power in dealing with dialogue and consensus building, which unfortunately has an adverse effect on the ‘maturation of democracy’.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Practice proves that still, despite the passage of years, those in power are most often incompetent in dealing with ‘conflictuality’, which adversely affects the advancement of progress in the democratisation of the political system.
