The article is devoted to the analysis of some aspects of the socio­cultural condition of the modern Ukrainian society through the prism of the hypothesis of R. Ingelhart about materialistic and postmaterialistic values; finding answers to the questions: how are inherent in Ukrainian society postmodern shifts, what is the index of postmaterialism is characteristic of the majority of Ukrainians, what are the prospects for the implementation of the «quiet revolution» in domestic socium. The problem of moving towards postmodern societies is important for Ukraine, because it is just in transition their social and cultural development. Variable values separately for each individual and society as a whole represents the social and cultural changes that lead society towards social, economic, political and personal well­being. It is concluded that at this stage of the Ukrainian society should be considered as a society of modern with splashes of postmodern, with a low index of postmaterialism, socium, where dominate materialistic values. However, based on empirical data, states, that during the test 1996­2014 years, among Ukrainians gradually increases the proportion of people of mixed type, due to the young generation of the population. There are still theoretical discussions around the issue of changing lifestyles, political values, life priorities, the existence of a process of deinstitutionalisation in developed industrialized countries, which arose the theory presented by American sociologist Ronald Inglehart in the book "Quiet Revolution" in 1977 and developed later in numerous articles and the 1990 book "Cultural Developments in the Industrialized Industrialized Countries". According to the scientist, there have been changes in the attitudes and behavior of modern people, which should be considered as more profound changes occurring at the level of value priorities of society. The "Quiet Revolution" consists in the gradual transition of society from the priority of the values of "materialism" to the priority of the values of "postmodernism", that is, "post-materialism". Under the values of "materialism" is the provision of benefits to physical and psychological safety and well-being, and under the values of "post-materialism" - emphasized the importance of belonging to the group, self-expression and quality of life. In order to measure the availability and extent of materialist materialization in the postmaterialistic values (the post-materialist index), a special method is used in the mass consciousness. It is based on the assertion of the ranks by twelve statements, where the category of "materialism" is represented through social values such as "economic growth", "economic stability", as well as the values of authoritarianism and conformism, and "postmaterialism" includes values of the ideology of "green" or such values. as the need to make our cities beautiful, the great significance of ideas, not money, as well as the liberal values associated with broad and direct forms of citizen participation in governance, etc. For the first time, Inglehart's technique was applied in 1973 in an international comparative study of nine member states of the European Community. Now, in 2014, the participants of the world-wide international study "World Values Survey" are almost 100 countries of the world, including Ukraine. So, to what extent are postmodernist shifts inherent in Ukrainian society, which index of postmaterialism is inherent in most Ukrainians, what are the prospects for implementing a "quiet revolution" in the domestic social system? ; Стаття присвячена аналізу деяких аспектів соціокультурного стану сучасного українського суспільства через призму гіпотези Р.

У статті з'ясовано, що на сучасному етапі суспільно-політичної еволюції, в умовах переходу передових індустріальних держав на постіндустріальну стадію розвитку, відбувається зміна традиційного розуміння «ліво-правого» партійно-ідеологічного розмежування у форматі одновимірного лінійного поділу. Обґрунтовано, що за таких обставин визначення «лівих» та «правих» політичних партій вимагає дотримання методологічних принципів теорії плюралізації про співіснування традиційних і нових характеристик лівиці та правиці, які не витісняють одне одного з політичного дискурсу, а лише стають більш чи менш значущими в контексті певної суспільно-політичної та економічної ситуації. Тобто, як тільки виникають нові соціальні конфлікти або актуалізуються старі, то одразу ж запускаються процеси трансформації змістового наповнення понять «ліві» та «праві», що є результатом адаптації до нових умов. Відтак доведено, що згаданий поділ набуває двовимірної, ортогональної структури, у межах якої одна вісь відображає традиційне розмежування, засноване на матеріальних (економічних) питаннях, а інша – нове, що базується на постматеріальних (соціокультурних) проблемах. У рамках такої двовимірної структури і відбувається «ліво-праве» позиціонування політичних сил: за одних умов з упором на економічні питання, за інших – на соціокультурні. ; One of the most widespread and the most versatile methods of structuring of the political field, which is used usually both in political science research, and in print media discourse is the concept of «Left-Right» party-ideological distinction. However, the «Left-Right» semantics is characterized by the instability of basic concepts: they are constantly changing, gaining new features and content, depending on this or that socio-political context or, even, political traditions prevailing in a particular region. Therefore, its entry and the final consolidation in political science discourse gave the impetus to the long scientific debate regarding the specific conceptualization of the indicated distinction and its cognitive potential, especially in conditions of formation of the «new policy» of the post-industrial society. So this caused the necessity to determine the theoretical and methodological strategy of the identification of «Left» and «Right» political parties in the new economic, political and sociocultural reality of the post-industrial society. According to this, it has been revealed in the article that at the present stage of social and political evolution, in conditions of transition of advanced industrialized nations at the post-industrial stage of development, the traditional understanding of the «Left-Right» distinction is changing into the form of one-dimensional linear division. It has been grounded, that in such circumstances the definition of «Left» and «Right» political parties requires adherence to methodological principles of pluralization theory on the coexistence of traditional and new definitions of the Lefts and Rights, which do not displace each other from political discourse, but only become more or less significant in the context of a specific socio-political and economic situation. As soon as there are new social conflicts or old one are updated, the processes of transformation of the semantic content of «Left» and «Right» concepts launch immediately, and this results to the adaptation to new conditions. It has been proved that mentioned division becomes a two-dimensional orthogonal structure, in which one axis represents the traditional distinction based on the materialist (economic) issues, and another, the new one, is based on post-materialist (sociocultural) issues. Under such two-dimensional structure «Left-Right» political forces positioning is made: focusing on economic issues for one conditions and on sociocultural ones in other cases. ; В статье выяснено, что на современном этапе общественно-политической эволюции, в условиях перехода передовых индустриальных государств на постиндустриальную стадию развития, происходит изменение традиционного «лево-правого» партийно-идеологического размежевания в формате одномерного линейного деления. Обосновано, что в этих обстоятельствах определение «левых» и «правых» политических партий требует соблюдения методологических принципов теории плюрализации про сосуществование традиционных и новых характеристик левой и правой, которые не вытесняют друг друга из политического дискурса, а только лишь становятся более или менее значимыми в контексте определенной общественно-политической и экономической ситуации. То есть, как только возникают новые социальные конфликты или актуализируются старые, то сразу же запускаются процессы трансформации содержательного наполнения понятий «левые» и «правые», что является результатом адаптации к новым условиям. Таким образом, доказано, что упомянутое деление приобретает двухмерную, ортогональную структуру, в рамках которой одна ось отображает традиционное размежевание, основанное на материальных (экономических) вопросах, а другая – новое, которое базируется на постматериальных (социокультурных) проблемах. В границах такой двухмерной структуры и происходит «лево-правое» позиционирование политических сил: в одних условиях с упором на экономические вопросы, а в других – на социокультурные.

Introduction. Customs control is one of the fundamental elements of ensuring not only customs security, but also the security of the national economy as a whole. In order to block and prevent the threats to the customs security of Ukraine, customs, within it competence, are obliged to use the most effective instruments of customs control. Today, one of the tasks of Ukrainian customs is the introduction of a modern, effective system of post-release audit, which focuses on risky economic operators, and the simplification of international trade procedures for persons, who work without violating customs rules.Purpose. Analysis the existing mechanisms of selection companies for conducting the post-clearance audit and identifying the directions for developing the system of risk criterias for selection economic operators for conducting a post-clearance audit in Ukraine.Results. The study substantiates proposals in developing the system of risk criterias for selection economic operators for conducting a post-clearance audit in Ukraine. It was analyzed international, national foreign and Ukrainian legislation on risk management during customs control. The experience of the advanced states on risk management and using of the risk management system during post-clearance control were explored. According to the results of analysis of the international standards it was detected and proved discrepancy of the Ukrainian risk management system in part of economic operators assessment within post-clearance audit. The article proposes to use automated risk system for selection economic operators for conducting a post-clearance audit in Ukraine and describes components and tools of the system. It is also proposed to introduce certain amendments to the Customs Code of Ukraine.Originality. Proposed recommendations and developed components of risk system for selection economic operators for conducting a post-clearance audit in Ukraine: main aspects of risk analysis during customs audit, analysis area to identify riskiness, objects of analysis, classification of risk criterias, peculiarities of organization of work with the system of selection of enterprises, reaction on risks within the framework of Ukrainian legislation.Conclusion. In accordance with the international commitments, undertaken by Ukraine and in order to increase the level of state economic security, it is necessary to improve the work of post-clearance audit. The introduction of a risk management system for post-release control will allow the creation of an information space that includes information on previous audits and checks, violations, identified risks, causes and conditions, that conducive to non-compliance with legislation by economic operators, assessment of the effectiveness of detection activities, risk analysis and identifying risks. This will ensure timely detection and prevention of violations of customs legislation of Ukraine.

Modern society is on the stage, which is characterized by new economic and ideological positions. With the development of information in today's world, humanity is moving to a new stage of development, namely the post-industrial society whose core values is information and knowledge. Purpose. Description of industrial society and the definition of stage the development of Ukrainian society today. Results. Physical work is changing by mental work in most developed countries since the 20th century. The intellectual potential of human, her skills and ability is the main resource in the post-industrial society. The representatives of intellectual work are appearing in the job market. These workers are the joint owners and separating gains. It is serving as encouragement to enhance of their creativity. This situation leads to a decent financial reward and improving of material living standards and is a potential incentive for new motivational system. The gained knowledge applied in the production process and provided the main source of added value. It makes the human and her work a basic mechanism of post-industrial economy. The negative factor is the trends in labor migration, namely the departure of skilled workers overseas. Originality.

Ukrainians are oriented to individual success, recognition in society, professionalism, competitive and this shows their awareness in construction of post-industrial society. Conclusion. Service industry, recreation and education play a primary role in post-industrial society. Investment in human capital is needed for Ukraine to improve the quality and results of work.

Abstract. On the horizon of literary criticism today, text just does not have a general meaning, but any text is in a state of waiting to read readers and reproduce new meanings. Shakespeare's texts are texts that are repeatedly presented with different types of readings from different perspectives, and each time a new reproduction of them is obtained. The present research seeks to present a new reading of Shakespeare's Othello drama using post-colonial studies. The Othello play has qualities that can be considered postcolonial. Therefore, the present paper, with a post-colonial approach, reciprocates Edward Said views with a qualitative, analytical, and descriptive approach to reading this play, referring to a large historical and political structure.Keywords: Post-Colonial Studies-Edward Said-Othello-William Shakespeare. ; Abstract.

A comprehensive study of management policy of post-conflict territory is done. It is characterized as a management process that is localized within the territory affected by the armed conflict. It is seen as a resource by various political actors and requires the establishment of institutional order and overcoming the consequences of the conflict.Management policy of post-conflict territories was studied through its components: "post-conflict territory", "armed conflict", "post-conflict", "postconflict management". The study of the subject became possible due to interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological approaches and methods of political science, political geography, geopolitics, international relations, political regionalism, conflict studies, law and management.It is substantiated that in the context of studying the management policy of post-conflict territory, there is no need to study the territory as a subject of conflict. The expediency of studying such a territory as a space affected by the armed conflict is argued. As a result of the conflict the territory has a ruined system of governance or weak institutional forms of development that require development "from scratch" or reintegration into a national high-level system. ; Здійснено комплексне дослідження політики управління постконфліктними територіями як управлінського процесу, який локалізується в межах території, що зазнала впливу збройного конфлікту, розглядається як ресурс різними політичними акторами, потребує встановлення інституційного порядку і подолання наслідків конфлікту.Політику управління постконфліктними територіями досліджено через категорії: «постконфліктна територія», «збройний конфлікт», «постконфлікт», «постконфліктне управління», «політика управління». Вивчення предмету дослідження стало можливим завдяки міждисципінарним теоретикометодологічним підходам і методам політичної науки, політичної географії, геополітики, міжнародних відносин, політичної регіоналістики, конфліктології, права і політичного менеджменту.Обґрунтовано, що в контексті вивчення політики управління постконфліктними територіями немає потреби вивчати територію як предмет конфлікту. Доведена доцільність вивчення такої території в якості простору, що зазнав впливу збройного конфлікту, внаслідок чого має зруйновану систему управління або заслабкі інституційні форми розвитку, що потребують розбудови «з нуля» або реінтеграції в національну систему вищого рівня.

The author examines the peculiarities of the process of post-conflict reconciliation and peacebuilding in Rwanda, determines the role of international and local justice in the post-conflict reconciliation and punishment of perpetrators of mass genocide, identifies features of state policy to eliminate genocide and restore justice. Using historical, analytical and comparative methods, the author concludes that gachacha tribunals as a means of restorative justice have helped to restore trust and social harmony in Rwandan society, to regenerate its value and cultural matrix. The study found that in order to build positive peace, governance decisions and actions on the population in all spheres of public life contained a peacekeeping context, and the government worked to protect Rwandan society from a recurrence of future conflict. The findings found Rwandan's peace-building strategy to be effective because, following a large-scale genocide, a policy of national unity and reconciliation was pursued to build a united nation, restore peace and justice, good governance and economic development.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of post-truth as a significant intellectual and cultural symptom of modernity. There are considered its ability to reveal the content of the modern epoch, the place of post-truth in postmodern discourse, and the heuristic potential of the discourse upon the «post-». The main features of the post-truth as a communicative strat- egy are analyzed. On this basis, the incorrectness of definition of the present day as an era of «post-» is proved. The phenomenon of post-truth is just one of the symptoms of a deep crisis of justice, public morality and democratic governance, and, in general, the degradation of political responsibility and standards of public behavior in a globalizing world. ; У статті аналізується феномен постправди як вагомий інтелектуальний та культурний симптом сучасності. З'ясовуються його можливості щодо виявлення змісту сучасної епохи, місце постправди у постмодерному дискурсі та евристичний потенціал дискурсу «пост-». Аналізуються головні особливості постправди як комунікативної стратегії. На цій підставі доводиться некоректність визначення сучасності як епохи постправди. Феномен постправди є лише одним із симптомів глибокої кризи правосвідомості, суспільної моралі та демократичного урядування й загалом деґрадації політичної відповідальності та стандартів публічної поведінки за умов ґлобалізації.

The return of the state to sociological discourse can be based on the study of the role of state measures in societies that overcome the consequences of violence. The purpose of the article – is to outline the problems and some ways of overcoming them facing the state in the post-conflict reconstruction of society and can be successfully addressed by state authorities with varying degrees of success.Given that the state in a post-conflict society, as a rule, has a low level of public confidence and limited resources to resolve the conflict, the practice of peacekeeping operations and other organizational arrangements for building peace is widespread.In addition to the organizational component, the assistance of the Western world is in promoting and sometimes imposing in the transitional societies the legal norms and political institutions of the "old world", which often complicated the peace process and did not take into account the local context of peace-building. In addition, the speed at which international donors wanted to obtain a result from international intervention could contradict the long-term process of psychosocial and economic recovery of victims of the conflict.Modern theories of "transitional justice" try to overcome the contradiction between the limited support of international actors on the one hand and the fragility of the state and the weakness of civil society on the other.The researchers are proposing a model where the state interacts with civil society on the path to peace in the long run and reconciliation.A decentralized transitional justice model emerged in Northern Ireland, where local conciliation initia- tives combined community efforts and government and non-governmental interventions. Particular emphasis on overcoming the effects of violence is on reparations. However, there is no unambiguous universal form of payment to victims of the conflict to meet all economic needs. Reparations can take different forms – from money to symbolic ones. In addition, the decision to pay reparations is implemented by the state on the basis of agreements at the level of institutes of transitional justice, first of all, the truth-establishing commissions.In order to overcome the consequences of violence and the post-conflict reconstruction of a society, the state must take into account the whole range of social problems – political, socio-psychological, and economic. The solution to political problems is through the provision of broad political rights and ensuring the inclusiveness of social groups in society. Socio-psychological problems are solved in particular through the transformation of the group identity of the oppositional conflicts of social groups in the context of the exchange of social experience. Economic issues of post-conflict reconstruction concern the development of an effective reparation system at the individual, group and national levels. ; Стаття стосується спектра державних заходів щодо подолання наслідків насилля в процесі постконфліктного відновлення.

The article analyzes the Ukrainian national elite of the postcolonial era through the prism of citizenship. In recent years, the interest in elitist issues has been grown significantly. In modern socio-humanitarian field, the issues of the elites' role in the modern world, the criteria for evaluating different elite's activity, the measure of their citizenship, patriotism and professionalism are often discussed. Positive social transformations in many respects depend on the qualitative state of modern Ukrainian elites, on their socio-political maturity, on their willingness and ability to consolidate Ukrainian society, on the level of their responsibility for the fate of Ukraine. The author of the article follows to the concept of plurality of elites (based on the idea of distinguishing elite groups in the fields of their leading activities), which enables the allocation of political, ideological, publicadministrative, military, economic and engineering, scientific, spiritual, medical, educational (pedagogical), cultural-artistic, religious, informational, sporting, etc. In the post-colonial period, all these elite groups must become an integral elements of the Ukrainian national elite. In article the citizen is analyzed as a subject of qualitative social transformations in the post-colonial period, as well as civil practices of self-organization of society in the context of modern transformational processes in Ukraine by the article. The phenomenon of civic activity of an elitist person is analyzed in a theoretical, methodological and empirical perspective. The article deals with theoretical and methodological bases, structure and development peculiarities of the civil position of the personality. Civil society is seen as a cultural and historical type of society. The peculiarities of its formation and functioning in post-colonial Ukraine are analyzed. The author suggests his own periodization of the civil society development in Ukraine. So, the Ukrainian national elite would become the true subject of decolonization of Ukraine and positive social transformations only when all its representatives will begin to perform their core functions in a responsible way: culture-creating, state-building, nation-building, as well as consolidating, creative-transforming, forecasting, motivational, mobilizing, administrating, spiritual-ideological, identification, patriotic, humanistic, axiological, democratic, stabilizing, strategic, security, etc. The Ukrainian national elite must respond on time to the challenges posed by time (globalization, ecological, economic, technological, informational, etc.). The most important for modern Ukraine isn't only the formation of an effective and responsible political elite that could consolidate other elite groups, directing their activities in a constructive way, but also ensuring its timely rotation, qualitative upgrading, de-oligarchy and overcoming its alienation from society. The national elite must carry out highquality legal, political, socio-economic, socio-cultural, technological, ecological and other transformations; to support the integrity and spiritual unity of society, the development of democracy and self-organization processes in Ukraine, the formation and approval of a civil-political and European civilization identity of Ukrainian citizens.

In the paper, the author has outlined the representation of social problems inEnglish post-postmodernistic novel. It is found out that in post-postmodernism there is a return of the subject who retellspersonal stories related to the experience of injuries, pain, describing the situation of an existential choice. It has been analyzedthat characters reveal the need for existential truth, which opposes the discourse of the post- truth. It is discovered that theaccentuation on the personal component in the post-postmodernistic novel determines his particular sensuality andunderstanding of social conflicts and crises in terms of philosophy, psychology and medicine (human biology). On thematerial of D. Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas" the specificity of dystopia in post-postmodernistic novel has been investigated.Dystopia is a genre type of social science fiction, in which there is a criticism of social system, political institutions,ideological lack of freedom, etc. It was investigated that English post-postmodernistic novel is open to representing socialissues that were not exploited in postmodernism. The interaction of realistic and fictional in contemporary British novels has been analyzed. The features of (post)realism as one of the stylistic parameters of post-postmodernism are found out. A complex ofsocial problems and motives, which find a critical understanding in English post-postodernistic novel, has been spotlighted. References Hailend, M. Dzh. 2008. Uhamuite mene.

The article presents an attempt of the author to address the issue of post-truth in the legal reality. It tries to cover the issues of post-truth genesis as a term, its interrelation within philosophical, religious, journalistic discourse, and its essence and role in law. The author concludes that post-truth cannot be viewed as a newly established term and that it has continuously been used before. It has been used by different ancient nations' educated citizens, and continued on with being used by religious leaders and European philosophers afterwards. The idea of post-truth can be traced in most classic philosophic works, and it keeps getting attention by legal, philological, and philosophical researchers, as well as the researchers in other fields. Post-truth is currently one of the most addressed topics around the world due to its tight links with the current highly debatable political occurrences (annexation of Ukrainian Crimea, subsequent military operations in Eastern Ukraine, Brexit, recent United States' presidential elections, as well as many other aspects being clear only to a certain point. The main goal of post-truth as a term is to divert the attention of its object from applying rational decision making to applying emotional decision making even if one is not fully substituted by the other. It urges the object to be guided by emotions more than by common sense and rational choice while it does not fully dwell on emotions thus leaving room for certain rational choice decisions made under strict control of the newly created reality it is a basis of. This reality is also not a unique accomplishment. Virtual reality has been a subject of research for the whole of human history. It was well addressed by religious leaders (and still is), by scientists, psychologists, novelists, medical researchers, journalists, philosophers, as well as lawyers. The article specifically focuses on the role of post-truth in law, and makes a conclusion that this term is not new for law and legal practice, while there is a long evidence of post-truth ideas having been used in almost all court hearings, and by almost all participants. The article also points out the fact that due to its long history of co-existence with post-truth, law has developed a comprehensive set of borderlines partly aimed at dealing with post-truth negative outcome. It includes legal norms, procedural norms, legal knowledge, and common sense. The article also stresses the fact that posttruth methods may not always be used in a negative context. It is not uncommon of post-truth methods to have outcome positive for society or for certain individuals.Article received 13.05.2018 ; Статтю присвячено роздумам про актуальне на сьогодні поняття постправди у всій різноманітності його сприйняття.
