https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2024-3-1469
Abstract
Aim. To form a conceptual model of the political process, to define the category of "political process", the levels of the political process and the states of the political system.
Methodology. The approaches to the definition of the political process are analyzed: behaviorist, institutional and structural-functional approaches.
Results. The analysis made it possible to identify three levels of the political process: micro-level, meso-level and macro-level; the main elements of the political process and the states of the political system are identified.
Research implications. A conceptual model of the political process consisting of three levels is proposed; definitions of the categories "political process" and "sustainability of the political system" are formulated.
