The monograph represents the results of a broad research of eth­nic tensions and conflicts in contemporary Ukraine. The nature, con­tent and dynamics of these ethnic tensions and conflicts were repre­sented here as a part of the past Communist system's legacy as well as the result of specific developments in demographic and social struc­ture of Ukrainian society. Among other instrumental factors of eth­nic tensions, brought under analysis, there are specific features of Ukrainian economy and politics, cultural traditions, public conscience and psychology, geopolitical and civilizational challenges of moder­nity, activization of ethnic communities in manifestation and advo­cacy of their interests in the course of and after the proclamation of independence of Ukraine. Author advances original theoretical and methodological basis for this research, formulates recommendations regarding the possibilities and means of resolving ethnic tensions and conflicts and preventing their escalation into intense conflicts. The book is intended for political analysts, students in humani­ties, politicians, public leaders, ethnic communities activists.
