Ethnic sociology becomes today, in conditions of the increase of significance of ethno-national problems in the public life, one of the important fields of sociologic knowledge. At the same time it is a relatively young sociologic theory of the middle rank (level) in the sphere of the home sociologic theorizing. Thus, the range of publications dedicated to ethno-sociology itself is also rather limited. The question may be only in one manual by Vira Arbenina (Kharkiv), one methodical manual of Viktoria Sereda (Lviv), several vocabulary-reference publications issued under supervision of professor Volodymyr Yevtukh (Kyiv) and separate papers in scientific journals and certain themes in some educational editions, as, for example, in the manual Sociology by Natalia Chernysh, a sociologist from Lviv. This explains availability of a number of problems characteristic of the science which is only arising. First and foremost they include such ones as formulation of the notions of object and subject, definition of the principal purpose, basic tasks and functions of this science, determination of its place and role in the structure of sociologic knowledge. A necessity 'to take off' the above problems has certainly conditioned the polemic character of this paper as well. The author, when substantiating the urgency of ethno-national subjects, specially accentuates its relations with global migration processes. The paper emphasizes the importance of problem approaches both for ethno-sociology and for any sociologic science; supports actively the ideas of a necessity to distinguish the main function of ethno-sociology, expediency of the national character of priorities of subject trends in ethno-sociologic investigations, changeability of the subject field of those investigations, etc. The author considers this paper as the invitation to discussion.

The notion of ethnic structure of society per se have been first singled out as the 'charger' of concepts of national and ethnic structures of society only at the end of the 1990's. The task of theoretical clarification of this problem is complicated by the unsettled state of concept-category apparatus, namely by identification of concepts of ethnic structure and ethnic composition of society, interpretation of nation as an ethnic phenomenon etc. The ethnic structure of society is one of the types (substructures) of its social structure. Consequently, the reasonable solution of society ethnic structuring questions is to be carried out on methodological principles of social structuring in general. The author uses as a basis Anthony Giddens' definition which assumes the social structure of society as a gnosiological construct. Meanwhile, the author emphsizes, that this structure is not merely a product of consciousness, but is the phenomenon based on relations between elements of empirically fixed ontological reality, that is social structure of a society. Therefore the relevant determination of the social structure notion presumes representation of its pluralistic essence and the distinction between social structure and composition of society. On these principles, the analysis of ethnic structure of a society is to be deepened up to the level of its concrete substructures, including ethnic one. Hereof, one can select its mere components brought up to tasks of political nation building.
