The paper attempts to prove that the current, widespread crisis in social dialogue is only one of many features of the overall crisis of democratic structures, mechanisms and procedures visible in the countries of various democratic traditions and culture. The author claims that the overall crisis has been, on the one hand, produced by the supremacy of market mechanisms (which is the most significant effect of the 'third capitalist globalisation), but, on the other hand, may be seen as a result of numerous residuals of the former communist globalisation and their antidemocratic influence still present in the post-communist countries.
The authors discuss objective and subjective factors influencing slowing down of national economy transformation in Ukraine. They analyze results of researches carried out in 12 enterprises in Donieck region and 251 households. The researches show that the lowest readiness to accept the changes (considering mental and psychosocial aspect) are represented by both managers of big enterprises and their workers. Persons working in big enterprises think that their enterprises have bigger chance to survive in Ukrainian economy than small and medium private firms. It is a paradox if one considers economic condition of these big enterprises, promptitude and level of wages, conditions of work and work safety.
