Item The Orange Revolution in the context of S. Huntington's theory of "Waves of Democratization"(2008) Shveda, Y.The events, which took place in Ukraine in 2004 and have already been romantically named "the orange revolution", have undoubtedly become a subject of a careful analysis by both Ukrainian and foreign analysts.

To our mind, the understanding of the fact that everything that is happening in Ukraine nowadays is a component of a complex process of transformation changes is the key to their accurate perception and objective analysis. In this connection we think that the generalizations made by a famous American scholar S. Huntington in "The Third Wave of Democratization" will be of great value. This article is a detailed abstract of the speech on the "round table" at the Annual Congress of American Political Science Association.
