Barbashin, M. Yu. Procedural Democracy and Social Structure: Neo-Institutional Analysis.

Abstract: The article analyzes methodological opportunities of neo-institutional analysis for social study of structural problems of development of procedural democracy and its relation with transformation of a social structure of the modern society. The article well shows that it is necessary to refuse from an ideological and politicized view on development of democracy processes and we should consider democracy regimes from the point of view of their social opportunities of development. Analyzing ‘gaps’ and structural features of democracy, the author concludes that institutional processes are key processes in democratic development of the society.
