Modern Ethno-national Processes: the Potential of Anti-crisis Development of Ukraine

On the basis of the analysis of existing theories about the origin and historical genesis of modern nationalism  the conceptual approach is proposed, according to which the process of nation formation  is one of the important dimensions of the world historical process. The author reveals the complex interdependance and mutual opposition of specific historical types of national identity as well as the importance of a new national patriotism for formation of the universal innovative model of anti-crisis development and mechanisms of its implementation in Ukraine. In particular, the author refutes  mystical and mythological projects of the crisis-free future as well as only outwardly opposing them, globalist anti-utopian projects (the model of so-called network society of M. Castells). The article proves the actuality of real national revival against a background of the naturally determined collapse of the neoliberal globalist trend and continuation of  fragmentation of global geopolitical space. It is shown that the formation of new forms of national identity is inseparably linked with the formation of humanistic secularized world outlook during the Modern Ages and  currently is the basis of the creative type of thinking.
