This paper is aimed at the impact of particularism in political
decision-making. It is argued that political decisions are
particularistic according to the goal and circumstances, in which
they are made. It is still unclear, which consequences – good or
bad – particularistic component of political decisions may lead to.
The focal question is to what extent the particularism in political
decisions can help in resolving social problems or does harm to
society. In the framework of the network analysis, the article
presents organizational and procedural examples of particularism
predominance and political means of its balancing. As an
illustration of completely particularistic system by institutional and
practical means of decision-making, the case of Ukraine is
showed. It is ascertained that the dominance of particularism in
political decision-making can lead to ambivalent effects: being
highly destructive for stability of the system it can be saving for
democratic modes of governance.
