Socio-political Divisions: Theoretical Theses

Summary/Abstract: The article provides an overview of theoretical assumptions, which are crucial from the perspective of research aiming at characterization and explanation of socio-political divisions – its essence, structure, dynamics, and functions. It is an authorial attempt – based on the author’s experiences in the field of research on socio-political divisions – to meet the demand for condensed political science knowledge concerning divisions, which could serve as a starting point for research on these phenomena. The paper presents key theoretical theses on socio-political divisions, which are worth bearing in mind while organizing research on divisions, and which should be taken into account in the process of formulation of political theories. On the basis of the presented theses, divisions appear to be multidimensional socio-political phenomena of processual nature, having certain contextual sources, specific structure and features, character and dynamics, being fields of political meanings, as well as reflecting some important functions to social and political life.
