Rola procesów etnopolitycznych w zarządzaniu etnopolityką w państwach Europy Wschodniej
The Role of Ethno-political Processes in Managing Ethno-politics in Eastern European Countries

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the problems of ethnopolitical processes (ethnicity politicization, ethnopolitical mobilization of national and ethnic minorities) in Eastern European countries. The author analyzes the socio-political activity and participation of national and ethnic minorities in the authorities of the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine and comes to the conclusion that these processes affect the management of ethnopolitics and security of the subregion countries. Organized activities that report separatist activities are of particular importance for the security of states. In the case of the Republic of Belarus, this problem does not exist, while in the Republic of Moldova (Gagauzia and Transnistria) and Ukraine (Donbas, Transcarpathia) it has a real dimension. Separatist tendencies of particular ethnic groups are an important element in shaping ethnopolitics, its management and influence the state security policy. They are also becoming a space where the reaction of national authorities is necessary, including not only security but also skilful management of ethnopolitical processes in the country.
