Pikula M. Formation of the European political consciousness in the EU and Ukraine: communication dimensions.

The peculiarities of communication aspects of formation of European political consciousness are investigated. It is substantiated that political consciousness in general adequately reflects contemporary political processes, both internal political, and foreign policy and international environment. It was investigated that the objective necessity of distinguishing this concept is due to several factors, and without the formation of European political consciousness, the formation and further development of Eurointegration is practically impossible. A number of trends have been identified regarding the use by Europeans of sources of information to obtain information about the European Union on the initiative of citizens, as well as on the initiative of European institutions or the media.
