Khraban I. Civil Control over Armed Forces in Democratic State (Experience of USA and Problems of Ukraine).

The thesis is dedicated to analysis of tendencies of development of main forms and methods of civil control in a democratic state. On the one hand the model of civil control over the US Armed Forces was taken as a main pattern of such control. On the other hand the state and directions of resolving the problem in the Armed Forces of Ukraine were analysed. It is defined that the process in the Ukraine has begun and has already achieved some successes, but it is a long one, and the Ukraine is only on its initial stage. Thus the object of the thesis is a system of civil control over Armed Forces in a democratic state. As a result of the research of foreign experience and first attempts of the Ukraine in resolving the problem some practical recommendations on directions of development of main forms and methods of the democratic civil control over the Armed Forces of Ukraine were given.
