Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyse armed violence in the political space, at the state, separate region, and geopolitical level. The task of this work is to study the issue of armed violence in the political space: micro-, meso- and macro-dimensions. The hypothesis of the study is the assumption that armed violence is a means of a certain political space control. Micro-levels of political, meso-level of political space, political macro-space is analysed in details. It has been proven that armed violence leads to the disintegration of the state-political, socio-economic, and to some extent cultural and spiritual space. The degree of influence of armed violence on political transformations that take place in the micro, meso, and macro political space is noted. It is indicated that the consequences of armed violence or the threat of its use, as a rule, occur suddenly, unlike other forms of violence.
