Суспільна модернізація в регіональних координатах сучасної України: соціально-філософський аналіз

Abstract

The article analyses the peculiarities of social modernization in the regions of modern Ukraine. The social development is characterized by a deep systemic changes in norms and relations at the global, macro-regional and internally-national levels, which actualizes the public demand for effective state regional policy able to ensure not only the economic competitiveness of Ukrainian regions and national resilience to global risks. Special attention of politicians and scientists deserves the problem of modernization of Ukrainian society, which is in contrast to the historical European upgrades in conditions of still not completely furnished and modern Ukrainian nation. Therefore, a fair amount of weight becomes the unsolved problem of identity (ethnic, civil, political, local, etc) that increases social conflicts and risks of modern social modernization. We believe that the way out of the political, economic and socio-cultural crisis possible due to the horizontal communications, which must be targeted at creating the public. In conditions of development of the independent state actualized the issue of search of new management ideas and technologies that not only the efficient functioning of the institutions (bodies of state power and local self-government), but will be axiological landmarks of democratic development in the system of “state-politics-society”. The problem of overcoming the crisis and revival of Ukraine on a new basis (filled socio-humanistic content) is through strong leadership and effective management. It should be emphasized that not having a social ideal, and relying on the market take its course and political ambitions of the elite, Ukrainian society is faced with growing degradation of economic, social, humanitarian and intellectual foundations, which exacerbates the problem of social deprivation. Historical epoch without statehood leaves an imprint on the national consciousness due to the fact that causes an inertial play ideological orientations, preservation of the specific social relations. Note that in many post-Soviet countries is dominated by a generation socialize in conditions of authoritarian regime that generates the underlying problem of social adaptation to new conditions of life in the new “aggressive” society characterized by poverty, unemployment, social vulnerability. Social-philosophical analysis of social modernization in regional coordinates showed that priorities (overcoming the economic crisis, the use of innovative elements of production, effective material and moral stimulation of development of regions) should be determined on the basis of common interests and enforced through them, because it changes the whole system, by its nature may be regarded as a profound transformation of society, which requires the formation of the innovative Outlook and new models of economic and political behaviour. The idea of self-organization based on civil communication and dialogue freely combined members of society to overcome the alienation of the state and society. Socio-cultural integration of society on the basis of solving economic and political problems could change the substance of social life and to actualize a new direction with the awareness that the future of Ukraine is the sphere of civil liability. The formation of the national identity in the Ukraine’s regions is proved as precondition for deepening the obligatory process of political nation formation and effective realization of the national interests in Ukraine. National idea has a function of consolidation in the process of formation national identity in the difficult way of Ukraine to multi-policultural Europe.
