Global neopolitics: risks of sustainable development of modern society

Abstract

The article analyzed the peculiarities of the development of modern society. It has been found that the social development of Ukraine corresponds to global trends and is aimed at participating in global cooperation. The matrix of world development, as well as for Ukraine is characterized by turbulence of the processes of functioning of society, which is manifested in the activation of a significant number of negative trends: the economic inability of a number of countries, the moral degradation of humanity, the intensification of protest sentiments by the intensification of terrorist activities. Therefore, these aspects allow to characterize modern global society as a “society of risk”. It was found that in order to achieve its sustainable development, it is necessary: to form a system of positive social, economic, environmental, political and cultural values, not only among the political elite, but also in other socially conscious strata; to restore legitimacy and trust in the existing institutions of power; to develop institutional mechanisms for predicting and managing risks, etc.
