Abstract
The paper concerns the fundamental issues of the sustainable social progress. As follows from the argumentation, a realistic design of institutional changes in connection with resource and organizational changes needed for sustainable progress is called for to realize in the line of overall social system transformation. This approach presupposes an exhaustive study of interconnected transformations in the main societal fields as system processes considering the influence of relatively exogenous factors (technological, demographic and climate changes). In turn, it is advisable, taking in view current world challenges, to expose an idea of universal sustainability, the property of which is inherent in all social practices, and not just mediating the relationship between society and its environment.The first result of study concludes in revealing the fundamentals of overall social system sustainability. The second result: the transition to sustainable transformation of society supposes the synergetic implementation of structure-forming system and policy-driven shifts.
Highlights
The paper concerns the fundamental issues of the sustainable social progress
A debatable problem concludes in the alternative selection of criteria of sustainability or optimality for assessing the results of sustainable overall social transformation
Its adherents usually emphasize the broad possibilities of evolutionary adaptation of contract and other institutional mechanisms to emerging social preferences (e.g., Hodgson, 2015)
Summary
II: Reality of the Transition to Sustainable Transformation of Society The first important prerequisite for the future overall social progress relates to technological driver. The achievement of a sustainability of a social system presupposes its substantial qualitative change in time and space relative to the initial position Such a transition is inevitably associated with relative changes in the root institutions of ownership and coordination, the main resource, price and financial proportions, as well as organizational mechanisms. There is a need to develop the feasible framework model of desired Transition at national level in advanced countries, not fully achievable due to the likely preservation of the high weight of external, global and regional, unsustainable processes. The implementation of this model presupposes the achievement of synergistic complementarities of the ongoing system transformational and policy-driven shifts (Figure 2). Structure-forming system shifts in the main societal fields as conditionality’s for Transition
