Polysubjectivity as a Factor of Social Development in the Context of Dialogization and Differentiation of Center–Region Relations in the Federal State

The article explores the phenomenon of polysubjectivity as a factor of social development from the perspective of post-non-classical scientific methodology. The author proposes conceptualizing polysubjectivity (multiple subjectivity) as a category describing the multifaceted nature, diversity, and dynamics of the social environment. This environment is formed through the dialogue of managed subjects who are bearers of diverse value-goal structures, possess certain resources, and are interconnected with other subjects of social action. Attention is drawn to the dual nature of poly-subjectivity. On one hand, it is viewed as the subjectivity of multiple individuals and social groups united within a localized social environment, for example, in the context of interactions between government and business, authorities and the population, or the federal center and regions. On the other hand, polysubjectivity is interpreted as the multifaceted and plural subjectivity of an individual. The author draws upon the methodology for analyzing sociocultural modernization of regions (N.I. Lapin), the activity-structural paradigm (A.V. Tikhonov), concepts of mediation and sociocultural dialogue (A.S. Akhiezer, A.P. Davydov), and the subject-oriented approach in social systems management (V.E. Lepskiy). Special attention is given to the role of the polysubjective approach in the context of differentiation among Russian regions and the implementation of their socio-economic development strategies. The article argues that the objective complexity of the Russian Federation's regional composition and the unevenness of modernization necessitate a polysubjective approach to structuring relations between the center and regions. Invoking W.R. Ashby’s law of requisite variety, it is demonstrated that effective management of regional system diversity requires a corresponding diversity of management approaches at the central level. Barriers to the formation of polysubjectivity are analyzed, particularly the absence of genuine dialogue between the center and regions. The conclusion posits that polysubjectivity can serve as a key characteristic of a certain stage in the institutionalization of post-industrial type management and as a form of interaction that ensures an adequate measure of collaboration among representatives of government, business, science, and various communities.

Корпоративная социальная ответственность — новое направление в развитии социального партнерства?

During the transition to a post-industrial type of society, where high technologies take place, a higher level of social management is assumed, implemented by companies. New conditions place new demands on attracting and retaining qualified workers. The role of companies (employers) is being rethought. In this regard, companies (employers), guided by the principles of corporate social responsibility, are implementing new approaches to employee management. However, all initiatives for the development of social responsibility of companies (employers) cannot be called revolutionary, since they are already regulated in Russian labor legislation. The development of corporate social responsibility should be carried out not at the level of declarations, but by enshrining in social partnership acts the obligations of employers to improve the work, rest and living conditions of employees.

Economic development and economic policy in the transition to post-normality

Aim. To study the transformations of economic development trends and changes in the priorities of economic policy in the period of modern political and economic turbulence associated with the transition to a new quasi-stable state of the economy — post-normality.Tasks. To consider the features of the modern Russian economic model; to describe the mechanism of the impact of macro shocks of 2020 and 2022 on the Russian and world economy; to characterize the target — postnormal — state of the national and world economy; to offer recommendations for improving economic policy in the new conditions.Methods. The author of the article used both general scientific methods of research, including systemic, retrospective, institutional and macroeconomic (positive and normative) analysis, and specialized methods of studying economic evolution, economic dynamics and statics, situational and scenario modeling, economic statistics and others.Results. In recent years, the conditions of foreign economic interaction of many national economies, especially the Russian economy, have changed. During the post-Soviet period, Russia has consistently and systematically pursued a policy of economic liberalization, in particular, foreign economic liberalization. The first significant blow to the openness of national economies was the COVID-19 pandemic. The second was the sanctions imposed against Russia by the countries of the “collective West”, which gradually affected an increasing number of countries. The essence of these shocks from the point of view of macroeconomic analysis is a jump-like increase in the closedness of the national economy. Under these conditions, it is established that national economies of post-industrial type turn out to be unstable and unviable under the new realities. This should be taken into account in economic policy. Attention should also be paid to the fact that the processes of growing crisis of the currently prevailing model of open economy will inevitably affect not only economic, but also political, cultural and other processes. An attempt to overcome the sanctions on Russia by geographical reorientation of foreign economic interactions can be effective only in the short term, as a tactical measure. Strategically, it will not work, because the flaws of the open economy model, consisting in high (and in some cases — critical) dependence of the national economy on foreign economic interactions, cannot disappear. Therefore, this openness should be reduced in areas critical for national development. Special attention in economic policy should be paid to the issues of social justice, without the solution of which it is impossible to achieve public consensus and ensure the effectiveness of the institutional changes necessary in connection with the transition to post-normality. Conclusions. The modern Russian economy is at another transitional stage of development. In general, constant transformations are a systemic property of the economy, a condition for its existence. At the same time, in modern realities there is a transformation of strategic nature associated with the change of the key feature of the existing economic model — its degree of openness. Although the Russian economy as a whole has been able to adapt to the new conditions of functioning, but this is a tactical adaptation, in the strategic aspect it is not enough for a successful transition to the post-normal stage of development. In this regard, a more balanced and active participation of the state in the management of economic development processes and their regulation is required, subject to the formation of effective economic and other incentives to support such processes for both business and the population. In view of this, it is advisable to take into account the recommendations proposed by the author of the article in the economic policy.

Family education as a process of translation of ideals and values of culture

In the article, the authors consider issues related to the family as a social institution of society, which through the education system is a carrier, keeper and translator of cultural ideals. The subject of the study is family education, interpreted as the process of translating the ideals and values of culture. The article examines the concept and functions of the family as a leading social institution, sacred and profane ideals of culture and their mutual influence, types of family education, distinguished depending on the characteristics of the transmitted cultural values. When writing the work, such general scientific and private scientific research methods as analysis, synthesis, classification, generalization, comparison, historical method, analysis of empirical and sociological data on the studied problem were used. The general methodology of the work was compiled by scientific works of both domestic and foreign scientists devoted to the family as a carrier of cultural values. The analysis of scientific literature on research issues has shown that the modern family performs not only reproductive functions, but also the functions of preserving and reproducing cultural values, allowing society and the state to maintain stability and develop in the conditions of globalization and active influence on society through the imposition of new cultural values. The scientific novelty lies in the proposed author's typology of modern types of family education, depending on the transmitted cultural values. As a conclusion, the statement is substantiated that the family broadcasting religious and traditional values most correspond to the spiritual and moral ideals of Russian society, its civic interests, at the same time, the values of initiative, independence in decision-making, broadcast to a greater extent in the family of liberal values, are most relevant for the modern system of public relations, for personalities of the post-industrial type.

Формирование стратегических приоритетов развития старопромышленных регионов Юга России

In the conditions of turbulence of the world economy, the formation of regional strategic priorities that contribute to ensuring sustainable economic growth and improvement of life standard of the population plays a special role in the sustainability of the country’s development. The existing stratification of regions determines the need to study the features of the development of such a category as the “old industrial region.” The aim of the study is to form strategic priorities that contribute to regional development of territories with predominant industrial production located in the south of the country. The methodology of the study includes statistical analysis of individual social and economic indicators of the situation of old industrial regions of the South of Russia in dynamics. The methods of retrospective, factorial, comparative, economic-statistical, and situational analyses were applied. As a result of the conducted research, the definition of the term “old industrial region” is given, which allows to present the specifics of this territorial unit. The paper analyses a number of key economic indicators of the Astrakhan, Volgograd, and Rostov regions, which allows to assess the state of the region and the potential of its innovative development. The authors draw conclusion that, despite the common initial characteristics of old industrial regions of the South that appeared after the collapse of the Soviet Union, each of them, having a heterogeneous resource base, needs an individual approach when choosing strategic development priorities based on a detailed analysis of economic indicators as well as their potential. Old industrial regions can move along three different development trajectories: modernization of existing industries with the introduction of innovations; development of new areas of industrial production; orientation to the post-industrial type of economic development with an emphasis on the service sector. At the same time, such regions need attention and involvement from the state, but in different degrees and forms.

Human capital: concept formation and major stages

A successful technological advancement, wide initiative of the population in the sphere of the development of its potential and steady economic upturn characterize a successful growth of the society. These base principles promote the transition to a new social-economic formation – the economy of the post-industrial type. The successful economy of post-industrial type depends on the labor productivity, talent, knowledge, competency etc., which build the national industrial system.

Forms of implementation of corporate rights of the members of commercial corporations: history, current contradictions and development prospects

The purpose of the study is to identify problems arising from the discrepancy between the norms of the current corporate legislation, whose basic principles were laid down during the development of the industrial type of economic development, and the current stage, characterized by the active development of the post-industrial type of economy. The subject of the study is the forms of realization of the corporate rights of members in commercial corporations, and, above all, business entities. The research employs the following scientific methods of analysis: historical analysis of the influence of economic development factors (types of activity, scale of activity, significant resources) on the forms of exercising corporate rights of corporation members and analysis of correspondence of modern forms of realization of corporate rights to the system of interests of the members of post-industrial types of corporations at the modern stage of economic development. The research results. In the traditional economy of the industrial type, the main significant resource is non-current tangible and current assets. Today their cost estimate determines the volume of corporate rights. In the post-industrial economy, non-current intangible assets become the main significant resource; their evaluation seems to be problematic in a significant number of cases. The research reveals the problems of inconsistency of modern forms of realization of corporate rights of members in the post-industrial corporations with the system of interests of members - carriers of a creative resource (ideas, professional knowledge, etc.) - in such corporations. Practical implementation of the research outcome is realized in suggestions and recommendations that can be applied both in the field of improving corporate legislation and legal support of commercial corporations’ activities. Among other things, a forecast of trends in the development of corporate legislation in terms of implementation of corporate rights has been worked out.

Екосистема людських ресурсів організацій як концептологія та прикладна платформа людиноцентризму

The article provides argumentation regarding the the essence, composition and structure of the ecosystem of human resources of organizations in the contour of human-centeredness. The factors of paradigm changes in the management of human resources of organizations in the third decade of the XXI century are disclosed. Factual data of asymmetries and contradictions in the current state of the social and labor sphere in the global dimension, that become a threat to national security, are presented. The main drivers of the global economy have been allocated as evidence of the unattainability of social quality standards. The relevance of the ecosystem of human resources of organizations as the main focus of economic activity is substantiated. The understanding of the theoretical construct is revealed and the fundamental foundations of the conceptology of the ecosystem of human resources in the context of human-centeredness are outlined. Within the framework of the genesis, the components and semantic characteristics of the concept of «ecosystem» are highlighted. A comparative parallel is drawn between the ecosystem of human resources of organizations and traditional HR management. The innovations in social and labor relations, also in the in social and labor interaction of economic agents in the ecosystem are defined. The mental model of the ecosystem of human resources as one of the local components of the socioeconomic system and the «product» of economic convergence is disclosed. The actualization of new, non-standard, hybrid forms of relationships and interactions between socioeconomic agents is underlined. Emphasis is placed on the post-industrial type of social and labor convergence. A comprehensive map has been proposed, which clearly reflects the authors? own vision of the structure and component saturation of the ecosystem of human resources of organizations. The primacy and dominance of social policy in a human-oriented society are substantiated. The complex dimension of the human-centeredness model is emphasized and the components of this model are allocated. The authors? assessments of the future of man in the era of digitalization against the background of pessimistic forecasts of the gurus of modern economic thought are presented. The authors express the conviction of the need to establish a new worldview and human-oriented thinking for the sake of a balanced and agnostic perspective of sustainable socioeconomic, including socio-labor, development.

Digitalization of economies of low and middle income countries in the context of digital transformation

The article aims to quantify the relationship of the introduction of digital technologies on innovation, structural transformation of low- and middle-income economies through the correlation analysis of indicators of technological development (productivity of sectors) and structural transformation of Uzbekistan and Ukraine ( share of value-added and employment of sectors of the economy) for 1991-2019 to assess the relationship between technology and structural shifts through the channels of value-added and employment. It is revealed that Ukraine and Uzbekistan have undergone structural transformations of the economy in favor of the service sector, while the agricultural and industrial sectors produce less and less. If Uzbekistan remains the industrial-agrarian country with an aggregate share of the added value of these sectors 59% in 2019, Ukraine transits to the post-industrial type of economy where the added value of the service sector in GDP grows (55% compared to agrarian and industrial sectors at 42%).

История изучения политической культуры в научной литературе с социологических позиций

During the formation of a new post-industrial type of society, the study of the history of political culture becomes very relevant. This is necessary for a more complete analysis of its current state and development prospects. The article considers the approaches that have developed in the scientific literature to date, such as subjectivist, normative, complex and symbolic. They are presented in chronological order and with the application of a dialectical approach to the development of knowledge. In addition, special emphasis is placed on the contribution of sociologists to the study of political culture. Each approach has its own causes, its strengths and weaknesses, and even after some negation of the previous one at the subsequent stage of development of political culture research enriches the previous one. The approaches are considered from an ontological point of view and from the standpoint of studying the static and dynamic state of this phenomenon. The author’s definition of political culture is presented. In the future, studies of political culture will again concern its content, but using different approaches and achievements of other sciences, which is due to the state of research on this phenomenon and trends in the development of modern society.

PLANNING OF SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY

The work is devoted to the consideration of the concepts of the spatial development of the cities of Ukraine taking into account today's specifics of the formation of institutes of their management. The issues discussed in this article are relevant to almost any city in modern Ukraine at the stage of transition of the country from industrial to post-industrial type. Among the most pressing issues are the rational use of territorial resources and environmental security within urban systems. There is also a trend of uneven economic development in urban areas. The solution to this problem is the balanced development of urban space with a diversified economy and infrastructure, as well as high quality of life. The formation of multifunctional urban areas will ensure sustainable spatial development of the city and significantly affect the quality of life. Identifying areas within the city that are inefficiently used and have additional development potential will provide an important resource, which, unlike remote areas, is already provided with transport and engineering infrastructure. Efficient use of territorial resources will allow the formation of a rational compact planning structure of the city. The housing of high quality should be provided with the necessary social and transport infrastructure, be diverse, medium, and multi-story. Comfortable stay of citizens in public spaces involves the integration of public spaces into the cultural life of the city based on the expansion of existing and introduction of new functional content, including the implementation of commercial initiatives and their use in organizing important socio-cultural projects. A comfortable stay in the city largely depends on the architectural appearance of its historic and modern buildings. Existing buildings create the front line of streets, form the environment of public spaces, define the line of the city silhouette. Filling the existing recreational areas included in the system of public spaces with new meanings to citizens.

Development Of The Economy Of Knowledge In Different Countries

Creating conditions for R&D in a post-industrial type of development is an extremely urgent task. Thanks to its scientific potential, the economy will be in a much more advanced position. The article examines the current state of research and development, knowledge economy and innovation. The factors of accelerated development of R&D in the knowledge economy are identified. The requirements for creating systemic prerequisites for the formation of the knowledge economy and innovation environment are discussed separately.

Analysis of the Dynamics of Structural Processes in the Context of Ensuring Sustainable Development

The tendencies and the extent of structural changes in the economy of the regions of Ukraine in the context of ensuring its sustainable development are examined in the context of the types of economic activity in terms of gross value added (GVA) during 2011-2018. In particular, the rate of change in the share of the structural mass of the economy of the regions that occurred during this period is estimated; the dynamic processes that took place in the structure of the economy of Ukrainian regions are analyzed. The analysis of the mass of structural changes shows their insignificant scale and reduction of the share in the structure of gross value added of such types of economic activity as industry, construction and finance. The estimation of intensity of structural changes by an indicator of average rates of their change shows low and rather differentiated level of intensity of structural changes in the context of types of economic activity. During the analyzed period, the annual average rate of structural changes in Ukraine was 0.131. Based on the calculation of the rate of structural changes, it is proved that structural changes in the economy of Ukraine are quite slow and are characterized by significant interregional differentiation, and the lack of positive dynamics in increasing the speed of structural changes in education is the main obstacle to creating an innovation-oriented model of economic development and reorientation of the structure of the regional economy to the requirements of the post-industrial type to the established concepts and dominants of sustainable development in accordance with EU standards.

Методологічні засади неопротекціонізму в епоху діджитилізації

The article is devoted to defining the methodological foundations of neoprotectionism in the era of digitization. It was determined that the current state of global economic development contributes to the transformation of the production paradigm, and it also changes the traditional perception of the foreign economic strategies of the countries in the world. The traditional view of scientists on the policy of protectionism was considered. The consequences of protectionist measures for countries in the long term were highlighted. It was substantiated that in the new conditions of post-industrial development, the policy of protectionism acquires a new meaning. It is also determined that the process of digitization becomes especially relevant after the COVID-19 pandemic, as evidenced by the global trend of transforming the world economy on the basis of digital technologies. It was determined that these processes require the protection of digital services’ national providers and the activation of regulatory mechanisms in the context of global digitization. It was determined that a new type of protectionist measures in the context of digitization (digital protectionism) is implemented by establishing barriers or obstacles to digital trade while simultaneously promoting the formation of national digital companies in order for the country to acquire new comparative advantages. The measures of digital protectionism in the countries of Asia, the European Union, the USA, etc. have been analyzed. The relevance of digital protectionism for Ukraine is justified in order to increase the competitiveness of the country's economy by the comparative advantages’ development in modern technological industries in the conditions of the formation of a post-industrial type of economy. The following methods were used: the historical-logical method to determine the historical objective prerequisites for the formation of protectionist policy; the method of comparative analysis - for the analysis of modern measures of digital protectionism in different countries of the world; methods of analysis and synthesis, system generalization - for systematization of research results.

With its scientific potential, the economy will be in a significant advanced position compared to developing countries. The article examines the current state of research in the field of the economy of knowledge and innovation, reveals the factors of accelerated development of the knowledge economy. Separately, the requirements are disclosed that make it possible to create systemic prerequisites for the formation of a knowledge economy and an innovation environment.

РОЛЬ СФЕРЫ УСЛУГ В СОЦИАЛЬНО-ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОМ РАЗВИТИИ МОСКВЫ

The article shows the determining role of the service sector in the economic and social development of Moscow. The dynamics of changes in the share of services in the structure of employment, the general building fund development, the production of gross regional product, the income and expenditure of the city budget are examined. The levels of the service sector development in Moscow and abroad in terms of the share of the service economy in the structure of employment and the production of gross regional product are compared. It is concluded that the service sector development in Moscow corresponds to that in the economically developed foreign countries. The service sector affects the social development of society, the growth of human potential, determines the lifestyle of the population, the model of consumer behavior. A developed service sector creates a comfortable urban environment, provides a high quality of life. The role of the service sector in the socioeconomic development of Moscow is studied. The growth of the share of the services economy in the structure of the socioeconomic complex is revealed; it is typical for the stage of transition to post-industrial development. The relationship between the dynamics and structure of the service sector, the formation of a new model of employment, life quality improvement, and human capital development is determined. The main components of the quality of life that determine the needs for the development and placement of service facilities in the city are considered. The role of the service sector in the socioeconomic development of Moscow for accounting in forecasting, design and management decisions in the development of social, administrative and business facilities in the city, the creation of jobs in the service economy in the transition to the knowledge economy and information technology is assessed. The research is carried out on the basis of official statistics (Rosstat, Mosgorstat), branch departments and directorates of Moscow. Statistical, analytical, sociological methods of research, expert assessments, analogies, field survey, mathematical modeling are used. The tendency is noted of the increasing role of the service sector in the socioeconomic development of Moscow, characteristic of the transition to the post-industrial type of economy: the growth of the share of the service economy in the structure of the economic complex, the growing impact on the level and quality of life, the reproduction of human capital, the formation of a comfortable environment. The tasks and main directions of the development of social infrastructure, an important component of the service sector, are formulated. The role of the service sector in the socioeconomic development of Moscow consists in (1) influencing the economic growth, the structure of the city’s economic complex, the increase in the share of the service economy, and qualitative changes in the industries that are characteristic of the transition to post-industrial development, and (2) in influencing the social development of the city: maintaining the reproduction of human potential, improving the life quality of the population. In recent years, the service sector, including its most important component – social infrastructure, is becoming a priority sector of the economy, which corresponds to global trends in the transition to a knowledge economy.

On Substantiation of the Project «Foundation of Cooperation is Respect of National Authenticity» in Terms of Implementation of Mega-Project «New Silk Road»

Present-day world economy presents a complex system of economic interrelations of its subjects. An opportunity of incrementing usefulness can be either elemental (for limited number of participants) or maximally complicated or more likely unobtainable (for major part of the countries in the world). The practice testifies that a timely performed transition to the post-industrial type of development can contribute not only to beneficiation of the corresponding courtiers but also to expansion of еtheir living space by means of export alongside with national goods and services of their own culture, traditions and mode of life. As a variant of not only the reserve of economic development of agrarian and industrial countries of the post-Soviet region but a salvation of their cultural identity and language originality, the article offers a project aimed at preservation of the national languages in Russia and Central Asian countries. Its implementation is possible in terms of the format developed in 2013 by PRC «New Silk Road». The financial support of this «global project» can be based on the local business idea of creating an ethno-park in Bolshoye Goloustnoye settlement, which warrants the availability of demand for studying cultures, traditions of the world’s national ethnos, as well as preservation of the national languages.

Ukrainian national idea in the era of post-industrial (informational) society

The content of the Ukrainian national idea in the era of transition from industrial to post-industrial(informational) type of society is revealed. It is demonstrated that in the transition to a post-industrial society, thenational idea as a product of an industrial society requires a significant transformation. In a post-industrial society,the national idea should be focused on the production of post-economic values and active social regulation, themaximum use of the creative (creative) potential of members of the national community, the formation of anew type of family and new forms of social partnership, the increasing role of knowledge (scientific and parascientific)and changes in the education system. It is determined that the national idea, taking into account theetymology of the components of this construct, acts as a key idea in understanding the nature of the nation andthe prospects for its development.It is determined that the national idea must be understood in the context of the special conditions of lifeof the people throughout its history. It reflects the deep level of national consciousness, advocates all forms ofreflection of the nation (person) over issues of the essence of the national community and the meaning of itsexistence. Throughout its history, Ukraine has sought to build its own state on a democratic, legal and socialbasis and, having gained independence in 1991, these value dominants were entrenched at the constitutionallevel. At the present stage of nation-building, the key direction in the formation of a national idea is to determinethe optimal model that should underpin state-building – ethno-cultural or civic.It is proved that the Ukrainian national idea, having passed the difficult historical path of aging and formation,today requires substantial modernization, adaptation to the realities of the transitional society, civilizational,geopolitical, economic challenges of the 21st century. The national idea should take into account the changesthat occur in the social and economic structure of society, and incorporate into the body of the nation-buildingstrategy those goals and ways to achieve them that actualize post-material values, pay attention to the needsof self-development and self-improvement of the individual. The formula of the Ukrainian national idea isproposed, which consists of strategic and operational-tactical components, designed for different time periods– short, medium and long term. The strategic components of the modern Ukrainian national idea include theslogans ‘Ukraine is a conciliar, European, decent state and a nation’, ‘Equality of all citizens before the law,freedom of life strategies, respect for the national and cultural traditions of the Ukrainian people and ethniccommunities living on its territory’, ‘Democracy in all spheres of public life, the embodiment of moral standardsin social relations’. The operational-tactical components of the modern Ukrainian national idea include theslogans ‘Knowledge, information, movement (action)’.

Actual tendencies in the evolution of financial sciences

Abstract Present article places in the center of attention finance as a science, which examines all relations of distributive and redistributive nature between different economic actors related to the formation and use of monetary resources and funds. Finance has a relatively long history of development, with ongoing substantial transformation. The results of generalization of related studies show that there are three periods in the genesis of finance as a science. First is the scientific status. Second - is related to the transition to the scientific process. The third is the scientific or rational. The fourth period is related to the formation of the neoclassical theory of finance. This transformation takes place so far under the influence of a new factor related to the establishment of the post industrial type economy. Equally important was the process of internationalization and then - of globalization. Last has a double impact. On one side, there is the consolidation of the financial system scientifically accepted as the single global vision on different areas of financial sciences. From the other hand, there is the process of adaptation and development of scientific concepts under the influence of new financial and economic conditions imposed by the superlative form related to globalization. The development of the financial sciences is also related to the need to solve a large complex of important problems of a financial nature, which will ultimately lead to the change of the global financial picture.

PROBLEMS OF COMPACT CITIES OF PROVINCIAL RUSSIA OF THE ХХI CENTURY
