The article is devoted to the concept of “civilization state” as a direction in the development of civilizational theory. It analyzes the history of scientific application of the concept of civilization, the content, composition and structure of civilizations, historical and geopolitical determinants of the confrontation between the West and Russia, the deepening of the civilizational confrontation “West - Russia” in the 21st century, the phenomena of “nation state” and “civilization state”, the civilizationally determined trends of transformation of the modern world order. Initially used to describe the social and political life in different countries, at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries civilization theory became an independent scientific direction. Its breakthrough achievement was the understanding of history as a multitude of local civilizations with unique specificity. The analysis of the content, composition and structure of local civilizations, their subsystems and elements united into unique integral conglomerates became a promising direction of civilization research. Historical and geopolitical determinants of the confrontation between the West and Russia, its deepening in the 21st century are explored. Particular attention is paid to “nation states” and “civilization states” as terms widely used in contemporary civilizational theory, reflecting different civilization-determined ways of domestic and foreign policy behavior of the states. Assumptions are formulated about their further coexistence and interaction, upcoming transformations of the world order, and the new stage in the development of civilizational theory.

The nature of the emergence of the need to introduce computers, introduce digital technologies and conduct digital transformations is analyzed. It is proposed to consider digital transformation as a response to civilizational challenges, the essence of which is reduced to the existence of civilizational cognitive contradictions of mankind. It is the presence of civilizational cognitive contradictions that is a prerequisite for the systemic adoption of wrong decisions, the unrestrained accumulation of which is the source of degradation of civilization. An understanding of the civilizational mission of digital transformation has been formed.

Full textAbstract:
The research is devoted to the study of the influence of the transformation of civilizational determinants on the processes of formation of the political and administrative elite of modern Russia. Through the prism of geopolitical analysis, the authors state that the current phase of globalization is undergoing deep systemic and structural crises, causing changes in the factors shaping the contours of modern civilizations. These factors are the determinants of civilizational development, the transformation of which is observed in several main areas. The authors believe that the civilizational approach to the analysis of global processes better reflects the real picture of the formation of a multipolar world and civilizations than the idealistic one, and also helps to fix and understand the metamorphoses in the generation and behavior of political elites. Thus, Russia's conservative turn towards positioning itself as a local civilization leads to noticeable changes in the process of elitogenesis, becoming nationally oriented, centralized and ideologized. Consequently, the authors conclude that civilizational factors in the near future will determine the appearance of the elite groups of the Russian state-civilization.

In the conditions of the global crisis of the modern world order, the nation-state ceases to be a form adequate to the globalizing world, transforming into corporations-states, on the one hand, and into states-civilizations, on the other. This objectively leads to the transformation of the concept of national security into the concept of civilizational security, corresponding to the needs of transforming states and societies in the conditions of active confrontation of competing concepts of the future global world order.Aim. Substantiation of the evolution of the concept of national security into the concept of civilizational security and identification of its essence.Tasks. Identification of objective reasons for the evolution of security concepts, their differences and essence, development of proposals for the formation of the concept of Eurasian civilizational security.Methods. The structural-functional approach, comparative-historical analysis, system analysis, generalization, synthesis were used.Results. In the process of the development of the global crisis of the world order, there is a growing crisis of national states as a form of organization of societies. In parallel with the transformation of the nation-state into a corporation-state and a state-civilization, there is an objective process of formation of a new concept of civilizational security. The main objects of civilizational security are systems of civilizational values and civilizational identities that ensure the very existence of both civilizations and civilizational States.Conclusions. The ess ence of civilizational security is the maintenance and defense by civilization of its identity based on its own system of values, its model of society and the state, its system of historical and spiritual coordinates.

Introduction. The relevance of the analysis of civilizational transformations in Russia is explained, first of all, by the vast vicissitudes of its political, economic and socio-cultural development in recent decades. The importance of the topic is growing, since the content of the philosophical problem in the period of building a multipolar world is supplemented by geopolitical components. Methods. The work used historical and dialectical methods, as well as systems analysis. Results. In modern scientific research, the ideas of linear and cyclical development are no longer opposed to each other as rigidly as was customary in the 19th – 20th centuries. The development of the concept of “axial time” by K. Jaspers leads to the idea that local civilizations, throughout their development, undergo significant transformations, while maintaining their own uniqueness. The concept of “civilizational transformations” is closely related to the category of “social transformations” that has developed in the scientific literature, however, it focuses primarily on cultural changes that cover the spiritual sphere of society. Discussion and Conclusion. At present, there is a need to include the concept of “civilizational transformations” in the scientific circulation, which in its most general form describes all possible changes in civilization on the way of its development. Civilizational transformations not only change the social code in the spiritual sphere, but also significantly affect the transformation of social, political and economic institutions.

Full textAbstract:
Under the current civilizational crisis, we need a promising model of the civilizational world order and we have to focus on its features and advantages compared to the historically preceding types of civilizations. The authors solve two main tasks: first, they explain the identification of the main types of civilizational development in the diachronic dimension and in search of a civilizational project that meets best the contemporary needs and realities; second, they examine the spiritual-ecological development strategy as a basic model of the civilizational future. Based on the civilizational approach in its diachronic dimension, the authors identify the historical types of the global world order. Unlike the common typology - traditional/preindustrial, industrial/ technogenic and post-industrial/information civilizations, the authors distinguish traditional/ biocentric, technogenic-consumer/technocentric and spiritual-ecological/noospheric civilizations, and focus on the description of the last one. The spiritual-ecological type of civilization is not presented as a purely ideal project, because it has already been partially implemented in different periods and in different cultures. Today, its implementation at a qualitatively new level can help to overcome the contradictions of the current crisis in the global development. Russia has certain prerequisites for the development of such a promising model - rich natural resources, historically established spiritual values, and opportunities for a new Eurasian integration. The sociological analysis of the youth value priorities indicates the attractiveness of the new civilization and the partial readiness of the youth to become real actors of the civilizational transformation. Thus, the authors conclude that the current period can become transitional - from the technogenic-consumer to the spiritual-ecological type of the global world order.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this research is the conflict models of transformation of civilizational political projects: “cyclic models” of conflict transformations, “linear” models of conflicts transformations, “impulse models” of conflict transformations, “discrete models” of conflict transformations. Analysis is conducted on the factors and mechanisms of conflict transformations of civilizational political projects: “energy sources” of conflict transformations, impact of “sociocultural potential” of a civilizational political project upon the character and vector of its changes. The article also assesses the heuristic capabilities of civilizational-project methodology of studying transformations of civilizational political projects. Methodological framework is comprised of the civilizational theory coupled with the project approach. The author examines the causes of conflict transformations of civilizational political projects, as well as highlights typical models of conflict transformations. The modern scientific literature has multiple studies dedicated to the specificity of creation, implementation and maintenance of civilizational political projects. The internal mechanism of their creation and functionality are subjected to detailed expert examination. At the same time, systematic scientific research that touch upon the problematic of transformation of civilizational political projects are carried out fragmentarily. It particularly pertains to the works focused on the conflict aspects of transformations of political projects.

Full textAbstract:
The article attempts to analyze the phenomenon of a country-civilization as a cultural and civilizational organ-ism in history and modernity. The study focuses on the main features and peculiarities of the country-civilization, as well as on the status of this category in the context of determining its objective-ontological es-sence. The author analyzes the consequences of the crisis of unipolar globalism, and emphasizes the socio-historical process of forming countries-civilizations as an objectively necessary response to the transformation-al crises of the world global system. The formation of countries-civilizations during the reconfiguration of the global system requires not only the process of transition from linear-progressive development to civilizational, but their synthesis. The study aims to identify and analyze the main features and patterns of the genesis of a country-civilization. The general basis of the study is the method of philosophical and cultural reconstruction and the method of substantive-semantic interpretation, the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, as the main method of the social and humanitarian sciences. The scientific novelty of the study is that it specifically analyz-es the main features, patterns of formation and development of a country-civilization. In the course of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that a country-civilization is not just a type of state, but an integral cultural and civilizational formation, which in a certain historical period of time is incremented, realizing itself in the pro-cess of transition to higher stages of social development, increasingly multiplying the civilizational uniqueness of globalization.

Given the definition of «transformation», which is a set of processes that determine the dynamics of social development of civilizations on the modern stage. The article gives a brief analysis of scientific research on the problems of interaction and confrontation of individual local socio-cultural communities. Analyses the concept of «local civilization», the reasonability of its use in modern research on socio-cultural transformations of individual countries or group of countries United.

Identify important implications of globalization for the world in General and for some individual countries. It is proved that different civilizational community characterized by different fundamental orientation – traditional society, where the basis is the tradition, the Canon of life and the Foundation of development, and technological society, where the main credo of existence is determined through constant upgrading.Research the issue of inter-civilizational dialogue and first of all identify its capabilities are marked by profound differences in the public mentality within each type of civilizations on the basis of features of development macrocells of East and West in their dialectical contradiction. When researching the issue of transformation and interaction of local civilizations were considered two trends of this process – globalism and the so-called traditionalism. The findings indicated that continuous absorption of technogenic civilization of traditional societies will only exacerbate the conflict and complicate the search for dialogue between the two world macrocells – Eastern and Western. Identified areas for further research that will focus on the positive of globalization that will facilitate the exchange of cultural and historical experiences and the overcoming of conflicts between local civilizations.

Full textAbstract:
While most scholars agree that the development of increasingly sophisticated computer-based technologies over the past thirty years and their ubiquitous use in work settings are important technological transformations, it is still question whether they constitute large-scale and meaningful social transformations. In this dissertation, it is argued that transformations cannot be understood by studying technologies in isolated and circumscribed analyses, rather they must be understood in the historical and socio-political context of their development and use. Several important questions are being asked: Will social relations in work settings be transformed so that they are more collaborative and less hierarchical, as many proponents of new group support systems predict? Will workers in computer-using organizations share equally in the production and control of skills and knowledge? Or will the use of new technologies reinforce and reproduce the current distribution of power, authority and knowledge in organizations? In order to answer these questions, a meta-analytic framework is developed. It comprises a continuum from micro- to macro-social interaction contexts, including six key fields of action surrounding the use of new technologies: (1) design; (2) use; (3) infrastructure of support; (4) work group governance; (5) organizational contexts; and (6) organizational fields. Four field studies are conducted with in vivo, ongoing organizational work groups using three new computer-based information technologies. There is little indication that hierarchical forms of work group governance are being restructured along the lines of more flexible and collaborative forms of work organization. There is, however, some evidence for power shifts among relatively disenfranchised high status participants in ongoing project teams. In addition, distinctive cultures emerged in ongoing groups that used group collaboration systems. In the desktop computing and desktop group support system work groups, skills and knowledge about their own computing environment were differentially distributed, so that lower status workers were less knowledgeable. Thus, the routine use of new technologies is most likely to reinforce the current distribution of authority and power in organizations.

Full textAbstract:
Literary texts of medieval England feature trees as essential to the individual and communal identity as it intersects with nature, and the compelling qualities and organic processes associated with trees help vernacular writers interrogate the changing nature of this character. The early depiction of trees demonstrates an intimacy with nature that wanes after the tenth-century monastic revival, when the representation of trees as living, physical entities shifts toward their portrayal as allegorical vehicles for the Church's didactic use. With the emergence of new social categories in the late Middle Ages, the rhetoric of trees moves beyond what it means to forge a Christian identity to consider the role of a ruler and his subjects, the relationship between humans and nature, and the place of women in society. Taking as its fundamental premise that people in wooded regions develop a deep-rooted connection to trees, this dissertation connects medieval culture and the physical world to consider the variety of ways in which Anglo-Saxon and post-Norman vernacular manuscripts depict trees. A personal identification with trees, a desire for harmony between society and the environment, and a sympathy for the work of trees lead to the narrator's transformation in the Dream of the Rood. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Junius 11 manuscript, illustrated in Genesis A, Genesis B, and manuscript images, scrutinizes the Anglo-Saxon Christian's relationship and responsibility to God in the aftermath of the Fall. As writers transform trees into allegories in works like Genesis B and Geoffrey Chaucer's Parson's Tale, the symbolic representations retain their spontaneous, organic processes to offer readers a visual picture of the Christian interior-the heart. Whereas the Parson's Tale promotes personal and radical change through a horticultural narrative starring the Tree of Penitence and Tree of Vices, Chaucer's Knight's Tale appraises the role of autonomous subjects in a tyrannical system. Forest laws of the post-Norman period engender a bitter polemic about the extent of royal power to appropriate nature, and the royal grove of the Knight's Tale exposes the limitations of monarchical structures and masculine control and shapes a pragmatic response to human failures.

La première moitié du XXIe siècle est marquée par le phénomène profondément disruptif des innovations digitales et de leur psychosociologie, élargi à des game changers technologiques, situationnels et socioculturels, tous caractérisant la civilisation numérique. Cette recherche doctorale porte sur l’émergence des nouvelles compétences des managers dans le contexte de la civilisation numérique. Elle propose de compléter les matrices existantes de hard et soft skills par des nouvelles compétences, appelées compétences d’adaptation, spécialement conçues pour la réactivité de l’entreprise aux changements économiques, technologiques, écologiques, sociologiques et politiques, du monde extérieur dans le contexte de la civilisation numérique. Cette recherche exclusivement qualitative, visant à aller à l’encontre des idées reçues pour proposer un apport utile à la transformation des organisations, s’est organisée en deux temps. D’abord, une phase exploratoire a conduit à poser des hypothèses à partir notamment de l’expertise et des intuitions d’un groupe d’experts et de mon expérience terrain. Puis, une phase confirmatoire a visé à vérifier l’originalité et la solidité des hypothèses et des intuitions directement auprès des acteurs clés. Elle a produit un inventaire de dix-huit « bouleverseurs » (« game changers ») de la civilisation numérique et un modèle de vingt « compétences d’adaptation » des managers. En interrogeant les référentiels de compétences des managers hérités du passé sur leur capacité à accompagner les transformations d’organisations, le projet professionnel de cette recherche est de contribuer à sensibiliser les entreprises, leurs DRH, les dirigeants de l’enseignement supérieur, les formateurs et enseignants en gestion, sur la nécessité de faire évoluer la hiérarchie des compétences managériales requises pour le fonctionnement efficace des organisations et notamment des entreprises pour les prochaines décennies du XXIe siècle. Ce travail de recherche veut inviter le monde professionnel et universitaire à poursuivre la transformation d’un modèle de compétences managériales plus adapté à l’écosystème dans lequel les entreprises et organisations devront vivre et se développer au fil des prochaines décennies<br>The beginning of the 21st century has experienced a revolution due to digital innovations. This revolution has provoked technological, situational and sociocultural changes creating our digital civilization at the same time. This doctoral thesis focuses on the new emerging skills of managers in the context of digital civilization. The purpose of my research was to complement the current “hard and soft” skills with skills of a new nature. I have designated them as: “adaptive skills”. Thanks to these, companies are to react better to economic, technological, sustainable, sociological, and political changes in their environment. This qualitative research aimed to help the transformation of organizations by disproving preconceived ideas. It consists of two parts. Firstly, I came to a hypothesis from an exploration of debates with an expert group and my own experience. Secondly, I checked the robustness of that hypothesis by involving stakeholders like digital innovators, transformation leaders and operational managers. The research has resulted in a model with 18 “game changers” and 20 “adaptive skills”. This research has shown that current competency models are not fully adapted to the context of digital civilization (in the first 50 years of the 21st century). They don't take new trends and current game changers into account. It shows why Human Resources departments should rethink their managerial skills approach by integrating the “adaptive skills”. In a fast-paced environment, this research also invites management school Deans to take those new skills into account in the preparation of the future managers

Full textAbstract:
This study begins by highlighting the fact that after identifying the causes of defects in the socio-economic development of Africa and its populace African scholars argue for the re-centering of African cultural heritage as a strategy for (re)-construction and socioeconomic development. In fact, the alienation and marginalization of African cultural values and traditions by the designs of colonialism and apartheid have resulted in the distortion and disorientation of some of the most fundamental aspects of the culture of the colonized. Undeniably, this phenomenon contributed immensely to the situation of 'underdevelopment' in Africa Culturally, people were prevented from engaging the European culture(s) on their own terms. Economically - because the African cultural heritage was degraded to the level of the 'savage', the 'primitive', 'uncivilized' and even the level of the 'superstitious' or 'mystical' compared to the ' logical' found in the Western cultural thought and behaviour - African people(s) were mostly prevented from participating in the development of the continent. More importantly, given the present unfolding scenario of the African leaders' dream for an African century- manifested in the transformation of the Organization of African Union into the African Union (AU) (during the week of the 9 to 12 July 2001) and the vision and mission of New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) - juxtaposing this ideal to the pressures globalisation process exerts on the African continent, this study III seeks to identify essential elements of African Cultural Heritage that (if reclaimed and redefined) can contribute towards the transformation and development of (South) Africa and its people. The two critical questions here are: (a) Against the backdrop of Africa's economic disposition, what is the way forward for the continent to extricate itself from the quagmire of poverty, disease and instability? (b) Is Pan-Africanism the solution to the African crisis in the 2IIt century and the globalizing world? The African Renaissance discourse (as a new Pan-Africanism vision in the 2IIt century and a philosophical framework for (re)-construction and development) is central to this study, precisely because no nation that was uprooted from its soul can be able to recover wholly and progress without basing its socio-economic development plans on its own cultural identity and self-knowledge. It is hoped that this study will form part of existing critical resource material concerning the legacy of underdevelopment, and the constructive proposals and strategies critical in the socio-economic (re)-construction and development of Africa in the context of g1obalisation and its marginalising tendencies and practices against the countries of the South.<br>Thesis (M.A.)-University of Durban-Westville, 2004.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the transformation of a small town in South East Transylvania, Sighisoara, historically defined through a strong German presence. Despite the small number of Germans remaining in the region after the massive migrations of the last decades, historical German privilege (made visible through and materialized in the long-lasting architecture) is reformulated and re-configured in the present precisely through processes connected to valuing and producing this built landscape as historical heritage. Claims for stakes in the development of the area become entangled with an interest in heritage preservation publicly performed by a diverse set of (mostly foreign) actors. By analyzing a failed development project, the gentrification of the historical citadel, transformations in public spaces, and NGO and historical preservation funding, I argue that Germanness offers a discursive space in which local desires for a developed West are able to articulate, productively, with Western nostalgias for a developmental do-over, as well as with fears for an endangered European heritage at the 'margins' of Western civilization. This dissertation contributes to the anthropology of post-socialist transformations in Eastern Europe by drawing attention to the relationship between ethnicity and participation in a global capitalism. It shows how a continuous, living engagement with the "outside," the "West," with consumer capitalism has been part of local quotidian subjectivities and understandings of the world, all mediated by desire and access to mobility and possibility. Understandings of people's current relationship with development, consumption, the idea and reality of capitalism cannot be disentangled from these continuities, and I argue for locating analysis precisely in these relationships. This dissertation also brings a critical native voice to the body of English language Eastern European anthropology. At the same time, it attempts to both build on and disrupt historical approaches to the region by forging analytical and substantive continuities with discipline-wide approaches to ethnicity, development, and heritage tourism.<br>text

AbstractThis chapter takes not only into a historic perspective that looks at human consciousness development over many millennia, but emphasizes the importance of mythology as the most deeply ingrained way of humankind to keep learning for transformations. The author argues, contrary to the modern mind’s needs, that the creative aspect of change or transformation is not order, but disorder or chaos. To avoid the final fragmentation or destruction of our world, the intuitive ‘universal power of self-renewal’ (the life instinct) needs to be reintegrated into rational science, to fill our scientific particularization (the death instinct) with meaning, which is adequate to living in a humane way on our planet. This makes the story of the soul (Greek: psyche), which is passed on by peoples and cultures in a nonlinear-out-of-time-way, not only an important resource to understand the entire civilizational process and subsequently the development of regenerative civilizations. By allowing the forthcoming of an innate integral structure in the human mind, which uses both rationality and intuition, creative mythology is a discipline important for transformation literacy. It can contribute to the so much needed acceleration and speed up the process of collective regeneration, because this is a creative act and unleashes what was previously impossible.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe extractive sector is vital for many resource-rich countries and has enormous potential to propel economic prosperity. Many countries have introduced mining reforms to manage their resource wealth but struggle to achieve desired results due to weak governance. Thus, regional and international organizations have developed governance frameworks to strengthen mining governance. Tax transparency, a fundamental component of these frameworks, is widely acknowledged as a mechanism for enhancing information accessibility to mitigate corruption and foster desirable values, such as democracy and accountability, to avoid negative resource governance outcomes. The impact of mining reforms driven by international governance frameworks for strengthening governance remains unproven. Existing literature on the impact of global governance frameworks on mining governance and development outcomes remains limited, creating a notable gap in understanding. This chapter addresses this gap by examining the implementation of tax transparency within international and domestic mining frameworks. It offers a comparative analysis of the implementation of tax transparency in Tanzania and Kenya, shedding light on their experiences. This chapter discusses the practical implications and challenges encountered in the implementation of transparency policies, drawing valuable lessons and recommendations regarding the role of tax transparency in transformation of mining governance.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAfrica, the cradle of mankind and civilization, presents the best example of a people falling from the most culturally and technologically advanced society to the most backward and marginalized. While other ancient civilizations like China, Babylon, and India either transformed and survived or persisted in the case of China, the Egyptian civilization was destroyed and was never to recover. The University of Sankore at Timbuktu, established in the 13th century and recognized by many scholars as one of the oldest universities on earth, is testimony to the advancement in scholarship that Africa had attained before any other civilization. But that is all history. Instead, Africa remains the most marginalized continent, viewed by many as a hopeless sleeping giant without any hope for awakening and moving forward as part of a modern global society.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter suggests that humankind needs to reconsider its relationship with the planet’s amazing miracle: Life. Shifts in mindsets need to reflect this emerging new view of reality. COVID-19 as a global pandemic has alerted many people not only to the need to realign humankind’s relationship with nature, but also highlighted the global interconnectedness and the vulnerability of people. The increasing concern for the future of humanity and our life-support system needs reflections about the underlying view of reality that informs approaches to transformations. If humanity wants to rise up to collective stewardship towards stabilizing the trajectories of our planet, transformation actors need to become humble partners of life’s potential to renew and replenish. The chapter introduces the concept of systems aliveness as a guiding compass for transformative change. It emphasizes that understanding what gives life to systems needs to be at the centre of emerging transformation literacy. Drawing from multiple, interdisciplinary sources of the systems aliveness approach offers an avenue to reorientate transformation efforts around six generic principles. Using these principles as a lens to designing transformation initiatives and translating them into a stewardship architecture provides creative pathways for the long journey to regenerative civilizations.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter looks at the scale and modes of transformations needed toward regenerative civilizations. Societal transformations have always happened in human history, and many have been consciously and actively promoted. What is new about the situation at the beginning of the twenty-first century is both scale and depth of transformations required. Institutional and political structures on which our globalized current systems are built, tend to perpetuate the status quo. It is therefore important to create new strategic and communicative structures in the form of cross-sector and cross-institutional collaboration that initiate and facilitate transformations. The chapter suggests that transformation agents need to act more consciously as part of transformation systems around issues such as climate protection, regenerative pathways and economic systems change. The chapter elaborates three strategic core approaches that require conscious attention in transformation literacy: Collective stewardship as the pro-active engagement for a regenerative future in mutually supportive strategies; visionary multiplicity as the acknowledgment of plural approaches to the quality of life; and network leverage as the deliberate and reflective use of power across institutions. The chapter concludes with an overview of the different authors’ chapters.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter introduces the term transformation literacy as an urgently required skill for decision-makers and change agents. It suggests that transformation literacy is the knowledge and capacity of collectives of individual and institutional actors to steward sustainability transformations effectively together across institutions, societal sectors and nations. This includes the human capacity to collectively identify and shift dysfunctional patterns of societal and human-to-nature interaction at local and global scales. The chapter summarizes why transformation efforts are needed to not only achieve the vision of a sustainable world at all scales, but also to charter pathways towards regenerative civilizations. It briefly analyses the current failing systems and suggests that there is a need to build societal structures and institutional systems that have systems aliveness as its core value. It explores the role of future narratives of emergency, which currently dominate the discourse around the climate crisis, and narratives of emergence that are increasingly used in the niches of pioneering new approaches to regenerative civilizations. The chapter suggests to deepen knowledge and practice in the three levels of transformation literacy: mindset shifts, systems understandingand process competence. It concludes with an overview how these three levels of transformation literacy inform the three parts of the book.

Since early times the civilization used to record and store their information about accumulated knowledge, everyday life necessities and other important things. Starting with clay tablets, stones and paper as a more advanced technology followed. Since that moment this trend made its way through centuries until nowadays, with new technological capabilities resulting in the form of digitalization. The paper discusses nuances of the terms, such as digitization, digitalization and digital transformation in scientific literature. The study is backed by discussion about digitalization's popularity, its impact and importance in our society as an irreversible process. The report provides a general insight into the motivation of researchers to conduct research on digitalization in various scientific fields. A historical overview of digitalization phenomena continues in two most popular databases (SCOPUS, Web of Science) insight, which is accompanied by statistical data about the evolving popularity of digitalization terms. Statistical methods were used to analyse data from different angles, including years, countries, languages and science sections, where digitalization terms are the central motive of research. Since first being mentioned in 1922 and a century later, in 2023, digitization terms have grown dramatically in popularity in scientific databases. In the Scopus database, the number of digitalization terms was less than 1000 by 2003, with the next doubling in volume occurring 9 years later in 2012. The next doubling took less than 5 years and it happened in 2017, and again the next one only two years later - in 2019. And already in 2023, it exceeded 21,000, which is a 1929% increase compared with 2003, which shows a genuine interest in the importance of the research into the given topic in modern scientific thought.

Full textAbstract:
From the perspective of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary synthesis, there was studied the conceptual and methodological certainty of the existing approaches to understanding digital transformation. The author proceeds from the fact that digital transformation is not only the new technology (artificial intelligence, blockchain, data analysis, Internet of things etc.), but also a deep transformation of the basics of life, the structure of organizations and enterprises, society as a whole. In other words, it is a fundamental transformation of traditional models of life organization, construction, and development of a new reality, which is not always tolerant to humans. Thus, digital transformation is considered as essential characteristic of the modern era, the formation of which was influenced by a number of factors of social dynamics. The key factors are informatization and total digitalization. These processes caused formation of new sociality, which was different from the previous types of civilizational development with a sharp increase of the role of temporal and artificial component in the structure of social-biological evolution. In conditions of intensive social dynamics, choice remains an essential characteristic of new sociality. At the same time, the subjective side of social choice is changing: it is not an atomic personality, group, institution, but a high tech social practice taken from the point of view of the system of interaction of agents that realize the social-economic expediency in line with intensive innovation transformation. There is substantiated the increasing importance of modern social-humanitarian knowledge as conceptual-categorical and methodological base of reflection and prediction of the processes of formation of new sociality. In the structure of scientific-methodological reflection, there is actualized the transdisciplinary status of philosophical knowledge and its potential in connection with new instrumental-technical capabilities of cognitive practice.

Full textAbstract:
Socio-economic transformations can be understood more clearly in the history of the broad period. Accordingly, we can speak of the rise and fall of civilizations. Numerous civilizations have formed in the world and many have disappeared. In this respect, the 21st century also undergoes important civilization transformations. In this century of technological change, the computer algorithm has reached a position that exceeds human intelligence for the first time. It is a serious danger for mankind that the control of political, social sovereignty are subject to a limited elite control, as well as significant differences in development between countries that have it and those who do not. It is envisaged that many areas of human endeavor will not be needed due to artificial intelligence tools and this will create a serious unemployment problem. This means that the freedoms of the individual and the individual will become insignificant. Therefore, there is a need for global co-operation that protects freedoms and regulates ethical norms in the 21st century. In particular, the proliferation of interdisciplinary studies is important, as social science studies tend to focus more on this field. So, in the future, either liberal freedoms will live or the dominance of computer algorithms called "dataism" will lead to a new "slavery" system. Within this context, it is hoped that Turkish Islamic civilization can create an alternative. This is because; in the past of this civilization there is an ideology that glorifies mankind. Especially with the leadership of Turkey it is possible to release this civilization from "twilight". The presentation includes titles for the breakthroughs to be made in this area.

Russian philosophy presents a special way of understanding the position of a person in the socio-economic transformations of society. It acts as a subject initially oriented towards social transformation, possessing an innate sense of collectivism or conciliarity, religious virtue and patriotism. The question is, to what extent will these qualities of the Russian person be in demand in the era of the global transition to a technotronic, digital civilization?

Full textAbstract:
The largest democracy in the world is now moving towards authoritarianism under the Hindutva civilizational populist prime minister Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s rule. This article focuses on digital rights in India that have seen a sharp decline in recent years. It explores the transformation of the internet and social media, from a relatively open and liberal space to a restricted one. This survey of India’s digital landscape finds that the rise of civilizational populist Modi and his eight years long rule have led to an upsurge in digital surveillance and control and has fostered an environment of online harassment and bullying for those who are critical of the BJP’s views and politics. The article uses a four-level framework (Full Network, Sub-Network, Proxies, and Network Nodes) to explore digital authoritarianism by the BJP government. At each of these levels, the Hindutva populist government has closed avenues of open discussion and exchange of views by enforcing new rules and regulations.

Full textAbstract:
This electronic resource contains a critical summary of the problems of sovereign statehood and the responsibility of public authority in the light of an interdisciplinary systemic organic approach. The author reveals the essence and content of the categories “sovereign statehood” and “responsibility of public authority” as key factors of the state legal system for ensuring the life of the Russian Federation in the conditions of the emergence of a new world order. It is shown that the multi-valued category of “statehood” (statehood, stateness, nationhood, nationness) reflects the complexity of the concept, which characterizes the status and ability of the state to carry out its functions, and on the other hand, reflects the cultural-historical and spiritual-ideological unity of society, which is the deepest internal semantic content both preceding the state and completing its sociohistorical formation in the course of state development and historical transformations. Based on the systemic-organic approach and within the framework of the structure of the Aristotelian tetrad, the author reveals an integral model of the political and legal phenomenon of “statehood”, in which the final cause (ethion) is determined by “sovereign statehood”, which presupposes unity, integrity, actual autonomy, independence, independence and self-sufficiency states in making decisions that ensure the historical existence and development of the country. The work presents a theoretical understanding of social (public) solidarity as a legal construct and instrument of social harmony and integrity of the state-legal body of the Russian Federation. It is shown that public solidarity, as a constitutional and administrative-legal phenomenon in its positive and negative forms, creates the necessary basis for the implementation of the principle of mutual responsibility of the individual, society and state. An idea of the responsibilities of the state, its bodies and officials to the individual and society is given, the role and place of public legal responsibility of holders of power in the solidary social mechanism is outlined. In general, the results of interdisciplinary research are aimed at identifying key factors in social theory and practice that contribute to the acquisition of true independence and self-sufficiency of Russian statehood and the preservation of the civilizational foundations of a multinational Russian society. The manual will be useful to undergraduate and graduate students studying social and political sciences, and anyone interested in the theory and practice of government.
