Tolstoukhov. A. The Creation of Eco-Future in the Context of Globalization: Problems of Governance and Development Perspectives.

The thesis is dedicated to investigating the correlation of globalization processes in today's society, tendencies in power sphere, and ecological perspectives of the humankind development under new scientific paradigm. In order to overcome the core contradiction of the sovereignty principles of national subjects and the objective necessity to unite them for solving the global problems, the economy-dominated paradigm of globalization must be replaced by that of culture-oriented. That would also prevent realization of one-sided westernization scenarios of globalization. The author shows that effective governance over human activity under the situation of cognitivization of power is impossible without knowledge based on new self-organization paradigm of science. The priority of ecological imperatives in policy-making is stated to be indispensable condition for the creation of eco-future.
