The qualifying work analyzed the phenomenon of geopolitical reformatting in the conditions of transitivity and crisis of the globalized society, non-linear development of the world-system.
In the context of growing large-scale global challenges, such as climate change, pandemics, lack of food security and irrational use of energy, the full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine, the importance of researching the topic of geopolitical changes, especially in the scientific discourse of socio-philosophical methodologies that allow identifying the root causes of crisis geopolitical and social conditions of our time.
Connection of work with scientific programs and topics. The dissertation was completed as part of the research work of the department of philosophy, public administration and social work.
The topic of the dissertation was approved by the Scientific and Technical Council of the Zaporizhia National University (protocol No. 4 dated November 16, 2017).
The purpose of the dissertation is to carry out a socio-philosophical analysis of geopolitical reformatting in the conditions of transitivity of a globalized society.
According to the goal, the following research tasks are defined:
- to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the phenomenon of geopolitical reformatting;
- to define the concept, structure, models of geopolitical reformatting;
- to find out the meanings, consequences, conditioning, degree of rationality of geopolitical reformatting of the modern globalized world;
- to determine the determinants of changes and socio-political trends of scenarios of geopolitical reformatting;
- justify the significance of the econocentric components of the development of the modern world and show their influence on the formation of the geopolitical interests of states;
- to investigate the peculiarities of the geopolitical reformatting of Ukraine;
- to determine the determinants of optimization that form the geopolitical vectors of Ukrainian geostrategies.
The subject of the dissertation research is the diversity of modern societies and the relations between them, which are related to control over territories, production and movement of capital.
The subject of the study is the issue of geopolitical reformatting as socio-philosophical knowledge related to the worldview-spatial change of the social world.
Research methods. The research methodology provides for the use in the process of analysis of the theory of critical geopolitics, systemic-historical, civilizational, world-systemic, synergistic approaches to the analysis of the phenomenon of geopolitical reformation. The analysis of different approaches to the processes of geopolitical reformation is relevant in practical terms due to the need to conceptualize the phenomenon of geopolitical reformation and its structures, in particular, the modern reality is caused by the global intensification of interaction between civilizations, with various combinations of ethno-national, civil-political, religious-cultural components. Therefore, non-Western types of modernity are formed not simply as a result of copying or imitating Western models, they incorporate Western experience into their civilizational dynamics and modernization processes, which leads to the formation of a new world order.
The realization of the goal and objectives of the dissertation necessitated the involvement of such basic philosophical and cognitive principles, approaches, and methods as: methodological pluralism, principles of historicism and comparison, methods of analysis and synthesis, praxeological, dialectical, systemic, and structural-functional approaches. Thus, the principle of historicism and comparison made it possible to study the genesis of the understanding of geopolitics and geopolitical changes. The synthesis method was used in the context of socio-philosophical research, the implementation of which made it possible to generalize the results of previous approaches. The application of the praxeological method made it possible to define the concept of geopolitical reformatting, to determine the structure and models-scenarios of geopolitical changes. On the basis of the dialectical method, the unity of rational and irrational in modern geopolitics is postulated, when we pay attention to the fact that the modern hybrid world of conflicts and simulation is based on emotions of fear, humiliation, hatred and hope.
The scientific novelty of the dissertation lies in the fact that, for the first time in domestic philosophy, a socio-philosophical conceptualization of the phenomenon of geopolitical reformatting has been carried out in it
The scientific novelty of the obtained results is revealed in the following theoretical propositions, which are presented for defense:
