Modernisation Transformations Of The State And Society

Luisa A. Umanskaya

Abstract

The concept of modernization theories does not imply a holistic scientific trend. It is a peculiar combination of methodologically heterogeneous concepts, models and logical methods of analysis. They aim to explain the nature of socio-political development, avoiding simplistic ideas of no-alternative and linear industrial-capitalist progress and identifying the causes of deviation of transitional societies from the supposedly model path developed in the Enlightenment era and traversed by industrial revolutions. The article discusses the comprehensive process of modernization is aimed at changing all institutional spheres of society, resulting in the expansion of human knowledge and control over the environment. Modernization is a set of fundamental processes of qualitative transformation of the social and political system, as a result of which this system increases its adaptive capacity and moves to a new stage of development. The theoretical basis of modernisation is represented by theories of modernisation, which were greatly influenced by evolutionism, functionalism, diffusionism. Modernisation theory was intended to compete with macroxism and its influence on the development of the social sciences.
