V. Ivanov and Yu. V. Popkov “Spiritual and ecological civilizational perspective: the value potential of youth in the Siberian context”, published in the journal “Siberian society” no. 1 (2021), are very relevant in conditions of serious internal and external “challenges”: coronavirus, sanctions of a number of countries against Russia, “brain drain”, especially among young people, the need for radical modernization of society in the context of globalization etc. Siberia is undoubtedly one of the centers of the Eurasian civilization. Siberia is a region not only with the richest natural resources, but, no less important, human resources. The main “human capital” is youth. The author of the article rightly notes the leading role of youth in modern socio-political and economic transformations. At the same time, “human capital”, and above all the youth potential of Siberia, is being used ineffectively. Moreover, young people, not seeing opportunities for self-realization in the Siberian region, find such opportunities outside its borders (in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other countries). The “brain drain” of young people is an acute problem not only in Siberia, but throughout Russia. This article is about the topic of the spiritual and ethical component of modern civilizational processes, in which the social identity formation of young people takes a significant place. At the same time, some critical remarks were made about the article by A. V. Ivanov and Yu. V. Popkov. In particular, the expediency of referring to the experience of the past, to those values and morals that existed more than a hundred years ago, is questioned. Certain conclusions controversy of the article under discussion is noted. Although, according to the author, it is precisely in their ambiguity that its heuristic potential lies, since they encourage discussion and the formation of new approaches. The article highlights and analyzes three main paradigms of modernization. On the basis of N. Luhmann’s approach, the structure of the civilizational order as an autopoietic system is formulated. The necessity of preserving the unique socio-cultural landscapes of Siberia is substantiated.","PeriodicalId":286622,"journal":{"name":"Siberian Socium","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124236463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This modification is required due to the inapplicability of the original methodology to the analysis of human capital in the regions of Russia caused by the absence of some of the original data in Russian statistics. The article analyzes the method of calculating the Human Development Index, which is used to estimate human capital in the regions of Russia, and shows the main problems of its application. First of all, these problems are associated with the excessive dependence of the final index on GRP per capita. The main goal of this research is to compare human development of Russian regions via calculating Human Capital Index, which includes modeling based on three subindices — survival, education, and health scores. Due to the complete or partial absence of some of the data necessary to calculate the final index for Russian regions, their proxies were used. The major changes had to be made in the methodology for calculating the education subindex. The main obstacle to the use of the World Bank methodology without changes is the lack of open data that could evaluate the quality of school education in the region. The results were tested on the data of the regions of Russia for 2019. The results made it possible to compile a ranking of Russian regions by the level of human capital development. The ranking of regions with the best development of human capital was headed by St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad region and Moscow. The anti-ranking regions were Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Buryatia and Tyva. A strong dispersion between regions by the level of human capital development was shown. The main contribution to the differentiation of regions according to the constructed index is made by the education subindex. The conclusion is made about the limits and possibilities of applicability of this method in Russian conditions.","PeriodicalId":286622,"journal":{"name":"Siberian Socium","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122940924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This discussion was opened by our article on the spiritual and ecological civilizational perspective of development. The essence of the article was the theoretical justification of this model of the future, which is supplemented by the results of a special sociological study of Siberian students. The study has shown a high level of correspondence of the value potential of young people to the spiritual and ecological civilizational perspective. At the same time, it has revealed certain problems and contradictions in the socio-cultural potential of young people. The discussion has proved that its participants support the main ideas expressed in our article and suggest their further development in several directions. The author highlights the following among them: the need for a systematic understanding of global trends in world development as an important condition for understanding the inevitability of a spiritual and ecological civilizational perspective; fixing the complex nature of a civilizational phenomenon that is often “elusive”, but at the same time has an internal potential for self-preservation; awareness of the important role of the “green economy” in the global civilizational transformation, taking into account its socio-cultural and spiritual and moral foundations; the demand for creative activity of specific social actors within the framework of the civilizational turn under consideration; identification of the role of civilizational and global identities in future civilizational transformations and determination of the impact of the institution of the nation state on the formation of civilizational identity in different countries; highlighting two perspectives of a possible increase in attention to Siberia, which is promising for a civilizational breakthrough — when it becomes an object of active study and when subjects are formed here that can generate meanings of interest outside the region. The author critically evaluates some of the statements made during the discussion: he draws attention to the illegality of the identification of civilization, civilizational specifics and civilizational identity, reflects on the illegality of the “hard” conclusion that there is no alternative to the “green economy”. In conclusion, the author outlines possible prospects for the continuation of the discussion under consideration. He focuses on the activation of institutional mechanisms in the formation of the integration potential of the Eurasian socio-cultural space, on the need to increase the level of trust in the authorities on the part of the population, and on the allocation of the basic values characteristic of the peoples of this region that underlie its civilizational specification.

The author aims to show the conditions of formation of social capital in the urban community, to assess the level of accumulated social capital, and to identify some of its external effects. The object of the study is Cherepovets, a large industrial center of the Northwestern Federal District, which received the status of the territory of advanced socio-economic development (TASED) in 2017. The urban environment creates conditions for the formation of social capital. As a network of social relations formed based on interaction and trust, the social capital contributes to the development of the urban community. The analysis of its condition is important for management decisions, identifying those social strata that are willing to participate in urban life. This article relies on surveys conducted in 2017 and 2019 in Cherepovets. The study used the methodology for measuring the social capital of the urban community, developed earlier by the research team with the participation of the author. The predominance of the carriers of social capital of its closed type, as well as the presence of a certain proportion of respondents with social capital of the open type and focused on innovative forms of behavior, which greatly contributes to the new status of the city. The focus on unification will be the setting that will allow the implementation of many urban projects and strengthen the degree of civic participation of citizens. In addition, the study has showed correlations characterizing the respondents’ social capital and its locus of responsibility.

It presents the results of the domestic and foreign social studies, related to the conceptual consideration of the global and local social changes, caused by pandemics consequences. The study demonstrates how modernization processes are associated with the growing trends of deglobalization, strengthening of social inequality, weakening of the international relations, and also with the transformation of the former social structure and conventional forms of social interaction. The paper notes the contradictory nature of the influence of the post-COVID changes on the modernizing trends. On the one hand, new vectors to modernize a number of spheres of social life (systems of health care, education, government management, trade) were indicated, wide possibilities for digitalization and development of IT appeared, on the other hand – the isolationist and conformist intentions are intensified. An increased focus is put on individual and personal estimation of social modernization. The author, relying on empiric data of her own studies, analyzes the concept of “modern personality” by the American sociologist А. Inkeles, showing its efficiency under the circumstances of the quickly changing realities of the post-COVID society. The qualities of the “modern personality” (openness to changes, social responsibility) allow giving an adequate response to the new challenges and risks. It is assumed that the representatives of the generation of millennials and generation Z, who have a significant modernizing potential and have been formed under the circumstances of the specific “conditions of growing-up”, are one of the most adapted to consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic social groups in Russia and foreign countries.","PeriodicalId":286622,"journal":{"name":"Siberian Socium","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115572265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its specific goal is to study a wide range of citizens’ ideas about the role of non-profit organizations in solving the problems of the local community. The research method is a questionnaire survey. The citizens of Vladimir are well informed about NPOs and evaluate their activities very high. In the process of the study, the demand for the population of various fields of NGO activity was assessed. The results show that there is a serious contradiction between the demand for NPO areas of activity in the representations of the population, on the one hand, and the real needs of deprived groups of the population. In particular, such a socially vulnerable group of the population as persons without a fixed place of residence is considered as worthy of NPOs’ attention only by 16.6% of respondents. Almost as rarely mentioned are unemployed. An even smaller place among the priority target groups belongs to military personnel and members of their families, entrepreneurs, business representatives, homeowners, women, migrants, and representatives of national minorities, as well prisoners. The majority considers NPOs to be the operators of governmental social policy financed by state-corporations and state budget. Only the minority thinks that NPOs must protect private, economic, and political rights. Respondents are very pessimistic towards willingness of their compatriots to participate in solving the problems of local community. The author concludes that, according to the ideas of the city residents surveyed, a number of significant deprived groups of the population find themselves outside the field of activity of NPOs, which, in principle, makes it difficult to reduce the state of social exclusion of these groups. Recommendations are provided on the need for active outreach among the population about the goals and opportunities of NPOs, which should be addressed by similar organizations themselves.","PeriodicalId":286622,"journal":{"name":"Siberian Socium","volume":"373 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115969046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The South Siberian republics of Tyva and Khakassia, which still show low indicators of economic growth and the human development index, rarely fell into the focus of research interest in terms of analyzing the characteristics and dynamics of the functioning of social capital. The article examines the general conceptual approaches and particular methodological developments of domestic and foreign authors to the analysis of social capital. The main goal of the study, which is to analyze the features of the functioning of the components of the regional social capital of the South Siberian republics, is achieved by combining private indicators (index of trust capital, norms and values, social networks). As an empirical basis for the study, we used the results of opinion polls in 2013, 2016 and 2019 in the Republics of Tyva and Khakassia according to a standardized program (sample population: Khakassia — 520 people, Tuva — 290 people). The results of the study allow us to draw a well-grounded conclusion that the strongest component of the region’s social capital is the capital of values and norms, which is a consequence of the formation of a stable norm of tolerance and universal morality system, a stable complementarity of interethnic and cultural relations. The processes of actualization of alternative national identities, the preservation of tension in interethnic relations remain the risk space with low indices of the development of open social capital; decrease in trust and satisfaction with the activities of the authorities and preservation of a predominantly conformist model of social and political behavior of the region inhabitants. The priority of the federal and regional authorities, as well as civil society institutions and local self-government bodies, should be to increase the level of trust in them by the residents of the region.","PeriodicalId":286622,"journal":{"name":"Siberian Socium","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126243469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
