Conventions' Engineering in the Mobilization Context

The author presents the prerequisites and method of forming a mechanism for constructing socio-economic relations in a system that, due to external threats, is in the process of transition to new conditions’ set. The efficiency of the method is approved by examples from science and technology. When the short-term motive comes to the fore, "mobilization" is necessary. It was found however that the corresponding regulation model cannot rely on well-known conventional structures, "worlds-conventions". From the point of view of methodology, this might be explained by the fact that "mobilization" in its pure form is not an object of either market or industrial convention. This category is more consistent with the household convention, but the potential of such a structure cannot be fully disclosed within the framework of the current social contract in Russia: there is a lack of means to legitimize unplanned losses, additional spending. In addition, it is essential to have a way of thinking corresponding to the mobilization mode in the mental structures of production process participants. According to the author's hypothesis, the "mobilization model" is structured by means of a configurator, whose functions provide for the calculation of balances in interactions between elements of various conventions. Balances are regulated according to principles of open science. And they must be preserved, despite the emergence of scientific and imperious "whirlwinds". Science, institutional studies, first of all, should become a necessary element of this regulator’s construction and "state life". Effective mobilizing readjustment of infrastructures and informal institutions, starting with ensuring semantic sovereignty, can be organized only on a fundamental science basis. Goal-setting is consistent with the ethos of pure science. On its basis, the coordination of interactions of the regulator of the sphere of science and technology with the actors of creative, producing and training sectors of this sphere is to be achieved. An extended version of the set of worlds-agreements is proposed.
