Сhallenges and Risks of Globalization. Seven Theses
Современная глобализация – динамичный и противоречивый процесс, отмеченный ростом геополитических конфликтов и глобальных рисков. Опираясь на исследования российских и зарубежных теоретиков и опыт собственного участия в ряде международных проектов, автор пришел к следующим выводам. Глобальный риск является сегодня неотъемлемым признаком современной эпохи. Сконструированные человеком неопределенности, неожиданные последствия и возникновение «гибри…
Globalization and Hybridization: Towards a New Social Order
Современный мир находится в процессе перехода в глобальное и гибридное состояние, что является результатом Четвертой промышленной революции (далее НТР-4). В статье автор предлагает свою трактовку понятий процессов глобализации и гибридизации и их взаимодействий, в результате которых происходит формирование интегральных социобиотехнических систем (далее СБТ-систем) разной величины и взаимоотношений между ними. Возникновение СБТ-систем есть результ…

Russian Environmentalist Oleg Yanitsky: Reflections on My Own Life-Story
Problems of Urbanism of the Soviet Sociological Association. In parallel, I'd participated in many international research projects including the project 'Cities of Europe: The Public's Role in Shaping the Urban Environment' in the frames of the UNESCO's program 'Man and the Biosphere'. After then, I had worked in the European Bank of Research and Development as a 'friendly adviser'. In 1970 together with M. Castells, R. Pahl, J. Musil, and some o…
Modernizing Humanitarian Knowledge: Practice, Method and Theory
The aim of this article is to substantiate the need for modernizing humanitarian knowledge, as well as to analyze some of its issues in relation to sociological science. Based on researching natural, social, and technical science literature, as well as on personal experience in implementing a set of interdisciplinary projects in fields such as urban sociology, studying natural and man-made disasters, social ecology and social movements, the autho…
Globalization and an individual
Globalization is a process of all-embracing transformations and much more tight integration of natural and social ecosystems of various levels. At the same time, the globalization is a risky socially-constructed process which violates evolutionally shaped sustainability of the biosphere processes. Actually, the world as a set of sociobiotechincal systems has emerged. The article is focused on the impact of the above processes on micro-level, i.e.…
The 2010 Wildfires in Russia: An Ecosociological Analysis
A study of responses to the wildfires in the European part of Russia in 2010 shows that a complex set of factors is at work, including institutional and other social causes of the ecocatastrophe, the main phases of development of the critical situation, the mobilization of resources and the deployment of forces, and the subsequent rehabilitation of the population and natural systems
From nature protection to politics: The Russian environmental movement 1960-2010
The main stages of the USSR/Russian environmental movement's evolution, and the main forms of political activities under critical conditions such as the degradation of the Soviet system, its collapse and transition from a state socialism to a wild bureaucratic capitalism, are examined. The movement is reproduced in interactions with a rapidly changing and risk-laden context. The more turbulent and hostile the movement's context, the stronger was …
The Social Capital of the Ecological Movement in Russia
The article analyzes a number of theoretical issues concerning the content and forms of generation of social capital in the Russian ecological movement. The author concludes that the network method of the functioning of this capital is the universal principle of its accumulation
Red to Green: Environmental Activism in Post-Soviet Russia
Modernization: The Burden of the Past
Embarking upon modernization, Russia will have to struggle with the debris of a degrading industrial society. The paper employs the concepts of 'decay energy' and 'humanitarian catastrophe', regarding these phenomena as inseparable from the transitional process. A detailed analysis of various types and forms of decay energy leads the author to the following conclusions: (1) minimization, elimination and/or conversion of disintegration forces and …
The Shift of Environmental Debates in Russia
This article presents the results of long-term research aimed at identifying the major trends in environmental debates conditioned by Russian reforms and by the changing geopolitical situation of the Russian nation-state. The main topics of the article are changes in the very subject of these debates, the actors involved, the political opportunity structure of the debates and the character of the languages used by their participants. Four major s…
The Value Shift of the Russian Greens
The Green movement in the USSR/Russia has existed for more than forty years. During this period, seven groups have been shaped and consolidated within the movement (the conservationists, the alternativists, the traditionalists, the civil initiatives, the ecopoliticians, the ecopatriots, and the ecotechnocrats). The aim of this article is to consider the value shift each group underwent during the decade 1992–2001 within the context of the broader…
Sustainability and Risk: The Case of Russia
The majority of recent concepts of sustainable development assume that all societies will sooner or later reach the state of sustainable development, the question being how. For Russia, the question is another one: how can a society survive in the course of the long-term process of its devolution. At present, Russia and several other of the so-called transition societies are maintaining their sustainability at the expense of de-modernization, and…
The Environmental Movement in a Hostile Context: The Case of Russia
The article explores the survival and maintenance of the environmental movement in a risk-laden post-totalitarian society. Russia's rapidly changing society has an anti-ecological bias, since the economic transition has been carried out in such a way as to cause both the overexploitation and waste of human and natural resources. In the course of this transition the anti-ecological context has been reproduced and reinforced on three levels: histor…
The ecological movement in post‐totalitarian Russia: Some conceptual issues
The ecological movement in Russia has existed for more than 30 years. As the driving force behind environmental change in Russian society, the ecological movement has exerted a significant influence on the course of ongoing reforms. However, recently this movement has undergone profound transformations. The goal of this article is to consider theoretical issues concerning this movement in the context of a rapidly changing and risk‐laden post‐tota…
