Conceptual approaches to system analysis and solving modern economic contradictions and threats of the Russian civilization

Abstract

This article is a methodology of analyzing social and economic problems and ways to solve them within the civilization and system approach. The urgency to form and implement such methodology is stipulated by the fact that today along with own problems caused by the consequences related to the USSR breakup (Union of Soviet Socialistic Republics), integrating in the open economy, imperfection of own economic and financial models, Russia suffers unprecedented pressure, first of all, from G7 countries. Meanwhile, in spite of active searches for solutions of social and economic problems and certain success in their implementation, there are still many questions, in spite of acute need and attempts to integrate socio-philosophical approaches with economy, reform current financial and economic models and mechanisms, liberal theories of economy still prevail. Due to the above circumstances, there is a need to figure out what the modern Russia as a civilization that has undergone a number of financial transformations is (the essence, peculiarities, structure, etc.). Within the civilization approach that takes into account regional diversity, it is reasonable to analyze national problems, define their relations, hierarchy, sequence of solutions, and develop scenarios and forecasts. The scientific novelty of the research is related to developing the methodology to analyze social and economic contradictions and threats of the Russian Federation and to solve them in the context of the modern geo-politics on the basis of the civilization and system approaches
