Полемика о модернизации: общая дорога или особые пути?
The book reveals various views on modernization, interpretation of this concept in modern China
and the latest discussions of Western researchers on this issue. An attempt was made to combine the civilizational approach to the history of mankind with an original interpretation of the theory of modernzation. According to the author of the book, the world is divided into two civilizations - law-based and coercion-based, and in accordance with this division modernization also splits into two types: Westernization as a transition from the second to the first and adaptation as an adaptation of a power civilization to cotemporality. Institutional competition between two civil
zations reflects their incompatibility. Humanity has no common prehorns to a single social order, but there are different ways depending from the choice of the modernization model. The book is addressed to all researchers in the field of social sciences. Getting to know it will give you enough reason for thought to anyone interested in the history and global problems of cotemporality.
