METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN RESEARCHES OF ECOLOGICAL-ECONOMIC PROCESSES
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The concept of economy as a socio-technical system falls into the bounds of a narrow social-economic (sociologic) approach in the world economy management. Within the bounds of the given approach the economic sphere of activity is considered as an all-sufficient system establishing different social-economic ties with elements forming it – industrial and servicing complexes, transport systems, urbanized settlements and interacting with its surroundings – natural environment (biosphere). An economic method of pro-duction as a product of socium develops in terms of social-economic regularities supported by market rela-tions and scientific-technical solutions, and nature – on the basis of natural biological regularities which do not suppose a mutual interlacing of units in these processes. From the field of researchers’ vision escape deep interconnected transformations in society condi-tioned with the activity of market-directed socium, its economy and nature on the basis of the use of the latest productive forces, the expansion of techno-sphere and artificial world as a whole. Such a narrow approach in the comprehension of modern micro-, macro- and global economy limits the potentialities of effective management of current and prospective stable ecological-economic development as the consumption by a society the products of biosphere and its transformation in consequence of management is ignored. The process of extended production integrating in itself an exchange, distribution, production and consumption of material benefits does not include in the field of its consideration the transformation changes in natural-biological systems and transition to an anthropogenic one in many respects artificial environment of life support and life reproduction. Social systems recreate a technical-technological infrastructure of economy and in a wider sense – artificial environment, a technosphere. Its accelerating development promotes innovation development of enterprises and results in inevitable transformations in society, man, and nature, and in the dissemination of interrelated social, technosphere and natural transformation processes. Therefore it is necessary to expand a narrow content of a system approach of its wide multidisciplinary interpretation and to include interactive anthropogenic socio-natural processes in the field of the consideration of socio-technical and socio-economic systems. It will allow carrying out a thorough account and forecasting the consequences of the activities of managing subjects and passing to the prospect of stable socio-natural development.
