Kirdina-Chandler S.G. The Formation of a New World Order: Challenges for Russian Social Science. Sotsiologicheskie issledovaniya [Sociological Studies]. 2024. No 6. P. 29-41
Formation of a new world order is one of the most important global changes of the 21st century. Its influence affects all spheres of social life, including the development of sociology in the world and in Russia. The article examines this influence on the activities of the Russian journal “Sotsiologicheskie Issledovaniia” [Sociological Studies], which celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 2024. The need to clarify the mission of the journal operating in the new conditions is discussed. For this purpose, the features of the new world order, in which Russia becomes part of a new emerging global pole of power, are analysed. Special attention is paid to the impact of the formation of a new world order on international communications and the resultant changes taking place, including in the field of social science. The challenges that the new world order poses to sociologists of all countries are identified, and the potential capabilities of Russian sociologists to respond to these challenges are considered. The need for new emphases in the mission of the journal ““Sotsiologicheskie Issledovaniia” is defined, reflecting the values of promoting global dialogue between sociologists from different countries.
