Abstract
The purpose of the study is the development of a methodological construct of interdisciplinary scientific research aimed at assessing the systemic advantages and disadvantages of existing social development trajectories of multi-ethnic regions of the South of Russia, as well as the formation of optimal models of social consolidation of the development of these regions in the future.
Methodological basis of the research is subject-activity research method that allows to verify its theoretical construct based on the analysis of social practices of various population groups within the framework of regional society. When constructing a structural-activity model for studying the role, place, ways and mechanisms of social consolidation in the conditions of multiethnic regions, constructivism is used, which involves both the study of objective connections between different positions, interests of people involved in social structures, and taking into account certain ideas of individuals obtained in the process of socialization and subsequent social practices.
Research results. It is proposed to consider the role and place of regional communities in society, taking into account both the system of subject-practical relations and the system of value-normative relations characteristic of this society.
It is proved that it is methodologically justified to take into account the dynamics of the movement of society from socio-class uniformity to the diversity of the social space that is not yet structured and rather amorphous. However, only in this way it is possible to predict with a sufficient degree of probability the directions of society’s consolidation through the optimization of its process in the regions, given that their consolidation potential is multidimensional in a number of primary characteristics: demographic, settlement, forms of employment, belonging to various ethnic groups and confessions.
Prospects for the study. The use of situational factor and configuration modeling of social consolidation trajectories in the conditions of multiethnic regions of the South of Russia will make it possible to develop effective social projects and technologies both in the South of Russia as a whole and at the level of its individual regions, as a necessary condition for society’s consolidation and ensuring its security.
