Latest Sociological Theories in Modern Ukrainian Society

The relevance of the problem of studying the latest sociological theories is due to the fact that the concepts developed by domestic scientists have not always been used by ruling circles as a scientific basis for social management, and the future transition from war to peace will increase the demand for these concepts, since overcoming the social trauma caused by the war will require the implementation of solutions, strategies and projects that are based on a deep knowledge of the life of Ukrainian society. The subject of the study is the analysis of the concepts created by domestic scientists that reflect social changes in the course of the transformation of modern Ukrainian society. The purpose of the study is to review and systematize the latest sociological theories in the context of social reproduction and social transformation in modern Ukrainian society. The methodology for studying the latest sociological concepts is based on determining their focus on solving social problems of Ukrainian society, studying those social processes that determine the content and trends of major social changes, and in general, the path of movement of Ukrainian society. The results of the scientific research are reflected in the systematization of sociological concepts created by domestic scientists in the following areas: 1) creation of a system for monitoring social changes, which includes: the concept of monitoring social changes in Ukrainian society (N.Panina and E.Golovakha), the concept of a dual institutional system (N.Panina and E.Golovakha), the concept of agents of social change in a society of unstable institutionality (a group of sociologists, headed by O.Zlobina); 2) research into the sociocultural specificity of Ukrainian society: the concept of social identification of Ukrainian society (V.Tarasenko, O.Ivanenko), the concept of a sociological approach to the spatial organization of society (I.Kononov), the concept of subcultural variability of Ukrainian society (project leaders N.Kostenko and A.Ruchka); 3) search for ways to overcome the systemic crisis of Ukraine: the concept of the systemic crisis of Ukrainian society (M.Shulga), the concept of socially adequate management (V.Burega), the concept of “criminal revolution” and the concept of the formation of “criminal society” in Ukraine (I.Rushchenko); 4) social forecasting in the practice of management activity: the concept of social forecasting (M.Lepsky); 5) study of social reproduction processes: the concept of the social matrix (M. Shulga); 6) study of social modernization processes: the concept of a research program of the state that promotes development (P.Kutuyev); the concept of modernization of Ukrainian society (G.Chepurko – head, Yu.Sapielkin, O.Honcharuk, Yu.Pryvalov, V.Pylypenko); 7) study of peacemaking processes: the concept of peacemaking in the conditions of hybrid war in Ukraine (M.Lepsky), the concept of mediation and peacemaking (M.Lepsky). The practical value of the results lies in the fact that a model of systematization of sociological concepts in the areas of research of Ukrainian society has been developed, which can be used as a basis for the formation of a general theory of the development of modern Ukrainian society.
