Imperial dimension of Russian modernisation: a multiple modernities perspective / Maslovskiy, Mikhail   Article
Maslovskiy, Mikhail Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The essay discusses the multiple modernities approach in historical sociology and its relevance for the study of Russian modernisation. From this perspective the imperial dimension of Russian modernisation has been emphasised by Johann Arnason who analyses the modernisation process in pre-revolutionary Russia and the imperial aspect of the Soviet model of modernity. It is argued in the essay that the multiple modernities approach can also be applied to post-communist transformations. The persistence of ‘imperial nationalism’ in contemporary Russia is regarded as a specific legacy of the Soviet model of modernity.

Russian modernisation—a new paradigm / Kivinen, Markku; Cox, Terry   Article
Cox, Terry Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract By the time of the collapse of the Soviet system in 1991 it had become increasingly accepted that the modernisation of society effected by Soviet communism had reached its inherent limits and, in particular, that the increased complexity of an industrialised society had exhausted the capacities for change of the centrally managed ‘planned’ economy and the rule of a single party claiming superior scientific knowledge of the management of society. The flexibility of a market economy and the possibility of choice between potential rulers seemed to offer a more appropriate institutional basis for the increased complexity of contemporary society and the relations between societies to be found in an increasingly globalised world.
