Особливості становлення глобального громадянського суспільства

Abstract

Висвітлено сутність, особливості становлення та головні ознаки глобального громадянського суспільства в умовах сучасних міжнародно-політичних трансформацій. Виділено комплекс процесів глобалізації, під впливом яких формується глобальне громадянське суспільство, визначено його структурні елементи. Проаналізовано вплив формальних (державних) інститутів на функціонування глобального громадянського суспільства. In this work it was determined that the formation of the global civil society occurs under an impact of globalization processes such as: influence of supranational actors on the policy of different countries; formation of common interdependent financial market; decentralization of power authorities in the international system structure; expansion of the transnational corporations activity; formation of transnational relations among societies; states’ integrations; international migration of population. It was found out that global society is a relatively independent interaction sphere of the non-governmental subjects of international interaction (i. e. individuals, organizations, social movements etc.) that are uniting in order to defend their interests at the global level. The peculiarities of establishment of the global civil society include predominance of man’s interests as an individual above the interests of a man as a citizen in the international life, as well as functioning beyond the scope of the national state in the international relations sphere. The author pointed out that non-governmental organizations of national civil societies that transform themselves into international nongovernmental organizations, public movements, and summits are main structural elements of the global society. It was emphasized that compounding of the global society’s structure results in blurring of the institutional borders of the governmental and non-governmental sphere; the loss of value of the national identities occurs; the main mechanism of the global civil society formation is the global cooperation of its subjects with the governments of national and supranational structures.
