Contradictions Of The Modern Technical And Economic Paradigm In The Informational Globalization

Informational globalization is a unique phenomenon of the present time. It affects all the spheres of social life and contributes to progressive development of society. But at the same time it exposes the contradictions that are inherent in the present period of human life. In the context of studying the destructive processes and phenomena, the problem of looking into the nature of contradictions that appear in the globalized economy and globalized society arises. A theoretical and methodological approach to the analysis of the contradictions that manifest themselves under the conditions of the modern technical and economic paradigm have been developed, these contradictions being substantially predetermined by the increasing informational globalization. The following scientific methods have been applied to the study: systematic, historical, comparative, the method of logical generalization, the method of dialectics of the fundamental and the actual. The study expanded the current approaches that the modern economic science applies to the analysis of the contradictions of the contemporary technical and economic paradigm. A peculiar feature of these methods is the fact that the nature of the contradictions is revealed in the manifestation of the informational globalization. The theoretical and methodological ground of the study is based on defining the functions of the informational globalization. The most important of them in explaining the manifestations of the modern technical and economic paradigm are as follows: a) the integrational function (which provides association of the aggregate potential of the global social development: technical, technological, natural, economic, social); b) the transformational function (which causes specifically identified changes in the mode of production – technological and economic). The communicational function of the informational globalization has also been taken into consideration. The application of the research findings makes it possible to extend the theoretical framework of social sciences, explaining the nature of contradictions that arise in the system of technical, economic and socio-economic relations, taking into account the peculiarities of the modern period caused by the informational globalization.
