Social and Political Audit Formation of Civil Society in Russia

Abstract

The relevance of the socio-political audit of civil society in Russia is dictated by the need for a modern, qualitatively new rethinking of such social phenomena and socio-political processes in the country as a social contract, civic consciousness, and public political activity. Socio-political audit is an innovative form of sociological analysis of the conditions for the development of society in order to identify the factors of social risks and develop a systematic approach to their solution in modern conditions. Socio-political audit is becoming a significant social phenomenon in the system of development of social, state and political relations as an institution of control and management of society and the state. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the relevance and urgency of the socio-technological approach to the study of social phenomena. The demand for such an approach is due to the sociopolitical and economic crisis in the country, which can only be overcome by modern innovative methods, including social technologies, which are able not only to understand the reasons for the regression of society, but also to propose programmatic and strategic ways to improve it, develop spiritual and creative potential of the state, society, social organizations and each person. Such a social technology is a socio-political audit - a tool for regulating socio-political relations through a dialogue of all parties interested in achieving social equilibrium. The main task of implementing socio-political audit as a social technology comes down to diagnosing social, political, social, economic problems and phenomena, assessing their state, formulating specific recommendations, developing systemic ways to solve and prevent problems and threats caused by current processes of globalization in specific historical stages of development of society. The theoretical value of this sociological study lies in the assessment of the state of civil society in Russia and the factors of its further development. The proposed socio-technological approach to studying the issues of the formation of civil society is aimed at transforming the entire sociopolitical space of the country
