The problem of the fourth paradigm of social science

Kemerov Vyacheslav E.

In the last quarter of the twentieth century, all existing expectations in the field of integration of socio-economic trends have significantly increased and a new paradigm of social science has emerged that determines the overall picture of the social world and opens up ways for cooperation between different social systems. In this regard, the concept of globalization, which initially contains a contradiction, was brought to the fore. Against this background, in the article the author tries to answer the question of whether globalization means the acceptance by various societies, cultures and regional blocks of common norms and standards of interaction, or globalization takes place on the basis of one practical and scientific-ideological paradigm, to which all the others are adjusted.
