Club Of Rome

Global problems and crises are the actual reality of our time. Their prevention, solution and reduction of their impact concerns not only the existing generation, but also the future one, due to the fact that everyone should have equal opportunities and rights to access resources. Considering the pace of development of various spheres, we see that humanity tends to deplete resources, so the idea arose to solve these problems by coordinated actions of the global community. These ideas underlie the Concept of Sustainable Development, which today is supported and implemented, especially by many states of the world. But these ideas developed even before the concept was created, in particular, within the framework of the activities of the Club of Rome. The purpose of this article is to reveal how the activities of the Club of Rome influenced the process of formation and development of the concept of sustainable development. Аor this, the methods of theoretical generalization, analysis and synthesis of information were used. The activities of the Club of Rome began thanks to Aurelio Peccei (author of «Human Qualities»), who created a non-governmental organization that became world famous for a series of reports on the pressing and global problems of humankind. In particular, the 1972 study «The Limits to Growth» by D. and D. Meadows, who described models of the world in the future and a number of recommendations on how to avoid a catastrophic development of events. The publication had great resonance and was heavily criticized, but started a world-class discussion. In particular, the Club of Rome was involved in the discussion at the UN. So, the active work of the non-governmental organization Club of Rome not only started discussions about the global crisis, but also provided a solid theoretical and empirical basis for the development of the Concept of sustainable development. Club members took an active part in the development of sustainable development at a more local level in their regions. Thus, the organization has achieved its primary goal — to attract attention to the global problems and create an action plan to resolve them.

The purpose of the paper is to substantiate antientropic tools for managing processes of balanced sustainable development of regions. It is shown that one of the most complicated and important contradictions in the system of territorial administration is the contradiction between the development and sustainability of such a complex multidimensional system as a region. And, obviously, relevant scientific task arises as regards to the development of modern approaches to the justification of instruments of dialectical “removal” of the specified contradiction. It is revealed that an optimal methodological step will be the introduction of antientropic approach in the processes of realization of balanced sustainable regional development. Methodology. The survey is based on the actual methodological complex that is characterised by integrity and, including classical postulates which provide its verification, it has innovative aspects. The mentioned approach is based on systems theory that is characterised today by worldwide-recognized universal cognitive tools and antientropic approach, which is in focus of contemporary interdisciplinary studies. Results. Modern approaches to phenomena of entropy are generalized; antientropic paradigm of management of processes of introducing modern model of balanced development at the regional level are substantiated; on the basis of antientropic paradigm, there is proposed a set of approaches to managing organizational processes in the system of local self-government, which provides for permanent dynamic multi-vector interaction of systems (organizations) of different levels and different environments, also it is used for ensuring coherent dissipative activity. Based on the concept of adaptive management, a complex of tools for managing organizational processes in the system of subjects of providing sustainable balanced regional development is elaborated. Practical implications. Proposals on the application of antientropic tools for providing sustainable balanced development of regions can be used by executive authorities and local self-government bodies in the process of formation and implementation of state regional policy, first of all, the Ministry of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Communal Services of Ukraine during the formation of the State Sustainable Development Strategy and action plan for its implementation, as well as regional administration bodies when designing regional development strategies and implementing appropriate measures, selecting programs (projects) of regional development. Key scientific achievements of this paper also can be used in the process of drafting legal acts, elaborating the Administrative Reform Concept, and implementing other state program documents. Value/originality. Tools that are proposed in this research for introducing the model of balanced sustainable regional development on the basis of antientropic paradigm include the following: maintenance of an open state of the system; use of the principle of feed-forward control; realization of the principle of diversity. The presented complex of approaches ensures continuous dynamic multi-vector interaction of systems (organizations) of different levels and different environments.

Education for sustainable development (ESD) enjoys a huge momentum worldwide in which the role of teachers for making sustainable development goals a reality has been recognized significantly. Teachers through their knowledge, attitudes and skills can bring the learning about these concepts to the curriculum and class room interaction and are in a position to influence their students. Therefore it is pertinent, that teachers are sensitised towards these issues, so that they prepare and nurture their students for making appropriate and responsible choices which contribute to a sustainable future. At this juncture it becomes crucial to understand their priorities and awareness level in context of the sustainable development. The present research paper aims to analyse the perception of forty post graduate pre-service teachers of the Chandigarh region, towards ESD through the dimensions of economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, social sustainability and cultural sustainability. For this researchers have adopted qualitative content analysis methodology for an in-depth study of the subjective responses through an open ended question. The findings suggest that most of the respondents associated the perception of ESD strongly with environmental sustainability. It is noted that the pre-service teachers lack a holistic approach towards ESD. On the basis of the findings it is recommended that there is an urgent need of integrating the concept of ESD consciously and conscientiously in India’s teacher education programmes.

The article discusses the meanings of life and value priorities of the post- Soviet society. The author argues that, at present, there are symptoms of a global ideological crisis in the world, that the West does not have its own vision of where and how to move on and has no understanding of the future. Unfortunately, most of the post-Soviet countries do not have such vision as well. In these conditions, there are mistrust, confusion, paradoxical manifestation of human consciousness. The main meanings that determine our life-world are: the desire of citizens for social justice and social security, the desire to figure out and understand the basic values of modern society, how honestly and equally the authorities act toward their fellow citizens, and to what extent they reflect their interests. The meanings of life, which are the answers to the challenges of the time, are embodied in the cultural code of each nation, state. The growth points of new values, which will become the basis for the future sustainable development of a new civilization, have yet to be discovered in the systemic transformative changes of the culture. In this process, the emergence of a new system of values that governs human life is inevitable. However, modern technology brings new troubles to humans. It has provided wide opportunities for informational violence and public consciousness manipulation. Nowadays, the scenario that is implemented in Western consumer societies claims to be the dominant scenario. Meanwhile, today there is no country in the world that is a role model, there is no ideal that others would like to borrow. Most post-Soviet states failed to advance their societies to more decent levels of economic development, to meet the challenges of the modern information age, and to provide the population with new high living standards. Therefore, in conditions of growing confrontation, we should realistically understand the world and be ready to implement changes that will ensure sustainable development of the state and society without losing our national identity.

Rural settlements occupy a significant part of the territory of Russia, where about 25% of the population lives and significant natural resource potential is concentrated, but the level of their socio-economic development is significantly inferior to urban ones. Increasing depressiveness of rural areas and spatial socio-economic differentiation is a systemic problem and an obstacle to the balanced development of the national economy, reduces its competitiveness due to insufficient use of economic potential, creates challenges to the economic and national security of the state. A powerful tool for countering such trends is the formation and implementation of the potential for the development of small agribusiness, which is mainly based on households created in the form of peasant (farmer) and personal subsidiary associations. The article ana-lyzes the potential of small agribusiness development in rural areas.
