ВЗГЛЯД НА ПРОБЛЕМЫ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИИ В РОССИИ С ТОЧКИ ЗРЕНИЯ ТЕОРИИ КОНФЛИКТА
The author makes an attempt to examine the problems of today's transitory period in Russia through the prism of the conflict theory. L.Nikovskaya views a conflict as a certain type of social interaction initially built into the social and political processes. As the article notes, the conflict is a norm of social life relationships that accumulates social tensions, whose energy breeds social changes and shifts of different scale. The author stands for rejecting the idea of conflict suppression, since, if that be the case, its potential malignancy increases and explosion becomes inevitable. And, the other way, the idea of regulating social conflicts suggests creating conditions for controlling the conflict, defining its constructive capabilities, without denying the long-term existence of contradiction of interests and conflict groups.
