Historicism in Modern Ethnic Processes: Methodological Aspects of Research

Abstract

In the course of cooperation between different countries, high-level institutions and organizations appear, in which the exchange of experience, the development of economic, scientific and technical cooperation, as well as measures to protect the sovereignty and coordination of the most important foreign policy aspirations of states are carried out. The need for cooperation has led to the creation of a wide network of specialized bodies for joint activities of specialists, including scientists. Social scientists from different countries usually cooperate on a bilateral basis. This is not accidental, since there are purely special problems, the solution of which presupposes the joint activity of societies of several countries. Global interaction in various fields of activity is developing before the eyes of all mankind. New traditions are being formed that contribute to the strengthening of ties between countries, of course, many problems arise. Sluggishness, national narrow-mindedness and sometimes an oversight in the development of fundamental forms of cooperation, and sometimes ignorance of interests, hinder the deployment of new progressive initiatives. The formation and interaction of ethnocultural traditions based on multinationality presuppose mutual concessions on the part of all participants. Hence the problem of territorial-spatial ties, that is, the relationship between subethnic, ethnic and super-ethnic in emerging cultural traditions.
