MODERN SOCIAL SYSTEMS IN CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT CRISIS: TRANSFORMATIONS, DYSFUNCTIONS, AND THE ROLE OF SOCIALLY DOMINANT LEADERSPages 117-130 Abstract
This scientific publication examines the dynamics of contemporary social systems amid interconnected global crises. The analysis posits that traditional scientific and systemic approaches are insufficient for managing the accelerated social processes of the 21st century. In conditions of high uncertainty and interdependence, social systems face permanent instability and functional exhaustion. The study analyzes health, economic, geopolitical, technological, climatic, and value-based crises as manifestations of systemic dysfunctions.
Special focus is placed on social transformations, the emergence of new global centers of influence, and the disproportionate role of socially dominant leaders. It emphasizes that leadership decisions in times of crisis are often influenced by irrational factors, risking deeper social imbalances. Using post-socialist Bulgaria as an empirical example, the text highlights structural changes marked by inequality and institutional limitations. The conclusions advocate for new interdisciplinary tools to ensure timely forecasting and management of social transformations.
Keywords: Economic instability, Financial centers, Market transformation, Structural inequalities, Systemic risk.
