The role of militarization and mobilization society for the economic sustainability of cyclical societal development

Abstract

The modern transformational stage of the cyclical development of the world-system (duration approximately from 2026 to the 2050s) is formed by the synergy of the crisis-militaristic phases of global cycles, among which the leading role is played by Kondratieff cycles, long cycles of world politics, cycles of hegemony, systemic cycles of capital accumulation. The development of crisismilitaristic phases of global cycles causes a comprehensive militarization of the economy and public consciousness. The start of a new cycle of militarization of the global economy is also evidenced by the growth in global military spending. It is precisely in such conditions that the mobilization form of social existence is formed. The formation of a mobilization society means the formation of a certain ecosystem of interaction between societal classes and public institutions, in which public consciousness is subordinated to the main idea, for the sake of which some exceptional, extraordinary means and resources are necessary to achieve it.
