Intersocietal interactions in the history of the Buryat people

The article deals with the problem of the methodology for studying the interaction of societies at different stages of social development. Intersocial interactions are interactions of individual societies in their integrity. In this understanding, inter-societal interactions are so-called “horizontal” interactions, relations between social organisms that coexist in space, or synchronous relations. The methodology of social synthesis is congruent with all three main fields of modern social science: formational (interformational synthesis), civilizational (intercivilizational synthesis) approaches, and world-system analysis (relations “core” - “periphery” with reference to exogenous synthesis). The proposed approach to the synthesis of social forms is revealed on the example of the history of the Buryat people. Buryat society is a result of the historical synthesis of various social relations. In the article, we consider the phenomena of synthesis through the example of the socio-economic sphere of Buryat society as a typical Siberian ethnic socium.
