Towards sustainable development of the world: a communitarian strategy of the life order of communities

The article analyzes the concept of communitarianism as an alternative to neoliberalism against the background of working out a new strategy for sustainable development of the world. Communitarianism develops the idea of moral improvement of society in terms of the revival of traditional values, the idea of high civic consciousness of state leaders and genuine democratic accountability of public servants. The leading approach to the study of this problem is the method of philosophical reflection, which allows us to identify the foundations and prospects of various strategies for managing people's communities. In our opinion, а most realistic and legitimate, strategic and algorithmic theory of world development is a concept of sustainable development promoted by the UN; at the same time there is an immaturity of social technologies for such development. The article is of considerable practical importance for developing the ways of Russian society’s transition to sustainable development.
