Living against the grain of society
Ecological challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss lead to a need for change, but the radical changes that are required seem not to come about. One hot issue debated is who has the power and responsibility to change. This discussion has many different dimensions (e.g., between countries, or technological fixes vs radical system change) but here I base my study on the discussion of agency or structure. To put it simply, do we need to focus on structural political changes or rather on the level of the individuals and their consumerist lifestyles. This thesis aims to contribute to this debate by providing a better understanding of the (im)possibilities of individual lifestyle changes in a society that is largely organized to accommodate consumerist lifestyles. It does so by focusing on the example of Voluntary Simplicity, a lifestyle movement that advocates for a post-consumerist lifestyle. With the help of practice theory, which is especially fit to analyze everyday practices and change, and a qualitative interview study with seven voluntary simplifiers living in Sweden, I answer the following research questions: What are the motivations and drivers for having a voluntary simplicity lifestyle?, what are the challenges and obstacles that voluntary simplifiers need to overcome?, and does life, in consequence, get more complicated by striving for a "simpler" life because it is against the grain of society? The analysis demonstrates a motivation among the simplifiers to live sustainably and to reduce material possessions, working hours and stress. Impediments include the struggle of wanting to be part of a community but at the same time being different from the mainstream society, inflexible work structures and time and labor-intensive activities such as self-sufficiency. The question if life got simpler could not satisfactorily be answered and is connected to considerations on what life is about. In the discussion, I argue to consider social norms and values because they seem to exacerbate change both for politics and individuals. Future avenues for study could be based on participatory observation, autoethnography or doing research in non-capitalist-consumerist societies. This study is relevant because it opened up and contributed to the debate about change by acknowledging the entanglement of social structures and individuals.

War and Society ; Війна і суспільство
The round-table sitting dedicated to the Russian-Ukrainian war took place on October 24, 2014. The question was, in particular, of its cultural and historical factors and peculiarities of the conflict of consciousnesses in the course of Ukraine-Russia opposition. The participants have analyzed the phenomenon of the hybrid war as anomia, outlined a rational system of ensuring national security. There have been represented the original interpretation of the war discourse and euphemisation of political leaders' language as the reduction of truth. The myth of the "Russian world" was considered as the basis of mobilization strategies of the aggressor and cognitive structure of its strategic culture. The correlation between philosophic traditions and the method of fighting the war have been outlined. ; Круглий стіл «Філософської думки»

THE MODERN UKRAINIAN SOCIETY: CHALLENGES AND ANSWERS
The article analyzes the factors that negatively influence the modernization of Ukrainian society and, in particular, the reformation of its military sphere. Therefore, it is concluded that we need to clarify the content of a number of concepts concerning the status of Ukrainian society, the Russian-Ukrainian war, taking into account the experience of the new independent states. This will enable to form adequate and, if necessary, asymmetric answers to the internal and external challenges facing Ukraine at the present stage. The author proposes that the incentive for the formation of the responses are integrated concept of modernization of all spheres of Ukrainian society. The core of the reform should be the military sphere. It is precisely military reform that will allow a revival of a powerful defense-industrial complex. This, in turn, will contribute to the industrialization of our state. At the same time, as a result of military reform, a "new model of the army" should appear, new approaches to the Russian-Ukrainian war as a whole should emerge.

Forest owners' associations in a changing society
In recent decades structural changes in the forestry sector have changed forest owners' characteristics and thus the member base of forest owners' associations. More general social trends have also changed how individuals and organizations interact with each other. A major challenge for the forest owners' associations is thus to adapt their service offers and organizational structures to fit the needs of current and future members. The objective of the project this thesis is based upon was to examine processes that are shaping the future membership of forest owners' associations in Sweden and identify elements that are likely to affect their relationships with members and (hence) their cooperative nature. To meet this objective, the issue was addressed from different angles and organizational levels in studies reported in four appended papers. Paper I showed that renewal of district councils is a slow process in which election committees play a central role. However, they were found to act passively and select candidates from narrow pools, which restrict the councils' representativeness and raises risks of strategic misalignment with members' interests as it severely limits inputs from several user groups in decision-making processes. Paper II showed that in order to meet the changing member needs the organizations are currently focusing their strategic efforts on developing new services to support members' management activities and ownership issues, improve education offers, and become strong political actors. Paper III showed that members who had traded timber with the association displayed significantly higher affective commitment, but not calculative commitment, than both non-members and members who had traded with other organizations. Thus, the findings suggest that the associations should focus on communicating their core values and strengthening members' identification with the organization, as this will have stronger effects on their loyalty than fostering calculative relationships. Paper IV provides support for the findings in Paper II, showing that young adults generally have limited familiarity with forestry activities. Further they rarely discussed forest issues with their parents. Thus they did not feel comfortable in discussing their own future as potential forest owners since they lacked understanding of the personal implications for them in practice. A key highlighted finding is that the main challenges for the organizations are connected to their democratic governance processes.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LEGAL CATEGORIES «INFORMATION SOCIETY» AND «SMART-SOCIETY» ; СПІВВІДНОШЕННЯ ПРАВОВИХ КАТЕГОРІЙ «ІНФОРМАЦІЙНЕ СУСПІЛЬСТВО» ТА «SMART-СУСПІЛЬСТВО»
The article reveals the content of the category of Smart-society and correlates the legal categories of "Smart-society" and "information society". It was found that the information society is inextricably linked with the development and dissemination of the role of information and communication technologies, the availability of an appropriate information sector of technology, a high level of information culture in all spheres of public life, accessibility and transparency. It is noted that the category "Smart" means smart, one that promotes the development of smart technologies and the formation of a smart society, the transition of "traditional" information society to a knowledge society or Smart-society, whose guiding paradigm is the desire to improve all spheres of human life. to create a new quality of life. Smart-society is a new model of information society, which permeates all spheres of public life, namely – economic, political, social, spiritual, cultural, educational spheres of life. The correlation between the legal categories "information society" and "smart society" allowed us to say that they have both common and different characteristics. The common features include the following: 1) these categories are quite similar, but not identical; 2) they appeared in one period (in the early 1960s); 3) both are inextricably linked to the information sector; 4) apply to all spheres of public life; 5) determined by the development of information and communication technologies. It is noted that there are some differences between them, the main of which is the inseparability of the Smart-society with digital technologies, while the information society is not so dependent on Smart-technologies. It is concluded that the Smart-society is a new, more modern form of information society, which is characterized by its own features and specific characteristics. ; У статті розкрито зміст категорії Smart-суспільства та здійснено співвідношення правових категорії «Smart-суспільство» та «інформаційне суспільство». ...

Genesis of the information society ; ГЕНЕЗИС ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА
Current century is the century of the global information society. It is characterized by events caused by the information and telecommunication revolution, introduction of information technology to all areas of public life, development of the global information economy, introduction of e-government to public and private sectors, formation of global network society.But before developing into the global, the information society has progressed from the origins of theories on its formation to development and adjustment of information and communication technologies to the public life area of the world leading countries. The article deals with the information society development in the globalized world. In particular, the first theories that characterized the birth of the information society and its formation in modern conditions have been considered.It is indicated that in conditions of globalization, information and knowledge will become the most important means by which communications are taking place in modern society. While, due to spreading glo- balization processes, the global information society is emerging, characterized by integrating information systems into a single world economy.Issues of information society development for several years have been on the agenda of such leading world countries as the United States, Japan and the countries of the European Union. Since the information society in modern conditions is responsible for raising the living standards of of the popula- tion, more and more countries are beginning to engage into the building of this type of society. The same applies to Ukraine. ; У статті дається аналіз трансформації інформаційного суспільства, яку воно пройшло від початку його зародження до утворення глобального інформаційного середовища. Розглянуто перші теорії, які визначили суть інформаційного суспільства та його відмінність від попереднього суспільного устрою. Зокрема, зазначено, що інформація та знання в умовах глобалізації перетворюються на найважливіші засоби, за допомогою яких здійснюється комунікація в сучасному суспільстві. Процеси глобалізації стали причиною зародження глобального інформаційного середовища, яке характеризується інтеграцією інформаційних систем у єдину світову економіку.

The Phenomenon of Ideas in Management Livelihoods of Society
Actuality. Cosmogeological phenomena and the rapid development of scientific and technical progress cause the next bifurcation of the world civilization and require a transition to a qualitatively different state of society. This is manifested in the increase of chaos and entropy and by all accounts is a systematic, multidimensional, planetary crisis of industrialism, which poses a threat to human existence. The output of forcing state and the transition to order is possible under condition of selection of the relevant attractors, which are based on socially significant ideas. Purpose and methods.

Primitive society and law ; Первісне суспільство і право
The article is devoted to the study of the process of the emergence of rights in the primitive society of the period of savagery and barbarism. The time frame expands from the beginning of the birth of life (about 4.1 – 3.7 billion years ago) to the invention of methods of cultivation of land and the primary division of labor and the invention of ancient civilization of Sumerians of writing (respectively 6,500 years - 3,100 years BC). The social and anthropological reasons for the emergence of law (needs of common habitation, normative consciousness), the world-view basis, the nature of the binding character of the original rules, their interrelation with morality, are substantiated. The original rules of conduct in the form of prohibitions (taboos), custom, rite, worship and ritual were alloy, a mixture of divine and natural, magical and psychological. These mono norms formed the core of primitive law as the form of proper, necessary behavior, the most significant factor of the force of which was the joint residence and the mutual benefit of acting concertedly.In the absence of political power in the primitive society, they also supported the authority of tribal leaders, elders, healers, healers and sorcerers. With the emergence of religion and systems of morality, these norms receive a new religious and value justification and differentiate from those norms of morality that do not require more stringent, compared with them, sanctions. Thus, the social interaction in the process of living together and the elaboration of the rules of this residence, the improvement of the methods of resolving conflicts and disputes provided the ground on which the archaic right of the primitive society has grown, which in the form reached us in the relevant earliest historical sources, according to the constant scientific tradition, is called customary law.Article received 20.11.2018 ; Статтю присвячено дослідженню процесу виникнення права у первісному суспільстві періоду дикості і варварства у часових рамках історії людства з початку зародження життя (близько 4,1 – 3,7 млрд рр. тому) до винайдення методів обробітку землі та первинного поділу праці та винайдення давньою цивілізацією шумерів письма (відповідно 6500–3100 рр. до н. е.).
