The development of intellectual capital in the
modernizing society
The process of globalization and modernization of the social sphere today is directly
dependent on the intellectual resources of different communities and countries.
Modernization is connected with innovation and economic competitiveness and
cultural transformation. Modernization reflects global changes in a concrete society.
Global changes are directly related to the ability of the society
effectively respond to the systemic crisis and the restructuring of the economic
and political sphere as
well as geopolitical
challenges. Following tendencies of the forming of intellectual nation are considered
today: the development of the system of innovations, solving the problems of
the country's competitiveness, development of the human capital, formation of
intellectual person in the conditions of global civilization, the development
of advanced branches of science, forming of critical thinking, strengthening
the health of nation, the development of "information criteria" for the
development and evaluation of cultural evolution and contemporary culture,
modernization of the national education system. These tendencies replied to the
most urgent needs and demands of Kazakhstan's society. Kazakhstan society
addresses to the problem of preservation of cultural roots and values
as the basis of social and spiritual life of modern society.
Search
the way to the "sustainable development for all" presupposes intelligent
investment in the socio-political sphere; improving the mechanisms for
realization the resources of regions
and human capital; forming of united front of fight against the negative
sources of political conflicts and confrontations; strengthening communication
in cross-cultural and inter-ethnic relations, including the development of
relations and interactions for
advancement of institutional,
scientific and innovative elaborations and achievements.
Major
trends of the development of contemporary society are manifested in the
divergence of interests, attitudes, strategies and
actions of various social and political forces, in the undermining
the moral principles and traditions in modern society, in the
total dehumanization of relations against the background of acute problems and
crises in the world economy and politics. Split of the intellectual
elites and divergence of social interests of various social groups, the gap
between the "high" ideas, values and reality can be
distinguished as the causes of the crisis and the barometer of socio-political
climate of contemporary society. The requirements and expectations of the
constant exchange of knowledge, innovative experience and information resources
are important conditions for modernizing development.
The innovation
process is evaluated and developed in accordance to the non-linear model of
development. «Non-linear – that is non-obvious, non-incremental – innovation
will produce long-term wealth creation» [1, p. 3].
Sharp and fundamental problems of our time are revealing in the focus of
renewed interest and requests of sovereign states: the issues of effective impact
on world public opinion, ensuring wide publicity and transparency of the social
and political processes and decisions These changes is connected with reforming
national and global system of higher education, formation of civilized dialogue
as a necessary condition for concord, harmony and construction of the contemporary
society.
Key priorities of Kazakhstan's strategy of sustainable development are
expressed in the following requirements and purposes:
•
correction of the priorities and essence of economic activity, one of which is addressed
to solving issues and problems relating to the quality of life of people as
well as health care, development of science, education and culture;
•
reassessment of the environmental factor as a compulsory condition for the
sustainable development of human civilization;
•
sustainable development of human capital;
•
reducing the growing gap between rich and poor;
•

•
developing effective approaches to the problem of the correlation of the
national culture and universal values of contemporary culture in
the implementation of the principles of cultural polycentric with equal value
of every culture of the world civilization;
•
re-comprehension the paradigm of total competition against the background of
controversial and deep integration processes;
• creation of a new world order which taking into account not only the geopolitical changes
but also the growing role of regional organizations and processes;
•

•
prevent the threats of the civilizational break-up;
•

• maintenance and development of the internal political stability [2, p. 44].
The processes of the development of national identity and spirit of the culture
of the peoples as well as importance of adequate perception of experience of
another culture should be taken into account against the background of
strategic purposes of development. The Republic of Kazakhstan demonstrates
sensitive, valuable and objective response to new large-scale, systemic and
multi-level changes and crises in the contemporary context.
The
most important aspects of the cultural modernization of Kazakhstan's society
can be considered as innovative solutions and innovative parameters of human
activity as well as the formation and coordination of basic, functional and key
competencies of the community of the members of the process of transformation
and modernization of modern society. Modernization development requires the
growth of variety of social and cultural systems and transition to sustainable
development; search for a new model of industrial-innovative development and development
of scientific sphere; the emergence of "synthetic" institutional and
political-economic approach to the interaction of social, cultural, economic
forms of sustainable development [2, p. 165]. The purposes of
the national and cultural development and its information component caused the change
of accents and orientations in the interaction
between the subjects of science, education and management.
Renovated attitudes
of the socio-political
development are expressed in the relevant regulations of innovative, integrated
and intensive activity, namely in the implementation of effective social
dialogue and social partnership; expansion of the sphere of social
communication and cultural dialogue; accessibility of information and
constructive dialogue with media for the various social systems and
institutions.
The question of broadened interpretation of the concept of
"national culture" is indicated as important for contemporary theory.
The system of renovated attitudes
and evaluations advanced important issues and challenges:
• democratic development of the
society and its institutions;
•
understanding and use of the factor of cultural traditions in the process of
active modernization of social systems;
• attention to the culture of everyday life;
• forming and use of the creative
potential of the young generation;
• extension of the field of action of
cultural diplomacy;
• forming of effective competitive environment in society and
development of competitiveness of the subjects of the national economy;
protection of rights of the intellectual property on a new level and in a new
cultural, economic and political conditions [2, p. 174].
The most important conditions of forming of intellectual
nation in Kazakhstan are defined as following: ensuring the
stability of inter-ethnic and inter-generational relationships, strengthening
the role of "cultural subjects" for the ensuring of common weal as
well as the development of creative efforts of man and society. Formation of
intellectual nation is viewed through the compulsory assessment of cultural
traditions; strengthening of public consent; harmonization of interethnic
relations in multiethnic community with maintaining the identity of ethnic
groups. Modern socio-cultural policy reflects the forms of influence
of socio-cultural conditions on the change of the nature and types of personal
development and intercultural relations and the need to build a new educational
paradigm for providing of the opportunities for individual educational
strategy. Society recognizes culture as the unity and integrity of the values,
human relations and social communication.
The
interests and strategy of the development of the Kazakhstan's society requires
to promoting intercultural interaction in society and strengthening the values
of tolerance. Society creates conditions for socio-cultural and
linguistic integration, preservation of positive traditions of intercultural
interaction, forming of intolerance to the ideas of xenophobia and migrantphobia, strengthening of the Kazakh civil community.

negative trends in the integration processes, providing innovative activity and
infrastructure development of the economy as well as ensuring the strategic
nature of partnership between the state and civil institutions, the state and
the business sector are the sensitive issues of the achieving of a new
qualitative level of social and economic integration.

cooperation; multilateral organization of socio-cultural and political
dialogue; implementation of breakthrough initiatives in the cultural policy.

various scale, development of political culture, actualization of attention to
the problems of the national mentality and formation of the intellectual
nation, advancement of the soft scenario of globalization and participation in
