Abstract
In this article the author argues the thesis on the necessity of scientific cooperation,
interaction and holistic approach for appropriate explanation of the
contemporary crisis. It is of great importance to define conceptual frameworks
of the crisis, together with main spots in the analysis of the crisis amalgam.
The key thesis is the necessity of transformation in the structure of political-
-economic and social organisation of contemporary states/societies. It includes
transformation of completeness of interactions between structures and
actions which constitute societal community through reformistic confidence
in public policy. With the help of Parsons and Luhmann, the author indicates
the structure of contemporary imbalance which he perceives as spillovers of
the economic in all other societal subsystems. He displays the thesis of dedemocratization
of democracy. Finally, he demonstrates the structural character
and the means of functioning of the contemporary crisis on the example
of Higher education.
