  • Towards the strategies of modern societies : systems and social processes
    Rončević, Borut ; Makarovič, Matej
    While several sociological theories have traditionally dealt with rational action by human actors, little attention has been devoted to the possibilitiesfor rational steering of the entire subsystems ... of functionally differentiated modern societies in the context of their increasing complexity.Although rational intentional action is clearly limited at the macro-level by the complexity emphasized by Luhmann's social systems theory, strategies are required to approach the normative ideal of active society as defined by Etzioni. Understanding the strategic processes requires micromacro and agencystructure connections. A possible solution to understanding strategyas a social process in this respect is found in the adaptation of the three-level individuality, reality and totality approach of Sztompka's theory of social becoming.
