Socio-cultural potential national identity in ensuring Russia's societal security in the context of the “Caspian cooperation”

Annotation

The article presents the results of a socio-philosophical study of the role of the socio-cultural potential of Russia's national identity in ensuring societal security in the Caspian macroregion. The author pays special attention to the application and adaptation of the societal approach in the realities of the complex Caspian macroregion, which includes many levels of interactions, as well as “conflict nodes”. Societal methodology, aimed at the study of complex systems and interactions of social communities centered on a certain type of identity, has significant heuristic potential in solving the tasks stated by the author. The scientific and practical nature of the research is revealed in the conceptualization of the possibilities of the national identity of Russia to regulate socio-cultural processes both at the level of the entire territory of the country, and in its specific regions and, in general, in the Caspian macroregion, also represented by the national identities of Iran, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan. The author proceeds from the basic idea of the socio-cultural potential of Russia's national identity, the components of which have practical possibilities for inclusion in the real practice of intercultural and international interaction. The result of the study is the disclosure of the main directions of Caspian cooperation between Russia, Iran, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, which provide an organizational basis for realizing the socio-cultural potential of Russia's national identity in the field of societal security. The research is carried out taking into account the geopolitical and geo-economic problems of the Caspian macroregion, as well as the internal specifics of Iran, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, which have serious socio-cultural vulnerabilities to societal security, in particular, a high level of ethno-confessional tension, problems of migration and adaptation of diasporas. Russia's systematic international strategy aimed at leveling these threats can significantly increase the security level of the Caspian macroregion.
