Evolutionary perspectives of biopolitical analytics.

Abstract

The main goal is to study the evolutionary prospects of biopolitics as a new direction of scientific research. Biopolitics is an innovative discipline of modern political discourse that offers its vision of the nature of the «political man» and the motives for his behaviour. It is established that the scientific community has not yet developed a clear idea of the priority directions of research of this scientific discipline: some biopolitics see them in solving global environmental problems, others think about the rapid development of biotechnology and genetic engineering. It was proposed four perspective directions of biopolitics, which we would conventionally call «ecological», «conflict», «biotechnological» and «globalization». Each of them opens new horizons for biopolitical analytics and political science in general. So, advocates of the ecological direction insist on the integration of the international community around the issue of conservation of biodiversity. Research in the field of biopolitics will contribute to raising public awareness of the ecosystem crisis and demographic explosion. A person, as part of the overall «biosystem», has to be more respectful of the natural world. Biopolitics present its own view on the ethnic conflicts and the strategy for the prevention of international conflicts. Researchers of ethno-national conflicts talk about their biological foundation at the expense of the innate «mechanism» of recognizing «their» and «strangers», insist on the need to «raise» the international community of ethnic tolerance. Biopolitics who are interested in biotechnology, say that they, in the absence of control by the government, become a potential «threat» for humanity. The fourth direction is intended to analyze the impact of globalization on the state of health of a person, her place in this process.
