Annotation

The authors of the article adopt an integrative approach to understanding civic identity of an individual, a mental formation deemed vitally important at the current stage of society development. Civic identity is viewed through the prism of a number of social sciences, political science in the first place, as an individual and social development of personality in the context of globalism and the socio-cultural transformation of the Russian society. The integrative approach allows civic identity to be defined as a transdisciplinary phenomenon characterized by a combination of the cognitive, value-motivational and activity-related components. The research findings convince that the harmonious development of the above components provides for avoidance of a personal crisis of civic identity and determines the positive development of civil society as a whole. According to the authors, it is essential to develop a state-public system for the formation of civic identity, taking into account the peculiarities of its structure and integrative nature as well as the specifics of mentality and the nature of relationship between the state and its citizens. The integration of political knowledge with the results of research into the process of identification produced by other social sciences leads the authors to build a phenomenological model of civic identity formation in the era of world globalism and sociocultural change. The synthesis of ideas generated by the humanities in the phenomenological paradigm makes it possible to present civic identity as a dynamic political concept included in the social, political and cultural contexts of contemporary Russian society.
