The political determinism of class process: formulation of the problem
This article examines the basic social scientific approaches to the definition and development of the political class, viewed from the standpoint of the impact of the latter on the nature of social processes. The author points out not only the classic (Henri de Saint-Simon, Max Weber, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Karl Marx), but also contemporary research positions in relation to the constructing of class stratification and its critical terms and factors. Special attention is paid to the transformation of class in contemporary political process and how mechanisms of social participation and political consolidation can transform themselves, especially in large-scale social transition to facilities and institutions of post-industrial society, the expansion of class conflict zone due to the cultural sector, as well as serious updating policy determinism of class structures.
