The societies undergoing rapid social change develop a high level of inequality. Their evolution cannot be fully explained by existing social theory. The inherent individualism of the Rawlsian theory of justice does little to promote justice in countries with weak or undeveloped institutions.Therefore, it is important for sociologists of the BRICS to cooperate to promote their own vision of social policy and its important priorities. Social justice is far from being an issue of internal policy, it is global and must involve global communities in the solution of the existing problems.Авторы:Черныш М.Ф., Мансуров В.А.Content (in russ)hide table of contentsshow table of contents Contents Front Matter Pages i-xlvii Understanding Inequality Jayanathan Govender and Kiran Odhav Pages 1-15 Brazil Front Matter Pages 17-17 Brazilian Sociology and the Internationalisation of Sociology in the BRICS Societies Tom Dwyer, José Vicente Tavares dos Santos Pages 19-36 The Symbolic Forms and the Conflict in the Mega-Events Michel Nicolau Netto Michel Nicolau Netto Pages 37-63 Oscillations in Gender and Race Inequalities in the Brazilian Labour Market Between 2003 and 2021 Bárbara Castro and Helena Hirata Pages 65-87 Russia Front Matter Pages 89-89 Social Justice in Changing Societies Mikhail F Chernysh and Valeriy A Mansurov Pages 91-101 Reconceptualising the Working Class in Contemporary Russia Alexandrina Vanke Pages 103-118 Education, New Technologies and Inequality in Contemporary Russia Anna Strelnikova Pages 119-134 India Front Matter Pages 135-135 The Upsurge of Subaltern Counterpublics Community Radio, New Publics and Participatory Development Actions in Rural India Dhanraj A.
