Abstract

The article clarifies the existing approaches of comparative analysis and assessment of the level of development of different societies taking into account their civilizational characteristics. This specification allows solving the fundamental contradiction of theories of development of modern society and modernization which is due to the uncertainty over the common and different for various forms of modernity. Based on a critical review of three approaches (institutional & universalistic, local & civilizational, formal & comparative) the key dimensions of development of societies in the global world system are identified: economic performance and financial security, efficiency of institutions, values and motivation, human capital and cognitive mobilization, quality of life by objective and subjective criteria, health and life expectancy, social inclusion, cohesion and empowerment. The Capability Approach and related social quality model are used to improve the existing tools for adequate comparison of societies with different civilizations origin and programs of modernization.
