BESIEGED ALEPPO AS A MODEL OF GLOBAL CRITICAL SITUATION
In this article, devoted to the consideration of the besieged city of Aleppo as a model of a crisis situation, the authors present the results of a study based on open sources of the media. The authors proceed from the assumption that the modern hybrid war in Syria, whose nature is determined by the influence of globalization and means increasingly close interaction between different-quality structures and processes, determines a problem-oriented approach to the study of the crisis situation. On the example of Aleppo, the socio-ecological, ethno-religious and information components of the pre-crisis state and in the situation of a global-regional-local conflict are analyzed.
A critical situation is understood as the ultimate stress of biosocial systems in urban war conditions, accompanied by a decrease in their sustainability, a widespread and accelerated reduction in the living space, a general decline in the social and environmental capital of the city.
The article considers such manifestations accompanying the crisis situation as the destruction of the life support systems of the civilian population with the maximization of the damaging metabolic effect, the growth of the risk of the genus character of the garbage as the crisis develops, leading to the imbalance of the ecosystem. The structure of military wastes in the besieged city is analyzed, the process of reducing social and cultural capital as an indicator of the internal ecological crisis of Aleppo is justified. It is shown that the ethno-confessional factor serves as a tool for inciting hatred for achieving political goals, both within the country and with the participation of external forces. Collected and analyzed information about the flow of humanitarian aid to the inhabitants of the besieged city and its information component.
The results of the conducted research show that the modern hybrid war, one of the epicenters of which is the besieged Aleppo, is conducted in two mutually intersecting spaces: material and virtual, affecting all the zones of the besieged city, drawing into the conflict, in addition to the direct participants in the conflict, global and regional opposing forces , Including information environments.
