Mixed socio-cultural region
Socio-culturally oriented ecological crises may take place in a mixed regions, but they are never aimed at expanding their own socio-cultural space and assimilating alien territories, and are results of periodic changes in the SCS-s' power arrangements in the region. The reason for such ecological crisis may be, for instance, next in turn replacement of a dominant in the region
2. SOCIO-CULTURAL TIME
2.1. Stable existence during historically considerable intervals of time
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
Stable existence during historically significant intervals of time is a characteristic of SCS-s. Their life terms are amounted to 2500 years and more
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
Stable existence during historically significant intervals of time is also a characteristic of SCD-s. Their life terms are amounted to 2500 years and more, too
Socio-cultural buffer zone
Usually formed as a result of neighbouring SCS-s interaction and competition. As a rule, duration of a buffer zone existence is lesser than that of any neighbouring SCS-s. Life term of the buffer zone as a specific socio-cultural formation may amount to 1000 years and more
Mixed socio-cultural region
Heavily depends on specific (historical) conditions of the region colonisation. As a developed formations may exist for a very long while without any changes. Life term of a completely formed mixed socio-cultural region may amount to 2000 years and more
2.2. Complete cycle of the own socio-cultural space formation which includes series of successive periods determined by the inner logic of the space evolution
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
Possesses a complete cycle of the space socio-cultural assimilation. Researches reveal seven principal periods of socio-cultural evolution, and every period may consist of a few particular phases - subperiods and stages. This is the unique quality and indication of SCS
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
Has no such cycle. As distinguished from SCS, SCD does not work regularly at transforming its socio-cultural space. Its homeland is static during historically considerable intervals. As a result of a favourable outside situation, SCD's controlled space may change drastically, but always for a very brief time and without any socio-cultural assimilation / transformation of the territory that falls under such temporary control
Socio-cultural buffer zone
Has no complete cycle. Everything depends on the outside situation that determines the buffer zone's behaviour. Buffer zone itself does not work regularly at expanding and transforming its socio-cultural space. As a result of a favourable outside situation, space controlled by particular buffer zone may change drastically, but always for a (historically) brief time and without any socio-cultural assimilation / transformation of the territory that falls under such temporary control
Mixed socio-cultural region
Has no complete cycle. Everything depends on the outside factors and situation that determine specific behaviour of the mixed socio-cultural region. It's unable to work regularly at expanding and transforming its socio-cultural space at all
3. CONTACTS WITH OUTER WORLD
3.1. Correlation of inner logic and outer factors. Ability to resist socio-cultural pressure from the outside
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
Inner logic always prevails over outer factors that are only used in case of strict correspondence with the SCS's evolution internal order. Even successful external spatial expansions are always used for the own inner purposes. This is the unique quality and indication of SCS
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
Does have some inner regularities which may sometimes prevail over external factors, but in many cases namely outer factors prove to play decisive role in determining ways of the SCD's evolution. Pressure from the outside does not usually lead to annihilation of the SCD's socio-cultural specifics, but its resistance to the outside influences isn't sufficient
Socio-cultural buffer zone
Internal logic does not play a significant role. Outer factors obviously dominate. Pressure from the neighbouring SCS-s' side takes place nearly permanently and determines ways of the buffer zone evolution. Resistance to the outside influences is extremely low
Mixed socio-cultural region
Internal logic does not play a significant role. Outer factors obviously prevail. Correlation of the various SCS-s' positions in the mixed socio-cultural region determines ways of its evolution. Resistance to the outside influences is extremely low
3.2. Ability to create socio-cultural enclaves to transform and assimilate alien territories
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
Possesses the ability to create enclaves within alien regions to transform and assimilate them socio-culturally. This is the unique quality and indication of SCS
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
Has no such ability. May establish temporary enclaves only as a way of own diffusion, but never - for socio-cultural transformation and assimilation of alien territories
Socio-cultural buffer zone
Has no such ability. May establish temporary enclaves only as a way of own diffusion, but never - for socio-cultural transformation and assimilation of alien territories. Territories of the socio-cultural buffer zones themselves are often being assimilated into other socio-cultural formations
Mixed socio-cultural region
Has no such ability. Population of the mixed regions may create temporary enclaves only as a way of own diffusion, but never - for socio-cultural transformation and assimilation of alien territories, often being themselves assimilated into other socio-cultural formations
3.3. Ability to create socio-cultural enclave-communities
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
Able to create stable enclave-communities within alien socio-cultural formations
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
Able to create stable enclave-communities within alien socio-cultural formations
Socio-cultural buffer zone
Able to create temporary enclave-communities within alien socio-cultural formations during periods of excessive emigration, but with time these enclave-communities always become themselves assimilated into their foster socio-cultural formations
Mixed socio-cultural region
Able to create temporary enclave-communities within alien socio-cultural formations during periods of excessive emigration, but with time these enclave-communities always become themselves assimilated into their foster socio-cultural formations
3.4. Ability to establish colonies, military-political and economic vassals outside own homeland
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
If necessary, may generate such vassals and colonies alike, usually established to solve certain internal problems produced in the process of own socio-cultural evolution and other territories' transformation
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
In case of necessity and as a result of a certain, advantageous external situation, SCD-s with stable homelands may generate colonies and vassals, but only for a very brief time. However, this never leads to socio-cultural transformation of neither stable SCD-s themselves nor peoples and territories temporarily subordinate to them. Sporadic SCD-s never establish neither vassals nor colonies
Socio-cultural buffer zone
May generate colonies and vassals of a second grade, with this permanently being itself a vassal of a certain neighbouring SCS. Space temporarily controlled by the buffer zone states never exceeds the limits of internal and external buffer zones themselves. Changes of the controlled areas are absolutely unstable and always external matters for a buffer zone itself
Mixed socio-cultural region
Mixed socio-cultural region is usually itself a colony and / or vassal of a certain SCS and subject to the various SCS-s struggle and socio-cultural competition
3.5. Ability to create naturally dependent vassals in a course of a socio-cultural transformation of other territories
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
Has the ability to create naturally dependent vassals in a course of socio-cultural transformation of other territories. This is the unique quality and indication of SCS
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
Has no such ability. Military-political and economic vassals of a second grade never become naturally dependent ones. SCD-s themselves may, for some historical time, become vassals of a neighbouring SCS and then use such subordinate status to achieve own goals and gain some socio-cultural benefits
Socio-cultural buffer zone
Has no such ability. Buffer zones never form naturally dependent vassals and themselves are always vassals of a neighbouring SCS. Change of a dominating SCS is a routine and always external matter
Mixed socio-cultural region
Has no such ability. Mixed socio-cultural regions never form naturally dependent vassals and themselves are always vassals of various SCS-s that pretend to assimilate some territories within the region. Change of a dominating SCS is a routine and always external matter
4. POPULATION
4.1. Existence of a relatively large quantities of own population
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
Quantities of the SCS's population, compare to general numbers of currently inhabiting the Earth people, are always significant. Most of the World's population lives within SCS-s
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
Quantities of the SCD-s' population, as a rule, are not comparable to those of SCS-s', but may be quite significant, especially in the case of SCD-s with stable homelands
Socio-cultural buffer zone
Quantity of the buffer zone's population may be quite large, but, as a rule, it's never comparable to that of any taken separately SCS. It maintains definite tendency to periodically reduce the numbers of own population, at the expense of various mechanical migrations of its considerable parts
Mixed socio-cultural region
Quantity of the mixed region's population may be quite large, but, as a rule, it's not comparable to that of SCS
4.2. Ability to conduct a successive socio-cultural assimilation of alien population, by including it into own structure together with the new territories
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
Able to socio-culturally assimilate alien population successively. This ability manifests itself during periods of creating the own homeland and internal buffer zones. This is the unique quality and indication of SCS
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
Has no such ability. SCD's population is rigidly reserved and unable to assimilate alien population in principle. Isolation from the rest of the world is a strict standard of SCD as a specific socio-cultural formation
Socio-cultural buffer zone
Has no such ability. There is no isolation as in case of SCD, but there is no assimilation of alien population either
Mixed socio-cultural region
Within mixed socio-cultural regions, assimilation of alien population and territories by various SCS-s takes place. At the developed stages of a mixed region assimilation, it ceases to exist
4.3. Ability of population to retain its qualitative specific characteristics within alien socio-cultural formations
Socio-cultural system (SCS)
SCS's population is able to preserve its specific qualities within alien socio-cultural formations
Socio-cultural domain (SCD)
SCD's population possesses strikingly expressed ability to retain own specific qualities within alien socio-cultural formations. It guarantees SCD's survival in a sporadic condition during historically considerable intervals of time
Socio-cultural buffer zone
Such ability isn't quite obvious. Usually, assimilation of the significant parts of a buffer zone's population into other socio-cultural formations takes place
Mixed socio-cultural region
Population is too diverse and heterogeneous. As a rule, it retains own qualitative characteristics, but also may be assimilated itself: everything depends on a combination of specific (historical) conditions
