In this paper it’s analyzed the applicability of the concept of «systemic reforms» to the current socio-political transformations. In addition, the author traces the possibility of integrating different conceptual foundations of general systems theory in the consideration of the reform process (Parsons, Easton, Luhmann etc.).
