Russian term
вызов изменений
Russian to English
Social Sciences
International Org/Dev/Coop
I'm trying to translate the title of an article, and was wondering if anyone had suggestions. The title is:
Общество и государство в Интернете: вызов изменений.
I'm not quite sure I get the intention of "вызов изменений" in particular, so if native Russian speakers have thoughts on this, I'd be interested to hear. My best approximation so far is:
Society and the State on the Internet: The Challenge of Change.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts (explanations in Russian are welcome as well).

Note from asker:
| Thanks! This was exactly the kind of explanation I was interested in. I just hadn't encountered the form of the phrase "вызов чего-л." before, and wasn't sure whether to interpret it as "a challenge," "a call for," etc. I wasn't familiar with slovopedia.com either, and it looks like a good resource. Thanks! |

The Challenge of changes
это не русский, а калька с английского
по-русски было бы правильным сказать: трудности или проблемы

К сожалению, русские авторы еще и не такое пишут...

| Да, я тоже так думал... Но стаьтя написана русским автором--вот почему мне казалось, что я как-то неправильно понял смысл. |
| @russtran09 - да, я оговорился, а просто имел в виду, что он урожденный носитель языка--т.е., он родился, вырос, и учился в россии. |

A Call for Change
Not knowing the content of the article, I'm really not sure. This, however, is my best guess. I think it's more idiomatic and has a title's ring about it.
