The authors proceed from the premise that contemporary global politics is increasingly moving away from a purely hierarchical model toward a more complex, multicentric structure, in which network interactions between states, non-state actors, and their associations are beginning to play a key role. Within this approach, BRICS is viewed not s...

China’s initiative to establish a Community of Common Destiny for Mankind (CCDM) seeks to promote sustainable development and strengthen trust between states,...

One such tool is strategic communication, which involves the synchronization of words, actions, and images for strategic engagement with target audiences. BRICS has demonstrated success in each of the three dimensions of strategic communication. The group constructs narratives on a widening range of issues, produces and complies with an increasing n...

To systematize this array of agreements, it proposes an innovative application of paradigmatic theory of development, shaped in epistemology and applicable to many fields. Groups of basic principles are identified that form six paradigm clusters in arms control, including the paradigms of risk reduction, nonproli...

The main objectives of the study were: (1) to clarify the nature of the influence of neopatrimonial practices on the development trajectories of such countries; (2) to provid...

Based on a critical review of interdisciplinary research on human–robot–environment interaction, the study identifies the key factors for the successful implementation of urban robotics projects, as well as major political and governance cha...

The article aims to analyze the prerequisites for the spread of “victim culture” (B. Campbell, J. Manning) in Russia and the possible consequences of its penetration into Russian so...

The study seeks to identify the specific features of the perception of politicians in the context of the new political reality, which has led to profound transformations both within Russia and in the broader world order. This issue remains insufficiently explored, as political psychology contains only a limited number of studies devoted to t...

It should be noted at the outset that crises are not exceptions to the “normal” diplomatic process, rather a dispositif through which practices are made visible and finetuned. Drawing on the empirical cases of Tibet and Hong Kong in the UK’s relations with China and Tibet and Taiwan in France’s relations with China, the study...

Accordingly, the aim of the study is to identify the reasons that prevent this African country from tapping into the potential of federalism, which, at least theoretically, can pacify and harmonize complex political entities. The empirical basis of the study is the evolution of Chadian ...

At the moment, the theory needs new focuses and approaches. One potential innovation that could enrich the theory is the concept of “coupvolution”, which emerged after the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. This paper explores the concept of “coupvolution”, defined as a particular type of revo...

Belkovich), which constitutes the first systematic Russian-language collection of texts exploring the diversity of conservative thought in the United States. Against the backdrop of the global “right turn” observed in recent years, the reviewed volume gains particular relevance by tracing the origins and evolution of American conservatism. The anthology&... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 03:00:00 +0300
