The authors reject the dichotomy that presupposes their ontological independence and propose a framework of mutual constitution: the political and the technical are two modalities of a single process of human representation and self-organisation. The investigation traces the transformation of regimes of representation from ancient Greek τέχν&a...

The CPSTP is viewed not only as a scientifically grounded program and a reflection of the specific worldview of representatives of Soviet mathematical economics, but also as an element of political competition in which economists were active participants. The authors show that w...

The aim of the study is to identify the mechanisms through which systematic digital communication transforms into a stable digital reputation and becomes a significant resource for political mobilisation. The working hypothesis suggests that regular and personalised communication by right-wing populist leaders on digital platforms contributes to strengthening their p...

The impetus for the analysis was the recent political changes in Syria, in particular, the removal of President Bashar al-Assad from power on December 8, 2024, which caused a strong public response among the Syrian diaspora outside Europe. The main objective of the study is to explain the transformation of Berlin’s position toward Syrian refugees through ...

As a model for its relations with major powers, the authors propose the concept of two-level balancing – a policy of manoeuvring between states with opposing interests (the first level) and of engaging with them through a combination of cooperation and confrontation (the second level). This approach proved effective under conditions of bip... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 03:00:00 +0300 http://www.politstudies.ru/en/article/6402 http://www.politstudies.ru/ During the period 2022–2024, relations between Russia and the Republic of Korea (ROK) have significantly deteriorated due to Moscow’s launch of a special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine and Seoul’s participation in sanctions against Russia. In this regard, the questions of whether the perception of Russia in the ROK has changed since the start of the SMO and how sustainable the changes in South Korean public opinion towards Russia have become relevant. The artic...

The author argues that most previous studies have focused on cases of changes in the electoral system in consolidated democracies. The object of this study is electoral reform in Kyrgyzstan, which was implemented in 2021. The theoretical basis for explaining institutional changes is grounded in sociological institutionalism in general and the congruence model of legitimacy in particular. A...

With reference to the classics of political realism, H. Morgenthau, E. Carr, R. Aaron, it is stated that national interests arise not from abstractions, but from the specific position of the country in the system of international relations, its geography, history, institutions and value-normative guidelines, representing nothing more than long-term vital expressions of the communit...

Drawing methodologically on the general theory of scientific and intellectual movements (developing Thomas Kuhn’s approach) and on the concept of intellectual genealogy (in the form of Michel Foucault’s discursi... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 03:00:00 +0300 http://www.politstudies.ru/en/article/6408 http://www.politstudies.ru/ The article is devoted to the analysis of the genealogy of the modern nation and its constitution as a subject of political reality. First, based on the analysis of the discourse on the nation, three main traditions of understanding the nation are distinguished therein: substantialist, desubstantialist and deontological. Further, to determine the scientific validity and heuristic value of these approaches, the article examines the etymology and semantics of such concepts as “ethnos&...

It examines, in particular: (1) how fan communities that have emerged around objects of popular culture can become politicized, acquiring features of political movements; and (2) how fandomization of politics and the transfer of fan practices into the sphere of political communication occur. In the former case, media fandoms appear as an object of study for political science, while in the latter case, they appear as a theor...

The book discusses the author’s interpretation of the history of personality modeling of political leaders, encompassing three categories: a psychological sketch of a politician&rs...

For decades, US policy in the region focused on maintaining its leadership through the creation of military alliances and ensuring security, promoting economic growth, and strengthening relations with regional countries. However, with China’s rise, the successful mo... Thu, 01 Jan 1970 03:00:00 +0300
