economic, geopolitical, and institutional crises. Focusing ...

Political scientists have long known that modern electoral autocracies can use quasi-democratic institutions to neutralize the danger posed by the opposition. Participation in elections by completely controlled spoiler parties proved to be an effective tool for maintaining authoritarian stability. However, researchers know few cases of how aging authoritarian regimes create systemic semi-independent opposition in order ...

Соглашаясь с Майклом Хардтом и Антонио Негри в том, что состояние современного мира может быть охарактеризовано как «глобальная гражданская война», Святослав Каспэ углубляет и расширяет эту констатацию. Используя известные древнегреческие понятия «стасис» и «полемос», он показывает, что смешение этих двух модусов войны может иметь не только негативные, но и позитивные эффекты – поскольку ограниченное и ...
