Действительно ли "политическая наука сильна там, где сильна демократия"? Анализ результатов опроса политологов из 39 стран
Политическая наука. 2020. № 1. С. 35–63.
The article attempts to test empirically Samuel Huntington's well-known thesis about the relationship between democracy and political science based on data obtained during a survey "Professionalization and Social Impact of European Political Science" (ProSEPS) conducted among political scientists from 39 countries. The authors find significant relationships between the level of democracy and some parameters of political science; primarily, with the presence of political science in the public field. In the final section of the article hypotheses are put forward about other possible explanations of cross-country differences in the development of political science.

However, the mechanisms through which political polarisation facilitated the emergence of authoritarian rule under Hugo Chávez and later Nicolás Maduro remain insufficiently specified. This article develops an account of polarisation-driven autocratisation in Venezuela and examines how elite and mass polarisation ...

Environmental issues and green ideology have become an increasingly significant factor of
international relations in recent decades. Many researchers tend to focus on the ethical side of
environmentalism, paying little attention to its aesthetic component. It is possible to fill this
epistemic lacuna with the help of recent aesthetic and visual turn in IR. Applying the concept

На данных общероссийского опроса, проведенного Институтом социологии ФНИСЦ РАН в октябре 2025 года (N = 2000), показано, что реальная адаптированность к внешним условиям и объективные показатели адаптированности к ним - разные феномены. Объективные индикаторы адаптированности обладают меньшим эвристическим потенциалом, чем те, которые учитывают восприятие человеком соотношения своих потребностей и возможностей их удовлетворения. Адаптационный потенциал россиян ...

Malaria control in Malawi relies primarily on long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), but transmission remains heterogeneous across districts. Previous research indicates that community-based environmental management strategies, such as routine drainage maintenance, vegetation removal, and effective household waste disposal, may reduce environmental conditions conducive to malaria vector proliferation. This study investigated the ...

This article explores the role of the term “tolerance” in Russian presidential discourse, 2000-2020. The word became de-politicized (used equally in liberal and in conservative contexts), functioning as a buzzword and as a symbol. As a buzzword, it stood “for all good things” and denoted the positive dynamics in Russia’s nationalities and foreign policies; as ...

In 2006, a “tolerance policy” was launched in St. Petersburg to address the growing xenophobia and the need to integrate labor migrants. Applying a bottom–up perspective, this study finds that this policy was symbolic – aimed at changing public attitudes, not at providing material outcomes. The direct implementers (the street-level bureaucracy), operating under governmental constraints, ...

We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...
