selecting municipal heads show that attempts to integrate the municipal level into the “power
vertical” are not always successful. This article analyzes the procedure of conflict-ridden contests
in order to trace the interaction ...

The authors of the article oppose the expert mainstream, which is based on methodological individualism and reduces social well-being to the standard of living, education, and freedom of individuals. Mainstream measurements do not consider historically established communities as subjects of development, and therefore do not notice the obvious paradox: maximizing what is commonly considered to ...

Что есть политический реализм: фиксация фактов или постижение скрытых тенденций? В утопия - несбыточная мечта или призыв, способный преобразить мир? Наконец, есть ли в политике место для морали? Книга отвечает на эти вопросы через призму наследия Макиавелли. Автор показывает его не советником государей, а моралистом, утопистом и "народным трибуном". Диалог с таким Макиавелли позволяет автору ...
