Personal Interest in Doctoral Thesis Topic Most Important for Confidence in Successful Defence
A researcher at HSE University analysed data on 1,539 doctoral students from 161 Russian universities to identify which features of a thesis topic are associated with academic success and engagement. The most important factor was found to be personal interest in the research topic, which was associated with almost all key aspects of doctoral programme experience—from engaging with the academic supervisor to research activity and confidence about successfully defending the thesis. The findings have been published in Higher Education.

Researchers Develop Methodology to Assess the Quality of Legal Representation in Criminal Proceedings
Having a good defence attorney in criminal proceedings can largely determine whether a defendant retains their freedom, health and good name. Researchers at HSE University propose a method for predicting an attorney’s performance based on the outcomes of their previous cases. The methodology takes into account the severity of the charges, the complexity of the cases, and the most likely outcome, drawing on judicial statistics.

Government Ideology and Bailout Conditionality in the European Financial Crisis
Hermida Rivera H., Genovese F., International Interactions 2022 Vol. 48 No. 5 P. 897–935
The political economy literature on international bailouts has repeatedly shown that the domestic politics of rescued countries influence international bailout compliance. However, we know less about the domestic politics of bailout negotiations, and especially the type of conditions negotiated by governments of more developed countries with strong ties to international lenders. This paper puts forward ...

Binary Self-Selective Voting Rules
Hermida Rivera H., Kerman T., Journal of Public Economic Theory 2025 Vol. 27 No. 3 P. 1–7
This paper introduces a novel binary stability property for voting rules—called binary self-selectivity—by which a society considering whether to replace its voting rule using itself in pairwise elections will choose not to do so. In Theorem 1, we show that a neutral voting rule is binary self-selective if and only if it is universally self-selective. ...

Minimal Stable Voting Rules
Hermida Rivera H., Games and Economic Behavior 2025 Vol. 153 P. 541–553
In this paper, I characterize minimal stable voting rules and minimal self-stable constitutions (i.e., pairs of voting rules) for societies in which only power matters. To do so, I first let players' preference profiles over voting rules satisfy four natural axioms commonly used in the analysis of power: non-dominance, anonymity, null player, and swing player. ...

Political polarisation and democratic backsliding: Moldova’s Paradox
Gipsman M., Ivanov D., Rosenberg D., Third World Quarterly 2026 P. 1–23
Moldova has been prone to socio-political polarisation due to historical, ethno-linguistic, and geopolitical factors. However, portraying modern Moldova as being torn between the West and the East oversimplifies the case. In Moldova, socio-political polarisation is indeed on the rise, but for the most part it is moderate rather than extreme, and the major fault lines ...

Рассмотрено восприятие российского «военного» присутствия в Африке. На 1990-е и начало 2000-х гг. пришелся длительный перерыв в российско-африканских связях, связанный с приоритетным для России выстраиванием диалога со странами Запада. Во многом благодаря этому России удалось избежать вовлечения в конфликты и сохранить уважительные отношения с африканскими странами. Однако российское «возвращение» в Африку вновь актуализировало интерес к ...
