The article examines the US counter-terrorism policy in Afghanistan after the aggravation of the situation and the activation of terrorist and radical groups since 2006. The attack on America forced Washington to resort to retaliatory measures - the war in Afghanistan began. The successes achieved by the US in the first stage in Afghanistan were largely undermined by the efforts of the Taliban movement, as well as subsequent inadequate measures taken by the US leadership.

Venezuela is widely regarded as one of the most politically divided nations in Latin America. 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

of “scopic ...

This may be related to the broad voting opportunities provided by the electoral system, which facilitate the formation of diverse voting strategies.

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.

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, ...
