In the first two decades of the 21st century, the previous democratization progress was partly reversed. It is well seen in the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe but also in other geographic regions. In search for causes of this warning trend, many authors point out economic factors such as economic stagnation, unemployment, ...

In the 1990s and early 2000s, comparison of transition strategies of China versus those in Central and Eastern Europe raised controversies in the economic and political science literature. However, differences between China and the countries of the former Soviet bloc in their transition strategies resulted not necessarily from a deliberate political choice but from different ...

The article presents interface between ideas justifying Russian
polity and efforts to implant those ideas into actual history of the country, particularly during the
last century. Contradictory effects of those efforts are acknowledged and paradoxical results
acclaimed. Still it also recognized that maturing richness of Russia’s perception alongside the
mounting institutional density of its politics propels further prospects for ...

The relationship between stateness and state capacity, on the one hand, and political regimes and their dynamics, on the other, has received increasing attention in comparative politics in recent years. Though empirical research does not provide consistent findings, arguments currently under discussion vary from “stateness first” (democratization only after effective state-building) to “building or ...

Проведенное исследование показывает наличие общей перевернутой U-образной зависимости между типами режима (ранжированными по степени их авторитарности–демократичности) и уровнем рисков революционной дестабилизации: анократиям (частичным автократиям и частичным демократиям) свойственен заметно более высокий уровень рисков революционной дестабилизации, чем полным автократиям или полностью (консолидированным) демократиям. Отметим также, что и внутри полных автократий прослеживается достаточно выраженная положительная корреляция между ...

Over the past couple of years, our knowledge about diffusion processes has increased greatly. So far, the focus has been on public policies, political institutions, and civil society repertories. Our paper breaks new ground by exploring value diffusion at the societal level. Using the World Values Survey data, we are interested in the diffusion of ...

The main focus of this paper is the impact of efficiency losses, related to public capital stock, on the prospects of economic growth in democratic and autocratic political environments. We introduce a distinction between two types of efficiency loss: along with the loss of public capital during its accumulation, we take into account the process ...

Our research suggests that the relation between GDP per capita and sociopolitical destabilization is not characterized by a straightforward negative correlation; it rather has an inverted U-shape. The highest risks are typical for the countries with intermediate values of GDP per capita, not the highest or lowest values. Thus, until a certain value of GDP ...

Conventional wisdom holds that natural resource abundance negatively affects economic development, especially in countries with weak quality of governance. In this paper we raise a related, yet separate, question that was largely overlooked in the literature - the effect of natural resource rents on technological innovations, a very specific type of economic activity. We argue ...

Recent accounts of democratic backsliding are negligent about the cultural foundations of autocracy-vs-democracy. To bring culture back in, I demonstrate that (1) the countries’ membership in culture zones explains some 70% of the global variation in autocracy-vs-democracy and (2) that this culture-bound variation has remained astoundingly constant over time – in spite of all the ...

This article proposes a new explanation of the positive correlation between democracy and terrorism detected in many previous studies. It is shown that this might be accounted for by the fact that factional democracies are subjected to more terrorist attacks than the other political regimes. A positive relationship between the democratic regime and the level ...

Проведенные нами исследования показали, что между подушевым ВВП и интенсивностью антиправительственных демон- страций не отрицательная корреляция, а криволинейная U-образная зависимость: наиболее высокая интенсивность антиправительствен- ных демонстраций характерна для стран ни с самым низкими, ни с самыми высоким, а со средними значениями ВВП на душу населения. Таким образом для более высоких значений подушевого ВВП харак- терна ...

In this article, we re-analyze the hypothesis that the relationship between the type of political regime and its political instability forms an inverted U shape. Following this logic, consistent democracies and autocracies are more stable regimes, whereas intermediate regimes (anocracies) display the lowest levels of political stability. We re-test this hypothesis using a data set ...

Democracy has not always accompanied market economy. But in modern societies, economic and political freedoms are increasingly interconnected. Democracy and market economy can support each other. This is particularly true in post-communist economies of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Thus, authoritarian tendencies observed in these and other regions can negatively affect ...

This paper deals with a model of economic growth, which we expand to include endogenous policy switching based on retrospective voting. It is shown that under certain conditions the solution has a special form that we call a cyclically balanced growth path. This type of solution is an analogue to balanced growth paths, which often ...

Recent studies have challenged the view that trade openness leads to more specialization in countries’ trade. Using a panel of 116 countries over 35 years, we show that openness can be positively associated with both specialization and diversification, depending on the measure used. Moreover, for developing countries in our sample, the effect of openness on ...

Как следует из опросов общественного мнения, отношение к демократии и правам человека в России заметно отличается от западного. Так, в странах Западной Европы демократия признается лучшей из форм политического устройства, а демократические права и свободы составляют «фундаментальную основу», неприкосновенные ценности общества, которые ни при каких условиях не могут быть пересмотрены. В Россия ситуация иная. За ...

Differences between them are drawn according to the criteria of (a) the distance between the holder of ...
