Академическое наследие империй: куда текут потоки международной студенческой миграции?
Ab Imperio. 2011. № 2. С. 261–299.
The article examines structural conditions which determine the direction of the international student flows. The influence of the two factors is widely recognized in the current discussion on international student mobility. The first one is economic factor which influence individual decision of a student or her/his family to migrate to more prosperous country (pull-push argument). The second is derived from world system theory: students from world periphery seek better education and go to the core countries specializing in information and high-technology production (including education). The article offers a third one - institutional and historical - perspective on international student migration. The structural connections between sending and receiving countries which support student migration are discussed. Methods of network analysis are used to examine UNESCO and Russian State Service statistics and show deep and stable canals of student migration. The results suggest that the deep migration canal direct international students from a former colony to its former imperial centre. Case-study of student migration from Kazakhstan to Russia is employed to describe the organization of international student flow on micro- and meso-level.

Post-Soviet Eurasia is one of the world's most geopolitically consequential and rapidly transforming regions. Developments across it increasingly reshape political, economic and social relations far beyond its borders. Understanding these dynamics is therefore both intellectually urgent and analytically demanding, requiring an interdisciplinary approach capable of moving beyond established categories and fragmented national perspectives.

Polarization of opinions in the group: a modeling algorithm considering the dynamics of social bonds
Chebotarev V., Andreyuk D., Elizarova Anastasiya et al., Procedia Computer Science 2022 Vol. 213 No. C P. 596–601
The dynamics of opinion in a group are of interest for a number of practical purposes. In particular, consensus helps and polarization of opinions hinders cohesive teamwork. Existing approaches for modeling opinion dynamics mostly do not take into account the dynamism of social relations in a group. This paper proposes an algorithm and a program ...

Social reality is undergoing rapid transformations, giving rise to new challenges for both social theory and practice. One of these much-discussed challenges is the so-called replicability crisis, a notion that describes the failure of the social sciences and humanities to verify established research findings with new empirical investigations. In the related debates, it is argued ...

Поскольку обстоятельство миграции усложняет период транзита к родительству, то основной проблемой молодых матерей становится адаптация к новой жизни в качестве и родителя, и мигранта одновременно. Важными аспектами адаптации в миграции и в родительстве — поддержание привычных социальных взаимодействий и ...

В статье предлагается теоретическая рамка анализа научной элиты, исходящая из понимания производства знания как динамической структуры, формируемой внутренними противоречиями. Научная элита рассматривается не как совокупность выдающихся исследователей, а как структурный эффект производства знания — позиция в пространстве науки, концентрирующая максимальный объем научного капитала и задающая смысловой горизонт для всех агентов. Пространство науки трактуется как многомерное ...

The article proposes a syntagmatic analysis of three historically constituted regimes for working with the future: linear determination, statistical branching, and loop reconfiguration. A syntagm is understood as an event-operation that exists only in its performance and simultaneously binds material, semiotic, and pragmatic registers. The analysis proceeds not as an intellectual history but as an ...

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases. 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 ...
