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.

Локальные элиты: всегда ли исполнительная власть доминирует над представительной в малых городах России?

С. 5383–5385.
Chirikova A., Ledyaev V. G.
The article presents the outcomes of empirical study in 2 small Russian towns and one district in Perm and Ivanovo regions. The analysis of interactions between local legislatures and administrations in the three communities is based on 37 in-depth face to face interviews with local politicians, public officials, businessmen, heads of media outlets and experts. The outcomes of the study show that not in all the communities the stable domination of the local executive over the legislature takes place. In some communities we discovered obvious deviations from the basic model of relationships between the branches of the local government. Alternative patterns of relationships (“quasi-domination of local legislature”, “temporary parity under confrontation”, “alliance in the face of "external threat"”) take place mainly due to the personal factor: the administrations were headed by inadequate and/or inexperienced leaders unable to realize the high power potential of their position.
