Today political discussion of public opinion survey functions can be divided into two trajectories. Certain authors argue that surveys are designed to accurately reflect public preferences and needs serving as a tool to control people’s representatives. Democracy is viewed as an elite rule carried out according to the interests of the citizens, and public opinion is viewed as a sum of individual preferences of the voters. George Gallup is a key figure behind this approach. However, there is another point of view stating that public opinion refers to democratic collective decisionmaking. This article analyzes the limitations of the former approach. The authors show that the latter one helps to see how the supervisory function of the surveys turns into acclamation. The authors also show that the latter approach is much closer to J. Bryce’s opinion than that of G. Gallup and his followers.

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
epistemic lacuna with the help of recent aesthetic and visual turn in IR. Applying the concept
of “scopic ...

На данных общероссийского опроса, проведенного Институтом социологии ФНИСЦ РАН в октябре 2025 года (N = 2000), показано, что реальная адаптированность к внешним условиям и объективные показатели адаптированности к ним - разные феномены. Объективные индикаторы адаптированности обладают меньшим эвристическим потенциалом, чем те, которые учитывают восприятие человеком соотношения своих потребностей и возможностей их удовлетворения. Адаптационный потенциал россиян ...

Malaria control in Malawi relies primarily on long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), but transmission remains heterogeneous across districts. Previous research indicates that community-based environmental management strategies, such as routine drainage maintenance, vegetation removal, and effective household waste disposal, may reduce environmental conditions conducive to malaria vector proliferation. This study investigated the ...

The "sweep effect", the most well-known consequence of the multiple non-transferable vote system, is inconsistent. This may be related to the broad voting opportunities provided by the electoral system, which facilitate the formation of diverse voting strategies. In this study, these strategies are classified based on the prevailing models of candidate selection by voters and ...

This article explores the role of the term “tolerance” in Russian presidential discourse, 2000-2020.

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, ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...
