The 'Second Shift' Is Not Why Women Avoid News
Women are more likely than men to avoid political and economic news, but the reasons for this behaviour are linked less to structural inequality or family-related stress than to personal attitudes and the emotional perception of news content. This conclusion was reached by HSE researchers after analysing data from a large-scale survey of more than 10,000 residents across 61 regions of Russia. The study findings have been published in Woman in Russian Society.

Misuse of Institutions: Lessons from Transition

Ch. 7. P. 172–193.
Polishchuk L.

The twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall has stimulated much reflection on the political, economic and social transitions that have taken place in the past two decades. Many Central European and Baltic countries initially appeared to epitomize a successful transition to markets and democracy,becoming full members of the European Union. Yet the impact of the recent global financial crisis has called into question the stability of their success, and the viability of existing political arrangements. This book focuses on the long term development of the former Soviet bloc, providing a stimulating discussion on a range of important issues, including institutional development, demographic trends and the role of civil society. Twenty three eminent scholars discuss the effects and implications of reform policies, providing a unique perspective on the past as well as the economic prospects for the future.

Existing literature on multi-level governance suggests that interactions between actors at different levels lead to successful, more efficient implementation of policies. Using the example of the failed military reform of 2000-2003 in Germany, we show that multi-level governance can complicate the implementation of reforms. Particular attention is paid to how actors at the supranational and ...

Вмешательство в гражданские конфликты: соотношение внутриполитических и структурных факторов
Чернов Д. Н., Международные процессы 2024 Т. 2 № 22 С. 63–85
With the rise in civil conflicts, third-party interventions aimed at protecting and advancing national interests have become common. However, despite potential benefits, such interventions can result in negative reputational and material consequences for the intervening party. As such, decisions to intervene may often confront domestic political constraints. This study integrates the institutional aspect of democratic peace theory and neoclassical ...

How regional courts in Russia affected multinational decisions on affiliate size, entry and organization
E. Bessonova, K. Gonchar, Applied Econometrics 2024 Vol. 74 P. 51–77
We investigate the impact of court conditions on multinational decisions on entry, subsidiary size and entry mode across subnational Russian regions in 2001–2014. We apply the literature on heterogeneous firms and the institution-based view of investor behaviour, which predict that higher institutional costs raise the size and productivity cut-off of start-up subsidiaries. Our empirical results ...

The approach of development economics has been rarely used in the studies on the BRICS research agenda. This article is an attempt to fill this gap.
