The article examines approaches to the concept
“empire” in theoretical sociology. The specificity of
any empire is the size of the space it occupies, but
this space is not enclosed within firm, established
boundaries, as is the territory of the neighboring sta tes. Even if empires are included in systems of interstate
relations, the ideologies of their ruling groups
entail limitless ...

In this entry, the origins of post-Soviet societies are traced back to the USSR before its collapse. It is argued that post-Soviet societies should be studied not only with reference to the history of the last decades of the USSR, but also with reference to the self-description of Soviet society in Soviet social sciences. The ...

This paper examines the problem of Japanese foreign expansion through the lens of constructivist international relations theory. The Oriental studies tradition to describe and explain such phenomenon frequently lacks the question why it was Japan that managed to overcome its subalternity and start its own colonial policies, but other Asian nations failed to perform it. A ...

In the world of different tribes, languages and slightly cultivated landscapes, empires through crude violence extended rent concentration scale, with the focus on infrastructure (roads, dumbs, canals), fortifications, cult centers and palaces. Investment concentration of a leading nation was achieved through robbery of other nations or through levying taxes on the periphery of the empire. ...

In the article, the author shows how Peter the Great, wanting to overcome the Russian “age of rebellion” and save the country as a state, realized the need to create a Russian Empire instead of the Muscovite state — a powerful structure, in some ways equal to the Roman Empire.

The paper analyses the little-known essay of one of the classics of economic thought, J. A. Schumpeter (1883–1950), “The Sociology of Imperialisms,” where he appears not as an economic theorist, but as an economic sociologist. The problem of imperialism interested Schumpeter almost throughout his scientific career. His theory was polemically directed against various Marxist interpretations, ...

Нападение России на Швецию было обставлено двумя причинами. Первая — личное оскорблённое чувство русского правителя, которого обидели шведские власти в Риге за три года до этого, не позволив царю, ехавшему с Великим посольством инкогнито, составить чертежи местных крепостных укреплений. Вторая причина — намерение вернуть в состав России отошедшие к Швеции ещё за 80 лет до этого новгородские земли в устье Невы, так называемые «отчины и дедины». И хотя на протяжении этих 80 ...

The march of events which have been unfolding in the last three decades in Northern Eurasia requires clarification and extension of the terminology used in the empire studies, and first of all, the supplement of the wide-spread “center-periphery” model with a third, intermediate element – the notion of “core”. The “core”, in contrast to the ...

The article considers the path dependence as an intergenerational transmission of culture. The latter is understood as a stable ideal image of the social order. In this regard, it is shown that the positive image of Stalin, rooted in the Russian public consciousness, largely predetermined the country's turn to neo-Stalinism in the 21st century. Linked ...

The term “Empire” as applied today to so different states in known history makes it diffi cult even
to give the defi nition of empire. Historical knowledge begins with critics of the sources, reconstruction of events and

state as a political form and to specific states—empire, terrorist networks,
transnational corporations, and international organizations—shared the
qualities of transboundariness and extraterritoriality, while the state’s

The imperial idea has deep roots in Russia.
