Authors continue the research initiated at MGIMO and continued at the Higher School of Economics, including the research within…

Эмпирические вызовы и методологические подходы в сравнительной политологии (сквозь призму “Политического атласа современного мира 2.0”)
Растущие объемы, разнообразие и охват данных в последние десятилетия не только открывают перед учеными новые или меняют уже существующие области исследования, но и превращают данные в значимый элемент политики. В этом контексте эмпирические исследования, ставшие на рубеже XX-XXI вв. мейнстримом политической науки, с одной стороны, претендуют на статус строго научного обоснованного знания, а с другой – сталкиваются с некоторыми опасениями, происте…
Celebrating 100th Issue of Politeia

O.Gaman-Golutvina identifies several dimensions that together, from her point of view, define the face of Politeia and allow the journal to fulfill the mission of a development institution. A.Melville pays attention to the continuity and dynamics in the development of the journal and outlines a number of promising directions for…
A Neoconservative Consensus in Russia? Main Components, Factors of Stability, Potential of Erosion
This article analyzes the ideational consensus that has taken shape in contemporary Russian politics, including its key components, and factors both of stability and of potential erosion. Noting the extraordinary durability of this consensus, which is supported by factors including the duration of the regime itself, its support among elites and the bureaucracy, effective mobilizational propaganda and conservative orientations among the middle cla…

Статья посвящена анализу взаимовлияний между постсоветскими/российскими исследованиями (Russian Studies) последних трех десятилетий, с одной стороны, и динамикой современной политической науки в целом и сравнительной политологии, в частности, — с другой. На материале аналитического обзора публикаций по проблематике (1) предпосылок демократии и демократизации, (2) авторитарной модернизации без демократических реформ, (3) возможностей и ограничений…

What Russia Can Teach Us about Power and Influence in World Politics
There is a striking opposition within the current discourse on Russia’s position in the world. On the one hand, there are well-known arguments about Russia’s “weak hand” (relatively small and stagnating economy, vulnerability to sanctions, technological backwardness, deteriorating demography, corruption, bad institutions, etc.). On the other hand, Russia is accused of “global revisionism”, attempts to reshape and undermine the liberal world order…
Bad enough governance
This article contributes to current discussions on state capacity, quality of institutions, and political regimes. Our analysis demonstrates that the J-curve argument (“good institutions” in autocracies as compared to hybrid and transitional regimes) may not be generic and is not well supported by empirical evidence from the sample of post-Soviet countries. An explanatory model of the “King of the Mountain” is instead provided. Its focus is on th…

Mass and Elite Political Outlooks in Post-Soviet Russia
Political scientists have long sought to understand the representation of mass publics by their political leaders. Empirical research has primarily focused on patterns of representation in industrial democracies with es tablished democratic traditions. Post-communist countries like Russia, by contrast, provide the opportunity to examine patterns of and attitudes toward representation in a society in which the electoral institutions and the attitu…
The State of Public Administration
This article surveys developments in the profession of public administration in Britain in the 1980s. It explores: publications by analysing the contents of the leading journal; research grants through an analysis of ESRC awards; teaching through a resume of recent CNAA reports; and employment through a secondary analysis of the Political Studies Association's survey of the political science profession. Where possible, I compare the results with …
Power, Strategy and Games
This article rejects conventional ‘rational actor’ models of economic regulation in favour of a focus on processes of resource exchange and dependence. Using a case‐study of Yorkshire Water it identifies the membership and structure of the regulatory arena, the resources available to regulatory actors, the ‘rules of the game’, and the strategies adopted by regulator and regulated. It highlights the structurally privileged position of investors in…
