Full textAbstract:
The article shows the weakness of mainstream Polish political science. Its main weakness, according to the author, is omitting the industrial and corporate power conflict among the factors determining the contemporary politics. As a result, the relations between political science and political economy have become weak. Its place as a source of inspiration for political scientists has been taken by social philosophy. It seeks the various non-economic sources of politics. The postulated critical political science puts in the spotlight the main processes of the global capitalist economy located in a phase of stagnation and closing in on the natural limits of its duration. In particular, closer attention should be focused on tracking a new, already the fifth configuration of the market society. It will be the several partial processes weave; the recovery process of autonomy by the state to corporations and the financial sector (deglobalisation); the process of recovering control of the state by the old and new social movements (democracy participatory), and the process of transformation of the energy economy, coupled with the process of changing lifestyles: from consumerism to paideia as a human community responsive to its activity on the development, openness and creativity in shaping new rules for civilization.

It is very difficult to date the birth of political science in Argentina. Unlike other discipline of the social sciences, in Argentina the first distinction can be made between political thought on the one hand, and political science in another. The debate over political thought—as the reflection of different political questions—emerged in our country in the nineteenth century, especially during the process of constructing the Argentine nation-state. Conversely, political science is defined in a general way as the application of the scientific method to the studies on the power of the state (Fernández 2001).

The transformation of the understanding and implementation of environmental policy in modern Russia brings the need for an interdisciplinary approach to the training of specialists working in this field to the forefront. Civil society is actively involved in the decision-making process on environmental protection. As a unifying principle for politics and ecology, the public ecology that is still being formed in Russia has been chosen. It actively involves society in generating, solving and evaluating these decisions in the political, social and environmental spheres. In the Perm Region, there are frequent cases of integration of experts from the field of ecology and politics to initiate and make management decisions on the environmental agenda and within the framework of sustainable development. This expert community decided to join forces and develop a joint master program "Public Ecology and Public Policy". Graduates of the program will be able to work in state and local authorities responsible for the environmental situation. They will become versatile specialists and will influence management decision-making, justifying them in a reasoned manner. In addition, they will be able to apply their knowledge in the field of environmental consulting, marketing and communications, as well as journalism that reveals the environmental problems of modern society.

Full textAbstract:
As evidenced by research in evolutionary psychology, humans have evolved sophisticated psychological mechanisms tailored to solve enduring adaptive problems of social life. Many of these social problems are political in nature and relate to the distribution of costs and benefits within and between groups. In that sense, evolutionary psychology suggests that humans are, by nature, political animals. By implication, a straightforward application of evolutionary psychology to the study of public opinion seems to entail that modern individuals find politics intrinsically interesting. Yet, as documented by more than fifty years of research in political science, people lack knowledge of basic features of the political process and the ability to form consistent political attitudes. By reviewing and integrating research in evolutionary psychology and public opinion, we describe (1) why modern mass politics often fail to activate evolved mechanisms and (2) the conditions in which these mechanisms are in fact triggered.

Full textAbstract:
In the framework of reformation changes in the state and society, the issues of the political decision-making theory developing on the basis of neoclassical realism are of particular relevance and determine the directions for research of specialists of different industries.
Domestic and foreign researchers in the field of political science, who study the process of political decision-making, analyze it at three principal levels: global, state and sub-state. The global level reflects the international character of states’ activities; includes the global dependence of political decision-making, in which international organizations, institutions and norms reduce the anarchy of political decision-making in the country; is formed under the influence of the building and distribution of states and international system images. The state-level reflects the degree of unity that is achieved with the joint participation of both the state and the entire national community of people in political decision-making and in responding to the challenge posed by the international environment. Not only the state level, which considers the attributes of the state as a system of different institutions with their peculiarities of political decision-making, should be distinguished, but also the sub-state level, in which the interaction of social, including individual, and state actors in the process of political decision-making takes place.
The issues of population mobilization in the course of implementing a political decision in the Ukrainian context are determined as the presence of various domestic «obstacles» to the implementation of those initiatives that come from the state or public structures. The authors distinguish the most important of them: the bureaucratic nature and corruption of the implementation process of public initiatives in political, social or economic spheres; low political diversity, lack of political party representation in parliament and low functional «maturity» of the legislative branch; an underdeveloped political culture of participation creates burdens when making a political decision since the political system lacks information at its «entrance»; socio-economic problems of the majority of the population that prevent it from responding to political initiatives

Introduction. The article is a survey study, the purpose of which is to analyze the evolution of concepts in the field of political сommunicativistics, aimed at understanding the role of information in the system of political processes from the middle of the 20th Century to the present day. Methods and materials. As the main toolkit for working with scientific texts, methods of qualitative text analysis, focused on the study of the conceptual description of social problems, aspects of the interaction between government and society were used. As materials for the analysis, the texts of Russian and foreign scientists devoted to the study of the role of information in public administration and in political processes and published in one of the leading scientific periodicals or central scientific publishing houses were used. Analysis. The article establishes the objective factors of enhancing scientific research in the subject area of political сommunicativistics in the 20th Century, examines the modern understanding of the role of information in the processes of public administration, the influence of the general information theory and the cybernetic approach on the development of Russian political communication. Result. Modern political science concepts do not demonstrate a unified understanding of the “information future” image that emerges under the influence of the “digital revolution”. The range of approaches is wide, from the libertarian assumption of a gradual weakening of the state functions and the transition to direct democracy, when citizens are in direct contact with each other using the technologies of the information and communication system of Internet and do not need the mediation of professional state administrators, to the revival of totalitarian forms of government based on control over information flows. The tendency of Russian scientists to correlate with the trends of state policy, shifting their research topics to the political aspects of information security, social networks and the activity of opposition public associations on the Internet, was revealed as the dominant trend at the current stage. This trend is ambiguous – it corresponds to the nature of modern challenges and threats in the information sphere, but in the future it can negatively affect the volume and quality of fundamental theoretical developments, and decrease the interest in them.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the object, subject, main properties, tasks and functions of the science "constitutional innovation". It is a science that studies the implementation of constitutional ideas developed by political philosophy in the life of society. This implementation is carried out throughout the world, in individual countries and at the local level. Based on the subject of the study, the structure of the science "constitutional innovation" is described. Within it, a general theory is distinguished, which studies the laws of the transition of the world and individual countries from the pre-constitutional system to the constitutional one. She answers questions about the possibility of transition of all countries of the world to constitutionalism, about the ways of this transition. In the course of the movement towards constitutionalism, there is usually a stage of imitation of the constitutional system. Part of constitutional innovation should be constitutional deviantology, which studies deviations from the ideals of constitutionalism, the factors that cause them. The General theory develops methods of cognition of this world process. According to the author, the study of the subject of research should be based on dialectics, a materialistic approach using the ideas of Enlightenment, modernization theories, democratic transit, diffusion theory, and conflict theory. Constitutional innovation includes the history of the world's movement towards constitutionalism. On the basis of the known regularities, forecasts of the constitutionalization of the world and individual countries are built. Constitutional innovation performs applied tasks. It helps supporters of constitutionalism to form programs for the promotion of constitutional ideas in the life of society. A separate area of research is the introduction of constitutional ideas through international relations. Constitutional countries are trying to build the whole world in their own image. Science evaluates the effectiveness of the measures applied.

This paper discusses the ideas of populism as highlighted by Mouffe and Laclau to analyze its relevance for Indonesian democracy context. Populism is a political style which is a source for change based on the systematic use of rhetorical appeal to the people. This research focuses on populism in relation to democracy which brings forth left and right-wing populism. The concept of populism in general leads us to look at the fact of populism in Indonesia democracy context. Some crisis such us economic crisis, poverty, inequality and the failure of the government in looking after the common will and the common good of people lead to create a ‘populist moment’ particularly in Indonesia context. Therefore, radical democracy and left populism of Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau which this research is focusing on, offers some relevant suggestions to enhance the democratic participation of the people to overcome some crises in Indonesia democracy, which is mostly being co-opted by predatory oligarchy.

The issues of women’s political participation, which are considered in the article, allow not only to predict the general course of the political process in Russia, but also to identify the degree of women’s influence on the electoral results. The article is written on the data of last wave of Monitoring “How do you live, Russia?” (June 2021), launched by the Centre of strategic social and political studies of the Institute of social and political research of Russian Academy of Sciences. The author analyses the features of the legitimization of the Russian political regime by the female part of society, which are determined by the level of trust in various public and political institutions and the level of satisfaction with the political system. Analyzing the political parties sympathies and features of the declared political behavior of women, the author concludes that there are minimal differences in the assessments of the content and specifics of the political system in the opinions of men and women, discrepancies were found in the assessment of the activities of some political leaders, as well as in political parties sympathies. Given the absence of a split between the sexes in the assessment of political issues, it is possible to predict the preservation of the existing gender order, which is characterized by traditional ideas about the role of women in society

The basis of the political analysis of political parties is the observance of the relevant norms regulating the activities of the party, the formation of their goals and objectives. Political parties have their own organizational and legal basis, have their own charter, program, leaders, their own goals and objectives and perform certain functions. One of the goals of any political party is to participate in the political life of society, in solving its issues. One of the tasks of the party is to participate in public administration by representing the interests of the population during the elections of various levels. The legislative field regulating political parties is constantly being updated; laws are being amended in accordance with the realities of society’s life. The adopted amendments to the federal legislation on elections and on political parties have radically changed a number of conditions regulating the procedure for the creation and functioning of political parties, setting their goals and defining tasks. Today, approaches to the formation and activity of political organizations, including parties, have been largely changed, for example, the procedure for creating a political party has been changed, now only 500 members are needed when creating it; approaches to voting have been changed. These changes correspond to the state of the modern political process and are aimed at the development of political institutions, including political parties. The definition of the goals and objectives of the party is within the competence of its statutory documents and is reflected in the party’s program. In general, the setting of the goals and objectives of the party determines its main areas of activity and its essence

College students are agents of change who are expected to participate and contribute to the nation and state. Students with their idealism are required to be actively engaged in influencing the process and making political decisions that have an impact on public policy. This study aims to examine the relationship between political efficacy and political engagement in college students, and to understand the motivation for political engagement. This study uses a mixed method consisting of quantitative comparison and qualitative description. This study involved 345 students from the cluster of Science and Technology at Diponegoro University to fill out the instruments, of which 3 students were assigned in the interview process. The first stage is data collection using the Political Efficacy Scale (α = 0.852, 11 items) and the Political Engagement Scale (α = 0.862, 16 items). Afterward, the second stage is data collection using in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that there is a significant positive relationship between political efficacy and political engagement in students. The correlation coefficient is 0.456 with a significance of 0.000 (p-value <0.05). Political efficacy makes an effective contribution of 20.8% to political engagement. The motivation for political engagement is personal awareness, perceived political effects, reinforcement from social environment, and uncertainty avoidance. This research has implications for the urgency of student awareness and the role of the social environment of students in fostering political engagement.Mahasiswa merupakan agen perubahan yang diharapkan turut serta berkontribusi bagi bangsa dan negara.

Theoretical and empirical data indicate the need to recognize the value and applicability of the political science tools of law in legal research. Determination of the scientific status of political science of law as an element of the general theoretical science of law or an independent science at the initial stage of approbation of its methodological prospects is not an end in itself. The article attempts to initially understand the political content of legal liability and its system at the normative and individual levels of legal regulation using the methods of political science of law. Based on the analysis of social and political practice, domestic and foreign conceptual ideas, as well as the provisions of the current legislation of Russia and the specifics of its application, the author comes to the conclusion that political and legal reality deeply penetrates into the structure of the phenomenon of the system of legal liability. By defining the boundaries of the political element, areas of contact of the legal liability system with the socio-political sphere in the general context of the legal formation process, assessment of the regulatory impact and the degree of effectiveness of law enforcement are identified. The problem areas of the system of legal liability are revealed, requiring the application of the methods of political science of law and the imposition of the model of the legal process, mediating the consolidation and realization of liability, on the model of the political process. The prospects are established and the expected results of the use of political and legal analysis, political and legal modeling, political and legal experiment and a comparative political and legal method in relation to the subject of research are formulated.

Political processes are a complex system of organizational type. In this article, we are considering certain aspects, which stem from the principle of the system approach and are directly related to management of complex organizational systems. At the same time, the main attention is paid to the close connection of the principle of the system approach and the mathematical modeling of the systems of orga¬nizational management. Goals and objectives. The main goal of the article is to consider the ideas of the system approach, which imply the focus of attention on the quality and properties inherent to the system in general. The behavior of separate elements of the system is analyzed only in the context in which these are related to the achievement of the goal and to the effectiveness of the system’s functioning on the whole. Mathematical modeling ensures the fulfillment of the system approach for management organization taking into account the feedback principle. Methods. Mathematical model allows to form a logically harmonious formalized description of the managerial tasks. The following elements of decision-making are distinguished in the formal structure: goals, controllable variables, external variables, uncontrolled parameters, limitations, decision, efficiency criterion. The development of a mathematical model includes the determi¬ning of the interrelations between all the elements of the formal structure of the task and portraying them as mathematical expressions (equations, inequalities, etc.). Results. The article presents a decomposition of the process of developing a managerial solution comprising the following stages: verbal task setting (problem statement), forming of a mathematical model, task solving, solution analysis, model correction (if necessary) and finding a corrected solution, implementation of the final decision made in the management practice. In the end of the article, we consider an example of solving a managerial task in accordance with all the listed stages. Conclusion. The use of mathematical modeling and methods of solving managerial tasks in professional activity of a political figure allows to improve the effectiveness of the decisions made by this person and provides him/her with communication means, thanks to using the professional language of mathematics.

Full textAbstract:
Power law distributions have a certain appeal to researchers, not least because they often insinuate a general empirical law. Hence, searching for them in data generated by social and political processes has become popular. In the political science literature, however, power law behavior has rarely been assessed rigorously. Relying mainly on qualitative appraisals of log–log plots, merely a necessary, but no sufficient, condition of power law behavior is tested. This letter therefore seconds the note of caution expressed recently. Moreover, it showcases the use of a principled statistical framework to test power law behavior in a quantitative manner. Applying this method to a seminal case in political science, the results of the analysis invite an empirical as well as theoretical refinement of the claim that changes in public budgets follow a power law. In a more general sense, the letter wishes to contribute to a more thorough practice of stochastic process methods in political science.

This essay adapts Norbert Elias’s transition theory – presented in The Civilizing Process – to Hungarian politics, specifically to the period between 1989–1990, following the change of regime. The first part of the essay summarises what figurational sociology meant for Norbert Elias and outlines how the analysis will be based on these two terms. The second part explores the limits of “condition” centred political science in the period following 1990 and comes to the conclusion that there is a strong relation between the mainstream teleological approach to democracy and “condition” centred political science. In the third part, the author introduces the concept of an open-ended transition as the key element of post-regime change figurational political science and outlines a figurational approach to political science. The essay ends with a short summary which states that, following the post-transitology era, new approaches need to be applied when describing Hungarian politics.

The contours of his general political and philosophical concept of social development are determined, original approaches to the interpretation of the categories “power” and “politics”, the laws of politics and political activity, and a number of basic concepts of political science are reconstructed. The role of A. Kovalev in substantiating the importance of political science, its structure and its place in the system of social and humanitarian sciences is highlighted. His persistent desire to establish the foundations of politics with the way of production of public life is noted and thereby more fully highlight the ideological and methodological aspects of political science knowledge, to link the philosophy and theory of political science with the variety of its instrumental dimensions. A. Kovalev’s interpretation of the problem of interrelation and interdependence of system-wide and individual needs and interests in public life, natural and spontaneous in the political process, the importance of the moral principle in politics is revealed. The question is raised about his development of the problem of the correlation of natural and social, the dialectics of civilizational and formational in social development, the correlation of innovations and traditions in political life, the scientific responsibility of a political scientist. Particular attention is paid to the qualities of A. Kovalev as an organizer of science, teacher and mentor, who educated many dozens and even hundreds of political scientists who confidently took their place in the formation and development of political science in the country. It is emphasized that the scientific merits of A. Kovalev are inseparable from his highly moral civil position, responsibility for the fate of the Motherland.

Purpose of the research: This article discusses the different aspects to consider when deciding the pedagogical choices by which various political sciences can be taught and learnt. Pedagogy is the educational process a teacher uses to teach a learner a new skill. Pedagogy can be teacher-centred or learner-centred, the latter focussing on students having an active role in the learning process. Research methodology: This critical review was written by conducting several internet searches using clearly relevant keywords. Grey literature, policy documents from numerous state actors, associated democratisation, higher education practitioners and stakeholders, feature extensively in this critical review. Findings: Political science students could be taught using experiential learning-centred pedagogy, to learn how equality, diversity and inclusion affect political processes. A basic understanding of political science concepts e.g., agenda-setting and media manipulation, are crucial in conceptualising the politic of equality, diversity and inclusion. Conclusions: Three factors that have caused a significant increase in political science degree applications: The 2008 election of Barack Obama as US President heralded digital democracy and E-government participation.; the rise to prominence of Greta Thunberg, climate activist with the environmentalist movement Extinction Rebellion; the #BLM social movement, re-ignited by the death of George Floyd.

Introduction. The article analyzes the phenomenon of reproducing authoritarian scenario of social and political modernization of Russia in the XX century. It is noted that the stability of political tradition of authoritarian governance can be explained by the mechanisms of action of the constants of Russian political culture, the presence of a certain modernization potential in authoritarian political institutions, as well as by geopolitical and geoeconomic conditions. Methods. Using the general scientific principle of complementarity, the author compares sociocultural, institutional and civilizational (technological) approaches to the analysis of Russian political culture. Causal explanations in combination with the analog method make it possible to reveal the relationship between the constants of political culture and various non-political practices of social life. The systemic and sociocultural approach is used to consider homogeneity and heterogeneity in the political culture of Russia, as well as the role of values in its impact on the process of modernization. Analysis. The author substantiates the conclusion that explanations of the content of Russian political culture, as well as the mechanisms and stability of its impact on the political process, are to be sought in the foundations of social organization and management of Russian society, the peculiarities of maintaining its social discipline and resolving conflicts, as well as in political experience of actors. It is argued that the depth of the split in the political culture of Russia and the strength of its impact on society and the political process are exaggerated. The manifestations of the unity of value orientations and political attitudes of the elite and wide strata of the population are considered. A variant of the periodization of Russian modernization is presented, demonstrating the historical logic of solving the problems of modernization, the objective conditionality of a gradual transition from an authoritarian to a democratic way of its implementation. The article shows the possibility of using integrating values of Russian political culture to substantiate the democratic version of its development.

Full textAbstract:
Thinkers have used the term «institute» for centuries. At the same time, there was no more or less clear and uniform definition of that category for a long time. Even today there are unsolved oppositions in the area, and the dynamics of ideas is very high. The article deals with the interpretation and operationalization of one of the main concepts of political science – «political institution». The relevance of the work is caused by insufficient methodological definiteness of the term in modern Russian political science. Such insufficiency makes it impossible to study the structure of the Russian political system and the process of its development and the issues that appear during the institutionalization of political life. The scientific novelty of the article can be traced in the establishment of general trends in evolution, the idea of institution and identification of the main steps of that process. The article considers and characterizes differences between the philosophical and scientific views on institutions. Base periods with their own specifics are also considered within each of them. It describes the influence that the basic approaches of classical political science (systematical, structural-functional, behavioral, etc.) had on the development of institutional research. The modern neo-institutional step of the development of ideas about institutions and the formation of a «new look» at it is considered separately and specifically. At the end of the article, the relevant definition of the main concept is provided.

The article examines the interpretations of the political processes of democratization by authoritative Russian and foreign researchers, primarily by political scientists, as well as modern characteristics and trends of democratization based on both recognized established theories of the XX century and the most modern research and scientific publications. The article has a review-analytical character. The method of secondary analysis of scientific sources is applied. The author highlights structural and procedural/actor approaches to the study of democratic transits. Attention is paid to the global pace of democratization of political systems of states in the XX century and modern trends in democratization based on data from monitoring centers specializing in socio-political research. It is shown that the pace of democratization at the global level is currently declining, which may indicate a naturally expected decline in the "third wave" of democratization in S.Huntington's terminology. Based on the conducted analytical research, the main criteria that ensure the reproduction of the democratic system are identified: the formation and functioning of the party and electoral systems, the consolidation of the electorate based on the adoption of democratic values, the formation and development of civil society, on the basis of which in the future it is possible to conduct a comparative analysis after identifying the relevant indicators. The factors hindering democratization are considered. Attention is paid to the proposals of researchers aimed at improving the quality and sustainability of democracy. A remark is also made that for a number of states the expediency of fully adopting liberal democracy is currently a debatable topic due to the presence of at least two conceptually different paradigms of understanding and interpreting democracy: Western and eastern models of democracy with different roots. The relevance of the studied topic is explained by the fact that the variety and state of the political system of the state somehow affect every citizen; studies of the processes of development of political systems can contribute to the search for optimal ways of reform.

Full textAbstract:
The relationship between religion and secular political parties has shown a complex configuration and has given rise to various political dynamics. GMIM or The Evangelical Meshi Church in Minahasa is currently the most important religious institution in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, with a strong network and structure extending to the service environment. This article aims to determine how political party infiltration into GMIM as a church organization contributes to a broader and more comprehensive understanding. This qualitative research uses a case study approach with the number of informants targeted in this group category of 15 people. The results of the study found that the infiltration of secular political parties into GMIM occurred through various efforts; one of the efforts that led to the political infiltration of secular parties into GMIM was an effort to weaken BIPRA’s (Ministry of Fathers, Mothers, Youth, Teenagers, Children) strength which cut from within BIPRA itself. The occurrence of the infiltration process in GMIM is an internal problem in the Church itself. The weak regeneration of clergy is also a problem of easy infiltration in GMIM. This effort to weaken and marginalize church cadres lasted almost 49 years. The infiltration process occurs because of problems in decision-making at GMIM. Decision-making in GMIM currently ignores the role of the congregation’s elder missionary premise. The method of contesting the selection of structures in GMIM also has many problems. The paradigm of democratic elections with various sound stages has changed to a transactional-oriented election. This is the basis that the critical group in GMIM no longer provides filtering of influences that enter GMIM. The infiltration process or movement in the GMIM structure has been going on for a long time. Political parties, through their political elites, dominate the management structure of GMIM, which impacts church decisions influenced by political content.

This study examines instances of political incorrectness in the context of contemporary Pakistani politics. It investigates the strategies employed by certain Pakistani politicians and political activists to advance their political objectives with political incorrectness. The research population consists of individuals from the online community on Twitter, specifically political activists and politicians. The data collection process was conducted by the researchers, ensuring accuracy and reliability and then was carefully examined and analyzed in detail with the help of the three-dimensional model devised by Norman Fairclough (2015). The research methodology used was descriptive and qualitative, focusing on providing a clear understanding of the subject. The findings of the study highlight that utilizing political incorrectness can be an effective means of belittling, ridiculing, and mocking political adversaries. Additionally, it revealed that political incorrectness could sway less educated individuals in the desired direction. This strategy proves to be quite shrewd, allowing political parties to accomplish their desired political objectives by defaming opponents.

Full textAbstract:
How do the disciplinary boundaries of arts education shape art’s political horizons? Sixty-five years on from CP Snow’s controversial lecture The Two Cultures, both his protagonists (on one side the arts and humanities, on the other the sciences, management, finance) have claimed significant epistemological, political and practical ground. The distance that separates them, however, appears greater than ever. Art often stands in opposition to the hegemonic tendencies of positivist forms of knowledge, dismissing them as incompatible with its political goals. Given the formal disciplinary setting of art education, exacerbated in the competitive modern academy, I suggest that such restrictions to art’s epistemological and practical horizons are, in fact, politically counterproductive. I propose that by rejecting an array of knowledges – particularly those based on ideals such as rationalism, evidence and epistemological certainty – as a priori incompatible with artistic practice, artistic education may be doing a considerable disservice to the political and social interventions of art that are shaped by it. To suggest that art could tactically engage with alternative forms of knowledge to expand the political field, I propose artist group Forensic Architecture as an example of a practice that circumvents traditional disciplinary limitations to, in Snow’s parlance, become a bona fide culture characterized by political credibility, albeit at the expense of limiting art’s epistemic influence in the process.

Full textAbstract:
There are two main paradigms regarding political socialization. The early-years-of-life hypothesis emphasizes the importance of political socialization in the early years, while the life-long hypothesis argues that political socialization is shaped continuously throughout life. The literature on the topic concentrates on seminal events and their impact on political socialization. In this study, we examined these hypotheses in the unique context of Arab teachers in Jewish schools in Israel. The teachers spoke about the culture of silence about politics that characterized their childhood and their inhibitions regarding engaging in politics. Entering work in a predominantly Jewish environment highlighted the social mechanisms and minority‐majority power relations that preserve Arab citizens’ political oppression. The teachers all indicated a process by which they become more politically aware, while their willingness to be politically active varies. The political dialogue between the Jewish and Arab teachers begins hesitantly but increases with time. The findings demonstrate political socialization as a life-long process that is shaped by everyday contact with the majority group and not only by historical/seminal events. It is demonstrated that schools cannot be sterilized from political influences, and the potential of Arab teachers in Jewish schools in defusing the polarization in Israeli society is emphasized.

The article considers some areas of reform of academic science, namely a radical change in the existing form of academic scientific activity, the restructuring of domestic science according to Western models, in addition, some attention is paid to such a direction of reform as reduction in the number of research institutes and scientists working there. In this regard, on the basis of the analysis of important components of science, it is shown that academic science is now the most effective sector of science, the basis of the country's scientific potential. As for the policy of the state aimed at optimizing scientific activity, in other words, restructuring science, it negatively affects its development. The article gives an assessment of the reform results, it turns out its impact on the state of Russian science. In this regard, the level of Russian research in certain fields of science is assessed, the place of modern domestic science in world science is being investigated. The main focus is on the question of in which scientific fields Russian research is at the level of development of world science or ahead of it, and where – to one degree or another lag behind it. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of measures to accelerate the development of fundamental science in our country. In this regard, the problems of increasing research funding, eliminating state interference in the process of self-organization of the academic scientific community, modernizing the infrastructure of academic science, ensuring the worthy position of the scientific elite, especially young scientists, whom the future of Russian science in the third millennium largely depends on, are analyzed.

Based on the ideas of I. Wallerstein, we are making attempts to “feel the elephant” of political reflection on the dramatically changing political reality.

The article focuses on the features of the political process in Ukraine. It is argued that the political process is a form of functioning of the political system of society in space and time, and also reflects the real interaction of subjects of public policy. It is demonstrated that the conceptual principles of the theory and methods of studying political processes are sufficiently represented in native and foreign scientific literature. However, certain problems of political process development in Ukraine remain rather uncovered in the academic literature, in particular, the rise of new factors, challenges, or a permanent change in the political situation. The purpose of the article is to analyze the features of the political process in Ukraine, identify its main problems and development prospects. It has been determined that the political process in Ukraine is not linear, any consensus between the key actors of the process regarding its goals or means is a priori impossible, there is a constant vacillation between democratic and authoritarian tendencies, and most political actions and decisions are behind the scenes or shaded. The author specifies that the key factors influencing the political process in Ukraine are the transformation of the institutional system, the role of interest groups and pressure, as well as the value system and behavioral code of the native political elite. It is proved that an institutional trap has formed in Ukraine – an inefficient self-sustaining stable institutional balance based on a combination of formal and informal political institutions in the political process, which none of the main political actors want to change. This is due to the fact that in the institutional trap, political elites can receive rent and remain in power. At the same time, some institutional changes that took place in Ukraine after 2014 contribute to the gradual exit of our country from the institutional trap. As a result, in the short term, it is necessary to focus on strengthening the powers and expanding the influence of representative bodies of state power, because it is through them that citizens become closer both to the process of public administration in general and to legislative work.

The emergence of decentralization throughout the world has provoked question whether decentralization has played several important roles in fostering accountable and responsible governance. As the concept of governance expanded, so did thinking about the rationale, objectives, and forms of decentralization. Decentralization now encompasses not only the transfer of power, authority, and responsibility within the government but also the sharing of authority and resources for shaping public policy within society. One of the important reasons that drives Indonesian government to deliver a democratic decentralization is political motivation. This relates to the growing intention to local development throughout the country posed the need for political and administrative arrangement to meet the country’s diversity. This study describes and explores the nature and the process of political devolution in the context of local government in Indonesia, in particular assessing the political devolution performance in the regency of Jember. This article employs a model that combines Boex and Yilmaz and the Local Governance Barometer framework for assessing political devolution performances. The article focuses on those issues and on the opportunities for the local government to improve the most important basic needs of the people—education and health sectors in Indonesia.

The article presents an analytical review of actual problems of the post-soviet states political systems within globalization in Ukraine and Russia. Special attention is paid to the consideration ofgeneral and particular features of political elites in both countries under impact of global transformations. The variety of globalization’s exercises complicates the valuation of its impact onsocial and state-political development the world over. Positive or negative influence of globalization processes particularly the global structures on world’s development is the main point of the present-day political studies. In terms of political science phenomena of globalization could be determined as a process of creation of integral global economy and institutional legalization of its integrity as well as transnational elite’s will to establish the system of global governance. Globalization accelerated the structural deformation of political elites and social differentiation that escalated socio-political conflicts and caused the stagnation of liberal democracy. In spite of some distinctions in results of transformations in Ukraine’s and Russia’s political systems the political elite that has been formed in these countries is characterized as socially heterogenic, bureaucratic, oligarchic, corruptive, populist and dependent on the global structures.

Political parties are one of the most important components of any democratic society, which determines the continued relevance of theoretical studies of the process of creating multi-party systems, in particular, in rela-tion to the Russian Federation. In real democracies, a multi-party system makes it possible to form a more or less accurate idea of the alignment of political forces in society, and hence of those groups of the population whose interests and beliefs they represent. In the course of working on this article, the author found that today the process of a multi-party system development in the Russian Federation is continuing. The emergence of many political parties is an inevitable stage in the formation of a society based on democratic principles. Alt-hough the process of building a multi-party system in our country is still far from being completed, political par-ties already play a significant role in the political processes of the country. Both parliamentary parties and par-ties that did not pass the required threshold express the interests of various groups and strata of Russian socie-ty. The process of creating a truly functioning multi-party system goes hand in hand with the process of forming a civil society. In modern conditions, it is of great importance to establish close constructive interaction between the state and politically active citizens, which could be seriously assisted by political parties.

Full textAbstract:
While college students traditionally exhibit low levels of political participation and interest in politics, they are more likely to engage in some forms of political expression than their elders. Their greater familiarity with online forms of political expression and engagement potentially lowers their barriers for political involvement. In turn, this potentially draws more young adults into the political process. The authors compare the precursors of expressive forms of online political engagement to those of talking to someone off-line and trying to persuade them to vote for or against a candidate or party among college students. They find that both activities are positively connected with politically oriented activity on social media as well as the frequency with which one reads blogs. They also discover that the mechanisms that explain online political expression are both similar to and different from those that explain off-line attempts at persuasion in several key ways.

The Nigerian Youth cannot be ruled out in the study of active contribution to the Nigerian political system, national stability, cohesion, and development, due to their orientation, attitude, and reactions to national issues. Political parties are the avenue for electing representatives of the people and to this effect, the Nigerian Youth have been trying to take a meaningful hold of the Nigerian parties by trying to be major political gladiators. Premised on this background, this paper is set to discuss the conceptual meaning of youth, political parties, and peacebuilding. In the same vein, it will establish the connection and relationship between youth partisanship and peacebuilding in Nigeria. Moreover, the study seeks to examine the pivotal roles the Nigerian youth play in enhancing peacebuilding and national stability as members of political parties in Nigeria, whilst also attempting to determine to what extent the youth have been contributing to conflicts and peace-building in Nigeria. The data for this study were collected through primary and secondary sources. The primary data were collected through the Interview with Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), Direct Observation (DO), and participant observation. In addition, youth organizations, amongst others, were interviewed. The secondary sources include books, journal articles, periodicals, magazines, and other publications relevant to the study. The data were analyzed using a qualitative approach. The peace-building theory was adopted as the theoretical framework for the study. The findings of the study revealed that the Nigerian Youth, in these contemporary times, have been actively involved in partisan politics and that a significant correlation between Youth participation in politics and the peacebuilding process in Nigeria is well established. Now that the youth have been brought into political parties for more participation in the civic roles that they have been excluded from in the time past, there is a need for initiating programs and policies to better understand the roles of youth in political parties and the peace-building process. The study recommends that the Nigerian youth be properly enlightened and adequately equipped in peace and peace-building processes.

The article analyses the duration of parliamentary debate in the lawmaking process in the period when Poland was governed by populist groups (2015–2019). These groups (the United Right) are critical of the modern idea of parliamentary democracy, and populist parties treat a debate in the Parliament as a political technique rather than an important political and ethical value. Formally, contemporary populism does not deny the Parliament but lowers its rank and clearly instrumentalises it, which is manifested in the practice of limiting discussion, not taking up talks, and imposing the majority’s will. At the same time, the Parliament reflects the real attitude of populist groups to the political opposition and their attempts at its political annihilation.

The paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the political process in Italy in 2021. The author analyzes the change of government in February 2021 and the country’s economic recovery and resilience plan, as well as changes in the party-political landscape that occurred in the second year of the pandemic. The study showed that there is an increase in the factors of personalization of power and the strengthening of the executive branch and stagnation of the party landscape in the absence of a clear leader among political forces. The center-right and center-left coalitions are comparable in terms of citizens’ support, but at the same time the level of frustration is growing, reflecting the dissatisfaction of citizens with any of the parties. We can say that there is a certain feeling of the lack of alternative to the proposed development model and the absence of the very request for an alternative. Against this background, the ideas of sovranism so popular recently, it seems, no longer have any prospects.

Full textAbstract:
Full institutionalization of sociology, anthropology and political science occurred in Argentina in the late 1950s. While sociology started out as an established field having radically broken with the past of the discipline, both anthropology and political science established linkages with traditional versions of their fields. Although there were differences between them, the three disciplines evolved through a process of frequent crises, resulting mostly from military interventions at the national level. Institutionalization brought with it an expansion of the labor market and the opportunities for obtaining research funds, thus generating growing professionalization. This expansion as well as the response of social scientists to repression in universities was strongly related to links with foreign foundations and international organizations. Until 1983, the dramatic history of the social sciences was marked by disappearances (desapariciones) and exile. In recent years the three disciplines have grown and diversified.
