В статье представлены результаты исследования транснационального сектора мировой экономики. На основе авторского подхода проведен сравнительный анализ развития транснациональных и национальных экономических систем. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют, что экономическая мощь крупных транснациональных корпораций превышает возможности (как экономические, так и политические) небольших и средних государств.

After the Anglo-American invasion, the US neo-conservative administration established the Iraqi Governing Council in July 2003, which included 25 members selected for their ethnic and religious origins; it was the most obvious sign of the US political separatist strategy. As a result of the new political reality, the Iraqi media was divided into ethno-sectarian lines, resulting from previous policies followed by the US administration. This article argues that the US media policy prior and after the US invasion of Iraq played a part in enhancing and encouraging the sectarian divisions in the Iraqi society. This was mainly done by sending biased media messages through the state-run Iraqi Media Network (IMN) and other US-aligned channels and allowing militant voices from different Iraqi sides to wage wars of words without interfering. In fact, the only time US officials interfered is when they were criticized by Iraqi media outlets. This study cites different US government reports, accounts from media practitioners who worked for IMN and other journalists that monitored the Iraqi media.

This dissertation explores the socio-cultural and institutional environment of the public sector organizations of Mongolia that have strong influence on current public administration reform results. This study applies the Cultural theory and Value theory. The strong hierarchy favoring rule-bounded behavior and collectivism, fatalism accepting an authority as inevitable and uncontrollable, and individualism wishing to have control over own actions are the types of culture common in Mongolian public sector organizations. Accordingly, Mongolian public sector employees transcending their selfish interests, emphasize the well-being of others, protection of order, harmony in relations, life safety and stability. Then self-direction values with emphases on independent thought and action, and creativity are important for them. This socio-cultural context has great implication for work behavior of public employees, for their action to implement the reform policies in government organizations. Thus, the institutional leadership, which produces and protects values, becomes essential for introducing changes in the existing intuitional environment.

The paper discusses the challenges of women in Science and Technology Education in relation to reforms and development in Nigeria. These challenges, such as socio-cultural factors, can reduce and even inhibit women participation in scientific and technological fields. The study presented here adopted a descriptive survey design to sample the opinion of professional women in Science and Technology and female students studying Science and Technology presently. A representative sample of 406 respondents was administered a questionnaire, later analyzed using mean and Z-ratio. The major findings revealed that, from birth, women are discouraged by the society from studying Science and Technology through cultural practices and socialization, on the pretext that Science and Technology are too hard and rigorous for women. Our recommendation is that girls should be allowed to exercise their mental ability according to individual potentials. Teachers should use a gender inclusive(girls friendly) approach in teaching Science and Technology, and the Government should ensure implementation of specific policies for women education. ; Peer Reviewed

Capital is the central power institution of capitalism: it is the main force underlying the relentless transformation of power relations in capitalist societies. The course explores the accumulation of capital from three interrelated perspectives: conceptual, historical and empirical. At the conceptual level, the course examines the evolution of different orthodox and critical theories of value and how these theories serve to explain and justify contending notions of accumulation. At the historical level, it traces the development of capital from its humble pre-capitalist origins to its present world dominance. At the empirical level, it studies and juxtaposes the qualitative and quantitative aspects of capital accumulation and study what they mean for the contemporary political economy. In parallel to these explorations, the course introduces students to the art and science of empirical research. By the end of the course, students are expected to be able to develop and integrate theoretical arguments with their own empirical work.

Рассматривается предыстория использования отечественными исследователями социокультурного метода при изучении феномена поведения российских избирателей. Показаны попытки рассмотрения мотивационной базы электорального выбора через призму стереотипов сложившейся политической культуры в период думских выборов начала ХХ века. Ретроспективный анализ исследований с применением данного метода позволяет автору сделать вывод о том, что как в прошлом, так и в настоящем основной акцент ученые делают на патерналистских настроениях массового избирателя, во многом определяющих специфику его голосования. ; The article covers the history of local researchers' using the sociocultural method to study the Russian voters' behavior phenomenon. It also shows the attempts to view the motivational base of the electoral choice through the prism of the existing political culture stereotypes during the Duma elections in the early 20th century. The retrospective analysis of the studies using this method allows the author to conclude that in the past as well as in the present scientists emphasize mainly the grassroots voters' paternalistic attitude, which largely determines their voting peculiarity.

Представлен авторский взгляд на теоретико-методологические основания прогнозирования в политике и в целом исследования политических процессов. ; The article presents the author's view on the theoretical and methodological foundations both of forecasting in politics and study of political processes in general. Author consistently analyzes the epistemological and epistemological difficulties that occur in modern social sciences within the framework of neo-Kantian paradigm, and also discusses issues related to the points of views on the uncertainty and indeterminacy that that are accepted in modern Russian Political Science. Thus, the author shows that the uncertainty is only epistemological matter and not ontological, and development of quantum physics does not mean the disappearance of the principle of causality, it mean the need to transition to the Aristotelian understanding of the causes. Referring to the work of Western physicists, the author discusses the known examples of successful prediction based on command-and-staff games, and critically analyzes the shortcomings of Synergetic as a method of Political Studies and methodological basis of political forecasting.

Подведены итоги исследования раннего комсомола как объекта открытого политического контроля. Названы объективные предпосылки осуществления политического контроля в отношении комсомольцев. Дана оценка как внешнего, так и внутреннего политического контроля над комсомолом. Публичность политического контроля связана с желанием партийных идеологов увеличить пропагандистский эффект, привлечь к процессу как можно более широкие массы молодежи, «проверить» одних комсомольцев в ходе политического контроля над другими, несколько «облагородить» систему политического контроля над молодежью внешне. ; The paper sums up the findings of the study of early Komsomol as the object of open political control. Objective preconditions for the implementation of political control concerning Komsomol members have been identifed. The assessment of both external and internal political control over Komsomol has been made. The author connects the publicity of political control with the willingness of the party ideologists to increase propaganda effect, involve broad masses of the youth into process, "test" some of the Komsomol members during political control over the others, and "improve" the system of external political control over the youth.
