В сентябре РИА Новости и НИУ ВШЭ опубликовали очередной мониторинг качества бюджетного приема в вузы России. В этом году Факультет политологии МГИМО МИД России согласно этому мониторингу вновь стал лидером политологического образования в стране.

Introduction. Science diplomacy is one of the tools that allows a nation to engage in full-scale dialogue with its international partners. The global discussion of how science and diplomacy interact and affect one another came to prominence only fairly recently. Nonetheless, this subject is seeing more and more interest from both governmental structures and the general public. In countries where science diplomacy is well-developed, the mechanisms of such diplomacy are seeing active use in the pursuit of optimal decision-making regarding the emerging challenges in the field of international politics. On the world stage, achieving the desired results in science, politics or various other fields depends on how well developed the model of scientific diplomacy implemented by a given country is. The purpose of this study is to highlight the potential of science diplomacy in Russia by studying its mechanisms, tools, methods and key forms of execution. Furthermore, we attempt to formalise Russian science diplomacy, compare it to the most productive foreign models and offer suggestions on how to develop science diplomacy in Russia by leveraging successful domestic and international case studies. Methods. We use the descriptive method to provide the international experience of science diplomacy (as exemplified by the USA, Great Britain, France and Germany), as well as the potential for deploying the most successful projects in Russia. The Russian experience of science diplomacy is analysed through the method of modelling. Furthermore, we use the methods of analysis and synthesis to single out the most important features of international cooperation. In turn, the comparative approach allows us to assess the predictions for how ready Russia and other countries are to face global challenges. The specifics of applying the mechanism of science diplomacy in Russia are considered through the lens of science diplomacy's classical iterations: science within diplomacy, diplomacy for science and science for diplomacy.

The aim of this paper is to show the possibility of crafting a new theoretical model of international migration that would enable researchers to take into account the political settings of the early 21st century. In order to do so, the author firstly critically examines the mainstream theories of migration that dominate today's academic literature. As a result of this analysis, it is concluded that, despite of the fact that many of the proposed theoretical approaches are quite useful for understanding certain aspects of the migration process, when it comes to the task of analyzing international migration as a whole, no conceptual model exists. The paper demonstrates that apart from the theories that are focusing on only one of migration's dimensions, albeit the most significant from a particular disciplinary perspective, the introduction of a general model is a necessary step to reach a better understanding of the nature of contemporary migration processes. The author argues that such a model can be constructed using the theory of structural violence proposed by Johan Galtung and the concepts of human development and human security.

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the formal research methods in political science and the use of such methods in Russian comparative political and international studies, in particular at MGIMO-University. The author calls not to run to extremes when dealing with these methods, analyzing their advantages and limitations. ; Статья посвящена особенностям использования формализованных методов, а также их применения в российской политологической школе, в частности в МГИМО-Университете в сравнительных политических и международных исследованиях. Автор призывает к отказу от крайностей в отношении к данным методам, анализируя возможности и ограничения их использования.

In contemporary political science time is becoming a portmanteau-concept. It forms terminological concatenations in all fields of theoretical and applied researches. At the same time methodological status of time in political science is still not clear. Author suggests a systematization of those researches there time is viewed as a meaningful factor in political process. On the analysis of theoretical basis, methodology and tools four approaches are introduced: narrative approach, psychological approach, institutionalist approach and cyclic approach. The order of introduction of these approaches is based on the degree of intentionality of political actors in their treatment of time: from the most to the least conscious end. ; В современной политической науке время все более становится концептом-портманто. Оно входит в состав терминологических конкатенаций в самых различных сферах прикладных и теоретических исследований. Вместе с тем, методологический статус времени остается почти не изученым вопросом в политологии. Автор предлагает систематизацию тех исследований в политической науке, в которых время представлено как значимый фактор политического процесса. Было выделено четыре подхода, исходя из анализа их теоретического обоснования, методологии и практического инструментария: структуралистский, психологический, институциональный и циклическовременной подходы. Предложенная последовательность подходов основана на степени интенциональности субъектов политического интереса в их обращении со временем: от наиболее к наименее осознанному порядку.

This article examines the theoretical aspects of transitioning political relations to the web, together with the informational-communicative risks associated with this process. It is highlighted that one of the relevant aspects of studying issues of a new social reality is linked to a rather rapid expansion of network structures within society, which leads to corresponding shifts in its social-political relations. As a result, the political realm is subject to significant change: notably, according to a number of experts, this leads to a gradual deterioration of traditional social institutions. As such, we can confidently claim that political activity, it being influenced by a transition to the web, is undergoing drastic change right before our eyes. That said it has to be mentioned that the substantial positive potential of our new network reality is also linked to a number of serious issues. Without a doubt, informational-network communicative technologies will take a serious toll on the morphology of social relations, which in many respects still rely on traditional hierarchies. We should also bear in mind that a drastic shift in social topology will inevitably lead to an increase in danger, risk and conflict in the social-political realm, which will be very difficult to predict due to the inherent nature of network structures. Development of risks or lack thereof is determined by the manner in which a network is used, which is why only the potentials of risks are linked to the nature of networks. The expert community warns us about severe threats to security and stability which our new social reality brings with it. It should be noted that in this day it is important to appeal to a range of issues which includes informational-communicative risks in the realm of political relations. Actual controversy in an informational-communicative society is associated with increased risk. In the author's opinion, as of today our new social reality is insufficiently conceptualized as an area of research. So far it lacks any sort of concepts which are universally recognized or even acceptable in the eyes of the vast majority of the scientific community. Difficulties in studying the features which characterize postindustrial development, as well as components of the latter such as globalization, informatization, transitioning to the web, are in no small part linked to rapid changes in our social reality, which prevent the effective use of past achievements in theoretical science as an analytical tool. Social-political relations and processes exhibit a high degree of dynamism, together with significant uncertainty. In its development an information society involuntarily broadens the spectrum of risky situations, which warrants serious changes in organizing control over informational-communicative risks in society, as well as developing and implementing effective informational policy.
