The problem of trust in political institutions is currently relevant and is becoming the object of research in many scientific fields, including political science. The interest of foreign and Russian researchers is not only the understanding of this phenomenon at the theoretical level, but also its empirical analysis for solving practical problems. In addition to the problem of a conceptual explanation of the concept of "institutional trust", which has developed due to the theoretical diversity of interpretations of this phenomenon, scientists are faced with the need to choose the best way to collect and measure data (depending on the purpose of a particular study). In this paper, the author focuses on the problem of measuring institutional trust, highlights the key areas of institutional trust analysis, considers their advantages and disadvantages.

In recent years, increased attention has focused on how doctoral
programs prepare graduate students to become faculty members at
colleges and universities. One reflection of this interest is the
development of such training programs as Preparing Future Faculty
(PFF), which the Association of American Colleges and Universities
and the Council of Graduate Schools founded in 1993. With financial
support from the Pew Charitable Trusts, the National Science
Foundation, and the Atlantic Philanthropies, and with the
participation of several professional associations, including the
American Political Science Association, PFF has grown to include
nearly 300 colleges and universities nationwide. In the recent past,
21 doctoral departments, including four from political science, have
received funding for PFF. In addition to formal PFF programs, the
literature on graduate education suggests that many doctoral
departments have established their own training routines to assist
graduate students as they prepare to teach and/or to assume faculty
responsibilities.

This article deals with the visit of the Belgian Queen Elisabeth to Poland in 1955. The monarch was to be the honorary guest of the Fifth International Chopin Competition. The queen used the opportunity to carry out a diplomatic mission, attempting to resolve issues that negotiations between Brussels and Warsaw failed to disentangle. This article analyses the mission and its political consequences for mutual relations between the two countries.

The author offers a short chronological overview of the relationship between higher education & public life throughout US history. She finds that US colleges have consistently served civic purposes, fulfilling needs in US politics & public life. She describes three models of how higher education has served civic objectives: the congregational college, the civic university, & the modern research university. She finds that political science, as a discipline, has moved away from its original roles, including the advocacy of social reforms to improve civic life, toward scientific objectivity. She looks at the university's role in the Cold War & makes some recommendations regarding the direction of academic political science in the future. 20 References. A. Funderburg

Part of a symposium on using film in political science education presents teaching methods for using the film, Battle of Algiers. Strategies include focusing on a key concept, introducing the concept prior to the film, assigning small group discussions, & integrating Internet resources into general writing assignments. The film's current salience in light of the post-9/11 context is acknowledged. References. J. Zendejas

This book offers a political anthropological perspective on the problematic character of science, combining insights from historical sociology, political theory, and cultural anthropology. Its central idea, departing from the works of Frances Yates and the Gnosticism thesis of Eric Voegelin, is that far from being the radical opposite of magic, modern science effectively grew out of magic, and its varieties, like alchemy, Hermetic philosophy, the occult, Gnosticism, and Neoplatonism. Showing that the desire to use science to solve various - real or presumed - problems of human existence has created a permanent liminal crisis, it contends that the will to science' is parasitic, existing as it does in sheer relationality, outside of and in between concrete places and communities. A study of the mutual relationship between magic and science in different historical eras, ranging from the Early Neolithic to recent disease prevention ideas, Magic and the Will to Science will appeal to scholars and students of social and anthropological theory, and the philosophy and sociology of science.
