Russia and the political order in a changing world: values, institutions, prospects: results of the IX all-Russian congress of political scientists, Moscow, December 16–18, 2021

Abstract

The article presents the main results of the IX All-Russian Congress of Political Scientists, held in Moscow on December 16-18, 2021 under the auspices of the Russian Political Science Association, timed to coincide with the completion of the 65 th anniversary year since the founding of the RPSA. The largest political science event in Russia was held in a mixed (face-to-face and online) format, which made it possible to neutralize the negative consequences in the context of pandemic restrictions and ensure the scale of representation and the quality of the discussion platforms. An analysis of the course and results of the Congress demonstrated the growing role of political science in the process of forming a new political order in the modern world, including the characteristics of political regimes, governance principles, technologies and mechanisms, as well as the quality of public policy actors, means and methods for solving political problems, and the internal structure of political interactions. The article considers the possibilities of political science to shape the political world, responding to its problems and challenges.
