The article analyzes the election campaign, public discourse, and policies of J. Bolsonaro as the President of Brazil. The new President represents the model of an irreconcilable right-wing populist who focuses on US foreign policy. Bolsonaro’s rise to power came amid the crisis of left-wing populism in Brazil. The article raises the question: whether Bolsonaro’s victory is a remarkable case or a new effective model of public policy and political leadership for Brazil and other countries in the region? The author concludes that it depends largely on J. Bolsonaro’s success as the President. At the moment, the interim results of his presidency are highly controversial and continue to divide and polarize Brazilian society.

В статье рассматривается валидность ведущих межстрановых сравнительных рейтингов и гло-бальных бенчмарков с позиции теории сложных систем в международных отношениях. Процессы глобализации порождают как универсалисткие схемы и проекты, находящие отражение в межстра-новых сравнительных индексах и бенчмарках, так и сомнения в их валидности вследствие растущей сложности и многообразия политических институтов, ценностей и систем в современном мире. В статье анализируются отдельные теоретические школы в политологии, представляющие оба вы-шеуказанных подхода.Ключевые слова: рейтинг, бенчмарк, межстрановой индекс, теория сложных систем В последние десятилетия обращает на себя внимание процесс становления и постепенной институционализации нового инструмента информационного и внеш-неполитического влияния, который можно назвать «властью/силой рейтингов» («charts power»). Начиная с 1990-х гг. в мире происходит «рейтинговая револю-ция»: популяризация, легитимизация и превращение в реальную форму власти целого ряда межстрановых индексов, оценивающих и сравнивающих разные страны по разнообразным критериям и на основе различных методологических принципов.Сегодня оценки ряда межстрановых сравнительных индексов постепенно встраиваются во властный неолиберальный метанарратив и претендуют на то, чтобы выступать в качестве своеобразных критериев истинности во внутренней и внешней политике различных стран мира и международных организаций. Пере-избыток информации в информационном обществе увеличивает потребность в го-товых, радикально упрощенных и обработанных данных. Нарастающая сложность мировых процессов потенциально способствует увеличению властных возможно-стей субъектов, занимающих пограничные позиции между властью и т.н. экс-пертным сообществом и предоставляющих «вводную» информацию для приня-тия управленческих и бизнес-решений.Сравнительные межстрановые индексы тесно связаны с международным бенчмаркингом.Как известно, бенчмаркинг (от англ. benchmarking) представляет собой сопо-ставительный анализ практик, процессов, институтов по различным индикаторам
Abstract-The given article contains a hypothesis about the increasing level of influence of the system of tertiary education on stability of political regimes in many contemporary countries. In order to reveal the mechanism of such influence, the authors propose the concept of "natural rate of education", which reflects optimal balance between the labor market and the educational system from the perspective of avoidance and tackling of social protests and instability. The authors suppose that the stabilizing function of the system of tertiary education is determined by its role of the specific regulator of labor market and its capability to involve millions of young males, providing them long-term occupation. Under the state policy, this stabilizing function may be enormously exaggerated and even reach the point of extremum and become counterproductive, triggering mass protests. The article contains interdisciplinary approach, being on junction of political science and economics. The authors use selected methodological foundations of theory of human capital and introduce the notions: "educational pyramid", "educational bubble" and others. The article also includes a case study of Egypt and Tunisia before the Arab spring and contemporary Russia. The authors stress that Russian tertiary education system plays a unique and significant political role.
The article analyzes potential of applying contemporary eye-tracking technologies in the areas of analytical support of political activities and public administration. The authors conclude that eye-tracking research could be applied to planning of information and election campaigns, counter-extremism activities in the Internet, party branding and political SMM. The article shows that in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, an increasing share of information, management and regulatory functions are performed online, which further updates the possibilities of using eye-tracking to improve remote public services and optimize their usability.
The last two years of development of the Russian political system were characterised by the protest mood increasing. Social discontent and various forms of political protest have become a noticeable element of social and political life. It is symptomatic that the protest mood develops during electoral campaigns (that predetermined the victory of the opposition in the elections in a number of regions), and also as a result of development and implementation of the current governmental processes. Considering that elections have been held in the majority of Russian regions during 2017-2019, the attention to the protest movement from various political actors will increase. The authors analyze the forms, main actors and technologies of protests, worked out their typology based on case studies. The current protest mood in Russia is compared with the situation in several EU countries (primarily in France, as well as in Portugal, Poland, Serbia and Greece). In conclusion of the article will be presented the forecasts of the socio-political situation development in the Russian Federation.
