В. Коротаев). Мон...

Considering (that) research issues of the worldwide development are becoming in need of improvement of their methodological tools increasingly, the theme of the article is a meaningful one amid existing digital revolution. Also taking into account that the huge mass of information still needs modern form of data processing and further modeling alon...

Our empirical tests generally support the hypothesis that up to certain values of the average per capita income its growth tends to lead to increased risks of sociopolitical destabilization, and only in the upper range of this indicator its growth tends to be associated with the decrease of sociopolitical destabilization risks. However, our analysi...

Дестабилизация или хотя бы ее угроза – неизбежная фаза развития любого обще- ства. Настоящая работа является попыткой учесть, насколько это возможно, влияние некоторых политических и экономических факторов, как внешних, так и внутренних, на возможную дестабилизацию в различных обществах. Монография состоит из десяти глав, объединенных в пять частей...

Our research suggests that the relation between GDP per capita and sociopolitical destabilization is not characterized by a straightforward negative correlation; it rather has an inverted U-shape. The highest risks are typical for the countries with intermediate values of GDP per capita, not the highest or lowest values. Thus, until a certain value...

Our review of some modern trends in the development of energy technologies suggests that the scenario of a significant reduction of the global oil demand can be regarded as quite probable. Such a scenario implies a rather significant decline of oil prices. The aim of this article is to estimate the sociopolitical destabilization risks that such a d...

Our empirical tests generally confirm the validity of the Olson-Huntington hypothesis that suggests a bell-shaped relationship between the levels of economic development and socio-political instability. According to this hypothesis, lower values of average per capita income tends to lead to increased risks of sociopolitical destabilization (a posit...

In the 1960s Mancur Olson and Samuel Huntington suggested that the positive correlation between per capita income and the level of sociopolitical destabilization that they detected for low and middle income countries might be partly accounted for by the growth of the inequality associated with the economic and technological development in these cou...

The article provides an analysis of the dependencies between the individual indexes destabilization of the collected CNTS, and types of regimes (“Freedom House”) from 1973 to 2012. Review and analysis is conducted through the prism of four stages of time: 1) 1973-2012; 2) 1973-1991: 2.1) 1973- 1989; 2.2) 1973-1991; 3) 1992-2010; 4) 2011- 2012.

In this article, we re-analyze the hypothesis that the relationship between the type of political regime and its political instability forms an inverted U shape. Following this logic, consistent democracies and autocracies are more stable regimes, whereas intermediate regimes (anocracies) display the lowest levels of political stability. We re-test...

Проведенные нами исследования показали, что между подушевым ВВП и интенсивностью антиправительственных демонстраций не отрицательная корреляция, а криволинейная U-образная зависимость: наиболее высокая интенсивность антиправительственных демонстраций характерна для стран ни с самым низкими, ни с самыми высоким, а со средними значениями ВВП на душу...

Проведенное исследование, основанное на количественном анализе данных по динамике цен на нефть и нестабильности, показывает, что затяжное падение цен на нефть ведет к практически неизбежному росту социально-политической нестабильности в нефтеэкспортирующих странах, а систематическое их повышение служит мощным фактором социально-политической стабили...

The study suggests that the relationship between per capita GDP and intensity of antigovernment demonstrations is not negative as tends to be believed; we are rather dealing with an inverted U-shaped relationship: the highest levels of antigovernment demonstration intensity are typical for countries with neither the lowest nor the highest values of...
