Позиция западных и восточных политологов по монгольской политической действительности

The article analyzes the approaches of Western and Eastern political scientists in the study of political reality in Mongolia. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that the concept of “political reality” in general and in relation to Mongolia in particular was not previously considered in Russian scientific thought. The works of foreign and domestic political scientists-Mongol scholars mainly concerned the study of political processes in this country. A comparative analysis of the information base accumulated by representatives of Western and Eastern scientific thought makes it possible to identify problematic points when Russian scientists refer to it. Considering the question of the position of Western political scientists to the study of Mongolian political reality, it is necessary, first of all, to compare the development of scientific thought on political issues in the countries of the West and the East. Taking into account the main warring parties in the Mongolian political arena, without belittling the role of the Russian Federation in the region, it is advisable to focus on the comparison of the development of political thought in the United States and China, which is what the article is devoted to. Western researchers are now studying Mongolia no longer as an object of political interests, but as a subject of revolutionary actions. When developing the question of political reality in Mongolia, Western Mongol scholars adhere to the egocentric concept of democracy in relation to Mongolia. Chinese political scientists mainly consider the Mongolian issue from the point of view of potential threats to the sovereignty of their country, including taking into account the active actions of the United States to restrain China’s foreign policy in the region. In general, in the analysis of Western and Eastern researchers of the late XIX – early XX centuries, the political role of Mongolia was underestimated. However, a source base of empirical research was prepared, which formed the conditions for further study of this country as an object of political processes. At the same time, Mongolia is often considered as an integral part of Inner Asia, which includes both Mongolia itself and the Russian Altai, the Republics of Buryatia and Tyva, as well as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China. All this actualizes the need to develop the problem of the Mongolian political reality

How organisational politics explain IS implementation outcomes in hospitals

In the healthcare sector, the use of computer-based information systems (IS) offers a lot of new challenges. However, despite the compelling potential of the new technology, implementing IS in practice often turns out to be a pitfall. Concretely, the introduction of information systems, especially in hospitals, does not often come on time and on budget, nor does it always accomplish the initial organisational goals. We postulate that implementation failures occur to a great extent because organisations do not adequately manage the politics of information; especially healthcare organisations as they are par excellence political in nature. In our study, we elaborate in depth on the concept of organisational politics to understand the outcomes of IS implementation projects in hospitals. We propose a conceptual model that guides the empirical study of political processes in and around IS projects. Overall, our study seems to suggest that outcomes can be explained by the fact that stakeholders situated in a particular arena do tend to accept the standing power structures, even if these structures are built on bases that do not hold for the particular project environment.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MARKET - A frame analysis of the liberalization of the electricity market in the European Union

This article examines a specific case of policy-making in the European Union, the liberalization of electricity. This case illustrates the shortcomings of traditional realist and rational choice approaches to the study of political processes. Drawing on empirical research and utilizing analytical tools from the sociological cultural institutionalism and social movements studies, the article identifies and analyses cultural frames and the transformation of these in order to interpret the changes in the European electricity policy domain, changes that traditional realist and neofunctionalist approaches could not predict. The article brings out the importance of an elite bureaucratic movement that is able to frame and reframe issues within the borders of existing cultural master frames. It is also shown how transformation of frames affects the structure of interest groups at the European level.

POLITICS AND POLITICAL HISTORY IN THE TUDOR CENTURY

Recent writing on the Tudor century emphasizes the importance to the history of politics of the study of political processes. Tudor historians are, for the most part, less willing than hitherto to describe bureaucracies or institutions of government, and more concerned to present politics as something dynamic rather than static. Although their work remains rooted in the archives, Tudor specialists are increasingly receptive to the significance of (for example) political language, iconography, and literature. This article examines a number of recent contributions, in the context of post-war Tudor historiography. It accepts that the insights of other disciplines can enhance the study of sixteenth-century politics, and welcomes the intellectual and cultural turn in recent writing, but maintains that Tudor culture is not always being reconstructed with the sensitivity it needs.

Reformas políticas y eficiencia económica hacia un análisis económico de la democracia: los fundamentos del Neo-institucionalismo

This paper is aimed at presenting the "state of arts" of economic analysis in the study of political processes and their importance for resource allocation. The first part presents a general description of the "neoinstitutional school" as a new attempt to extend the theory of price and apply it to social and political institutions. The main developments of this school are presented in such fields as the importance of the balance of powers, the stability of political decisions in Congress and the influence of pressure groups on legislators. Finally some recommendations derived from these models are presented to improve the functioning of the Peruvian democratic system.

Teaching Biopolitics: Needs, Experiences, Problems and Prospects

Biopolitics must be taught in a context that makes it possible for students to acquire competence in at least evolutionary biology, genetics (with the proper molecular biology perspective), biological anthropology, neurobiology, and the evolution of behavior. A more modest beginning may be necessary, however, and actually has been pursued at various institutions.Although a systematic study of experiences in teaching biopolitics has not been prepared, various impressions have been obtained. In spite of some seemingly discouraging situations with respect to biopolitics, expectations that a biobehavioral perspective ultimately will be the principal and pervasive frame of reference for a proper study of political processes and institutions are justified.
