dc.description.abstract

value:
This article deals with the history of Russian women’s magazine studies and shows the sociological
significance of publications on this topic. Despite the fact that women’s press emerged
as an independent type of periodicals at the beginning of the 20th century, the first scientific
works devoted to the problems of its functioning appeared at the end of the 20th century.
The scientific interest occurred because of the growing popularity of women’s periodicals and
their impact on the readership. First, it arose among philologists; however, works by historians
and sociologists gradually began to appear in other areas. The key feature that distinguished
women’s magazines from a number of other types of periodicals is that they have a clear gender
focus. Due to this aspect, many scientific works dealing with women’s press have sociological
ideas and conclusions. This article presents a bibliographic review of national female
periodicals studies, published from the end of the 20th century to the present, and elaborates
on their importance in sociological thought. Each study examined in this article expands existing
knowledge about the national female periodicals history, and shows the place and role
of magazines in society in a given historical period. All reviewed works bear out the close
connection of women’s magazines with the historical context. They also reveal the modified
structure of women’s magazine functions and show changed interactions with other institutional
structures of society.

dc.description.abstract

value: The start-up of a plant for liquid gas production in the town of Sabetta (Russia, Yamal Peninsula) requires the creation of a marine transport system for gas shipment. The town is a significant cluster for gas processing and export from South-Tambey Field. The field stock is estimated at more than one trillion cubic meters of natural gas. Ice cover is a source of possible accidents with tankers. The accidents can lead to environment contamination. Here we consider analysis of the intra- and inter-annual variability of ice conditions on the navigation route “Sabetta seaport — Kara Gate — Murmansk seaport” for the period of 1997–2018. The route is a path for export of liquid gas. Electronic ice maps of the archives of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) were processed. Maps of the archive were created by vectorization of satellite images. For 24 decades from November to June, we obtained the lengths of the route in close floating ice with presence of thick, medium, thin first-year ice, grey-white, grey and new ice, and with partial concentrations of thick and a sum of thick and medium first-year ice equal to five or more points. Tests of homogeneity of the lengths interannual series were carried out by means of the method of integral curves and nonparametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney and Siegel-Tukey criteria. Improvement of ice conditions along the route is revealed.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article presents the results of comparative legal research of convict labor organization
models in European German-speaking federative countries. The researched group of countries
included the Austrian Republic, the Federative Republic of Germany and the Switzerland
Confederation. As a base for the comparative research, penal law regulations in the sphere of
convict labor organization in the Russian Federation were taken. This choice is explained by
the federative form of government in the Russian Federation and the pronounced affiliation of
the Russian legal system to the Romano-Germanic legal family that developed over a long period
in the researched group of European countries. Sources of legal regulation of convict labor
in the Austrian Republic, the Federative Republic of Germany, the Switzerland Confederation
and the Russian Federation were determined and analyzed. Scientific research is grounded on
the systematic combination of comparative legal and historical research methods. The information
base of the study is formed by official statistical data of penitentiary departments of the
researched countries, their valid penal legislation, and scientific works of Russian and foreign
authors on the researched issue. Peculiarities of the researched countries’ penal systems were
analyzed. Among such peculiarities we investigated: operators of prison systems, influence of
the federative form of state on penal system organization, separate positions of penal legislation,
etc. A wide range of aspects of convicts’ professional training was researched. Models of
convict labor organization of the studied countries were observed, analyzed and compared.
We defined the high level of legal regulation of the researched field of public relations in European
German-speaking federative countries and in the Russian Federation as well.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article concentrates on the analysis of the driving forces and processes in the Russian-German
relations which in many respects have been defining and accompanying the radical changes
in the dialogue between Moscow and Berlin since the spring of 2014. It reviews the state of their
bilateral relations in political and economic spheres in the “pre-crisis” period, reveals the specifics
of public and political discourse in Germany on Russia, the dynamic and quality of which
to a great extent defined the dramatic changes of German foreign policy on Russian matters.
Along with Russian and German information sources the article is based on the observations
and conclusions of the author, who worked in the Embassy of Russia in Berlin in 2012–2017, and
earlier worked in the “German” department of the Committee for External Relations of the Government
of Saint Petersburg. The article also covers several aspects of practical diplomatic work
devoted to the overcoming of crisis manifestations in Russian-German relations. It examines
well-established by 2014 and still-developing information and internal political prerequisites for
a significant “cooling” of German relations with Russia which was triggered by the events in
Ukraine. The article analyses the main trends in German public and political discussion on the
future of bilateral relations with Russia and their place and role in the international dimension
in general. It contains examples of practical diplomatic activities, which allowed the process of
rapid degradation of Russian-German dialogue to slow down significantly. Despite some progress
achieved in 2017–2018 the dialogue itself is still in a serious crisis.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In a conversation between Alexander Kyrlezhev and Andrey Shishkov, the issue
of primacy in the Church at various levels of its organization is discussed, both
from a theological (ecclesiological) and from a practical point of view. The theme
of primacy arose simultaneously in the context of inter-Orthodox relations during
preparations for the Pan-Orthodox Council and in the framework of the official
Orthodox-Catholic dialogue. In the course of the pre-conciliar process, the theme
of primacy in world Orthodoxy figured indirectly — as part of a discussion of the
status of the Orthodox diaspora, the proclamation of autocephaly, and diptychs. In
a dialogue with the Catholics, this topic was somehow connected with the primacy
of the Roman bishop. During the conversation various concepts of primacy are considered,
both among individual theologians (in particular, Alexander Schmemann
and Sofroniy Sakharov, Nikolay Afanasyev and Metropolitan John Zizioulas), and
in the official positions of the Orthodox Churches, especially the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Patriarchate of Moscow (the logic of the corresponding official
document of the Moscow Patriarchate, as well as the texts of Constantinople
theologians are described in detail). The concept of Eucharistic ecclesiology is critically
evaluated. Finally, contemporary theological problems regarding the understanding
of primacy in the Church are outlined, as well as areas for further research.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The study focused on the specialised tarsal setae of tarantulas Avicularia metallica
and Heteroscodra maculata, and the fibrous and non-fibrous material produced
by them. When irritated spiders moved along smooth, perpendicularlyoriented
glass walls not covered in silk, the claw tuft setae, located at the tips
of the tarsal segments, left behind footprints containing two types of fibrous
material. Using electron scanning microscopy, it was discovered that these represent
fragments of parallelly oriented bundles of hollow fibres forming the
shafts of the setae and their lateral branches (1), as well as clusters of contracted
nanofibrils which aggregated at the ends of these fibres (2). During climbing,
this fibrous material was detected both on the substratum on which the spiders
were moving, and also on their claw tuft setae. The climbing activity of irritated
tarantulas is also associated with the secretion of a fluid which dries on contact
with air. This secretion acts as an adhesive and facilitates the movement of tarantulas
on smooth surfaces, but while doing so it also glues together the distal,
lamellar parts of the groups of setae which are in contact with the substratum
during climbing. There are no such claw tuft setae morphological changes observed
in undisturbed tarantulas, moving freely around their tube-like shelters
and on the surfaces of objects covered with silk which they have produced. The
sources of the air-drying secretion are probably the tubular fibres forming the
shafts of pretarsal setae. The bundles of hollow fibres are an example of a system
that produces secretions via a surficial pathway. The spinnerets and silkproducing
glands associated with them, located in the opisthosoma, represent
a system that produces silk via a systemic pathway. However, the results of observational
studies have not confirmed the ability of tarantulas’ feet to produce
silk fibres of the same, or at least similar ultrastructure to that of the silk fibres
produced by the activity of spinnerets and spinneret-associated silk glands.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of both exogenous melatonin
and melatonin receptor antagonist luzindole on the activities of antioxidant enzymes
(AOE) (superoxide dismutase, SOD; catalase, CAT) and the level of lowmolecular
antioxidant vitamins (retinol, α-tocopherol) in male Wistar rats kept
in normal light conditions (LD 12:12) or constant darkness (DD). In LD, while
melatonin had no influence on the studied antioxidants, luzindole caused an increase
in retinol and a decrease in α-tocopherol contents in the liver compared
to the control. In DD, with no influence on AOE activities, both drugs exerted
similar effects on the liver retinol and kidney α-tocopherol contents, increasing
them in comparison with control. Exposing the animals to DD induced an increase
in kidney SOD activity and in liver retinol content. Moreover, DD-mel rats
had higher SOD activity in the liver and kidney and a higher retinol level in the
liver compared to LD-mel ones; DD-luz rats had a higher liver retinol content
compared to LD-luz ones. Liver retinol level seems to be the most sensitive to
influence of DD, melatonin and luzindole; the data are probably connected with
the involvement of vitamin A in the regulation of circadian rhythms.

of the V4 variable region of the 16S rRNA gene. All points of the chronosequence
were characterized by microbiomes reliably differing in taxonomic
composition. The older the dump, the higher the proportion of bacteria from
the phyla Actinobacteria (mostly representatives of the Solirubrobacteriaceae
family), Chloroflexi and Acidobacteria in the community. In 10-year-old dumps,
bacteria from the phyla Proteobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes and Bacteroides
prevailed. The most pronounced changes in the community structure at the
early and middle stages of microbiological succession were demonstrated by
bacteria from the genus Delftia, which may indicate their active role in the processes
of soil formation in this ecosystem.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In the genus Xanthomonas, specialists consider a significant number of species
and varieties (pathovars) of phytopathogenic bacteria that infect many agricultural
and ornamental plants (about 400 species), which leads to serious economic
losses. For the timely detection of these pathogens, accurate diagnosis is
necessary, allowing correct and prompt identification. Molecular genetic methods
are able to identify populations of Xanthomonas strains with a fairly complete
characterization of their hereditary material. The proposed method of
genotyping — double digest and selective label (DDSL) — is based on the use of
two restriction endonucleases for the separation of bacterial genomic DNA. The
DNA polymerase (Taq) present in the reaction mixture along with biotinylated
deoxycytosine triphosphate (Bio–dCTP) allows for the visualization of DNA fragments.
The tag only labels DNA fragments that have 3’-recessed ends formed
by the first enzyme (BcuI). The second restriction endonuclease (Eco147I) produces
blunt ends that are unable to incorporate the label. As a result, in the
DDSL reaction, 20–50 clearly distinguishable DNA fragments are visualized on
the filter. The number and distribution of fragments are characteristic for each
bacterial strain of the genus Xanthomonas. Genotyping these microorganisms
makes it possible to identify the specific profile of each strain, i.e., assign it a
sort of “bar code” for individual specification. The strains of bacteria of the genus
Xanthomonas, obtained from different species (tomato, radish, sorghum)
are genetically separated from each other, showing a specific pattern in terms
of the distribution of DNA fragments, despite the common geographical origin.
A comparatively rare case of the identity of strains, despite their geographical
and temporal unrelatedness and different cultures, has been recorded.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article explores the actively developing and little-investigated phenomenon of a modern
financial system termed “sustainable banking.” The relevance of the study is due to a number
of circumstances: first, awareness of the growing importance of sustainable (responsible) financing
as key driver of sustainable development for solving large-scale economic, social, and
environmental problems; second, the lack of a generally accepted holistic system of views on
sustainable banking, the content of relevant concepts, which indicates that its conceptualization
is incomplete; third, scholarly and public interest in foreign banks’ modern practices of
sustainable development, which opens up broad opportunities for Russian banks to use their
experience. This article determines the direction of sustainable banking, reveals the content
of its conceptualization, and identifies features of the formation of this phenomenon in Russia.
By sustainable banking, the authors understand processes of theoretical comprehension
and generalization of the practice of banks that declare a commitment to ideas of sustainable development, leading to the formation of ideas about this phenomenon and formation of a
relevant system of concepts. The article describes current approaches to sustainable banking;
shows the most important international initiatives for incorporating ideas and principles of
sustainable development into activities of financial institutions, as well as practical steps taken
by various financial institutions (development banks, traditional banks and so-called nontraditional
banks, known as sustainable banks) for integrating principles of sustainable development
into strategies and bank operations. The authors conclude that this integration and
the development of sustainable banks allows us to speak of the formation of a special business
model of responsible business conduct — a sustainable banking model. A separate section is
devoted to an analysis of the situation in the area in question and identification of measures to
enhance the role of banks in ensuring responsible financing in Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The book of memoirs of Lu Xun “Dawn blossoms plucked at dusk” (1928) traditionally has
been considered by the Russian and foreign researchers as the most important source of biographic
material about the writer. However, due to its seemingly fragmentary nature and inconsistency
it not always corresponds to the autobiography as a literary genre. The purpose
of this paper is to show and prove that ten parts of the collection represent not fragments of
memoirs, but the integral and interconnected text corresponding to contemporary conceptions
(even ambiguous) of an autobiography genre. The book has been examined at the levels
of plot, composition and narration. Basing on cross-disciplinary approach to the material,
authors of the paper conclude that Lu Xun managed to create the writing where the narrative
discourse of the autobiography, connecting to an artistic mode of lyrical prose, creates a special
type of unity of fiction and documentary. The “Dawn blossoms plucked at dusk”, written
earlier than autobiographies of Guo Moro (1928), Li Ji (1930), Hu Shi (1933), not only designated
a pathway for the development of this genre in China, but also mainly predetermined
interest to it both in the first, and in the second half of the twentieth century.

value:
Social media influencers have emerged on social networks over the past few decades. It is
significant that they have increased and now play a crucial role in shaping the process of consumer
decision-making. This research aims to understand and investigate how customers react
and how influencers shape their approaches in order to achieve the demands and needs of their
followers. The methodology adopted is both quantitative and qualitative. Key findings reveal that
influencers have an impact through their recommendations in the followers’ purchase intention
process. Additionally, the research indicates that the trust driven by influencers is increasingly
questioned by followers who feel “unauthenticity” and believe their influence can lead to our
society’s becoming “standardized”. This research that includes two methods is useful as we have
analyzed the relationship between followers and influencers. Even though the influencers phenomena
are quite recent, this research is valuable for firms as it clearly demonstrates how and
why influencers impact consumers’ behavior. It can also inform society about this current trend
and how it could influence the consumers’ decision-making process.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article studies the biblical phraseological units, which are used in the modern Russian language,
and the peculiarities of their translation into the Hindi language. The author analyzes
the ways of translating phraseological units in general and phraseological units of biblical
origin in particular. The article explores several methods of translation: phraseological translation
and non-phraseological translation. The first method includes the following techniques of translation: 1) phraseological equivalent; 2) phraseological analogue. The second method
includes: 1) lexical translation; 2) calquing; 3) descriptive translation. The author analyzes
examples of translation of phraseological units using various translation techniques. Statistics
of different methods and techniques of translation of biblical phraseological units from Russian
into Hindi is also presented in the article. The author discusses difficulties in the process
of translating phraseological units from one language to another and some of the common
difficulties in translation of biblical phraseological units are false friends of the translator,
ambiguity of phraseological units, obsolete words, the problem of choosing the appropriate
equivalent, etc. The author opines that in order to successfully and adequately translate biblical
phraseological units from Russian into any other language, a translator and a teacher of
Russian literature or Russian as a foreign language has to be acquainted with biblical literature,
biblical legends and the translator must have knowledge of stylistics and phraseology of source
language as well as of target language. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that
this research material can be used in teaching modern Russian language and literature in the
Indian classrooms where Russian is taught as foreign language. The corresponding translation
of biblical phraseological units of Russian into Hindi will help Indian students to understand
the meaning of biblical phrases easily and adequately.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article is devoted to issues related to the study of the current practice of the Internet transformation
in terms of its technological evolution. The paper shows that at the present stage of
development of the digital space, global actors are functioning and operating in hybrid modes,
and attempting to establish total control over information and communication flows in the online
environment. The diversity of relationships of this kind of actors forms the current practice of informational
confrontation in the political sphere, characterized by the growing implementation of
mass consciousness manipulation technologies on the Internet based on collecting confidential
user data and analyzing their “digital traces”. The article analyzes not only traditional state actors
but also such modern actors as large IT corporations, as well as terrorist organizations. Under the
conditions of competition for dominance in the public digital space and the possibility of obtaining
direct communication access to online users such structures ignore the presence of sovereign
national segments of the Internet, carrying out an extraterritorial intrusion into national information
systems, which creates new types of threats to national security in a highly diverse competitive
relationship in the digital environment for the right to dominate in the information and communication
sphere. The paper concludes that at the present stage of the technological evolution of the
Internet space there are severe risks of forming a system of global control and manipulative dominance
on the part of the actors of the “hybrid” type pursuing different interests, which can directly
affect the transformation of traditional formats of information and communication confrontation
in the global policy space.

humanities and cultural anthropology makes it easy to see the limitation of such attempts and
to establish some of their initial attitudes, reproduced by default. When these attitudes remain
ignored, mystical historicism not only is reproduced in this or that form again and again, but
also naturally finds admirers. In particular, we consider the idea of “the universal myth” which
for a long time was an attractive reference point for anthropology and for other humanities. Modern anthropological theories (for example, M. Godelye), see in such construction of the
universal myth the reproduction of old speculative idealism in new forms of ethnology and
psychoanalysis. As the current state of domestic culture is characterized by deviations from
scientific and philosophical historicism (various versions of folk history, “new chronology” of
A. Fomenko, conspiracy theories, etc.), analysis of sources of Russian mystical historicism acquires
natural relevance. A conclusion is made about the need to study Russian historiosophical
mysticism for deeper understanding of the principle of historicism and of peculiarities of
its perception in Russia.

dc.description.abstract

value:
In this article we consider the third attempt of modernizing Russia, or Stalin modernization.
Along with previous attempts, Stalin modernization had the character of a “revolution from
above”. As it defined the creation of a society of socialism, the critical evaluation of the historical
experience of Stalin modernization, including all its negative and positive aspects, is
very important for modern studies of man and society. In the end, the existing evaluations of
Stalin modernization depend on the relationship to the Soviet experience of creating a socialist
society in the USSR. The first characteristic feature of Stalin modernization is the fact that,
along with previous modernization attempts, it was “overtaking modernization”. The fact that
all attempts of modernization in Russia were kinds of “revolution from above” predetermined
the inverse sequence of transformations: initiatives of the ruling class were not the answer
to the needs of civil society; on the contrary, these initiatives were directed towards regulating
the development of civil society and its requirements. Marxist rhetoric, which served as
ideological support for Stalin modernization, should not mislead when Stalin transformations
are presented as unique, not having analogs in the history. Stalin modernization was strongly
connected with preparation for war, and if this preparation concealed the ultimate goals of
transformation (“creation of socialism in a separately taken country” in Marxist terminology),
then at that time it was quite justified, as there was a possibility of the disappearance of both
the subject and object of modernization. Incomplete Stalin modernization led to the death of the political system which it had also created, and to the death of the state which was given rise
to by the requirements of modernization.

Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Philosophy and Conflict Studies, 2019, vol. 35, issue 3, pp. 528–540.

dc.description.abstract

value: This article is aimed at reviewing the documents and artifacts collections of the prominent Russian specialist in Caucasian studies Evgeniy Mikhailovich Shilling (1892–1953) that are currently stored in the State Museum of the History of Religion. The scientific heritage of Shilling has repeatedly been the subject of scientific research, and a number of articles have been written about Shilling’s cooperation with the Central Museum of Ethnography, as well as his pedagogical work at the Department of Ethnography of the Moscow State University, expeditionary work in the Caucasus in the 1940s, and the materials collected in the field works that are stored in the Russian Museum of Ethnography and the Kunstkamera. However, Shilling’s cooperation with the Central Anti-Religious Museum in Moscow was not under discussion until now. Drawing from documentary sources (The Report on the Caucasus Expedition (1938), typewriting of the unpublished article “Eastern Caucasus Amulets”, Expedition Diary, 1934) this article fills this gap. As part of the study, three archive folders were identified which belonged to Shilling and contain his expedition materials commissioned by the Central Anti- Religious Museum. Crucially, all of them elucidate his field work in the Caucasus region in the 1930s. Contrary to his Caucasus expedition in the 1940s, this period was not previously studied in depth. The article examines that in spite of the seemingly fragmentary and random character of materials, these three folders form a holistic data base on the dynamics of religion in the Caucasus region in 1929–1940.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The authors discuss the features of protests in Kazakhstan and identify their factors and causes.
The analysis of the content of the sociological surveys, the posts on the social networks,
the web sides and blogs of Kazakhstan’s top officials enabled the authors to establish the issues
of social and economic nature that are the most probable triggers of protests. The authors
conceptualize their root causes as a discrepancy between the articulated goals of modernization
and poor performance of the public administration responsible for their implementation.
The authors’ analysis goes beyond the changes of protest behavior and includes the responses
of the state organs and the role of the Internet. Further, the article provides a typology of the
protests occurred in Kazakhstan and deals with their scale and scope. The article also touches
upon the means employed by the state to diffuse social tensions and the respective role of civil
society institutions, which is argued to be insufficient. The authors conclude that the protests
in Kazakhstan are spatially and topically limited, as is their destructive potential. Kazakhstan
shall not anticipate massive protest actions due to the impact of the currently implemented
social and economic reforms, commitment of the majority of its citizens to maintenance of
political stability and their fear of possible destructive consequences, as well as the lack of any
organized political force capable of transforming public discontent into political actions and
underdevelopment of civil society.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article examines the nature of competition regulation. Using the reproduction approach,
the author reveals the internal nature of reasons for regulating competition, which is caused
by inconsistencies in relationships within competition itself. Regulation of competition is the
inevitable result of its developmental process: the transition from free to regulated competition
results from the resolution of contradictions inherent in competition. Strengthening the
regulatory components of competition is an evolutionary pattern, caused by the growth of
integration processes in the economy, and by the intensification of the destructive effects of
competition. Specific attention is paid to the evolution of the regulatory component of competition
and forms of its manifestation. The author shows that the content of a competitive
attitude is transformed in towards changing the principle of competitive rivalry, as expressed
in the transition from an uncompromising struggle to its competitive forms that do not imply
a vital outcome of the struggle. As a result, regulating competition becomes increasingly
susceptible to internal factors. Therefore, in parallel with strengthening external measures of
influence, there is an increasing trend towards self-regulation. The author interprets this as the
basis for the transition to a new form of competition in the future — competitive competition,
which is a form of rivalry based on voluntary restriction of egoistic claims and establishing
partnerships between rivals for the sake of enhancing joint competitiveness.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Innovations are becoming critical for the sustainable development of the Russian Federation.
Most of the research on innovation policy is concerned with the national level, but neglects some
of the essential regional-scale factors. Th e main goal of the study was to explore institutional factors
that stimulate innovation processes at the regional level. Th e paper substantiates the hypothesis
that in modern Russian conditions it is possible to implement regional innovation policies
that diff er in a set of unique institutional conditions and allow regions to compete for resources
(investments, innovations, human capital, and others). Within the framework of this study, the
main characteristics, stages of evolution and SWOT-analysis of the innovation system of one of
the leading regions in innovation development in the RF, the Republic of Tatarstan, are highlighted.
A special attention is paid to the analysis of changes in the regional innovation policy in
2005–2019 and identifi cation of risks associated with its implementation. Th e main conclusion
of the study is the idea that subnational institutions, which use indirect (soft ) tools to stimulate innovation activity, to a signifi cant extent, form the innovative environment and become decisive
in interregional competition. In our opinion, during the analyzed period such institutional
innovations were essential for the Republic of Tatarstan. Among the key factors for the successful
development of innovative processes in the Russian regions is the important role played by
coordinated government action at all levels and eff ectiveness of dialogue between government
and business.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The problem of supply chain coordination can be solved by applying coordination mechanisms
aimed at motivating supply chain partners for concerted actions leading to the improvement
of the supply chain performance, taking into account the partners’ individual interests. One
of such mechanisms is coordinating contracts. In this paper the authors consider a solution to
the coordination problem using a sales-rebate contract for the supply chain, consisting of a supplier
and a retailer, assuming that the demand is stochastic and the product retail price is fixed.
A rebate is a reward that a supplier pays to a retailer for each unit of a product sold over a sales
threshold specified. The sales-rebate contract aims to motivate the retailer to sell more and thus
earn a rebate per unit sold. This type of contract is actively used in the interaction between the manufacturer and retailer. The authors proposed a mathematical formulation of the supply chain
coordination problem, formalized the process of the sales-rebate contract conclusion as a threestep
game of two players, and formulated the definition of a coordinating contract. The article
presents the developed algorithm for constructing a coordinating sales-rebate contract in supply
chains, both for the general case and for the case when the contract parameters are additionally
restricted. It has been proven that a sales-rebate contract is not coordinating without additional
restrictions on the contract parameters. The algorithm proposed is implemented in the case of
the Hong Kong supply chain, consisting of a manufacturer and retailer of children’s clothes.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article addresses a long-held dispute across social science disciplines: that market and
moral economies are distinctly different and even contradictory. This debate was never resolved,
and was also problematic, as both sides did not address either competing claims, not
empirical reality, with sufficient rigor and care. I suggest revisiting the original Scott-Popkin
debate afresh, while exploring whether moral and market economy explanations are complementary,
rather than contradictory. I posit that market and moral economies, as phenomena,
are intertwined, and that a proper approach treats both framing (norms) and decisions (calculation)
as embedded in fields. Actors have historically articulated moral economies of norms
as well as interests, thus underpinning market and other economies. The author posits three
possibilities for a future framework of moral economy: moral economies as transformative;
moral economies as anchored in concrete entities, rather than as free-floating norms; and
moral economies as multiple, embedded in field contexts. Using these approaches to moral
economy, I give brief examples of economic transformations that involved not only interests
and markets, but also moral claims.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article examines changes in the spatial structure of the population in border regions of
Finland and Russia along the Finnish-Russian and Finnish-Swedish borders in 1970–2016.
The influence of external shocks (such as Russia’s economic reforms, liberalization of the border
regime, and Finland’s accession to the EU) is analyzed. The article then identifies patterns
of change in the population of territorial units, depending on their geographic location. Statistical
models linking the dynamics of the population of territorial units and their location show
that only since the early 1990s, i.e. during and after the aforementioned shocks, did population
dynamics start to depend on distance to the regional capital and so-called “active zones.” On
the Russian side, a few border municipalities were identified as active zones — they participate
actively in cross-border cooperation and have developed transport and customs infrastructure,
including international border crossing points. On the Finnish side, active zones
include cities with strong regional universities generating and disseminating innovations.
Cooperation of Finnish eastern border subregions with the Russian Federation has not had a
significant impact. In contrast, some Finnish western coastal regions with small universities
benefit more tangibly from their cooperation with Sweden. This collaboration increases their
innovation potential. The results of the study could be useful for public bodies in charge of the
development of border and peripheral regions.

The article begins with a concise description of the genre, period, and classical Persian texts
covered by the announced book series of three books: 1) Amir Mu‘izzi Nishapuri. The Siyasatnama/
Siyar al-muluk: A Fabrication Ascribed to Nizam al-Mulk — this text is still being published
and reprinted under the authorship of Nizam al-Mulk, an outstanding Prime Minister
of the Saljuqids. However, the results of historical, codicological and textual analyzes show that
the text was compiled by Muhammad Mu‘izzi Nishapuri, the head of poets department under
the Saljuqid rulers Malik-shah and his son Sanjar, and then attributed by him to the dead
Nizam al-Mulk with completely definite goals; 2) The Writings of Imam al-Ghazali is a book
that includes six texts. Three of them are authentic: a student manual entitled by the author
as the Zad-i Akhirat (Provisions for the Hereafter); an authentic part of al-Ghazali’s epistle to
Sultan Sanjar entitled the Nasihat al-muluk (Counsel for Kings) and a medieval collection of
letters addressed by the Imam to various recipients and entitled the Fada’il al-anam min rasa’il
Hujjat al-Islam (The Virtues of People [drawn] from the Epistles of the Proof of Islam). The
remaining three texts are fabrications; 3) Kay Kawus b. Iskandar b. Qabus. Qabus-nama (The
Book of Qabus) and Nizami ‘Aruzi Samarqandi. Chahar maqala/Majma‘ al-nawadir (Four
Discourses/The Miscellany of rarities) is a book that includes two authentic texts. After this,
the article touches upon the problem of existence of literary and physical forgeries in medieval
Islamic literature, their categories and methods of their identification.

Representatives of the cyanobacteria division dominated in the biotope studied.
Almost all species belong to benthic forms, which corresponds well with
the nature and origin of the biotopes. Differences in the composition of algocoenoses
which developed on ornithogenic, mineral or anthropogenically polluted
substrates were noted and characterized. The features of participation of
different morphological types of algae in the process of organic mat formation
have been emphasized. The biotopes of polar station surroundings were characterized
by the dominance of cyanobacteria. Endemic species were not found.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article reconsiders various notions and conceptions of historical anthropology as means
of enhancing our knowledge and understanding of social and cultural processes. The author
pays attention to a very complex problem — interrelationship between History and Anthropology.
What is Historical Anthropology? Where is its place among other historical disciplines?
Why it is so important? What about its possibilities and possible drawbacks, at the
same time? The article poses these and some other important questions to the scholars and
suggests answers. A careful attention is devoted to Anthropology within post socialist Eurasia,
and to some post-colonial legacy on this territory. Different ways of conducting historical-anthropological
studies are explored in order to determine which perspectives may be applied to
Eurasia. The approaches discussed include ethnohistorical research, studies of transformation
and persistence of social organization and cultural identity, interethnic relations, and relations
between ethnic minorities and the state. The author examines the peculiarities of continental
colonialism and its difference from other forms. With respect to methodological and theoretical
implications inherent in the interdisciplinary relationship between history and anthropology,
a concise outline of research carried out by Max Planck Institute focus group is given. A
framework is thus provided for discussing arguments that concentrate on the need to establish
a new format of (post-) colonial studies adjusted to the peculiarities of this macro-region,
which entails a close cooperation between ethnologists from Russia, the Commonwealth of
Independent States, and China, where both disciplines have gained new significance in recent
years.

dc.description.abstract

value: In the first half of the 19th century peasant “unrest” was rare, small, spontaneous and unorganized; the participants did not put forward political demands, did not oppose the supreme power and the existing socio-economic system. The available statistics of the peasant movement were constructed in Soviet historiography methodologically incorrectly and was misinterpreted, in view of ideological motivation. In these statistics, various types of complaints and petitions were considered to be equal among themselves and at the same time equal to other forms of “protest” : escapes; unauthorized felling of forests; seizure of landlords’ livestock and land; refusal to pay the rent and to bear corvée; resistance to the landowner, the authorities or military punitive expedition; and even direct rebellion — these all forms were taken as a unit of account, called “unrest,” and were evaluated as manifestations of class struggle. Nowadays, such interpretations should be considered arbitrary, contrived, strained, sometimes ridiculous and strongly bearing the stamp of presentism. However, in fact, the statistics of “unrest” constructed in Soviet historiography is still widely used in researches, textbooks and folk history on the Internet. The method of assessing the strength of the peasant movement does not meet scholarly criteria. The researchers could not agree on what to take as a unit of social protest, and used as such, at their discretion, “rest”, “village”, “county/province”, “number of participants”, sometimes all at once. As a result, an insurmountable obstacle arose in the way of summarizing the data, which, despite this, was carried out.

dc.description.abstract

value:
Recently the European Higher education systems and their governance have undergone considerable
changes. Domestic Higher Education institutions have been subjected to competing
visions of how Higher Education systems and their institutions should be governed. The shift
to so called soft governance mechanisms at the European level was unleashed and intensified
by the Bologna and to some degree by the Lisbon strategies. Also, both strategies prompted
national governments to engage in proactive reforms. This article aims to provide a suggestive
analysis of such changes in Higher Education governance in the two Western European
countries: Great Britain and France. By focusing on the reform trajectories of Higher Education
systems in both countries over the three past decades, the authors examine the interplay
between governance mechanisms and historically embedded institutions of Higher Education,
and ways of their survival or partial decline in the changed circumstances. Examining
different types of public Higher Education institutions, the authors look upon the Bologna
process as the policy area, which has not only reconfigured institutions of governance and
reshaped the allocation of autonomy between the state and university management but also
changed identity of both professorial and administrative bodies of Higher Education institutions.
The analysis also focuses on relationship between the state and Higher Education institutions
and patterns of governance within universities before and after the Bologna reforms.
The mentioned features provide the basis for complex understanding of national peculiarities
and uniqueness of Higher Education systems.

value:
The article analyzes publications and archive materials pertaining to gold mining in the context
of the development of the Soviet gold industry in the 1920s — early 1950s, and demonstrates
the significance of gold as a factor of the state policy. The author highlights the stages of development
of the Soviet gold industry: the period of 1923–1930 was characterized by exclusive
benefits provided to gold industry enterprises, and permissible private capital; the period of
1931–1945 was associated with the existence of ordinary and extraordinary sectors expressed
in the activities of the two major organizations — Glavzoloto/Glavspetsmet and Dalstroy; in
1946–1953, the entire gold industry of the country was functioning under the jurisdiction of
the Soviet Interior Ministry on the basis of labor mobilization of convicts. Gold was mostly
produced by two entities: Glavzoloto/Glavspetsmet and Dalstroy mined 2,029.4 tonnes of gold
in 1931–1950, including 1,116.2 tonnes (approximately 55 %) produced by Glavzoloto, and
913.2 tonnes (roughly 45 %) by Dalstroy. Gold was one of the few commodities which was
always in demand on the global market and used in case of national emergencies and crises to
correct foreign trade deficit, to guarantee foreign loans, and to procure goods which the Soviet
Union was either unable to make or could not afford the cost of their production. The development
of the Soviet gold industry was not determined by the estimation of loss and revenue;
it was effected by the decisions made by the national governments in the late 1920s — early
1930s based on the belief in the absolute significance of gold for the functioning of Western
economies.

The program of empirical research included dynamic assessment (before and after surgery) using clinical, instrumental, psychological and psychometric methods of objective indicators of the functional state and quality of life of patients with tumors of the pelvis (90 people) and spine (180 people) and their relationship with the individual and socio-psychological characteristics of patients. The program of five focus groups aimed at identifying the needs of patients in psychological support in the preoperative, early and late postoperative periods is presented. On the model of a pilot dynamic study of 28 patients with spine metastases, a significant improvement was revealed in both the general functional state of patients, general health satisfaction and parameters of quality of life (associated with emotional state and neurological symptoms) in the postoperative period compared with preoperative; this shows the importance of such studies to objectify the results of treatment and determine the main directions of psychological care to patients. We conclude that the program of interdisciplinary research—developed by psychologists of St. Petersburg State University and physicians of N. N. Blokhin Cancer Research Center—on patients with oncoortopedic pathology who underwent high-tech surgical treatment can serve as a basis for the development of similar comprehensive research programs in various fields of modern medicine.

value:
This article deals with the subject characteristics of the personal life course of people with
different levels of social intelligence. The social intelligence and subjective characteristics of
individuals’ life course (life orientations, subjective picture of life course, life course strategies)
are studied. The sample group was composed of external students of the Herzen State Pedagogical
University of Russia aged 19–48 (n = 73; μ = 26.18; σ = 6.93; male — 25, female — 48).
Research methods included different tests and questionnaires measuring the degree of manifestation
of various aspects of social intelligence (Tromso Social Intelligence Scale, TSIS, Silvera
D. H., Martinussen M. & Dahl T. I., translated by V. Y. Semenov, edited by A. A. Alekseev);
Guilford’s Test of Social intelligence; the method called “Diagnostics of the level of development
of abilities for an adequate interpretation of nonverbal behavior” (V. A. Labunskaya);
the author’s questionnaire “The significance of social intelligence in a person’s life trajectory”
(V. V. Shevelev). For the diagnosis of the subject characteristics of a person’s life course, we selected
the following methods: “Questionnaire of subject-object orientations in life situations”
(E. Yu. Korjova); methods “Psychological Autobiography” (E. Yu. Korjova) and “The indicator
of coping strategies” (adapted by D. Amirkhan). In addition, we researched the most important
psychometric characteristics of the psychological tests used. In particular there were
some unsatisfactory psychometric characteristics discovered in J. P. Guilford’s Test of Social
Intelligence and V. A. Labunskaya’s test to diagnose ability to perceive non-verbal human behavior.
Using the EFA, a three-factor structure of social intelligence was found. It was shown
that these factors have different correlations with subjective characteristics of personal life
courses depending on the individual’s level of social intelligence.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article will examine the role of memory within the context of Confederate monuments
commemorating southern soldiers and civilians in the American Civil War, and the impact
of those monuments on memory. According to John Shelton Reed, of the Center for Study of
the American South at the University of North Carolina, after the Civil War and in the interest
of reconciliation, the United States entered into an unspoken agreement to allow southerners,
and others to celebrate and remember those who sacrificed for the Confederacy. This agreement
allowed for the celebration of the symbols of the ante-bellum South and the Confederacy,
including the support of the Confederate flag, Confederate songs, and erection of monuments,
primarily in the South but also in the northern regions of the country. I will argue that
recent events in the United States, such as Dylan Roof ’s 2015 massacre of African Americans
in a Charlestown, South Carolina church, the “Black Lives” movement, and the “Unite the
Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017, have contributed to a break-down of this unspoken
agreement. Although most Americans support keeping the Confederate monuments
in place, there is not enough strong widespread public opposition to their removal. This suggests
a disintegration of the unspoken agreement regarding reintegration between the federal
government and the southern people, which is primarily due to a more thorough integration
of the South into mainstream American economy, culture and politics.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article is devoted to the review of contemporary WWI Macedonian historiography. The
territories of the contemporary Macedonian state were a battlefield for armies of the Entente
and the Central Powers during WWI. Those lands were important for the opponents.
Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece fought against Turkey to capture Macedonia and also between
themselves the year before WWI. It was the Macedonian lands that became the main reason
Bulgaria joined the Central Powers in 1915. And by 1918, the situation in the Balkans was
very seriously changed. Contemporary WWI Macedonian historiography is basically divided
into two groups. It is close to the political divide of Macedonian society (there are two parties:
the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization — Democratic Party for Macedonian
National Unity (VMRO-DPMNE)- central-right and the Social Democratic Union of
Macedonia — central-left). In historiography, one group adheres to the pro-Bulgarian views
(they generally vote for VMRO-DPMNE), while the other is pro-Serbian (and they vote for
left-wing politics). There are also representatives of ethnic minorities (Albanian and Turkey)
of the Republic of Macedonia. They are interested in their nations’ destiny during WWI. The image of WWI is the image of a great tragedy for a small nation-victim that ended up in the
grindstone of history. The Macedonian land was a brutal war arena and was under foreign occupation,
and of course civilians were seriously affected by the war, both by the actual fighting,
and the subsequent consequences.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The 20th century began under the sign of deconstruction of the classical comprehension of
substantiality of history, culture and mind. It turned out that each culture has its unique worldview
universals and a conclusion has been made that there is a principal difference between
classical and modern cultural worlds, and in the rationalities characteristic to them. In the
article, based on V. Stepin’s conception of scientific rationality, the essential characteristics of
the classical mind, which possess heuristic potentials when comparing pre-modern and modern
rationality, are explicated. In particular, the ontologism of the pre-modern mind has been
distinguished and substantiated based on historical and philosophical material — rootedness
in being, only partially related to man; its hierarchy is the dependence of cognitive possibilities
on the ontological level of the entities opening to the mind; and the transcendence is the
fundamental incomprehensibility of the bases and “guarantors” of the mind and the world for
the mind itself. Within the framework of the classical mind, archetypical principles of Western
rationality were formulated as such, some of which, after the secularization of medieval
culture, became the principle of organizing secular social reality, which ultimately led to the
emergence of a new social reality, later called Modernism.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This article critically re-evaluates certain blind spots in the debate on the possibility of a
cosmopolitan political community. It does so by addressing certain key areas where, in my
view, remaining conceptual misunderstandings prevent a full articulation of the conflicting
positions. In particular, I concentrate on the ontological differences between liberalism and
poststructuralism which, as long as they are not laid plain, distort the exchange of ideas on
the nature of the political and on the issues of identity, recognition and exclusion. I contend
that in poststructuralist ontology antagonism remains the only force that can constitute
an inside-outside boundary and thus establish an identity. Hence, one needs to agree with
Sergei Prozorov when he insists that cosmopolitan politics can only be post-identitarian.
I then analyse the differences between the two visions of generic post-identitarian politics
identified by Prozorov — those of Alain Badiou and Giorgio Agamben. This analysis helps
to highlight the thesis that even if we can conceive of a truly generic community that is not
grounded in any identity and therefore does not presuppose external othering as a constitutive
practice, we might still need antagonistic politics as the only means to make this community
possible.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article explores the presentation methods of a philosophical doctrine in Greek and Roman
Epicureanism; it is shown that for the ancient, middle, and Roman Epicureans a controversy
with representatives of other philosophical schools was a typical way of presenting
their own views. The polemical practice, in which the basic principles of Epicureanism
were expounded through the criticism of other philosophical systems, first of all, Academics
and Stoics, was considered not only as the preferred way of presenting the own doctrine,
but also as the most convenient rhetorical device, which had, among other things, didactic
significance. The founder of the school, Epicurus, often included in his texts the terms
used in other philosophical schools, giving them a different, often opposite, content. While
presenting his teaching in the treatise “On Nature” or in letters to his followers, Epicurus
pushed off the opinions of Democritus, Plato, and the Stoics, but resorted mainly to implicit
criticism of his opponents, often without naming them by name. His closest students and
later followers — Metrodorus, Hermarchus, Colotes, Philodemus, Lucretius, Diogenes of
Oenoanda — continuing the controversy with the Academics and the Stoics, more frankly
expressed their indignation about the “falsely understood Epicureanism” or erroneous
opinions. In their writings, satirical techniques and angry denunciations were often used to
criticize opponents. The focus of the article is on the controversy of Epicurus with Plato; the
interpretation of the concept of “anticipation” in Epicurus and the Stoics, the polemic controversies
and the use of the principle of “refraining from judgment”, drawn from the Stoics,
to criticize Academics. In addition, the article analyzes the rhetorical tricks of Philodemus,
who believed that frank speech is not only the best way to heal the soul, but also a method
of philosophical controversy.

dc.description.abstract

value:
This paper deals with Fichte’s Grundzüge, and in particular with his discussion of the “empty
form of knowledge” he claims stands at the centre of the third — i.e., the present — age. Fichte
speaks of a fundamental principle that forms the “common denominator” between the third
and fourth main epochs. This fundamental principle — the “maxim of comprehensibility”
(Maxime der Begreiflichkeit) — makes knowledge and comprehension the measure of all that
“counts as being valid and as really existing”. But the question arises: How can one and the
same principle act as the “unifying concept” for two different “main epochs of human life”?
Does this not go directly against Fichte’s claim that two main epochs differ from each other in
every respect, precisely because they produce two entirely different “unifying principles”, and
because everything in them must reflect the difference between their “unifying principles”?
Fichte’s answer to this question is as follows: a) the fundamental maxim in question allows for
two diametrically opposed interpretations, so that each of them provides the principle or the
“unifying concept” from which the third and fourth main epochs arise, and b) the third main
epoch only gives rise to the empty form of science, as opposed to “truly real science”: it stands
for a careless and easy-going, shallow, conventional, trivializing and incorrect conception of
the “fundamental maxim of comprehensibility” — so that it misses what is essential, does not
do justice to the fundamental maxim, overlooks its implications, and indeed goes against its
innermost meaning.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article deals with the question of the ideological content of Plato’s “minor” dialogues and
their significance for understanding Plato’s philosophy. The author sees his goal in showing
that the traditionally low assessment of these works by Plato is unfair. Thus, the article provides
analysis of the “minor” dialogues in terms of their role in the implementation of Plato’s
educational strategies. Plato is affirmed never to separate the problems of philosophy and education
because philosophy itself was understood by Plato as the education of the soul. The article
proposes to consider “Minor Plato’s” dialogues as part of the Corpus Platonicum regardless
of the solution to chronology and authenticity problems, since these dialogues in one way or
another belong to the heritage of the Academy. The article analyzes two dialogues, Clitophon
and Theages which are still little studied in Russian literature. The connections between the
considered dialogues and the great works of Plato — Republic, Symposium, and Theaetetus —
are revealed. The author comes to the conclusion that the relationship between these dialogues
should be viewed as a “challenge-response” relationship in which the dialogues’ back-andforth
occurs. It has been established that not only do Plato’s major dialogues contain answers
to questions posed in Minor Plato’s dialogues, but, conversely, Clitophon and Theages become
keys to understanding Symposium and Theaetetus. The article proves that Plato made this
dialogues back-and-forth in order to achieve better understanding of his philosophical ideas
by students.

value:
The article examines factors influencing the choice of exchange platform used by the management
of innovation-oriented companies, such as depth, accessibility, efficiency, and stability,
as well as the level of underestimation of the shares of new issuers during an IPO. The authors
formulate a series of hypotheses and show that the level of the depth of a site is directly
dependent on the degree of development of the country's financial institutions for all types
of sites (main and alternative), and on the level of trading intensity (but only for alternative
ones). It was discovered that alternative sites of countries belonging to the Anglo-Saxon financial
system are, on average, less concentrated than corresponding major exchange sectors.
Regarding the underestimation of shares, it was shown that on the first day of trading, this is
higher among Russian companies in the high-tech industry. A site selection algorithm is proposed
that can be applied by managers of Russian innovation-oriented companies for making
IPO decisions. This algorithm combines previously analyzed quantitative factors and a number
of qualitative factors, which include the level of marketing and organizational support for
new issuers, level of financial support for new issuers, and degree of company readiness to
place shares on a specific site. The advantage is to take into account a wider set of factors that
influence the decision to choose a site for an IPO of an innovation-oriented company and to
consider opportunities offered by alternative stock exchanges for such issuers.

The article analyzes a relatively new phenomenon of the digital economy — HR bots. Th e author
outlines that in scientifi c literature there is no clear definition what HR bots are, what are their
specifi c features are, and what their impact on the effectiveness of human resource management
is. Th e objectives of the article are to defi ne the concept of an “HR bot”, identify its types and
functions in the human resource management, and consider the challenges that HR departments
face regarding the implementation of HR bots. Th e article consists of three sections. In the first
section the author discusses a more general concept of a “bot”, describes the type and directions
of using bots. The second section relates to a detailed consideration of HR bots, their types and
functions in human resource management. In the third section basing on the research available
in the fi eld and experts’ opinion the author characterizes HR bots’ capabilities in improving the
effi ciency of human resource management and the challenges that HR departments face when
implementing HR bots. The key findings of the article are: the concept of an HR bot is clarified;
the typology of HR bots is carried out; the scope of HR bot application is systematized, as well as
their strengths and weaknesses, and prospects for further research in the field are identified. The
article systematizes the diverse knowledge on bots and HR bots, therefore it can be useful both to
researchers and practitioners in the field of human resource management.

dc.description.abstract

value:
The article is devoted to the study of public diplomacy and its role in modern politics. Public
diplomacy is analyzed as a form of public policy, which becomes relevant when the boundaries
between the macropolitical (national) and the megapolitical (transnational) discourses
are demolished. The emerging political meaning for public diplomacy is based among others
upon the crisis of the democratic model, and one of the implications of the latter is the phenomenon
of post-truth, accompanied with diverse and multidirectional information streams,
resulting in different worldview frames of references with varying agendas. Public diplomacy
as, on the one hand, a set of tools for public involvement, and on the other hand, a mechanism
for the international dialogue comes to be a productive form not only for political relations with
different countries, but also for reproducing state activity as an institution to deal with both
civil society inside and other states and non-state actors outside the country. The explosive
growth of communication tools, which under the present-day conditions are easily turned into
transnational forms, encourage the steady development of public diplomacy as a specific
field for global dialogue, one of the most important direction for strategic communications,
in a sense, an independent sphere of public interaction. While undermining the monopoly of
the state on the external relations and reducing its institutional stability, public diplomacy at
the same time discovers some new lacunas for applying public policy, for new approaches
to cohering interests of government and people, to generating public policy in general. Antiestablishment
sentiment as well as reposting the populist agenda, which is a good example of
the timely global political trend, at the same time, allow societies all over the world to reflect on the respective national practices, which might be also considered as an additional effect
of the public diplomacy discourse.

Using mathematical modelling methods, we investigate the collective’s ability to achieve results
which are Pareto-dominant over Nash equilibrium. Egoistic urges of the members of the collective,
under the law of diminishing returns, give rise to the free-rider problem. Cooperation
among agents in an environment where some individuals are characterised by opportunistic
tendencies is impaired within a large group due to deficit of trust, yet it is possible within
a small group (a coalition) based on interpersonal trust. By deploying a coalitional strategy
aimed at maximizing coalitional gains, each individual member of the large group increases their
gain. To attain a stable coalition, an agreement must be formed among agents implying adherence
to conditions of individual rationality by all members of the collective and compatibility
stimuli for all members of the coalition. We further set down the content of such an agreement
and calculate side payments that guarantee adherence to conditions necessary for sustainable
cooperation, as well as the investment of requisite effort by coalition members.

This article is about the potentially losing battle to save the Eurozone in the long term. The
Eurozone, the greatest achievement of the European Union, is losing its glamor and is in danger
of losing its appeal as the promise of perpetual prosperity for every participant faded away.
The Eurozone architecture was created on the grounds that is almost designed to fail. Various
policies such as quantitative easing did not help boost economic growth as the best remedy for
economic troubles. Profound federalist-type reforms are necessary if the Eurozone is to have
a longer-term future. Policymakers have at least two urgent tasks to save the Eurozone. The
first is to relax budgetary rules and to change the mandate of the European Central Bank to
add growth and employment to the low inflation policy objective. The second is to introduce
belatedly federal instruments such as a common budget, automatic stabilizers (transfers),
fiscal and banking unions, a system for orderly default, common bonds, and a disputesettlement
mechanism. This is a tall order that faces strong political barriers. The dissolution
of the Eurozone would not be the end of the world, and the European Union would return to
where it was in 1992. Preparations for the post-Eurozone Europe are necessary.
