THEORY AND METHODOLOGY OF POLITICAL SCIENCE

T.V. KARADZHE D.Sc. (philosophy), Professor, Head of the Moscow State Pedagogical University’s Political Science and Sociology Department

SOCIAL SYNERGETICS AS A METHOD OF POLITICAL SCIENCE

Resort of political science to synergetics is determined by the fact that classic methodology analyses systems in the state of relative stability, but the moment of their transformation from one qualitative condition to another, described by the notion of a “leap,” is being neglected. What happens to a system at the moment of the leap? Classic methodology does not make it possible to answer this question. In the situation of time compression and globalization of the world space, qualitative changes of the system accompanied by crisises are becoming its constant feature. This demands new methodological approaches to the researche of the society’s transient conditions.

Key words: social synergetics, political science, method, approach, model, social system.

OFFICIAL ELECTRONIC PUBLICATION OF REGULATIONS AND OFFICIAL LEGAL DIGITAL SOURCES IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: DIFFERENCES, LEGAL REGULATION, PRACTICE AND PROSPECTS

Ideas of information-oriented society are growing more and more popular in modern world and the Russian Federation takes gradual measures for development of institutions of civil society connected with interaction between the people and the government particularly via the Internet sources. For instance, Dmitry Medvedev on 8, February 2012 signed the Decree “About a workgroup on preparation of suggestions on formation of “Open Government” system in the Russian Federation. Also one of the burning issues of the day is publication and preservation of legal information. It’s known that the article 15 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation states necessity of official publication of legal acts traditionally done in written form. Electronic publication is a new progressive trend in this area as well as digitization of legal material in official legal databases. Nowadays in Russia the Parliament passed a bill which from now on allows us to consider the publication on the Official Internet-portal of legal information (www.pravo.gov.ru) as official. However, there are problems that make it difficult to use it properly (the low level of informatization of society and so on).
