Elite Recruitment

The paper contemplates one of the aspects of institutionalization of regional political elite, i.e. the establishment of a specific recruitment pool and career track. The study is based on the analysis of the deputies’ biographies of ten legislatures of the Russian regions and of regional representatives in the Federal Assembly. A total of 660 biographies was analysed. The authors use structural-biographical method. Based on the study of career tracks and personal characteristics, it can be argued that institutionalization and a certain stability of the recruitment pool of regional political elite has largely occurred. Moreover, the observed mobility of some characteristics, such as education, pre-elite professional activity, is an indicator of a transition from the late Soviet and post-Soviet requirements and conditions of regional power formation to more modern ones. The authors observe the narrowing of the social space of elite recruitment and their plutocratization. The establishment of a deputy corps in a region entails some issues in the politics. The decrease of the number of deputies working full-time and professionally serving as a member of the regional legislature results in the depoliticization of public space and increase of the significance of the administrative elite.

AbstractThis article provides a comparative analysis of four large towns in the Southern Low Countries between c. 1350 and c. 1550. Combining the data on Ghent, Bruges and Antwerp – each of which is discussed in greater detail in the articles in this special section – with recent research on Bruges, the authors argue against the historiographical trend in which the political history of late medieval towns is supposedly dominated by a trend towards oligarchy. Rather than a closure of the ruling class, the four towns show a high turnover in the social composition of the political elite, and a consistent trend towards aristocracy, in which an increasingly large number of aldermen enjoyed noble status. The intensity of these trends differed from town to town, and was tied to different institutional configurations as well as different economic and political developments in each of the four towns.

If we sum up the tasks facing the Russian state in relation to the young generation, then all of them are associated with its harmonious inclusion in the social and political development of the country. At the normative level, the current need is declared for young people to form active citizenship and democratic political culture, which is possible only in a constant and equal dialogue between the authorities and young people. Ensuring the interaction of the younger generation with the political elite presupposes the existence of certain conditions - the creation and effective functioning of the information infrastructure of youth policy, as well as the conduct of an open active information policy. The article describes the results of a study of the political status of students of the capital of Tatarstan - Kazan, in particular, such parameters as youth interest in political information, trust in the sources of this information, and political participation. Together with the data of secondary studies, this made it possible to characterize the youth sector of political communication, identify the existing difficulties in the interaction of the government and youth, in particular, identify some difficulties in receiving and disseminating political information among the youth, which impede the development of a democratic political culture and the accumulation of social capital of the young generation.
