CATALYSTS AND INHIBITORS OF POLITICAL CAREER IN RUSSIA by I. A. Lavrov

“…Studying the basic principles of the political elite formation in Russia is the cornerstone for understanding the country’s future strategy and its development vector, since the development strategy will depend on those people who will be at the helm of the country’s governance. There is already a dynamic process of rejuvenating the authorities, representatives of Generation X are actively striding along the political career ladder and gain high positions. …”

Under pressure of two dictatorships: Mensheviks of Urals and TransUrals in first months of A. V. Kolchak’s dictatorship by V. V. Moskovkin, I. V. Skipina

“…An analysis of the political line of the Mensheviks testifies to the inconsistency of their ideological position, which in conditions of tough confrontation could not become the key to the success of the party claiming a leading position in governing the country. In the fall of 1918, the Mensheviks demonstrated opposition to any dictatorship, expressed disagreement with the Bolshevik policies, they did not support Kolchak, continuing to defend the «third way» in the revolution, believing he would ensure the victory of democracy and socialism and allow to form republican rule. …”

An Analysis of the Long-Term Sustainability of the Large Companies Included in the Original Standard and Poor’s 500 Index by Jorge Moya, Marta Torres, Manuel Uche-Soria

“…Then, using a fuzzy set methodology, this study obtained results that identified some of the main elements that might be considered as inductors of the business durability in the case of the big corporations: the effectiveness of the companies, the coherence with the mission, and the capacity of organisation are essential for the long-term sustainability of the companies especially if they are associated with a formalised structure of governance. The results also conclude that the simple presence of these elements is not enough for the permanence of the companies and only the progresses and improvements in these variables can guarantee the sustainability of the companies.…”

La transformation de la politique sur Internet : de la politique-spectacle à la cyberdémocratie d’activisme citoyen by José Luis Dader

“…A lot of the new tools of what it starts to be called “technopolitics” only add bigger sensationalism, sentimentalism and triviality to the portrayal of leaders, political parties and governs. The political videos in Youtube, the viral marketing and the twitter-craziness boost the political hype impact but they only strength, most of the times, the propagandist distortion instead of the analysis of electoral proposals and the basic data of policy management. …”
