Context of Research Project within a Subject of Human Capital
In some modern states, there is a number of crisis situations in the relations between the center and territories (Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Turkey, etc.) and the need for effective technologies and tools to resolve them. In the Russian Federation, there is a permanent rotation of the personal composition of political leadership in its regions. During the coronavirus crisis, the limited effectiveness of a number of regions leadership in Russia was revealed, which determines the need to nominate new regional leaders.
The research project Human Potential of Political Elites in the System of Center-Regions Relations is aimed at studying the human potential of political elites at the national and subnational levels from the perspective of a comparative analysis of the world and domestic experience of Center-regions relations, and practices of forming the administrative apparatus at the national and subnational level.
