The authors explore the implementation of project management as a result of administrative reforms realization in modern states. This approach is based on the «New Public Management» paradigm. The authors propose an explanatory model of project management in the public sector, presented in the characteristics of providing types of practices (analytical, organizational and management, communication and documentation). The cases of project management in Canada, Great Britain, Norway described in the article led to the conclusion that the successful practices of project approach cause a qualitative transformation of public administration system. The preliminary outcomes of the project management experience in Russian public sector are estimated in the worldwide context. It is proved that human capital becomes the system-forming resource that develops an ecosystem of public management (in spite of its institutional flexibility in modern states and their regions) and provides its efficiency.

Despite the existence of a variety of conceptual approaches to rural development, there is a lack of methods that take into account intangible assets, such as, for example, social capital, leadership, and local identity. A more effective design of the rural development strategy may be achieved by uncovering knowledge regarding the manifestation of various intangible resources. Territorial development policies, both in terms of the level of socio-economic development and the presence of intangible resources in rural areas, are investigated in this study. The main objective is to determine how intangible resources manifest in specific empirical models of development policy for rural settlements. A novel ensemble of indices and indicators of socio-economic development and the manifestation of intangible resources, calculated based on the method of analytical hierarchies and frequency analysis, are provided. These allow for a comprehensive study of the development of rural areas by clustering settlements with a similar level of development. Patterns and deficits of resources in rural settlements are analysed according to empirical models. Verification of the empirical models is carried out by assessing the level of socio-economic development and indicators of intangible resources for 12 rural settlements in the south of Russia. Therefore, several groups of factors of intangible resources splitting the factors related (reflect the current state) and unrelated (reflect the development potential) to the socio-economic development of rural settlements have been specified.

The article substantiates the author's concept of using the process and project approaches to the participation of local communities in decision-making related to territorial development conflicts. The ability to influence decision-making through institutional mechanisms for coordinating interests is one of the key conditions for using the constructive potential of conflict. The limitation or absence of such opportunities leads to a destructive scenario of conflict development associated with delays in the implementation of development projects or their abandonment. The process approach entails the involvement of communities within the framework of routine political and managerial procedures; its potential in the implementation of development projects is limited. The project approach allows communities to be involved in all stages of project design and implementation, ensuring that they are supported and their interests are considered. The study identifies the main mechanisms of community participation within each approach, the expected outcomes of community participation, and the differences between the approaches. Typical mistakes in the process of community involvement and their negative consequences are also identified. By analyzing three conflict situations in Krasnodar, the project approach is used to assess their development prospects. Further development of the author's concept and its use in the implementation of regional development projects are highlighted

Масштабные и качественные изменения процессов социализации молодежи приводят к внутренней, в том числе и нормативно-ценностной дифференциации подрастающего поколения, динамичному изменению репертуара практик социально-политического участия молодежи в условиях цифровой социализации и сетевого общества. В статье представлены результаты теоретического анализа и опыт эмпирического исследования практик социально-политического участия городской молодежи. Показано, что комплексное исследование данного феномена в условиях сетевого общества требует выработки концептуальной и операциональной моделей, аналитического и методического инструментария, интегрирующего возможности социокультурного, деятельностного и идентитарного подходов к исследованию неинституциональных аспектов политической реальности. Описана комплексная методика исследования, в которую интегрированы классические методы сбора данных (метод фокус-групп) и специальные социально-психологические методики, адаптированные под задачи исследования. На материалах эмпирического исследования, проведенного методом фокус-групповых дискуссий в четырех городах Краснодарского края (Армавире, Сочи, Новороссийске и Краснодаре) авторами классифицированы типы конструктивных социально-политических практик молодежи по локации в публичном онлайн и оффлайн пространстве города. По критерию субъектности молодежи выявлены и описаны практики потребления информации, создания и преобразования информации и смешанные практики. По содержанию конструктивной общественно-политической деятельности в городском публичном пространстве систематизировано многообразие конструктивных общественных практик в оффлайн публичном городском пространстве; описаны образовательные, «помогающие» (добровольческие); событийные памятные и символические городские практики, экологические акции и проекты, практики публичного участия в деятельности органов местного самоуправления и проектах развития города; отмечается тенденция их к...

The purpose of this article is to identify the main trends in the influence of digital inclusion on the process of political socialization of high school students. Unconventional political activity of schoolchildren in recent years has increased the interest of scientists in the study of political socialization of children and adolescents, as well as factors influencing this process and its results. The empirical base was made up of the materials of the author's research of high school students in Krasnodar (questionnaire survey and expert sessions), as well as materials of sociological research by other authors. The level of involvement in the political life of citizens and the constructive experience of civil and political practices in a digital society largely depends on the updated set of digital competencies of citizens. Digital inclusion has the maximum impact on the political socialization of Generation Z, whose primary socialization occurred in the digital era. The level of involvement of Krasnodar high school students in digital communication is estimated as medium and high, and the level of digital competencies as medium and low. The authors have identified such vectors of the influence of digital inclusion on the political socialization of schoolchildren as: the movement from the sequence of "five transitions" of youth to their overlap and related problems of managing multitasking of identity construction; the change in the configuration of agents of political socialization from hierarchical to hybrid and the emergence of groups of youth outside the influence of traditional agents of socialization; the increasing role of digital media personalities in the formation of political views of adolescents; the development of digital technologies for the formation of political and civic identity.
