metadata.value: The aim of this paper is not only ontological, but also purely pragmatic. While we are preparing
  for the transition to new educational standards for the group of specialties and areas of training
  named “Political Science and Regional Studies”, this paper is addressed at Russian professionals
  who have been teaching in this field for many years and invites them to evaluate the current stage
  and to predict the future of the institutionalization of Political science in Russian higher education.
  To identify the international and the nation-specific, the paper uses a comparative analysis
  of twelve Russian and twelve Western universities, the curricula of leading Western and Russian
  universities where Political science are taught, as well as employs synthesis methods and analogies,
  by means of which we propose the components of the educational model which are more
  consonant with modern requirements for professional political scientists. The conclusions made
  in this study relate primarily to the fact that the Political science in the Russian context of higher
  education is unjustifiably positioned among the disciplines of the humanities cycle, which attracts applicants unwilling to study mathematics and sciences, or to receive a wide range of social science
  knowledge. Russian programmes are also devoid of numerous components that could make
  the graduates of Political science departments more attractive in the labour market. Finally, it is
  concluded that the curricula should include subjects that help to form competencies corresponding
  to a whole range of new requirements that the information society makes to the level and
  content of knowledge of a modern political scientist, including Big Data, a deep understanding
  of the interrelationship of the Internet and the political sphere, as well as other social spheres.
