metadata.value: The article examines the thirty-years’ experience in risk studies that has been acquired by
  scholars at St. Petersburg State University. The authors analyze the distance travelled from
  the first attempts to integrate risk approach into Soviet sociology to current research carried
  out at the intersection of conflict studies and risk studies approaches. Using classic research
  interpretations of risk and risk perception, such as “risk society” (U. Beck), “cultural theory”
  (M. Douglas, A. Wildavsky), “system theory” (N. Luhmann), the authors identify several features
  that distinguish the St. Petersburg University approach in risk studies, such as applying
  risk theory to the whole social system rather than isolated business or political cases. As an
  example of this approach to examining risk, the article presents the results of an all-Russian
  survey carried out by project group of St. Petersburg University in order to identify risk-reflections
  as a factor in conflict strategy choice. The collected data demonstrates that the integration
  of risk and conflict studies offers significant opportunities for highlighting the divergence
  of interests between producers and consumers of risks. At the same time, the original research
  strategy should facilitate the creation of a realistic model for the evaluation of effective political
  risk management. The authors conclude that the present phase of risk research by scholars
  at St. Petersburg University is characterized by the consolidation of conflict and risk studies
  that makes it possible, on the one hand, to investigate any risk as a conflicting phenomenon
  and, on the other hand, to examine risk perception as a special discursive practice which has
  a high manipulative potential.
