Confucian Culture

In this brief response paper, we respond to the insightful commentaries that critically engage with our original article in this forum. First, we discuss whether Confucian culture is fundamental to Chinese geopolitics, emphasizing how and why culture is part of a wider epistemic resource. We also note that our model is not normative, but an analytic framework for understanding complex non-western situations. Second, we discuss the geographies and scales of our model, noting a core tension between geopolitics at the state level and in everyday life. Third, we address the ‘gap’ between theory and practice under our Confucian model, noting that there is often a strategic inclusion (or exclusion) of Confucianism in practice. We finish by emphasizing that our paper is part a longer journey to further decentralize the western hold upon geopolitics.

Family State

State family policy and its important direction, which is the improvement of the living conditions of orphans and children left without parental care, require constant updating due to socio-economic and political circumstances. Changes should concern both the state level and the level of specific regions. The improvement of the forms and methods of relations between the state, family and children in a particular country is possible with the consideration of the advanced achievements and miscalculations of other states in this policy. Therefore, it is highly important for the theory and practice of the development of Russian family state and regional policy to study the experience of France. The study made it possible to draw conclusions about the specifics of state policy in the formation of family and childhood in France. In this period, family policy in France has gone from exclusion from the family by the school to a discourse of cooperation. Particular attention is paid to the French School Orientation and Reform Act of June 8, 2013, of particular interest. It recognizes the importance of establishing partnerships between the school and the family and proposes measures of cooperation between school and family, some of which are interesting for contemporary Russian reality. The article shows the advantage of modern Russian family state policy by characterizing its goals, principles and objectives defined in the main regulatory documents of the last decade. The materials of the article are of practical value for legislators and heads of social services of different levels, specialists of educational authorities, social protection, guardianship and trusteeship. The article is of interest to teachers and students of pedagogical universities.

Economy Analysis

The introductory chapter lays out the rationale for the volume and provides a framework for analysing the political economy of Indian electricity. We first present a historically-rooted political economy analysis to understand the past and identify reforms for the future of electricity in India. We next outline an analytic framework to guide the empirical chapters of the book, which locates electricity outcomes in the larger political economy of electricity, the field of politics that are specific to each state, and each state’s broader political economy. The chapter ends by providing concise synopses of the state-level narratives of electricity in the fifteen states included in the volume.

The Relationship

This manuscript proposes a conceptual framework to reconceptualize college access at the state level, while accounting for the heterogeneous impact different forms of financial aid have on access across sectors and levels. The use of this framework may strengthen our understanding of the relationship between aid and access by accounting for more than one form of financial aid, considering recent and nonrecent high school graduates (NRHGs) and modeling the potential impact of aid on access across sectors.

Community Roles

This chapter discusses one of the characteristics of amoral communities, which was evident across different regions in Croatia: the ethnicization of everyday life. What distinguishes amoral communities from other types of wartime settings in which violence, looting, and the destruction of property are commonplace? The principal characteristic is that the connection between ethnicity and a political identity extends into everyday facets of life. In communities where the ethnicization of everyday life is present, instead of perceiving each other in terms of personal traits or community roles, people first consider ethnicities, or, more specifically, political ethnicities. This becomes evident, for instance, in the workplace, where people start to group along ethnic lines; in public places, where symbolic messages reflect the new polarization; and even in schools or on playgrounds, where children repeat comments they heard from adults in their lives. In amoral communities, when civilians become targets of violence on the basis of their political ethnicities, these acts of violence may be presented as necessary for the restoration of order or as a consequence of wartime conditions. While the process of ethnicization initially occurs on the state level in the discourse of political leaders, it may or may not lead to polarization along ethnic lines in some communities.

The Military

The article analyzes the problems of studying patriotic and military-patriotic education in the Russian Federation. The authors found that in most pedagogical studies, the emphasis is on the patriotic education of schoolchildren and the preparation of future teachers for this activity. The patriotic education of future defenders of the Fatherland is studied by scientists on the basis of specific educational institutions. In the historical aspect, the features of military-patriotic education are presented in works devoted to a specific period of history and a separate region. It was revealed that the features of the organization of patriotic education in the 1980s are manifested in the activation of the military-patriotic work of the pioneer and Komsomol organizations and in teaching different school subjects. In the 1990s there was a decrease in the level of militarypatriotic education, its importance in the theory and practice of education ceases to be relevant. Since the early 2000s the issues of patriotic education get more attention at the state level, there was an awareness of its importance for the development of the country and increase of its defence capability, the number of scientific research works on this problem increased. Military-patriotic education in the policy of the state faded into the background, family and civic education became a priority.
