‘State, Power, Governance and Law’ conference
The State University of Management has brought together researchers, teachers, post-graduates and students from leading universities of Moscow and the regions for the 10th All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference ‘State, Power, Governance and Law’. The anniversary conference was organised by the Public Administration and Political Technologies Department of the Institute of State Management and Law.
In her welcoming speech on behalf of the Rector of the State University of Management Ivan Lobanov, Kseniya Yekimova, Doctor of Economics, Professor, SUM Vice Rector for Research, emphasised the utmost importance and demand for modern political and legal science and the practice of holding such scientific conferences. She highlighted the important role that SUM plays in the development of Russian management science, including modern state management science.
This conference is one of the most effective and meaningful. The practical format allows us to discuss the actual issues that we face universally. State management and public policy are a set of competencies that we offer our students today, a set of competencies that underlies the strategic development of our university, the research development programme and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia as a whole,
said Professor Kseniya Yekimova.
Professor Fyodor Myshko, Director of the Institute of State Management and Law, Chairman of the Organising Committee of the Conference; Professor Gennadiy Latfullin, Deputy Chairman of the Organising Committee of the Conference; and Professor Nikolay Omelchenko, Scientific Director of the Conference, Head of the State Management and Political Technologies Department, greeted the participants of the Conference who gathered at the State University of Management to discuss the pressing issues of modern national and international public policy, power, administration and law.

The science of governance is undergoing a crisis today, new methodological foundations are emerging. In my opinion, digitalisation of the economy and governance can be a double-edged sword. Technology has a technological edge and an anthropological, spiritual edge. In other words, the major trend in governance is to manage uncertainty, and today we are already implementing and addressing these issues, the issues of anthropology. These are entirely new methodological approaches to governance,
said Gennadiy Latfullin, Professor, Deputy Chairman of the Conference Organising Committee.
The ‘Topical Issues of Regional and Municipal Governance’ section (moderated by Rifat Sirazhdinov, Associate Professor of the State and Municipal Governance Department, and Nina Musinova, Associate Professor of the State and Municipal Governance Department of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation) also featured many informative presentations. This section had the largest number of participants. It was attended by both representatives of the university’s research institutes and employees of the state and municipal bodies.
