Spheres of State Policy of the Russian Federation from the Perspective of Nation-Building: Correlation Priorities and Mechanisms

Aims: to determine the General and special characteristics of official documents in the fields of state cultural policy, state youth policy and state national policy of the Russian Federation in terms of their interaction in terms of positions relevant to the perspective of nation-building.Methods: informal content analysis of documents, formal legal method, methods of comparative and system analysis, content analysis of the content of Internet resources, contextual analysis of political discourse.Results and discussion: the specifics of regulatory regulation of these areas are analyzed, the degree of their legislative institutionalization is revealed, and vulnerabilities that prevent greater correlation are shown. The content of the official websites of Federal government bodies and their structural divisions responsible for the formation and implementation of state cultural, youth and national policies and Advisory bodies under them is studied, taking into account the coverage of planned and ongoing events and initiatives. The provisions that emphasize the issues of present and future States in certain spheres that are fundamental for official and theoretical discourse in the context of nation-building trends are outlined.Conclusion: the existing documents and mechanisms provided for by them ensure a fairly high degree of integration of various spheres of state policy of the Russian Federation. At the same time, they need to achieve a better balance of the main goals, tasks, and implementation mechanisms. Some forward-looking estimates for these areas in the medium term are justified, allowing for the probability of individual adjustments, including in the legislative sphere. At the same time, we recommend measures to improve management practices based on transformed paradigm approaches, primarily to the sphere of culture. The author argues for linking the proposed amendments within the framework of the constitutional reform with the guidelines of nation-building and priorities fixed in the spheres of state policy.
