The pro-cesses of globalization provoke both universal schemes and projects, which are reflected in cross-country comparative indexes and benchmarks, and doubts about their validity due to the growing complexity and diversity of political institutions, values and systems in the contemporary world. The article analyses certain theoretical schools in political science, representing both of the aforementioned approaches.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье рассматривается валидность ведущих межстрановых сравнительных рейтингов и глобальных бенчмарков с позиции теории сложных систем в международных отношениях. Процессы глобализации порождают как универсалисткие схемы и проекты, находящие отражение в межстрановых сравнительных индексах и бенчмарках, так и сомнения в их валидности вследствие растущей сложности и многообразия политических институтов, ценностей и систем в современном мире. В статье анализируются отдельные теоретические школы в политологии, представляющие оба вышеуказанных подхода.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>rating</kwd><kwd>benchmark</kwd><kwd>cross-country index</kwd><kwd>the complex international relations theory</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рейтинг</kwd><kwd>бенчмарк</kwd><kwd>межстрановой индекс</kwd><kwd>теория сложных систем</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Mchedlova M.M.
