The main methodo-logical problems facing the researchers of political regimes who use the regime variable in comparative research are the conceptualization, classification and operationalization of political regimes in which political changes may or may not occur. The author studies typologies of nondemocratic political regimes, the aspects of one-party, military and personalist regimes, their survival logic and the democratization prospects for every type of authoritarian regimes. Each type of authoritarianism has its own logic and inner dynamics, hence different regime-changing trajectories. Particular attention is paid to hybrid regimes as the most conceptually blurred category. Methodological problems of studying regime change include concept stretching, conceptu-alization of successes and failures and also the distinguishing of potentially relevant cases in order to increase the number of cases, since the events studied are rare events. The article proceeds to study the po-litical changes from the perspective of democratic transition theories and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of two main approaches to studying political regime changes, i.e. the structure-oriented and the agency-oriented.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья посвящена состоянию современных сравнительных исследований в области политических режимов, режимных изменений и перспектив демократизации поставторитарных государств. Отмечено, что главная методологическая проблема в исследовании политических режимов и в использовании режимной переменной в сравнительных исследованиях заключается в концептуализации, классификации и операционализации режимов, в которых происходят или не происходят изменения. Представлен анализ типологий недемократических режимов и особенностей функционирования однопартийных, военных и персоналистских режимов, дана оценка перспектив демократизации каждого типа авторитаризма. Подчеркнуто, что каждый тип авторитарного режима имеет свою логику выживания и отличительную внутреннюю динамику и, соответственно, следует собственной траектории изменений. Особое внимание уделено гибридным режимам как наиболее концептуально размытой категории. Показаны методологические трудности изучения режимных изменений, включающие растяжение концептов, концептуализацию успешных и неуспешных событий и отбора потенциально релевантных казусов для увеличения числа изучаемых случаев, поскольку изучаемые события относятся к редким. Продемонстрированы преимущества и недостатки структурного и процедурного подходов при исследовании режимных изменений в контексте теорий демократических транзитов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>political regime</kwd><kwd>regime change</kwd><kwd>conceptualization</kwd><kwd>operationalization</kwd><kwd>structure approach</kwd><kwd>agency approach</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>политический режим</kwd><kwd>режимное изменение</kwd><kwd>концептуализация</kwd><kwd>операцио-нализация</kwd><kwd>структурный подход</kwd><kwd>процедурный подход</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">33 (in Russ).</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Кудряшова И.В.
