Thus, it is important to determine how contemporary state and its power institutions adapt to digital technological transformations and identify the key risks, threats, and challenges associated with such adaptation. To do so, the authors of the article conducted a corresponding international expert study, which allowed them to determine the degree of digital technological transformations’ influence on the functioning of traditional states and their power institutions. Also, based on the integration of expert assessments, the authors identified the essential characteristics of digital technological transformations’ effect on contemporary institutions of state power. The study results concluded that the digitalization of contemporary states and their adaptation to current technological transformations is a complex and largely ambiguous set of processes. These include both political opportunities and the associated risks, threats, and challenges for both the state and its institutions, as well as directly for the civil society, which is rapidly increasing its complexity and diversity through intensive digitalization. This brings to a wide range of scenarios for forming state and political management models in the context of a rapidly emerging digital technological reality of a new type. The article proves that the adaptation of the traditional state as a management system to the technologically more complex environment is necessary to ensure the effective viability of both the state itself and its institutions.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Основная цель исследования - определение политического потенциала адаптации современного государства и его институтов власти к цифровым технологическим трансформациям, а также выявление ключевых рисков, угроз и вызовов, связанных с процессами такой адаптации. Для достижения данной цели авторами было проведено соответствующее международное экспертное исследование. Результаты исследования позволили определить степень влияния цифровых технологических трансформаций на функционирование традиционных государств и их институтов власти. Также по итогам комплексирования экспертных оценок авторы выделили наиболее важные характеристики влияния цифровых технологических трансформаций на современные институты государственной власти. По итогам исследования сделан вывод о том, что цифровизация современных государств и их адаптация к актуальным технологическим трансформациям является сегодня сложным и во многом неоднозначным комплексом процессов, включающим в себя одновременно как политические возможности, так и связанные с ними риски, угрозы и вызовы как для самого государства и его институтов, так и непосредственно для гражданского общества, которое не менее стремительно увеличивает свою сложность и разнообразие посредством интенсивной цифровизации. Данное обстоятельство формирует потенциал для существования широкого спектра сценариев формирования моделей государственно-политического управления в условиях стремительно формирующейся цифровой технологической реальности нового типа. В статье доказывается, что адаптация традиционного государства как системы управления к технологически усложняющейся среде своего функционирования является необходимым условием для обеспечения эффективной жизнеспособности как самого государства, так и его институтов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>state institutions of power</kwd><kwd>technological transformations</kwd><kwd>digitalization of political governance</kwd><kwd>digital politics</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>государственные институты власти</kwd><kwd>технологические трансформации</kwd><kwd>цифровизация политического управления</kwd><kwd>цифровая политика</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена при финансовой поддержке РФФИ и АНО ЭИСИ в рамках научного проекта № 21–011–31089 «Структура и особенности функционирования цифрового пространства современной политики в условиях глобальных технологических трансформаций».</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">The reported study was funded by the RFBR and the EISR according to the research project № 21–011–31089 “The structure and peculiarities of contemporary politics digital space’s functioning in the context of global technological transformations”.</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Achkasova, V.A., &amp; Dobrovolskaya, Yu.A.
