Public Sector Policy as a Problem Area for Research in Political Science

Relevance. The relevance of the proposed study of state sectoral policy is due to modern discussions within the framework of Russian political science, caused by the development of a new project passport for the nomenclature of scientific specialties in political sciences. The new draft passport for the nomenclature of scientific specialties in political sciences involves a radical transformation of the directions of research in political science towards strengthening the positions of political institutions, political processes and political technologies, as well as public administration and sectoral policies. Certain areas, in fact, are recognized as irrelevant in the perspective dimension. This circumstance makes it necessary to analyze the existing developments in relation to state sectoral policies in the framework of modern political science and their consolidation in the current legislation.
The purpose of the article is to study the state of elaboration of the problematics of state sectoral policies in modern Russian political science.
The objectives of the research are: quantitative and qualitative analysis of the elaboration of state sectoral policies in political science; identification of the key problems of these studies; development of theoretical and methodological recommendations for future research of state sectoral policies.
Methodology. The main research methods are comparative, as well as quantitative and qualitative content - analysis. It is supposed to use interdisciplinary political-legal, political-economic research methods.
Results. Theoretical and methodological recommendations for future studies of state sectoral policies are proposed.
Findings. The underdevelopment of the problems of state sectoral policies in modern Russian political science, as we believe, the underdevelopment of the methodological apparatus of political science in terms of the use of interdisciplinary research, completely ruled out this problematic as promising.
