Modern View of Praxeology as a Political Science

In recent years – the years of geopolitical instability – the public expects political scientists to understand the upcoming threats and scientifically based political forecasts. Among the existing methods and approaches of political analysis, praxeology mains the most non-theoretical subject of political science. The historical development of praxeology has shown that today it can be applied to a system of hostile actions that are an integral part of international relations. Using the example of K. Boulding’s threat system, a praxeological approach was applied to the EU’s sanctions policy against Russia. The key factors that increase the likelihood of threats and corresponding responses to them were identified. The results of the contextual study of praxeology have shown the prospect for further theoretical developments in the field of political analysis and the development of praxeology as an actual subdiscipline of political science.
