The Sociology of Power  is a quarterly double-blind peer-reviewed open-access academic journal published by the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA) which covers a wide scale of interdisciplinary topics.

The journal publishes original articles, book reviews, translations, interviews in both Russian and English.

Our mission is to make the global academic community aware of the current studies of the problems encountered by the Russian and Post-Soviet societies today, and engage the Russian academic community in more in-depth studies of fundamental social theories and philosophic debates on power.

The scope of the journal covers two main subfields: concepts of social theory and philosophy focusing on relationships between power and society, and empirical research of the Russian and Post-Soviet social environment which illustrates these concepts. Manifestations of power and their impact on social and cultural inequality, discrimination, and conflicts are viewed through the lens of critical theory and a variety of approaches developed in social sciences and humanities.
