Bologna process as a factor of integration of educational systems of Russia and the west

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to identify the patterns of development of educational systems of Russia and the West with emphasis on the features of the introduction of the Bologna process into the Russian higher education system. In the process of research, methods of comparative analysis, cyclicity, intersectoral synthesis, theoretical and legal modeling, historical and legal reconstruction, as well as other methods of scientific knowledge were used. The concept of the cycle of social history in relation to the genesis of the State and law in general and in relation to the concept of educational law in particular is justified. The conceptual difference between the educational systems of Russia and the West in terms of the mechanism of their formation and the goals of functioning is shown. The intra-systemic conflict of the system of modern Russian education is proved, combining Soviet (specialty, graduate school) and Bologna (undergraduate, master's degree) components.
