Кроме того, рассматриваются теоретические рамки осмысления меритократии в современной науке (с точки зрения экономики, социологии и политологии). Приводятся аргументы как в пользу, так и против более широкого применения меритократических принципов при отборе политических управленцев. Анализ современных практик отбора «достойнейших» в развитых странах показывает, что они применяются в ограниченном масштабе, но играют существенную роль при назначении на должности в госсекторе. В Сингапуре меритократический принцип провозглашен как основа госуправления; следовательно, образовательная система ориентирована на отбор и обучение самых способных кандидатов. В Китае отчасти возрождают древние традиции меритократии, отчасти привносят опыт Сингапура, и продвижение «достойнейших» также важно для повышения эффективности госуправления. Однако в обеих странах меритократия пока не позволила решить многие проблемы, более того, она создает новые вызовы. В статье поставлен вопрос о том, можно ли трансформировать меритократию и целесообразно ли широко применять практику Сингапура в других странах.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The paper reviews historical and modern understanding of meritocracy and meritocratic approaches and practices in the application to the selection of political leaders and governmental officials. A theoretical framework of analyzing meritocracy in the modern science is also considered from the stand-point of various disciplines such as economics, political science, sociology, and as applied to the quality of human capital. Meritocratic principles of selecting candidates for positions in public service in the Western countries differ a lot from the ones used in China and Singapore. China partly revitalizes its ancient traditions of meritocracy, and partly adopts the experience of Singapore where meritocratic principles form the basis of state governance, and where the system of education is oriented at selection and training of the most capable candidates. However, in both countries meritocracy has not yet helped to solve many existing problems, and even more — it creates new concerns and challenges. Therefore, it becomes essential to discuss whether Singapore meritocratic approach is transferable to other countries.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>меритократия</kwd><kwd>отбор управленческих кадров</kwd><kwd>человеческий капитал</kwd><kwd>государственная служба</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>meritocracy</kwd><kwd>governmental officials selection</kwd><kwd>human capital</kwd><kwd>leadership</kwd><kwd>public service</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Алишев Т.
