 abstract={The article is devoted to a discussion of the history of political anthropology. In it the author focuses on what he considers the main cause of the transformations that have taken place in this discipline – changes in how the concept of “politics” is understood. In the classical period of anthropology’s development, politics was accounted for in terms of formal structures and institutions. It was considered to be a domain of developed societies, with the state being the ideal and most appropriate form of political organization. Since the 1980s, the conviction has been growing that politics always manifests itself through culture, and that it can be seen in a variety of discourses and social practices that often go beyond the conventionally understood political realm. This change resulted in a significant expansion of the cognitive horizons of political anthropology, and led to its rapprochement with political science and legal scholarship. As a result, political anthropology today is one of the fastest growing sub-disciplines of anthropology},
