В ходе анализа первостепенное внимание уделяется формальной составляющей НТС. На основе нормативно-правовых документов, федеральных и региональных стратегий развития, а также общей информации о политической системе страны выделяются ключевые министерства и ведомства, ответственные за управление наукой и технологиями. Особое внимание уделяется форме государственного устройства. ОАЭ – асимметричная федерация, где одни субъекты обладают большими правами, чем другие. Это прослеживается в нормах Конституции государства, согласно которым существует дифференциация эмиратов по способу их участия в формировании органов государственной власти. Представленная специфика определяет нормативно-правовую систему страны и реализацию различных стратегий, в том числе в сфере научно-технологического развития. Отмечается, что системе управления НТС свойственна низкая транспарентность, а в самом государстве высокой значимостью обладают неформальные практики и институты управления. Характерными свойствами политического режима являются персонализм и патрон-клиентские отношения, влияющие на кадровые назначения. Так, ключевые позиции в системе управления научно-технологическим сектором занимают фигуры, связанные с правящими семьями эмиратов Абу-Даби и Дубая – Аль Нахайян и Аль Мактум. По этой причине особое внимание уделяется роли основных стейкхолдеров и неформальных связей. В результате исследования были выявлены ключевые фигуры в системе НТС, даны их биографии и охарактеризованы формы отношений с правящими домами. Кроме того, система управления НТС рассматривается не в вакууме, а в рамках общей политической системы государства. Автор учитывает это обстоятельство и анализирует динамику развития системы управления наукой и технологиями в условиях конкуренции между эмиратами, а также сложившегося ключевого внутриполитического тренда – движения от федерализма к централизации.</p><p>   Таким образом, цель исследования – восполнить пробелы в понимании системы управления научно-технологической сферой ОАЭ и проследить ее трансформацию в контексте последних внутриполитических изменений.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>   The article is devoted to management system of the scientific and technological sphere (STS) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The analysis focuses on the formal component of the STS. Based on regulatory documents, federal and regional development strategies, as well as general information about the state’s political system, key ministries and departments responsible for managing science and technology are identified. Special attention is paid to the form of state. The UAE is an asymmetric federation where some regions have more powers than others. This can be seen in the norms of the Constitution of the state, according to which there is a differentiation of emirates according to the way they participate in the formation of public authorities. Such specifics determine the regulatory and legal system of the country and the implementation of various strategies, including in the field of scientific and technological development of the state. It is noted that the STS management system is characterized by low transparency, and informal practices and governance institutions are of high importance in the state itself. The characteristic features of the political regime are personalism and patron-client relations that influence personnel appointments. Thus, key positions in the management system of the scientific and technological sector are occupied by figures associated with the ruling families of the emirates of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, namely Al Nahyan and Al Maktoum. In this regard, special attention is paid to the role of key stakeholders and informal relations. As a result of the research, key figures in the STS system were identified, their biographies and the degree of relations with the ruling houses were given. In addition, the STS management system is not considered in a vacuum, but in the context of the general political system of the state. The author takes this into account and analyzes the dynamics of the development of the science and technology management system in the context of competition between the emirates, as well as the current key domestic political trend – the movement from federalism to centralization.</p><p>   Thus, the purpose of the study is to fill in the gaps in understanding the UAE’s scientific and technological management system and to trace its transformation in the context of recent domestic political changes.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Объединенные Арабские Эмираты</kwd><kwd>ОАЭ</kwd><kwd>научно-технологическое развитие</kwd><kwd>управление наукой и технологиями</kwd><kwd>неформальные элементы в системе</kwd><kwd>патрон-клиентские отношения</kwd><kwd>элиты ОАЭ</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>United Arab Emirates</kwd><kwd>UAE</kwd><kwd>scientific and technological development</kwd><kwd>management of science and technology</kwd><kwd>informal elements in the system</kwd><kwd>patron-client relations</kwd><kwd>the elites of the UAE</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">Аганин, А.Р.
