Abstract: This article reviews the constitutional evolution of Russia and Mexico in order to determine the causes for their current differences regarding their policies and governance systems after sharing similar characteristics during their political and economic liberalization period over three decades ago. The subject of this research are constitutional amendments, their frequency by type (article or section) and initiators (institutions and actors) in both countries. Results are compared with the main theories of the main experts in the field as well as speeches by leading government figures to identify and explain discrepancies. The goal consists in finding the causes and purposes of constitutional amendments to determine a hierarchy of actors and their capacity and instruments required in establishing national policies. In order to achieve the research goal, the author carries out a comparative analysis regarding the evolution of both nations at a political and constitutional level, furthermore, external threats are analyzed regarding their ability to influence the decisions behind the main actors regarding the overall course of both nations. In conclusion, the author underlines the importance in initial position of the country within the larger order of nations as a determinant in its course regardless of the implementation of foreign policies and practices. In the same manner, the role of the Mexican and Russian presidents as regulators of the internal power dynamics and overall system of governance is noted in both countries. This article represents a conceptual framework for supporting constitutional studies in the context of comparative analysis to assess the capacity of government institutions in reacting to the challenges of their external context. The detailed theoretical and practical approach towards analyzing constitutional amendments was conducted by means of comparing a quantitative and qualitative analysis that allowed determining the prospects of a standardized system for future comparative studies.

Abstract: This essay reviews the source of national security threats embedded in contemporary policy transfer processes. The subject of this research are the processes within policy transfer tied to NGO’s and international organizations. The goal of this exercise consists on designing a replicable framework to policy transfer to be implemented by the state in all its stages in the absence of external entities as a mean to diminish the threats to national security.
This essay begins by analyzing the worldwide demand for knowledge under the Dolowitz-Marsh approach to review the role of NGO’s and other international organizations involved in the contemporary processes of policy transfer. The author analyzes Stone’s concept of methodological nationalism according to evaluation of policy results in relation to international standards.
Under this framework is concluded that NGO’s and international organizations can contribute to the production of knowledge, however their relationship with the state typically expands beyond the results of activity thereafter increasing the risks to national security by their influence beyond accountability and control. In order to achieve the set research goal, this essay provides a novel framework to policy transfer based on federalism-base comparative analysis due to the availability of multidimensional data. The author concludes on the need to disassociate external entities from policy transfer processes according to a federalism-based comparative analysis and provides a series of steps to perform it. In this manner, the state will remain interconnected to global sources of information and processes while retaining its sovereignty in a contemporary setting.

Abstract: This article explores the promising role of modern international organizations in the production of knowledge applicable to the context of globalization and global governance, as well as the required framework and mechanisms. The subject of this research is the mechanisms of international organizations, namely OECD, in the production of knowledge used within the system of global governance.
