Однако постепенно, по мере кристаллизации и формализации определяющих идей и посылок неоклассического реализма, наметилась тенденция к  его идейно-теоретическому обособлению как самостоятельного исследовательского подхода и  даже обозначились претензии на статус особой, метасинтетической теории. Для того чтобы оценить обоснованность этих претензий и в целом лучше понять место неоклассического реализма в теории международных отношений, представляется целесообразным попробовать вписать его в общую логику развития реалистской парадигмы и неореализма в частности. В первом разделе статьи рассматриваются происхождение и основные теоретические положения неоклассического реализма. Во втором разделе анализируется специфика современных теоретических взглядов на сущность и перспективы развития аналитико-методологического инструментария данного подхода. В третьем разделе освещаются эмпирические исследования, выполненные в  русле неоклассического реализма и позволяющие на практике оценить его эпистемологический потенциал. Автор приходит к выводу, что в настоящий момент неоклассический реализм едва ли может претендовать на статус отдельного теоретического направления, не говоря уже о  метатеории. Его правильнее рассматривать в качестве частного варианта, специфической модели исследования действительности в рамках (нео)реалистской парадигмы. Как таковой он позволяет продуцировать верифицируемые гипотезы на основе анализа взаимосвязей между независимой, зависимой и вмешивающейся переменными, а также открывает новые возможности для проведения эмпирических исследований широкого круга проблем. В  то же время предстоит еще много работы по преодолению присущей неоклассическому реализму эклектичности, более четкому определению его онтологических, эпистемологических и методологических оснований.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Neoclassical realism emerged as part of the neorealists’ response to the criticism of their core theoretical provisions, intended to adapt the latter to the challenges of post-bipolar international relations. However, with further elucidation and formalization of the key ideas and premises of neoclassical realism it started to assert itself as an independent research approach, and even more so, as a special, metasynthetic theory. In order to assess the validity of these claims and, in general, to better understand the place of neoclassical realism in the theory of international relations, this paper considers it within the context of the evolutionary logic of the realist paradigm and neorealism, in particular. The first section identifies the origins and main theoretical provisions of neoclassical realism. The second section covers modern theoretical debates on the essence of and prospects for further development of analytical and methodological aspects of this approach. In order to provide a better understanding of the epistemological potential of the neoclassical realism, the third section examines empirical researches carried out within its framework. The author concludes that at the moment neoclassical realism can hardly qualify for the status of an independent theoretical position, let alone a meta-theory. It is more appropriate to consider it as a peculiar form, specific research model within the framework of the (neo)realist paradigm. As such, it allows putting forward verifiable hypotheses based on the analysis of the relationships between the independent, dependent and interfering variables, and also opens up new opportunities for conducting empirical research on a wide range of subject matters. At the same time, there is still a lot of work to be done to overcome the eclecticism inherent to neoclassical realism and to better define its ontological, epistemological and methodological foundations.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>реализм</kwd><kwd>неоклассический реализм</kwd><kwd>структурный  реализм</kwd><kwd>неореализм</kwd><kwd>системный подход</kwd><kwd>внешняя политика</kwd><kwd>теория  международных отношений</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>realism</kwd><kwd>neoclassical realism</kwd><kwd>neorealism</kwd><kwd>system approach</kwd><kwd>foreign  policy</kwd><kwd>theory of international relations</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">Годованюк К.А.
