Abstract
The article discusses the theoretical and methodological features of studying the concept of an epistemic community through the prism of a historical perspective on the formation of the concept. The study of represented communities deserves significant attention within political science. Researchers could potentially use this concept and its proposals in the study of the theory of civil war resolution, the formation of alliances, the change of identities, etc. The article touches upon the question of the expediency of concentrating epistemic communities only on international processes, and provides an example of studies that apply the concept at the national level in specific states. The research covered in this article attempts to answer an important question: why do some epistemic communities manage to convince decision makers that their policies are preferable, while others do not. Further research of epistemic communities will help to study in more detail many issues related to the influence that expert communities have on political decision-making.
