The article provides a comprehensive analysis of theoretical concepts relevant to modern political science discourse, considering the transformation of national identity in the context of the educational policy influence. The object of the research is educational policy as a specialized political resource, a set of technologies and strategies that influence the change of national identity through its own system of institutions and institutions. The subject of the study is the concentration of attention on one of the indicators of «soft power», which can be considered an objective and reliable criterion. The purpose of the study is to identify specific aspects of the influence of educational policy as a tool of «soft power» on the processes of transformation of national identity in the context of theoretical conceptualization. Research objectives: a preliminary analysis of key theoretical approaches to determining the forms of influence of educational policy as a tool of «soft power» on the transformation of national identity; clarification of criteria for the development of subsequent communication policy strategies and their systematization. The methodology of this research has been largely developed taking into account certain political science vectors, is aimed at solving current problems and includes: analysis of concepts and theories that consider educational policy as a tool of «soft power» and ways of its influence on the formation of the value foundations of national identity developed in foreign political science; comparison and systematization of theoretical approaches used in Russian political science, to study the specified list of issues. The results of the study indicate that the process of national identity formation is a multilevel and multidimensional system that requires an integrated approach and coordination of key vectors in the conceptualization of political science meanings. The authors state that in the context of globalization and cultural heterogeneity, the role of educational policy as a tool of «soft power» is increasing, contributing to the strengthening of national identity, the preservation of cultural heritage and the formation of a sense of belonging to the national community.
