Combination of the two looks ..hm.. wierrrd. Your suggestions of the phrase? Thank you.

There's something schizophrenic about governing...
The low confidence is because I'm not sure I see where the sentence is going.
Please pay attention to what Piotr said about the articles. But I think "narrowing the gap" sounds better than "narrowing down the gap."

Thanks, Elizabeth. Myself, I was worried because the asker seemed to indicate that "в управлении" could mean "combination"!

management is inherently somewhat duplicitous/schizophrenic
schizophrenic is too strong in my op.
However, you give the whole context already translated in English, so I have little to go by, and answer the question exactly as it's posted, and as concisely as poss.
By the way, as an aside, sociologically speaking those statements are an absolute facile rubbish produced by a fraud. Non of our biz as translators, of course.
