The analysis attempts to justify a new concept of Ukraine's place in the international security system. According to the results of the study, there was carried out an analysis of the historical preconditions for overcoming the postcolonial factors of the Ukrainian elite. The authors emphasized on the exclusive role of Crimea for the dominant state of the Black Sea region and hypothesized about assigning such a role to Ukraine. The use of the comparative method made it possible to distinguish the mental and behavioral principles of the European, Asian, and African archetype. Ukrainian advantages establish a transition to limiting one's own needs, conscious passionate philanthropy. The normative-value method was used to clarify the historical determinants of Russia's common good. The passionate abilities of the Ukrainian elites were confirmed on the basis of historical regularities, for which the activity method was used. It is recommended to take into account the exceptional importance of the Circumpontian community/civilization, which will eliminate Russia's ambitions within the Black Sea. The regional aspirations of the Russian Federation have faced strong opposition from Turkey and Ukraine in recent years. The European Union's position on Turkey has been described as controversial. Getting rid of a toxic partner competitor of the Russian Federation for the EU will create a new geopolitical reality in which priority will be given to respect for international law. Russia's occupation administrations are pursuing a policy of depletion and destruction in states seeking to break out of its orbit of influence. These were the pro-Russian enclaves of the Black Sea region – Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Donbass, Crimea, Transnistria or Pridnestrian region. The builders of the "Russian world" are planning and implementing a plan for the disintegration of the European community, to which A. Merkel drew attention. It is proposed to change the priorities in relation to the modern system of ineffective security system and ...

The author defines the cyberspace as a new dimension of political space and as a field of political interaction and confrontation of various political actors. The differences between cyberspace and the Internet-space are analyzed. It is shown that modern society is becoming specifically networked and digital, the relations in machine-mediated social and media net-works complement or replace communications based on the face to face interaction of political actors. ; Вступ. У сучасному світі інформація є одним із найважливіших ресурсів і, одночасно, однією з рушійних сил. Стрімкий розвиток та поширення нових інформаційних і комунікативних технологій призвели до глобальної інформаційної революції, яка здійснює значний вплив на всі сфери. Мета і завдання. Метою статті є аналіз природи кіберпростору і його вплив на характер сучасних міжнародних відносин. Завдання полягає у виявленні особливостей і основних відмінностей кіберпростору. Результати дослідження. Поняття «кіберпростору» пройшло довгий шлях концептуалізації з моменту своєї появи в науково-фантастичній літературі на початку 1980-х років. Розуміння кіберпростору як комунікативного простору не є новим, оскільки воно з'являється задовго до комп'ютерів та Інтернету. Завдяки спільному кіберпростору сучасне суспільство стає специфічно мережевим і цифровим, тобто таким, де відносини в машинно-опосередкованих соціальних і медіамережах доповнюють або замінюють комунікації, засновані на взаємодії політичних акторів. Кіберпростір порівняно з іншими просторами людської діяльності має такі риси: це є інформаційний простір; в ін є комунікативним середовищем; утворюється за допомогою технічних систем; кіберпростір може постійно копіюватися, множитися і відтворюватися, щоє характерною ознакою соціуму; кіберпростір радикально збільшує швидкість, обсяг і дальність взаємозв'язку не тільки держав і корпорацій, а й окремих громадян, які можуть використовувати його для глобального, майже миттєвого спілкування, використовуючи різноманітні інформаційні засоби. Обговорення. ...

Contemporary diplomacy will largely depend on the path to the creation of a new world order. There are different options for the political structure of the world: from the unipolar / multipolar world to the world government. The role of non-state actors will increase in the international arena, while the process of eroding national sovereignty will continue. In this regard, diplomacy faces serious tests of strength, it will have to adapt to current conditions, as well as perform a joint function between state and non-state actors in international relations. Information flows become the levers of governance, namely, socio-economic, socio-political, international processes. Today we can speak of "the emergence of a global information industry that is undergoing a period of technological convergence, organisational combinations, legislative liberalisation, and the role of knowledge, information in economic development, the emergence of new forms of the "electronic" democracy, structural changes in employment". The role of international organisations in international relations has undergone qualitative changes. They have become auxiliary tools for solving particular problems of interaction of sovereign states into a segment of international life. International organisations play an extremely important role in conflict resolution. Conflict prevention is becoming increasingly important in their activities. The mechanism for resolving conflicts by organisations is predominantly political in nature, but it is based on international law.

One of the most important (and top-priority for solving) reasons for the insufficient effectiveness of international law in the fight against terrorism is the lack of a universal international legal definition of terrorism (hereinafter referred to as the definition of terrorism). The article outlines the problems of adopting the definition of terrorism; revealed some negative consequences of the absence of a definition of terrorism in international law. It is pointed out that in order to accept the definition of terrorism, it is necessary to identify the characteristics and specific features of terrorism that distinguish it from other types of offenses and which (characteristics and features) could be used as a basis for defining elements of terrorism as well as the basis for the definition of terrorism. We agree that in the context we should focus on the following recognized in the doctrine essential characteristics of terrorist methods of action: violent basis of action; political motivation and goal setting; use of intimidation as a tool to achieve the goal; intent to cause innocent casualties and adequate destruction. It is concluded that terrorism is an international crime. We agree with the positions of experts according to which the prohibition of terrorism is a norm of general international law in the form of customary international law. It points to the need to adopt a norm in positive international law that would clearly state that violating the prohibition of terrorism is an international crime. We consider the position of experts to be noteworthy, according to which the prohibition of terrorism is the norm of jus cogens. The norms of jus cogens are aimed at protecting fundamental, basic or higher interests or fundamental humanitarian values. These fundamental values include human rights and the right to human dignity, which are fundamental and belong to all people. It seems obvious that the prohibition of terrorism protects the fundamental values of humanity and human dignity. Terrorism is a threat ...

The author of the article has studied the problem of increasing the extent of drug abuse and illicit trafficking, which poses a serious threat to the health and well-being of people and has a negative impact on the economic, cultural and political foundations of the world order. It has been stressed that the problem of combating drug addiction and related offenses can not be solved by means of unilateral actions at the national level. Therefore, the author has considered the role of Ukraine in international cooperation, as well as the integration of the current national system into the relevant structures of the European Union. The author has highlighted the features of international cooperation in counteracting drug crimes, which reside in the fact that the social danger of such acts and their unlawfulness are determined in international treaties, the subjects of which are the states. The obligation of the states is mainly to implement the punishment for such acts into national law, giving each other the necessary legal assistance, including the extradition of offenders. Consequently, the author has suggested concrete measures aimed at fruitful and mutually beneficial cooperation with the EU, which will also contribute to bringing the political, economic and social systems of Ukraine in line with European criteria and will form the atmosphere of a single space. ; Розглянуто роль України в міжнародному співробітництві у сфері протидії наркозлочинності, а також проблеми інтеграції чинної національної системи боротьби з наркоманією та пов'язаними з нею правопорушеннями до відповідних структур Європейського Союзу.

The article deals with the issue of the conflicts of laws in international private law. It has been found out that each state has its own legal regulation of the relations which leads to conflicts of material norms of various states and complicates legal regulation of international relationships. The law of the states has many differences in regulation of various relations which provides for application of a connecting factor as one of the ways to solve the problem. It has been proved that international private law has a significant role in regulation of relations with a foreign element. As for international private law which norms are formed independently by each state, compliance with treaty obligations as well as rules and principles of international law by each state is significant to each state. At the same time, codification of international private law is the main way for systematization and legislative implementation of conflict of laws, material and procedural provisions designated for regulation of private relations with foreign element. Qualification of legal definitions which are applied in formulation of the rule of the conflict of laws is a burning issue as well. It has been established that the procedure for qualification in international private law should identify the model of relations and consists of three stages which are: interpretation of the rule; analysis of relations; comparison of the rule and relations. It has been clarified that the situation of a mobile conflict and the issue of acceptance or failure to accept remission and remission to the law of the third state relate to the issue regarding application of the rule of the conflict of laws in international private law. We think that the first priority task is to bring national laws on international private law in compliance with modern conditions of international civil and trade turnover. For the future development it is necessary to introduce a single legislative act which will take into account all these issues and the mechanism ...

The article discloses the formation, development and modern state of private international law in the European Union. The concept of "European private international law", including an analysis of the term in a narrow, wide and broadest sense is revealed in the article. The author analyses three main stages in the development of the private international law in the EU, in particular: formation (1957 ‒ 1999); active development ‒ after the entry into force of the Amsterdam Treaty (1999 ‒ 2009); modern period ‒ after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty (2009 ‒ present). This article examines the limits of EU legislation as the source of a single law and highlights the difficulties associated with projects on the codification of private law in the EU. Such an approach may be appropriate in the current state of EU integration if it is limited by the rules of binding contract law and the provisions of private international law. Further harmonization of private law in Europe also requires significant changes in the institutional structure for the creation of uniform rules and the development of new methods of regulation. There are three features of the development of the private international law in the EU: 1) the gradual transition from internationalization to Europeanization; 2) evolution to reduce the "flexibility" of conflict regulation of contractual relations through greater certainty in application; 3) if in 1999 the international convention was the source of unification of the private international law, then after this date the regulation becomes the standard source of unification. Private international law in the EU can be defined as the interconnection and interaction between the systems of national law of the EU Member States and the system of uniform (unified) legal norms aimed at regulating private legal relations with a foreign element within the EU. European private international law can be seen in a narrow sense (conflict of law), broad sense (covers conflict and conflict law) and the broadest ...
