As China emerges as a regional and global power and its interest in utilizing the transboundary water resources within its borders continues to grow, a better understanding of China's policies and practices towards transboundary waters is of critical importance. Scholars have explored various approaches to the study of this subject, including the legal perspective, the socioeconomic-environmental lens, the foreign relations/neighbourhood diplomacy angle, and international relations theories. Each approach has its merits and weaknesses. On the basis of all the existing analytical studies, this article proposes a process-based framework to study China's policies towards transboundary water management. ; Published version

This editorial introduces a series of papers based on presentations made at the "Soviet Diplomacy during World War II" conference held at MGIMO on June 30, 2023. It draws attention to notable aspects of Soviet diplomacy during the wartime period. Firstly, it highlights the persistent effort and skill in negotiating despite significant divergences in interests and approaches. Secondly, it discusses the adeptness in striking a careful balance between steadfastly maintaining one's stance and employing flexibility and pragmatism to achieve the ultimate objective of victory over the enemy. Thirdly, the article examines the history of international negotiations during World War II as an illustration of the clash and collaboration among prominent political figures, notably emphasizing how I.V. Stalin often outplayed his counterparts in this personalized "diplomacy of leaders."The history of World War II compellingly illustrates the necessity of diplomacy, not only during the conflict but also in the transition to peace and negotiations thereafter, as well as in the establishment of a new global order.

The article analyzes the situation on the world market of mining resources. The impact of demand for metallurgical raw materials from Asian countries has been assessed. It is shown that Asian countries in the conditions of rapid urbanization and the development of infrastructure facilities will show an increasing demand for resources for the metallurgical industry. The influence of the mining and metallurgical complex of Ukraine on the world market of iron ore and ferrous metals is investigated. Ukraine's largest exports were ferrous metals and iron ore, which accounted for 28% of all export revenue over the past three years. The main countries buying iron ore were China and the EU countries. Iron and steel went to Turkey, China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and EU countries. The current situation in the mining and metallurgical industry of Ukraine will affect world economic relations in general. There may be a shortage of iron ore and ferrous metals on the world market, Turkey, Egypt, Viet Nam may be in the most vulnerable position.

The article discusses the role of illegal drug trafficking in Pakistani-Afghan relations. The author explores the emergence and development of drug production in the zone of Pashtun tribes on the Afghan-Pakistani border. Attention is also paid to drug production in Pakistan in the 1980s.

The article is devoted to studying the problem of the relationship between essence and existence – one of the most important problems of medieval philo­sophy and at the same time one of the basic problem lines of M. Heidegger's "fundamental ontology". The author aims to reveal why it was so important for Heidegger to note the scholastic difference of essence and existence; why he ap­peals to and how he works with the texts of medieval thinkers what he pays spe­cial attention to and what conclusions comes to. Heidegger's work focuses on F. Suarez's treatise "Disputationes metaphysicae". In his lecture course "Die Grundprobleme der Phänomenologie" Heidegger circumstantially and in detail analyses the thesis of medieval ontology about the relationship between essence and existence, paying particular attention to Suarez XXXI "Disputationes meta­physicae". These works have served as the main source for this article. Analysing Heidegger's reading of the Suarez' text and its use in Heidegger's on­tological constructions, the author comes to conclusion that Suarez's and his forerunners' reasoning could provide Heidegger with support in developing phe­nomenological ontology. The article shows that a comparison of F. Suares' XXXI "Disputationes metaphysicae" with Heidegger's Marburg lectures can help resolve the issue of to what extent new interpretations of medieval ap­proaches to the relationship between essence and existence have opened up the horizons for Heidegger's radical ontological research.
