The subject of the article – the religious organization "New Generation" – is discussed as a new religious movement, and in the aspect of sociology of religion is to be typologically interpreted as a Christian neo-charismatic evangelical movement having formed as a result of cleavage. Attention is focused on the ways of political collaboration of the movement "New Generation" and the fundamental aspects of its political ideology. The choice of the study subject is grounded on the lengthy and active activity of the group in the territory of Latvia, its topicality, popularity and dynamic growth in the material as well as in the social and political aspects. It is proved by several indicators of social attention and identification – the number of publications in press, intensity of thematic discussions and forums on the Internet, publicity measures, TV broadcasts, political and public activities. The aim of the paper is to identify the main aspects of the political ideology of the religious organization "New Generation" by analyzing the available sources. In order to clear up these aspects, it is necessary to view the courses of activity of the religious organization and its activities in the spheres of civil, public and political participation. As the reference objects, mass media materials have been used as well as periodicals featuring the discourse of the organization (interviews with the organization leaders). As the primary source, the book New World Order by Alexey Ledyaev, the founder and main leader of "New Generation", has been used in which he voices the main postulates of his revelation as well as the political guidelines for the future development of the system of administration of the world and of Latvia. The book of A. Ledyaev is to be judged as the quintessence of the political ideology of "New Generation" following which the social life in the congregation of this movement has been formed and ensured and which determines the degree of political participation and content of the movement adherents. The following hypothesis is brought forward in the study – the elements and aspects forming the political ideology and the system of world-outlook and values of the religious movement "New Generation" clearly indicate a representation of the ideology of the Christian reconstructionism and its adaptation to the context and political situation of Latvia. Factors like the social agents involved in the formation of communication networks, the rhetoric of expression used in the construction of the space for discourse, the content of ideas reflected in the narratives applied in the context of the organization, models of development planning of the strategic policy and political slogans allow identification of "New Generation" as a religious movement oriented to Christian fundamentalism, which construct its political ideology using the political technologies and action models of the rightist Christians. The political ideology realized by the organization contains features of Christian reconstructionism – political programmes and strategies. On this score, "New Generation" belongs to those Christian fundamentalist organizations that practise a radical and clearly targeted policy.

The failure of political institutions, including national governments and the United Nations, to mitigate climate change reflects the modern constitution of the nation-state as a cultural and secular, rather than created and providential, agency. Northcott constructs a new political theology of climate change that acknowledges the role of borders in the constitution of the nations, and their providential ordering under God as assemblies of persons who recognise particular duties to each other within those borders. Against this conception, a global economy promotes a state of conflict over acce

International migration is becoming a powerful factor of forming the contours of the global economy and politics of the future. More and more attention is paid to non-economic effects of migration. It is clear that migration of nations is accompanied by some special consequences related to collision and diffusion of different cultures, religious and national traditions which destabilize host societies. In addition, migrants form migration networks that link them with the metropolis as well as with the original homeland. All these things turn the issue into political one. Migration processes in the globalized world are turning from a spontaneous process into a sphere of geopolitical, geoeconomic and geocultural management. For investigating this phenomenon it is necessary to create a special politological theory (politology of migration, political science of migration) the objects of which can be migrant's political consciousness and behavior in a definite historic-cultural and socio-economic environment that contribute to the formation (transformation) of various societal-political structures and institutes. The objectives of the political science of migration should also include studying diffusion processes of political values, traditions and practices that result from the interaction between migrants and host societies. In fact, politology of migration as a scientific discipline is to examine the specifics of all socially important areas of society considering them in terms of political consequences of the migration process using general and specific methods of political science research. ; Рассматриваются политические последствия и детерминанты современной международной миграции. Отмечается, что миграционные процессы в современном глобализированном мире превращаются из спонтанного процесса в сферу геополитического, геоэкономического и геокультурного управления. Делается вывод, что для исследования этого феномена необходимо создать целостную специальную политологическую теорию (политологию миграции), предметом которой могут выступать политическое сознание и поведение мигранта в конкретной историко-культурной и социально-экономической среде, способствующие становлению (трансформации) различных общественно-политических структур и институтов. ; Розглядаються політичні наслідки та детермінанти сучасної міжнародної міграції. Зазначається, що міграційні процеси в сучасному глобалізованому світі перетворюються зі спонтанного процесу на сферу геополітичного, геоекономічного та геокультурного управління. Робиться висновок, що для дослідження цього феномену необхідно створити цілісну спеціальну політологічну теорію (політологію міграції), предметом якої можуть виступати політична свідомість і поведінка мігранта в конкретному історикокультурному та соціально-економічному середовищі, що сприяють становленню (трансформації) різних суспільно-політичних структур та інститутів.
