The article aims to reveal particularities of cancel culture in politics and international relations using methods of sociology and conflict theory. Deriving from previous research of cancel culture, authors define cancel culture as non-institutionalized form of social control that is implemented through mass mobilization in social media. After informal pressure the formal punishment could follow against those who break norms or behavior expectations. As a kind of social control cancel culture could contribute to overcoming gap between manifested values and social practices, preserving social order and fighting elitism and inequality. At the same time cancel culture could be used as instrument of unfair competition, political struggle and suppression of opinions. Comparison of cancel culture cases in the USA, United Kingdom and Russia allows to conclude that the scale and effectiveness of collective actions depend on national context, different systems of norms and values and cultural practices to react on violation of values and norms.In politics and international relations cancel culture manifests as an addition to actions of formal political institutions, and it aims to undermine authority and reputation of a politician. It is important that in politics and international relations cancel culture is an instrument of informal control, which follows formal sanctions. Conclusions about the nature of cancel culture as an instrument of politics helps to understand better its functions in regard to attempts to "cancel" Russia. Cancel culture adds to formal sanctions and aims to isolate the country, to undermine its legitimacy as international actor. In regard to Russia the efforts are made to "cancel" it on two levels: formal – by sanctions and informal – via rejection to cooperate coming from various professional communities. In both cases countries and respective communities have their own understanding of norms and acceptable means and tools, and thus cancel culture becomes a toll of collective punishment. International relations lack universal understanding of norms and single center of political power, so that causes selective usage of instruments to impact, and thus cancel culture becomes an instrument of political struggle.

Though the provision of illicit goods and services is far from being a new phenomenon, today's global economic environment has allowed transnational organized crime an unprecedented capacity to challenge states. The authors of this book examine the trends underlying the explosion of transnational organized crime and consider possible responses. Emphasizing the difficulties encountered by individual states in their efforts to deal with this security dilemma, they highlight the growing importance of multilateral initiatives

The 21st century is called the century of scientific and technological progress which is marked by the rapid changes in various fields of life. Every progress is, of course, accompanied by the impact that follows. The impact is not always functional so it takes intelligence to understand the various changes. The big Issue of UPI ICSE 2017 is "Social Dynamic: Culture, Politic, and Education". This topic encompasses concept of social change in dynamic era. Since it is continuously evolved, Social Dynamic may change people's way to capturing their social life especially their culture. In the future, social change will fully have impacted the society in whole world. Thus, the role of education may boost the synchronization between the Social Dynamic and Role of Culture and Politic. Social dynamics is the study of the changes that occur in various social facts that are closely related to each other in order to have a functional impact on human life. Through this international conference, I hope to produce studies that are closely related to social dynamics, especially in the perspective of sociology with a starting point on the analysis of Politics, Culture and Education. In addition, it is hoped that the results of the analysis of the study can provide the basis for various interests in overcoming the problems that arise as the impact of advancement of science and technology progress, so that the 21st century can be a century of enlightenment and peace. Comte define social dynamic as a process of progressive evolution in which people become cumulatively more intelligent, following this term we have learned to think of social dynamic in the context of development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the existence of culture and politics." It is long overdue that we begin to link this vitally important concept with the goals and learning outcomes of sociology education and think about what it means for sociology education to be sustainable and contribute to sustainable development. For this second ...
