This article uses a new dataset of Chinese student attitudes to foreign affairs to analyse how perceptions of the United States, Russia, Japan and North and South Korea affect respondent perceptions of international friendship with these states. Employing a mediation analysis we find that perceptions of national trustworthiness above all other images is the crucial factor in explaining cross-national friendship. These findings suggest that trust-building measures would be a fruitful avenue for both reducing the likelihood of conflict in the region and fostering cooperative international interactions.

International audience ; This article questions the persistence of militarism in a globalized economy, contrary to the conclusions of the liberal economic theory. Globalization even seems to generate new sources of international conflict and new ways of waging war. ; Malgré les conclusions de l'analyse libérale, la guerre et le militarisme s'invitent dans les relations économiques internationales parce que les intérêts entre les Etats sont souvent divergents. Le partage des loyers des matières premières et les conditions concrètes de la concurrence économique créent de nombreuses opportunités de conflits. Dans certaines conditions, la guerre est toujours une situation intéressante et une opportunité pour certains intérêts économiques et politiques. La mondialisation des flux internationaux de biens, de capitaux, mais aussi d'informations, entraîne des risques majeurs, notamment la pénurie de denrées alimentaires et de matières premières, les crises financières systémiques et les cyberattaques mondiales.

The object of research is the trust problem in the relations of the East and the West. The author in detail analyzes the phenomenon of trust, its principles and distinctive signs. Special attention is paid to conditions of formation of trust as on micro (between individuals) and at the macro level (between societies). The author connects the trust problem with a categorization "friend-or-foe", considered in the civilization aspect of the subject. Thus, the author in the research used the case study method and content analysis. The novelty of research consists in approach to understanding intensity between civilizations of the East and the West through a problem of the possibility of confidential relations between them. The author comes to a conclusion that in the modern international relations there is a paradoxical situation: the trust measure between the countries decreases, in volume time as it is possible to cope with new calls and threats only through consolidation of the world community on the basis of mutual trust.
