International and political aspects of the Internet development are analyzed in the article. The Internet is a key infrastructure of the emerging global information society. Based on the works by respected information society scholars, the effects of the Internet growth for international relations and world politics are generalized. Networked organization, transnational nature, accessibility and openness of the Internet contribute to the processes of globalization and trans-nationalization, increase international cooperation, and penetrability of state borders. Segmentation and marginalization of the societies is the response to the fast growth in the volumes of information available throughout the world. State borders, geographical divisions amplify new lines of divides in the information realm. Authoritarian states, such as China, Myanmar, Burma, Pakistan, filter information with the help of big internet companies, such as Yahoo and Google. Internet companies wish to gain access to the fast growing markets of these countries and thus are ready to provide authorities the confidential information of the users and block access to certain internet sites. Internet creates new divide between "information-wealthy" and "information-poor", which is the source of the new contradiction on the international arena. New forms of international conflicts, including information war, network wars, hacker attacks etc. are one of the negative results of the fast internet and information technologies development.At the same time development of information technology poses new challenges to international and national security, which can only be reduced through collective efforts of the international community.

La Russie n'échappe pas – sous la forme d'une «Russian disease» – aux aléas provoqués par un régime d'accumulation extraverti rentier construit autour du secteur des hydrocarbures : un taux de change ayant tendance à être surévalué, qui accélère la désindustrialisation. Depuis 2014 on observe une dégradation des conditions de l'insertion internationale de la Russie, notamment à cause des sanctions et contre-sanctions adoptées à la suite de l'annexion de la Crimée et de la conflictualité dans l'est de l'Ukraine. Les auteurs comparent le mode d'insertion internationale de deux types de secteurs, rentiers (hydrocarbures) et non rentiers (agro-indusriel et industrie des logiciels).

This Article uses a historical perspective as a basis to analyze the current state of labor and employment law in the United States. The Article first chronicles the decline in collective governance and the corresponding rise in the governmental regulation of the individual employment relation during the past 50 years, and attempts to ascertain the socio-economic forces contributing to this evolution. The Article then critiques the current state of workplace legal rules and finds a number of deficiencies in terms of both efficiency and equity. The Article pays particular attention to the impact of globalization and the resulting exacerbation in the imbalance of power between labor and capital. The Article concludes by making four recommendations for systemic law reform with an eye toward the development of new international norms in the areas of job security, collective bargaining, employee participation programs, and the legal status of the contingent workforce.
