Article is dedicated to analysis of international organizations and transnational unions in economic development of the three regions - European Union, Near East, Latin America. Process of economic and cultural integration, spreading throughout the last three decades, has led to emergence of the new social picture of the world in which inequality is seen not through separate societies but in global perspective - as the inequality between countries and regions. International organizations, that implement coordinating and integrating functions, are the core elements in understanding the process of transnational differentiation. ; Статья посвящена анализу роли межгосударственных организаций и транснациональных объединений в развитии экономического пространства трех регионов - Европейского союза, Ближнего Востока и Латинской Америки. Процесс экономической, политической и культурной интеграции, быстро развивающийся в последние три десятилетия, породил новую социальную картину мира, в которой проблема неравенства рассматривается не с точки зрения отдельных обществ, а с точки зрения глобальной перспективы - как неравенство между странами и регионами. Наднациональные организации, выполняющие координирующую и интегрирующую функции, являются центральными элементами в понимании процесса межгосударственной дифференциации.
The article presents a review of the monograph of Sun Ji-sheng et al. "Linguistics of International Political Relations: Theory and Practice" (Beijing, World Affairs Press Publishers, 2017. 584 pp.). The author of the monograph presents the description of linguistics of international relations as a new interdisciplinary field of scientific knowledge. The book under review is an academic study focusing on such aspects of the international political discourse as speech habits, narrative, intertextuality, interlingual equivalents, discursive strategies, conflict discourse, and strategies of teaching a foreign language. The monograph consists of introduction and twelve chapters. They deal with such urgent issues as manipulative discourse, securing of and support for hegemony via discursive means, creating identity on the international arena by discursive practices, hermeneutic aspects of interpretation of political speeches, influence of the language upon dissemination of international political norms, questions of political translation, management of the Internet sphere, and security hazards related to social opinion manipulation via spreading information across the Internet. Political linguistics generally treats language as a means of getting social dominance by some person or persons. ; В статье представлена рецензия на монографию, в которой автор предлагает описание лингвистики международных политических отношений как новой междисциплинарной области научного знания.
Прослеживается история возникновения и развития социологии международных отношений как самостоятельной науки. Особое внимание уделено вкладу русских ученых в становление социологии международных отношений. Отмечается, что предыстория русской школы данного научного направления берет начало еще в XIX в. в работах Н. И. Кареева, Л. И. Мечникова, а термин «социология международных отношений» введен в научный оборот русским исследователем В. Ю. Ключниковым в 1922 г. Рассматриваются различные точки зрения на социологию международных отношений. Авторская позиция заключается в том, что отрицать изучение мирополитических реалий с позиций социологии невозможно, поскольку общество может быть как международным, так и национальным. Проведен сравнительный анализ основных положений национальных (российской, китайской и западной) школ социологии международных отношений. Охарактеризованы три основные русские традиции в изучении международных отношений: западничество, державничество и третьеримство. Делается вывод о том, что в условиях кризиса вестфальской системы, а также нарастающей хаотизации и выхода на международную арену новых негосударственных акторов международные отношения все более социологизируются. = The article describes the history of the emergence and development of the sociology of international relations (SIR) as an independent science from the moment of its appearance to the present day. Special attention is paid to the contribution of Russian scientists to the development of the sociology of international relations. It is shown that the prehistory of the Russian school of sociology of international relations dates back to the 19th century in the works of N. Kareev, L. Mechnikov, and the term «sociology of international relations» was first introduced into scientific circulation by the Russian researcher V. Klyuchnikov in 1922. Different points of view on the sociology of international relations are considered. The author's position is that it is impossible to deny the study of world political realities from the standpoint of sociology, since society can be international in the same way as the national one. A comparative analysis of the main provisions of national (Russian, Chinese and Western) schools of international relations was conducted. Special attention is paid to the domestic school of sociology of international relations. Three major Russian tradition in the study of international relations – Westernism, Great power nationalism and Treterimstvo are characterized. It is concluded that under the crisis of the Westphalian system, increasing chaos and enter of new non-state actors on the international arena, international relations are increasingly sociological.
The concept of sovereignty is not defined by international law. It does not stand alone in the United Nations Charter but as sovereign equality. This is reflected in the principle of sovereign equality proclaimed by the Charter. In legal terms, all countries are equal and in this sense sovereign. This approach distinguishes the legal concept of sovereignty from political or economic concepts which refer to the realities of the balance of power. In international law, sovereignty is synonymous with international and legal subjectivity. The subjects of international law are sovereign states primarily. States have the ability to be the subject of international law and obligations through the independent execution of state competences. Sovereignty also means the transfer of own powers to international organizations resulting from our own will. Sovereignty cannot justify violations of international law by states. However, states sometimes try to invoke their sovereignty to justify violations of international law. In the international aspect, the restriction of the freedom decision of the states results from: the subordination of states to generally recognized principles of international law, from the provisions of international agreements to which a given country is a party, from the resolutions of international organizations to which a given country belongs, if in the light of the organization's statutes they are law-making. There is no doubt that the concept of sovereignty is an important subject of research in the humanities and social sciences.
Labor is one of the production factors in the Economics and in the International Trade Theory. According to the theoreticians Labor was condisdered immobile in the international trade, and therefore labor-rich countries had a comparative advantage in manufacturing and trading the labor-intensive products. After the Versailles Treaty in 1919, ILO has been established and developed the Principles of Rights at Work in 1998, which was the first step to protection of labor rights [3]. In the Declaration of Fundamental middle of the 20th Century, industrialized countries with the Labor deficiency started inviting the workers from less developed countries. This approach opened the migration of the workers from less developed and developing countries to industrialized countries. Although the Migration stem from the economic, political, social and cultural reasons from the archaic centuries, today's migration based on similar reasons creates positive impacts on the economic development and international trade. The immigrants earn higher wages with the new jobs at the host countries, even they develop further investment projects in the host countries and the original countries. With the help of Migration both countries' people reach up to a higher level of welfare, and the Balance of Payment deficits of both countries are being improved. The impact of migration is not only economic, but also world peace and friendship among the peoples are being improved, too.Key words: migration, immigrants, migrants, migrant remmittances, international trade, economic development, balance of payments, production factors.
The article covers creation of a special political entity in Northwest Africa – the International zone of Tangier – in 1923-1925 as well as implementation of the international zone statute. Analyzing the experience of the Tangier international administration reveals complexity of the international structure formation in conditions of conflicts and even confrontation between the great and regional powers ; Статья посвящена созданию особого политического образования в Северо-Западной Африке – международной зоны Танжер в 1923–1925 гг. и введению в действие статута международной зоны. Анализ опыта международного управления Танжером показывает сложности формирования международных структур в условиях противоречий и даже противостояния великих и региональных держав
By the late-1950s, Soviet oil exports to Western Europe caused widespread concern in a number of Western countries as these feared that Moscow could use oil to weaken their economic interests. At the same time though, other Western countries had no hesitation in developing trade relations with the Soviets, seeing this as a good commercial opportunity. The paramount example of such political nonchalance was Italy's oil company, ENI. In 1960, ENI signed a barter contract with the Soviets, causing a scandal in the Western oil world: the Italian company's act was seen as a serious breach of faith by its international allies. As a consequence, ENI's contract became a serious bone of contention in the country's bilateral and international relations. This paper analyzes the origins and development of the ENI-Soviet deal, and focuses on the reactions of Italy's Western allies and the debate it generated at the European Economic Community. ; В конце 1950-х гг. поставки нефти из СССР в Западную Европу вызвали озабоченность в некоторых европейских странах, которые опасались, что Москва может использовать нефть в целях ослабления их экономических интересов. Однако наряду с этим, другие европейские страны продолжали поддерживать торговые отношения с Советским Союзом, считая их перспективными. Ярким примером такой политической беспечности стала итальянская нефтяная компания ENI (Национальное нефтегазовое учреждение). В 1960 г. она подписала с СССР соглашение о товарообмене, чем вызвала скандал на европейском нефтяном рынке: международные союзники восприняли действия итальянской компании как измену. В результате контракт ENI стал камнем преткновения в двусторонних и многосторонних отношениях Италии с другими странами. В статье рассматриваются предпосылки и этапы развития сотрудничества ENI и СССР, при этом особое внимание уделяется изучению реакции западных союзников Италии и споров, которые это событие вызвало в Европейском экономическом сообществе.
Education is a powerful soft power instrument. By studying the educational programmes Erasmus, CIS Network University and SCO University, International educational programs in the EU and post-Soviet space: present and future enables a better understanding of the role of academic mobility in supporting political cooperation in the European and Eurasian region. Furthermore, this book is the first comparative study of the Erasmus programme with CIS Network University and SCO University, two educational programmes inspired to Erasmus Mundus, aimed at strengthening the academic mobility of Russia with former Soviet countries and China.r
The review is dedicated to the results of the international conference on the theme "Uzbekistan in the context of regional security and global changes", which was held on November 7-8, 2019 in Tashkent. The organizers were the University of World Economy and Diplomacy under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan together with the international scientific project COMPASS (Great Britain). During the two-day discussions, international experts discussed a wide range of issues, including large-scale reforms in Uzbekistan, integration processes in Central Asia, issues of security and sustainable development. They noted that today A new political atmosphere is being formed in Central Asia, contributing to the solution of acute regional problems and the further rapprochement of states. The catalyst for these processes is the dynamic and open regional policy of Uzbekistan. During the conference, much attention was paid to security in the region and a peaceful settlement in Afghanistan. In particular, experts emphasized significant changes in the approach of Uzbekistan to Afghanistan, which is expressed in the intensification of bilateral relations, as well as the active assistance of the Uzbek side in achieving peace and stability in Afghanistan.
During the Bulgarian Revival Period, in a time of increasing national awareness and struggles for political and spiritual liberation, the number of scientific articles is on the increase. Some favourable conditions for language interaction are established, conditions to form a pool of words that can be used internationally. Internationalisms enrich the general vocabulary of European languages and are the primary core, a possible future lexical unification of languages. Marin Drinov was one of the first Bulgarian scholars to continue and enrich the Revival tradition by developing the problems of the literary language on a scientific basis. In the article analyses the international vocabulary in Marin Drinov's works.Once a reference to the archive from the Revival Period is made, it can be ascertained that Marin Drinov was the first among his contemporaries to use a number of words that belong to the international vocabulary like genesis, graphics, interpunction, restoration, strategy, etc. He is credited with the creative enrichment of the socio-political vocabulary, as many words from the lexical system of language acquire new shades of meaning, includingnew political meaning and new functional importance. The vocabulary used in his scientific andliteraryworks is, to a great degree, part of the entire Bulgarian literary fund of that period, and it is an indicator of the dynamics and the development of the socio-political vocabulary that is its main constituent. The analysis of the internationalisms in Marin Drinov's works outlines his practical contribution to the generative processes in the vocabulary of the Bulgarian language, to its Europeanisation and modernization. ; През епохата на Възраждането с бързото развитие на националното самосъзнание и борбата за духовно и политическо освобождение се увеличава броят на научните публикации. Създават се благоприятни условия за езиково взаимодействие, за обособяване на един фонд от думи, които имат международна употреба. Интернационализмите обогатяват общия речников състав на европейските езици и се явяват първичното ядро за възможна бъдеща лексикална унификация на езиците. Марин Дринов е един от първите български учени, който продължава и обогатява възрожденската традиция, като разработва на научна основа проблемите на книжовния език. В доклада се анализира интернационалната лексика в произведенията на Марин Дринов. При справка с Възрожденския архив установяваме, че Марин Дринов пръв сред своите съвременници употребява редица думи от интернационалната лексика като генезис, графика, интерпункция, реставрация, стратегия и др. Той има заслуги за творческото обогатяване на интернационалната лексика, като много думи от лексикалната система на езика придобиват нова оценъчност, окраска, ново политическо съдържание, нова функционална значимост. Лексиката, използвана в научните и публицистичните му съчинения, в преобладаващата си част е от общонародния книжовен фонд на българския език от този период и е показател за динамиката и развитието на обществено-политическата лексика, която е съществена негова съставка. Изследването на интернационализмите в произведенията на Марин Дринов очертава неговата практична заслуга за градивните процеси в устройството на българската лексика, за нейната европеизация и осъвременяване.
The role of war in the evolution of human society, the change of its scale. It is shown that the decline in morals and the growth of cynicism in international political relations in comparison with the past, led to non-compliance with the rules of warfare developed by the international community. The dependence of small States on the military confrontation of the key players in international politics, which turned the world into a single geostrategic space, is substantiated. ; Рассмотрена роль войны в эволюции человеческого общества, изменение ее масштабов. Показано, что падение нравов и рост цинизма в международных политических отношениях в сравнении с прошлым привело к несоблюдению выработанных международным сообществом правил ведения войн. Обоснована зависимость малых государств от военной конфронтации ключевых игроков международной политики, превративших мир в единое геостратегическое пространство.
At present, the speed and scale of the dissemination of false health information has increased significantly, due to the Internet and social networks, which has become a serious problem and challenge for the worlds public health systems. The issue of spreading implausible news has become most acute against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since February 2020, the World Health Organization has introduced the term infodemiс, which characterizes the rapid growth of unreliable and false reports of a pandemic by analogy with the spread of the virus. The purpose of this article is to study the issues of the emergence and ways of spreading misinformation about health, to consider approaches for taking effective response measures in the conditions of infodemiс. The article was prepared using a systematic review of research publications based on strict selection criteria in the bibliographic databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, as well as online resources that addressed the issues of dissemination and countering false information in the field of healthcare. Countering disinformation needs to be done through correcting information, purposeful refutations based on evidence, implementing initiatives to improve the media literacy of the population, as well as by improving the supervision of social networks. Coordinated interaction between governmental and international organizations, the scientific community, the media, and global Internet social media platforms is crucial in this process. ; В настоящее время скорость и масштабы распространения недостоверной и ложной информации о здоровье существенно выросли благодаря Интернету и социальным сетям, что стало серьезной проблемой и вызовом для мировых систем общественного здравоохранения. Вопрос распространения неправдоподобных новостей встал наиболее остро на фоне пандемии COVID-19. Всемирная организация здравоохранения в феврале 2020 г. ввела термин инфодемия, характеризующий стремительный рост недостоверных и ложных сообщения о пандемии по аналогии с распространением вируса. Цель данной статьи изучить вопросы возникновения и пути распространения дезинформации о здоровье, рассмотреть подходы для принятия эффективных мер реагирования в условиях инфодемии. При подготовке статьи использовался систематический обзор публикаций исследований на основе строгих критериев отбора в библиографических базах данных PubMed, ScienceDirect, а также интернет-ресурсов, в которых рассматривались вопросы распространения и противодействия недостоверной информации в сфере здравоохранения. Противодействие дезинформации необходимо осуществлять с помощью коррекции информации, целенаправленных опровержений, основанных на фактических данных, реализации инициатив по повышению медиаграмотности населения, а также путем совершенствования надзора над социальными сетями. Важнейшая роль в этом процессе отводится скоординированному взаимодействию между правительственными и международными организациями, научным сообществом, средствами массовой информации и глобальными интернет-платформами социальных сетей.
In article is considered integration of Donetsk People's Republic into the international political and economic system. Sabotaging Minsk agreements, the Kiev government creates favorable conditions for the international recognition of the Republic. Major social and economic confrontation between the Ukrainian power and the leaders of the unrecognized republic can't can break off systematic rounds of the Minsk Agreement with participation of foreign observers. In article the author reveals possible ways of recognition by the international community of Donetsk People's Republic. ; В статье рассматривается попытка интеграци Донецкой Народной Республики в международную политико-экономическую систему. Саботируя Минские соглашений, киевское правительство создаёт благоприятные условия для международного признания Республики. Острое социально-экономическое противостояние между украинской властью и руководством непризнанной республики не могут разорвать систематические раунды Минских соглашений с участием иностранных наблюдателей. В статье автор выявляет возможные пути признания международным сообществом Донецкой Народной Республики.
The article is devoted to the changing role of culture in international relations, which is analysed through the concept of "soft power". The investigated transformations of the concept of culture were examined on the basis of an analysis of documents and activities of the European Union. The main priorities of the EU in the development of international cultural relations are highlighted. Further, proceeding from world political trends and the general geopolitical situation, the author analyzes the relatively new structural elements of the concept of culture, namely: cultural security, cultural conflict, cultural war. It is concluded that culture becomes a hybrid construct; and "soft power" becomes not only an instrument of external influence and "advancement" of the state in the international arena, but also acquires "defensive" functions.Key words: cultural security, cultural conflict, "soft power", public diplomacy, EU. ; Статья посвящена рассмотрению изменения роли культуры на современном этапе развития международных отношений сквозь призму понятия «мягкая сила». Исследуемые трансформации концепта культуры были рассмотрены на основе анализа документов и деятельности Европейского союза. Выделяются основные приоритеты ЕС в развитии международных культурных отношений. Далее, исходя из мировых политических тенденций и общей геополитической ситуации, автор анализирует относительно новые структурные элементы концепта культуры, а именно: культурная безопасность, культурный конфликт, культурная война. Делается вывод о том, что культура становится гибридным конструктом, а «мягкая сила» становится не только инструментом внешнего воздействия и «продвижения» государства на международной арене, но и приобретает «оборонительные» функции.Ключевые слова: культурная безопасность, культурный конфликт, «мягкая сила», публичная дипломатия, ЕС.
He necessity of language that would be spoken by all the people in the world, has existed in all times. As a common language that has developed naturally, does not exist, then the world developed the idea of creating an artificial international language, which, among other things, could perform a unifying function. The article discusses the concept of "language" and "artificial language", provides definitions of these concepts, also considers the causes of these concepts and provides an overview of the various artificial languages. The relevance of this work lies in the fact that at the moment of development of our society there is a need to create common language, the purpose of which would be international negotiations or settlement of international conflicts and other political, economic and cultural activities. It is also possible to increase interest in such science of language as interlinguistics, and as a result, further development of linguistics as a whole thing. At the moment there are about five hundred artificial languages, but only a few of them are more or less suitable for real communication. The aim of this work is to investigate the role of artificial international languages within the framework of modern culture and modern society. The objectives of this article: to reveal the very notion of language; to select the types of artificial languages; to give the description of each of the most well-known international artificial languages. In the article we have used the following research methods: analysis, synthesis, and abstracting. ; Потребность в языке, на котором бы говорили все люди в мире, существовала во все времена. Так как единого языка, который развился бы естественным образом, не существует, то в мире возникла идея создания искусственного международного универсального языка, который, помимо всего прочего, выполнял бы объединяющую функцию. В статье рассматриваются понятия «язык» и «искусственный язык», даются определения этих понятий, также рассматриваются причины возникновения данных понятий и дается обзор различных искусственных языков. Актуальность данной работы заключается в том, что на данный момент развития нашего общества существует потребность в создании единого языка, целью которого могли бы стать международные переговоры, либо урегулирование международных конфликтов и ряда других политических, экономических и культурных мероприятий. Также возможно возрастание интереса к такой науке о языке как интерлингвистика, и как следствие, дальнейшего развития языкознания в целом. На данный момент в мире существуют около пятисот искусственных языков, но лишь немногие из них более или мене пригодны для реального общения. Цель данной работы - исследовать роль искусственных международных языков в рамках современной культуры и современного общества. 3адачи данной статьи следующие: раскрыть само понятие языка; выделить виды искусственных языков; дать характеристику каждому из наиболее известных международных искусственных языков. В статье нами были использованы следующие методы научного исследования: анализ, обобщение, реферирование.
