The historical expe-rience of relations between East and West is characterized by the apparent instability, confl ict and the presence of stereotypes. Successful standoff with the West by some Muslim polities, embarked in the early XXth century on its own path of nationalism and Islamic socialism, in the following years witnessed a dramatic transformation. The instability of the non-Muslim West, is the secret of the instability of the Islamic East. It is exposed to modernization impacts on the one hand and challenges of racial and religious discrimination, ethnic strife, social and political unrest on the other. Their interweaving creates destabilization in Eastern societies and at the same time strengthens the position of political Islam. Western attempts to ignore these processes underlie the formation of extremist ideological aspirations, which are used by the West in their irresponsible adventurous interests. ; Исторический опыт отношений по линии Восток-Запад характеризуется очевидной неустойчивостью, конфликтностью и наличием стереотипов. Довольно успешное противостояние Западу со стороны некоторых мусульманских политий, вставших в начале ХХ века на собственный путь национализма и мусульманского социализма, в последующие годы претерпевало сильнейшие трансформации. В нестабильности немусульманского Запада оказывается и секрет нестабильности исламского Востока. Он подвергается, как модернизационным воздействиям, так и вызовам расовой и религиозной дискриминации, национальной розни и социально-политическим волнениям. Их сплетение порождает дестабилизацию в восточных обществах и одновременно укрепляет позиции политического ислама. Попытки Запада игнорировать эти процессы лежат в основе образования экстремистских идеологических устремлений, которые используются силами на Западе в своих безответственно авантюрных интересах.

This article is devoted to English historian F.S. Northedge (1918-1985) and his role in the development conception of international society and English School of International relations in 1960-1980.

This school consists of small group of scientists and diplomats, who were well educated in elite British universities like Cambridge and Oxford. They were acquainted with each other personally. British Committee for the Theory of International Politics in 1960-1970 was the center for the study of International Society. Such composition of the school demonstrated aristocratic character of the International relations study as intellectual pursuit in United Kingdom. Meanwhile, such people like Charles Manning, Fred Northedge, Edward Carr and some other famous people, who usually were English School members, did not taken part in the British Committee due to different reasons.

Thus, F.S. Northedge was untypical participant of English school and his scientific heritage need to be studied. Key factors of his biography and his views on International Policy are studies in the article. "Diplomatic style", "System of the state" and "International society" were the central concepts in his works. He met with these ideas in the London School of economy, where Charles Manning, Martin Wight and Headley Bull – founders of English School - had worked at International relations chair in different time. The analysis of these categories let make conclusion that F. Northedge agreed with main ideas of English School of International relations. But at the same time he understood them very originally. His system of the views demonstrated that British Committee for the Theory of International Politics, but not London School of economy, was the main center for the development conception of International Society in 1960-1980.

This is a review of the second volume of A. Battler's "Mirology". The author presents a critical analysis of theories of international relations in Western, Japanese, Chinese, Soviet and Russian science. Battler's theoretical research focuses on the analysis of the problem of power in international relations, progress and agency. Special attention is paid to the political economy of international relations. ; В рецензии анализируется второй том работы А. Бэттлера «Мирология» (Бэттлер А. Мирология. Прогресс и сила в мировых отношениях. М. : ИТРК, 2015. Т. II. Борьба всех против всех. 672 с.). Отмечается авторский критический анализ теорий международных отношений в западной, японской, китайской, советской и российской науке. Центральное место в теоретической разработке самого А. Бэттлера занимает анализ проблемы силы в международных отношениях, прогресса и субъектности. Особое внимание уделяется политэкономии международных отношений.

The article provides an overview of international and Russian literature on the genesis and development of System Research in IR studies, demonstrates the emergence of System Research in Russia and in the world, the development of the general theory of systems. It is shown that at the fi rst stage, the representatives of natural sciences tried to identify the isomorphism between the international relations system and other systems (biological, physical). In this context, the attempts to form a general theory of international confl ict could be viewed. It is noted that at the beginning of the 1970s, these attempts ended unsuccessfully in general. The second area of international relations system modeling is related to the work of structural realists, primarily K. Waltz and M. Kaplan. Despite the fact that in their papers the verbal analysis dominates over the formal international relations system model, they have madea signifi cant contribution to the political science in perception of the systems theory. The paper also describes the system modeling in the context of the Neo-Marxist theory of international relations, fi rst and foremost, in the meaning of the I. Wallerstein's world-system theory. Special attention is paid to the systemic research crisis in the IR science at the turn of 1980-1990s, also due to a sharp change in the international situation, and the transition from a predominantly deterministic world of the Cold War to the post-bipolar non-equilibrium international system. The authors clearly reveal the evolution of the international relations perception in terms of the systems theory. They also illustrate the intensifi cation of the international system modeling in the XXIst century on the basis of a new methodology - via the use of the more sophisticated complexity theory (the theory of complex systems), as well as by adapting the sociological theory of structuration by A. Giddens in political sciences. Showing the most promising areas of the complexity theory practical application in the modeling of international relations - agentbased modeling and simulation of system dynamics, - the authors enumerate the most promising spheres for the system modeling in international studies.

Раздел "Международные отношения" ; В статье проанализировано влияние идей национализма на содержание и характер международных отношений в прошлом и настоящем. Автор подчеркивает, что в условиях глобализации не исчезают проявления национального самосознания. Наоборот, в разных регионах планеты, включая территорию бывшего СССР, проявляется стремление к поиску национальной идентичности в крайней форме, что может привести к фашизации политических систем в отдельных странах. Такие тенденции подрывают основы международной безопасности, поскольку в перспективе в мире могут появиться десятки новых государственных образований. К сожалению, современные международные институты не уделяют данной проблеме внимания, и процесс носит в основном стихийный характер. = The article analyzes the influence of nationalistic ideas on the content and character of international relations in the past and at present. The author emphasizes that the manifestations of national identity do not disappear under globalization. To the contrary, various regions of the planet including the former USSR territory, demonstrate intense search for national identity in extreme forms which can lead to political systems becoming fascist in some countries. Such trends undermine the basis of international security since they may result eventually in emergence of scores of new states. Unfortunately, contemporary institutions do not pay sufficient attention to these problems, so the process bears a spontaneous character.
