The peculiarities of the policy of contemporary Jordan in light of shortages of natural resources and problems of a socio-economic nature include stimulation of the research and development sector, as well as the creation of an effective innovation system. The purpose of the article is to conceptualize the priorities, main directions, forms and results of the European Union's assistance to scientific, technological and innovative development of Jordan since 2010s. The study reveals the synergy of EU assistance in the implementation of Jordan's policy to strengthen its competitiveness in the field of science, technology and innovation in the form of programs and projects at the multilateral and bilateral level. The article substantiates the conclusion about the contradictory nature of the results of this assistance. While it increases the research potential of Jordan, the EU is not interested in integrating the country into global value chains. This leads to a slowdown in its economic development and simultaneously to a slowdown in the development of the national innovation system due to the lack of effective commercialisation of knowledge and technologies in the national and international markets. Jordan's integration into the European Research Area involves solving a number of problems, for example, participation in the process of establishing priorities for regional cooperation in science and technology.

The paper assesses restrictive measures in the field of international scientific cooperation. The authors consider unilateral sectoral «science sanctions» as a large-scale phenomenon in modern international relations; analyze how the internationally recognized human right to science is ensured under sanctions conditions; substantiate a new direction of human rights activities. It is concluded that anti-Russian restrictive measures in the field of international scientific cooperation violate the basic right to science. The conclusion is formulated that scientific institutions become active subjects of extraterritorial violations of this right. The complication of the sanctions regime in the scientific sphere, including the introduction of horizontal and vertical restrictive measures, indicates the use of science for geopolitical purposes. The novelty of the study lies in the conceptualization of the deformations of the international legal order in the field of human rights as a result of the negative consequences of unilateral restrictive measures in the field of science.

The study examines the one of the dramatic collisions of international technology transfer, such as the tension between aims of technology transfer, on the one hand, and protection of intellectual property rights (IPRs), on the other hand. Authors review comprehensively the dual role of intellectual property (IP) in the international technology transfer and strive to address some of issues concerning the essence of global complex policy in area of technology transfer and of the IPR protection based on international legal instruments. The present study also deals with analysis of directions of the politics of international law in appropriate area. Authors have stressed that is important to understand that efforts of the world society to establish the international regime of technology transfer on fair and equitable terms during last 50 years presume that this regime is in conjunction with issues on the protection of IPRs. Finally, the intersecting of mission of internationally transferred technologies and aims of the IPRs protection demands a new steps of international cooperation designed to reconcile the interests of various groups of countries, interests of right holders and users of technologies. The basis of possible reconciliation is numerous provisions of international legal instruments providing for the balanced relation between perspectives of technological progress of society and interest of holders of exclusive rights.

Introduction. The purpose of the article is to consider the specifics of the approach to religious and mystical experience in the psychoanalytic tradition from the point of view of revealing the degree of its interdisciplinarity. Theoretical analysis. Using the methods of critical philosophical reflection and dialectical logic, as well as relying on the principle of development, the authors analyze the emergence of the figure of a "psychoanalytic mystic", going in the direction of overcoming the antithesis of the scientific nature of psychoanalytic theory and the non-scientific nature of religious and mystical phenomena. At the same time, special attention is focused on the factors of interdisciplinary interaction that contributed to the meaningful renewal of psychoanalysis. Conclusion. The logic of the study led to the conclusion that interdisciplinarity manifested itself not simply in borrowing, but in the germination of religious and mystical, and along with them, esoteric elements of spiritual practice within the framework of theory and practice of psychoanalysis.
