In this article, the ''Cold War'' is understood as a situation where the relationship between the leading States is determined by ideological confrontation and, at the same time, the presence of nuclear weapons precludes the development of this confrontation into a large-scale armed conflict. Such a situation has developed in the years 1945–1989, during the first Cold War. We see that something similar is repeated in our time-with all the new nuances in the ideological struggle and in the nuclear arms race.

The article analyzes the trends of the development of contemporary journalistic investigation in the context of the new media development. The methodology for researching the topic of the paper includes such methods: analysis, generalization, classification, comparison. The study results in the statement that the journalistic investigation is a synthetic genre, because of combining the elements of interviewing, analysis, synthesis, chronicle, reporting. The main purpose of the investigative journalist is to provide the community with facts that are important but not well-researched, social, political, and economic issues that have not previously been made public and can affect a large number of people. The process of transforming the journalistic investigation takes place through a multimedia platform and contemporary forms of information provision. Journalists of "Bigus. Info" are outside of the traditional media and provide information to interact with interactive maps, video evidence, long rides and thus increase the audience. Multimedia is a prerequisite for the promotion of the original content of «Bigus. Info». Also it contributes to a wide resonance. The fact of setting material in social networks as well as blogs contributes to its personalization, and gives the reader the opportunity not only to follow the course of events and their results, but also to suggest the topic itself for investigation. The scientific novelty is in the fact that multimedia platforms help journalists make their research more interactive. The practical significance is implemented in the possibility to consider the peculiarities of the genre of journalistic investigation in the conditions of modern technology development.
Introduction. The new regionalism paradigm formation in Ukraine requires further research and substantiation of its theoretical and methodological principles, including the establishment of the classification features of the new regionalism.Purpose. The purpose of the article is to establish the classification features of the new regionalism; for this purpose, various scholars clarified the classification features of regionalism and the reasons for the emergence of a new regionalism were identified.Methods. In order to find out the classification features of the new regionalism, general scientific methods of research and special methods of scientific knowledge were used, namely dialectical, monographic, analysis and synthesis, as well as a systematic approach.Results. The article clarifies the classification features of regionalism. It was established that E. Harrel considers regionalism at the same time as a certain special relationship of regions with the world economy and as a policy, classifying it divides into five varieties, namely: regionalization, regional awareness and identity, regional intergovernmental cooperation, state regional integration and regional consolidation. B. Hettne, using the macro-approach, sees in regionalism the positioning of the region in the world economy, which in its further development may lead to multi-regionalism in the form of a new structure of the world economy, and considers regionalism from three positions: the measurement of the region, the evaluation of actors, the level of the region. M. Kitting gives a more branched classification of new regionalism, singling out the six main "ideal" forms of regionalism: conservative, "bourgeois", modernist, progressive, populist, and separatist regionalism, which gives a clear idea of regionalism that can be manifested in conservatism and separatism, and also have a "golden mean" in the form of progressive regionalism. The article substantiates the reasons for the emergence of a new regionalism.Originality. Because of the research, further development of the scientific and methodological principles of a new regionalism classification using the system approach, which gave the opportunity to identify the main causes of the emergence of new regionalism.Conclusions. The definition of the classification features of regionalism has made it possible to establish that new regionalism should be viewed not as a process but as a phenomenon and to justify the reasons for the emergence of a new regionalism. The various approaches to the classification of regionalism substantiate the existence of a large number of interpretations of the "regionalism" concept's essence and different views of scholars. It has been established that regionalism must be divided into economic and political regionalism, as well as distinguish between regionalism and new regionalism.

In the last thirty years we witnessed to a number of relevant innovations and changes. Some of them belong to the information technology domain and parts of them were the reason why the IT domain became the ICT domain. In order to better understand problems and issues related to education and learning it is useful to outline some of the most relevant achievements and milestones in the technological domain. If we focus on the European approach to the spread of information technology termed in the '90ies "Information Society" we can find initiatives such as i2015 the EU policy framework for the information society and media for the 1 next decade and, at global level, the WSIS+10 a ten years activity aimed to draw the guidelines for an harmonious and fruitful development of the information society. It promotes the positive contribution that information and communication technologies can make to the economy, society and personal quality of life. Everyone experienced in "ICT based innovation" knows that "It is not only a matter of technology". Of course technology advances are one of the potential actors as in the case of the diffusion of personal computing or easy access to digital networking. Anyway different parameters are actively influencing e-Services success or failure: cultural aspects, organisational issues, bureaucracy and workflow, infrastructure and technology in general, user's habits, literacy, capacity, market models, interaction design or merely mind-set! Before looking in detail how all these aspects are impacting on education and learning let's take into account some additional relevant aspects.

The nature of cooperation regularly changes under pressure from new calls and threats between the actors of international relations. By means of system analysis and comparison methods, the article discloses the basic theoretical approaches to understanding of the "new world order" phenomenon, which as a result turns into a comprehensive globalization. The article summarizes the modern trends of forming the XXI century international reality, taking into account new actors, their influence on stability and variability of the imperious systems, and analyzes in detail the concepts of modern scientists who form an international discourse on the search for a new paradigm of world order. The study identifies the main characteristics of the world order – legitimacy, the mechanism of change and balance of power. The key shortcomings of the post-war world order have been identified, which include the lack of effectiveness of international organizations at various levels in ensuring the principle of sovereignty for states, respect for borders; imbalance of economic growth between nations; lack of effective sanctions against violators of international law and ensuring the universal rights of citizens; discredited democratic political model, which was recognized as dominant in the post-bipolar era, and so on. Accordingly, there were considered modern approaches to a "new world order" formation, as a result of which it was proposed to take into account the new realities of interdependence that determine the future peaceful coexistence of nations – a balance between freedom of national actors action and international law; balance between legitimacy and power; balance between "regional order" and "international". In general, the international discourse on the search for the "new world order" boundaries is common in the construction of the XXI century multipolar world, the importance of consensus between nations and the legitimacy of new rules for all actors in international relations.
