FEATURES OF INTEGRATION OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES IN THE FIELD OF CIVIL AVIATION: POLITICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS
The article analyzes the origins and stages of development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which in recent decades have significantly evolved from the sphere of military use to an independent and promising branch of civil aviation. It is noted that the results achieved in their production are largely due to a wide range of areas in which drones replace traditional aviation in a number of positions due to their relative cheapness of manufacturing and operation. At the same time, experts agree that the emergence of new and original technological solutions in their production often outstrips the efforts of lawmakers, leading to further changes in the political and legal conditions for the use of UAVs, which in the next decade will become equal to the manned aircraft.
Key words: unmanned aerial vehicles, areas of application of civil UAVs, Arctic space, legislative regulation.

APPROACHES TO STUDYING AND MODELING CLANS AS A FACTOR OF A POLITICAL SYSTEM
This work is devoted to identifying common and specific features of the emergence and functioning of political clans in various countries of the world. The authors confirm the findings of some researchers that the political clan is a kind of informal political actors of the closed type, formed on the basis of personal loyalty to the leader and common material interests of members of the Association. Clannishness is not conditioned by a particular socio-political regime or economic model. However, the structure of clans is determined by the level of economic development and existing socio-political institutions. The primitive organization of the economy and the lack of developed socio-political institutions cause the archaization of clans, their transformation into associations of blood relatives up to a partial return to tribal relations. In particular, regional clans are characterized by a high level of identity of the model of their organization, which is manifested in the dynastic scheme of inheritance of power and a direct relationship between the hierarchical position of a member of the organization and the degree of his blood relationship with the leader.

FACTORS OF SUCCESS OF THE «NEW PEOPLE» PARTY DURING THE 2020 REGIONAL ELECTIONS IN RUSSIA
The triumphant success of the New People party in the regional elections on September 13, 2020 makes the question of the reasons for supporting such a young player in the political arena urgent. The “new people” managed not only to outstrip the relatively recently formed political associations, but also to compete with those parties that have been part of the State Duma for several decades. In a number of regions, in particular, in Novosibirsk, Ryazan, Kostroma and Kaluga, “New People” managed to achieve a significant advantage over the parties “For Truth” and “Green Alternative”. This allowed the leader of the young political association A. Nechaev to speak with confidence about the need for the party to participate in the upcoming elections in 2021.
In this article, on the basis of a comparative analysis, the most significant factors that influenced the success of the «New People» party in the elections were identified September 13, 2020 The author analyzes the role of these factors, ranging from a well-developed text of the political program of the party, addressed to various categories of citizens, and ending with the appearance of candidates, close to the appearance of ordinary citizens. Based on the results of the study, an important conclusion is drawn that the «New People» party has succeeded in fulfilling the population's request for renewing the composition of the State Duma and changing the political course.
Key words: regional elections, political parties, «New People», factors of political success, elections on September 13, 2020.

PRIMARIES AS A PR TOOL FOR MOBILIZING CITIZENS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE ELECTORAL PROCESS
In conditions of low turnout, the process of political mobilization is of particular importance. In modern society, political mobilization is carried out by various technologies, mainly mediated, involving a manipulative effect on mass groups. Mobilization technologies are a purposeful, systemically organized activity to organize, coordinate and consolidate the public to achieve specific political goals, carried out mainly through PR, mass media and social networks, designed to achieve a quick and maximum effect with given resources. The main feature of mobilization technologies is their focus on the future. A prerequisite is that the mobilized have a rational calculation, convincingly proving that the losses are significantly less than the gains and ideology that makes rational arguments already insignificant. The purpose of mobilization technologies is to induce the population to take action or inaction. At the same time, they can have both a constructive character, that is, harmonize relations between the authorities and society, and a destructive one, introducing discord into social and political relations.
Key words: candidate, elections, primaries, mobilization of citizens, mobilization technologies, election campaign, political party, preliminary voting.

POLITICAL PROCESSES OF THE DIGITAL AGE: INTERDISCIPLINARY SYNTHESIS
Relevance. World development proceeds on the verge of chaos – the tendency that is facilitated by the high coherence of political systems (probability of cascade effects) and the sensitivity of political processes to initial conditions (“butterfly effect”). Political processes are mediated by digital technologies that affect the stability of the order parameters of socio-political systems, as well as direction and speed of changes. In these conditions, interdisciplinary research is relevant, allowing to invite representatives of different research fields to dialogue for theoretical and practical recommendations on how to increase the resilience of political entities to shocks of various origins.
The aim of the study is to analyze the patterns of political development in the digital age. The following tasks are highlighted: to provide an overview of philosophical reflections as a basis for the current development stage of political structures; to elaborate terms conceptualizing political participation and political relations.
The work uses the method of interdisciplinary synthesis, which makes it possible to conduct research at the intersection of philosophy, political science and synergetics.
Results. Digital age affects the dynamics of authority delegation in hierarchical systems, significantly accelerating their homeostasis and challenging order parameters operating in such systems. As to horizontal ties, the digital age creates opportunities for unification based on the principle of interest in common good. At the state level, digital technologies can be used as a means of control and deterrence.
Conclusion. In the context of uncertainty, it is necessary to turn to philosophy as an analytical tool for deconstructing complex reality. The transition to the metalevel can be constructive for political sciences, since it opens them up for dialogue with related scientific areas. In the process of such interaction, there emerge “trading zones” (Galison), in which applied new knowledge is produced.
Key words: authority delegation, digital age, Internet, philosophy of politics, political morphogenesis, political participation, political system.

CIVIL SOCIETY AS AN ASPECT OF MODERN POLITICAL CULTURE IN RUSSIA
The article examines the development of civil society in modern Russia not only from the point of view of the problem of its formation, but also substantiates that civil society is an indicator of the country's political culture. The author also notes that political culture by its nature can exist in any political regime, while civil society, on the contrary, depends on it. Its fullness is revealed only under a democratic regime; in the rest, only its partial elements are possible. The prospects for the development of civil society in Russia are largely dependent on the state. Although from a historical point of view, civil society is manifested from below by the people, and not from above by the authorities. The specificity of its manifestation and development in Russia can be taken as a necessary component of the idea of building a legal state. Despite the existing problems within the state, which became most obvious in connection with the pandemic, civil society in Russia, as the author emphasizes, is no longer a ripe sprout, but a ramified manifestation of the growing interest of citizens in protecting their personal interests, which is expressed by an increase in the number of public organizations. Thus, a positive dynamics of assimilation of the political culture of a democratic country emerges, since civil society is undoubtedly one of the components of its structure.
Key words: civil society, political culture, rule of law, democracy, political regime, legal system, public organizations, political participation, traditions, corruption.

PECULIARITIES OF THE VALUE STRUCTURE OF YOUTH IN MODERN RUSSIAN SOCIETY
The article analyzes the structure of values of young people in Russia and compares it with other population groups based on data from the all-Russian sociological study conducted in the spring of 2019 in 22 regions of the Russian Federation. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research is a generalized approach to measuring the values of Rokich and Schwartz. The concept of political culture proposed by R. Inglehart is used to describe the type of society with which a certain structure of values correlates. He distinguishes between "materialists" and "post-materialists" depending on their value orientations. Russian society has remained mostly "materialistic" in its type, but belonging to different generations is an important factor in value changes. Young people still have traditional values that are characteristic of "materialists", related to the importance of family, material prosperity, and security. At the same time, «post-materialistic» values appear in the overall structure: the desire for comfort, creativity, and freedom.
Key words: values, value orientations, youth, modernization process, modern Russian society.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FORMS OF GOVERNMENT AND ETHNIC CONFLICTS: STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Ethnic conflicts are a topical subject of research for the political science. Modern political scientists are looking for an answer to the question of how to avoid and mitigate ethnic conflicts. Within the framework of the neo-institutional approach, this issue is narrowed down to the search for the optimal institutional structure that prevents and mitigates ethnic conflicts. The purpose of our research was to find out the degree of relationship between the form of government and ethnic conflicts. To do this, we conducted a statistical analysis using databases on forms of government, ethnic conflicts, and political regimes. The results of the analysis showed that in non-democratic countries, the form of government does not affect the intensity of ethnic conflictsв. At the same time, in the group of democratic countries, we can talk about a weak correlation between these two variables. Further research on the impact of political institutions on ethnic conflicts should use a broader time horizon for analysis and focus on a larger number of cases.
Key words: ethnic conflict, form of government, presidential system, parliamentary system, political institution, conflict management, conflict resolution.

SANCTIONS POLICY OF THE WORLD'S LEADING COUNTRIES AGAINST THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: THREATS AND MAIN AREAS OF COUNTERACTION
The article is devoted to the study of the essence and structure of the modern sanctions policy of the leading countries of the world in relation to the Russian Federation, including through the prism of threats and the main directions of counteraction. The problem of sanctions and counter-sanctions as a political tool used by the United States, the European Union and Russia in the period from 2013 to the present time is considered by the author through the prism of social conflictology. The author proves the thesis that the restrictive measures taken by the leading countries of the world in 2020 lose the protective and regulatory functions originally laid down in the notion of sanctions. The priority functions of the sanctions today are creation and/or expansion of conflicts (sanctions result in a conflict and (or) act as a source or catalyst of a conflict). This, according to the author, may cause increased geopolitical tensions and, as a result, threaten the sovereignty of countries that are survive in the international “ecosystem of sanctions.”
Key words: policy of sanctions, anti-Russian sanctions, counter-sanctions, sanction conflict, geopolitical tension, sovereignty.

YOUTH AS A PROMISING RESOURCE FOR RUSSIAN-BELARUSIAN INTEGRATION
The article presents the results of research on the perception of Belarusian and Russian students of each other's national characteristics and the formation of the image of both countries in their minds. Modern relations between the two Slavic countries of Russia and the Republic of Belarus are at a new stage of development, which consists in creating a single Union state. The level of mutual understanding between two independent States largely depends on how well the younger generations understand each other's national character, value priorities and worldview positions of their peers living in the neighboring country. The problems of establishing mutual understanding among young people are complicated by the fact that both countries are heirs of the common Soviet past, but they are experiencing certain difficulties in the process of its modernization. On the other hand, representatives of the Zet generation, born at the turn of the Millennium, form their own values and development guidelines, which also affects the search for mutual understanding between the two countries.
Key words: country image, self-identification, autostereotypes, heterostereotypes, student youth.

ANALYSIS OF THE REASONS FOR UNSUCCESSFUL BORROWING OF BEST POLICY AND LEGAL INSTITUTIONAL EXPERIENCE COUNTRIES OF AFRICA AND LATIN AMERICA
Today, the success of states in the world arena largely depends on the effectiveness of functioning political and legal institutions, largely guaranteeing the success of modernization. However, the best practices of institution building are not always the guarantor of social stability and evolution. The article, continuing the author's series of works on the study of institutional orders around the world, examines the reasons for the failures of transferring the Western experience of political and legal construction in Africa and Latin America. The history of the liberation of regions from colonial influence is considered. The examples are shown, according to which the reasons are identified that make it difficult to transfer the best practices of political and legal institutional transformations.
Key words: political and legal institutions, periphery, state, Africa, Latin America, institutional transformations.

CHILE AND THE PACIFIC ALLIANCE: NEW VECTORS OF INTERACTION
The article analyzes the General prospects of interaction between the Republic of Chile and the Pacific Alliance. Considering these figures, the author of the article emphasizes the importance of integration trends in the whole Latin American region for their sustainable development and resistance to the challenges of the time. Noting the growing role of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region in the world economy every year, the author also focuses on the possible rapid growth of their political influence in the process of building a new pan-region in the near future. The article highlights the idea of the success of the Pacific Alliance, which was the result of the formation of an alternative regional center.

PROSPECTS FOR RUSSIAN AMERICAN RELATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE POLICY PURSUED BY THE PRESIDENT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE AMERICAN MARKET
The article examines the reasons for Donald Trump's coming to power in the United States as a result of the 2016 presidential elections; analyzed the relations between the USA and Russia, as well as the USA and the EU during the Trump presidency (2017-2021); the policy of Donald Trump in the post-Soviet space is considered as one of the foundations of US-Russian relations. In addition, the energy policy was designated as one of the areas of interaction between the United States and the EU and Russia. It was concluded that the foreign policy of the Donald Trump administration was not isolationist, despite the reduction in US international activity. US neutrality in the post-Soviet space has gone far from favoring Russia. The integration of the USA and the EU turned out to be slightly reduced, due to which the political subjectivity in the EU increased. Following the Donald Trump phenomenon, the popularity of right-wing populists in the EU has grown. Prospects for expanding integration between the US and the EU are possible under the administration of Joseph (Joe) Biden; the assumption is made that the competitive relations between the United States and Russia will be preserved when their details change.
Key words: the USA, Russia, the EU, Nord Stream-2, New Start, «trade wars», COVID-19 pandemic, Trump administration, Biden administration.

ON THE QUESTION OF PERCEPTION OF THE PHENOMENON OF “SOFT POWER” IN THE CONTEXT OF RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY

CULTURAL POLICY OF GAZPROM: DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN POLICY ASPECTS
Today, the humanitarian sphere, including educational, cultural, sports, scientific and other social areas, has left the boundaries of a narrow focus and transformed into one of the most important spheres that can influence foreign policy and economic processes. Here the important role of transnational corporations is manifested, carrying out many projects at the state, regional and international levels in educational, cultural, sports, environmental and other spheres. Among the factors motivating companies to engage in humanitarian activities, one can single out a reduction in the volume of the tax burden, the formation of a reputation and a reliable image, as well as the creation of new forms of interstate partnership, aimed primarily at the interests of the individual. The activities of the largest Russian TNC “Gazprom” are especially active in this area, which pays significant attention to social issues, provides financial support for major cultural, sports and other similar events, sponsors environmental events, charitable programs, helps low-income citizens, etc.
Key words: Gazprom, TNK, world politics, international relations, projects, social structures, cultural development.
