ON THE QUESTION OF MEASURING UNCERTAINTY: METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT
The article analyzes various theoretical approaches that investigate uncertainty, the reasons for its manifestation and strengthening in the modern world. It is noted that a number of reasons may be of an objective unavoidable nature, due to the very process of development of complex social systems; be the result of the inconsistency of the process of cognition of reality and insufficient completeness of methodological tools; may be subjective, due to psychological and intellectual characteristics, as well as widely used political manipulative technologies. The need for further development of the methodology for analyzing this phenomenon is noted and the system of indices as tools for quantitative measurement of uncertainty is presented.
Key words: uncertainty, objective uncertainty, subjective uncertainty, global uncertainty index, economic uncertainty index, social frustration index.

ON THE GRAMSHIAN ROOTS OF THE IDEA OF «SOFT POWER»
The article attempts to identify and analyze the history of origin, system characteristics, purpose, political and substantive components of the idea of soft/smart power in modern geopolitical discourse. The main attention is focused on substantiating the thesis, according to which one of the main authors of this idea the famous American political scientist and statesman J. Nye Jr. gave his own name to the political and cultural phenomenon, which was used by those in power throughout the written history. It is shown that for all the claims to objectivity, the idea is sustained in the spirit of the well-known construction of Western triumphalism and victory on a global scale of Western liberalism. In fact, it is based on the idea of cultural hegemony as a precondition for the conquest of power, put forward by the ideologue of the Italian communists in the 30s of the last century. Considering the values of political democracy, human rights and freedoms as systemic and structural components of soft/smart power, its authors implicitly carry out the idea of using them to conquer American hegemony in the cultural sphere as one of the possible directions for maintaining the political hegemony of the United States in the modern world.
Key words: «soft power», «smart power», «hard power», politics, geopolitics, cultural hegemony, gramshism, right-wing gramschism, values, human rights.

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEM OF ANALYSIS OF MODERN POLITICAL POWER: CLUSTER-NETWORK APPROACH
The article problematizes the cluster-network approach (M. Porter, M. Enright, J. Dunning, R. Martin) due to its lack of representation in political research and the relevance of its use in the political sciences to analyze modern socio-political reality, which is becoming increasingly pronounced network polyarchic. The author justifies the legality and effectiveness of applying a cluster-network approach to modern phenomena of political power, political party, civil society, political group, political socialization, etc., since they are fundamentally different from traditional phenomena of the industrial era, as well as criticism of this approach from the point of view of modern political scientific knowledge, the need for complementarity of existing approaches in political sciences.
Key words: cluster-network approach, political cluster, network society, relational political ontology, polyarchy of power political power, political elite, actor-network theory.

CONTENT-STRUCTURAL ETHNOPOLITICAL SYNCRETIZATION OF RUSSIAN CIVIL IDENTITY (SOME NORTH CAUCASIAN PRACTICES)
In the article, Russian civil identity is considered as multi-component and multi-level due to the polyethnic nature of Russian society and the federal structure of the state. In the field of research, the content-structural ethnopolitical syncretization of Russian civic identity is highlighted due to its determination by objective historical and political circumstances. Russian civic identity as the identity of a political nation contains many ethnocultural as well as ethnopolitical elements that are included in the general process of social and political syncretization – more or less successful with the participation of many subjects – ethnic communities. Some practices of ethnic groups in the North Caucasus Federal District, which are active participants in the syncretization of the content and structure of Russian civic identity, are investigated. The authors highlight the positives and problems of ethnopolitical syncretization of Russian civic identity on the example of the North Caucasian ethnopolitical process as a subpolitical process of consolidation of Russian society. Recommendations are proposed for optimizing the participation of North Caucasian ethnic communities in the content-structural syncretization of Russian civic identity at the present stage.
Key words: Russian civic identity, ethnopolitical syncretization, ethnic communities, NCFD, «ethnic federalism», ethnic identification, state national policy, politicization of ethnicity, ethnization of politics.

PROBLEMS OF TRANSATERAL DIPLOMACY: NEW NARRATIVE OR OLD BINARY CODE?
The problem of studying transliteral diplomacy as a paradigm aimed at rethinking foreign policy relations and stopping the use of manipulative international relations in political science is becoming increasingly relevant. The concept of translateralism implies the unification for mutually beneficial cooperation of states different in political regimes and political culture, based on compromise solutions. At the same time, unity is neither a necessary nor a desirable condition for reforming the world order in an era of deepening global uncertainty and a crumbling world order. Informal partnerships between non-like people that go beyond traditional binary thinking are needed. In this article, the authors tried to answer the question posed by the expert scientific community: whether the great diplomacy of the collective West is on the verge of transformational processes, which are based on a new narrative – transliteral diplomacy or remains on old, binary thinking.
Key words: transalteralism, binary code, binary thinking, transliteral world order.

REBRANDING OF CHINA'S ROLE IN THE GLOBAL POLITICAL COMMUNITY
Xi Jinping believes that China has the opportunity to become an economic, technological and even military power by 2035. Based on this, the article examines the modern model of the PRC's foreign policy, in which the country seeks not only to occupy a central position in the world arena, commensurate with its own economic and military power, but also to rebuild, change and redefine the elements of the existing system in accordance with the views and interests of China.
The author argues that despite the confidence in China's growing material power, the country still lacks "discursive power" – the ability to influence the formulations and ideas that underlie the international order. While the Chinese leadership has mobilized intellectual resources to fill this gap, it has not laid out an explicitly alternative vision of what the world should look like.
Key words: China, Chinese foreign diplomacy, Xi Jinping, new world order.

CHINA`S MIDDLE EASTERN POLICY MAIN DIRECTIONS: BEYOND ECONOMIC INTERESTS
The article is dedicated to China`s course in the Middle East. The aim is to identify the role and place of the Chinese People`s Republic within the context of regional relations. Traditionally economic – and mostly energy – interests have been of utmost importance for China, yet, today the country is more actively advancing the political agenda. The article analyzes some of the widest Chinese initiatives for the Middle Eastern region in the fields of economy and security; the newborn Chinese conceptualization of the Middle Eastern policy is also subject to examination in the article. Although the latter is at the moment general in character, the fact of such documents being drafted by the Chinese party is itself a sign of China`s more distinct potential future activation in the region. In the research process official documents and declarations were analized as well as statistical data and collective analytical reports issued by various think tanks. The author seeks to develop unbiased examination of the Chinese People`s Republic political course. However, the argumentation is mainly based on Realistic international relations theory positions. As a result of the research conducted, a trend is identified. The trend consists in China`s tendency to conduct a more active Middle Eastern policy as well as in China`s possible intention to solidify its positions as an influential outside actor in the Middle East.
Key words: China, Middle East, strategic partnership, energy cooperation, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, outside actors in the Middle East.

THE DEAD ENDS OF THE MIGRATION POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, THEIR FURTHER IMPACT ON THE SITUATION IN INDIVIDUAL COUNTRIES AND EUROPE AS A WHOLE (REVIEW OF THE BOOK: KLAUS V., WEIGL I. LLC “RESETTLEMENT OF PEOPLES”: A SHORT GUIDE FOR UNDERSTANDING THE MODERN MIGRATION CRISIS. MOSCOW: PUBLISHING HOUSE OF THE GAIDAR INSTITUTE, 2017)
The article presents a review of a collective monograph by Czech scientists, which examines the origins of the powerful migration crisis that hit unprepared Europe in 2015 and is compared by some experts with the post-war situation in terms of its devastating consequences. It has caused a new wave of skepticism in the EU countries regarding the trend of increasing centralization in the management of the continent promoted by the so-called "Greater Europe", and continues to attract increased attention of scientists, politicians and journalists. If the point of view of the German leadership still dominates in scientific journalism and domestic mass media, and it was and remains the main and adamant in promoting this policy, the attitude towards it in the Eastern European states varies from mild displeasure to harsh criticism.
In this regard, the scientific work that has not lost its relevance, reflecting the political views on this problem of the leading Czech scientists V. Klaus and I. Weigl [5], who for a long time were part of the top leadership of this country, is of undoubted theoretical and practical interest for understanding the origins of the emergence and possible consequences of the modern migration crisis in Europe.
