“NEW POLITICAL CULTURE” AS AN INSTRUMENT OF STABILIZATION/DEFORMATION OF SOCIETY

The article considers the key reasons for the formation of a modern new political culture which is both a stabilizer and a destabilizer of society. Characteristic features of a new political culture of power and the population are singled out. The causal relationship between the influence of the new political culture on the social state is analyzed, taking into account the mental, behavioral, and institutional levels of the phenomena. Market relations, modern propaganda information war at the interstate level, the search for a national idea, non-protestive and protest models of social behavior, the active involvement of public structures and their representatives in the management, regulation of social processes, political and cultural format of power, public and information structures are discussed in article as a possible functional potential of consolidation and division of society at the same time.

The specifics of a new political culture, which in modern conditions acquires ever greater theoretical and pragmatic significance, is shown to become one of the most important active elements of the political process, receiving a different dimension, dynamically transforming the course of the socio-political development of society. It is concluded that the reasons for the formation of a new political culture as a stabilizer and destabilizer in society indicate a complete lack of a clear definition of the goals, objectives of this culture at all its levels, and an actual need for a "culture of stability" and cultural rationality arises to resolve social contradictions.

Key words: new political culture, stabilization, destabilization, society.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE SECURITY THREATS FACING THE "SILK ROAD ECONOMIC BELT" AND THE NECESSITY OF JOINT SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS BETWEEN CHINA AND RUSSIA

The "Silk Road Economic Belt" as "the world's longest and most promising economic corridor", its full realization is expected to cost decades or even hundreds of years. In this regard, regional security and stability is undoubtedly a long-term necessary factor. The internal and external threats to the countries along "Silk Road Economic Belt" will directly or indirectly affect its smooth realization. This paper analyzes the problems that will be met in the process of the construction of "Silk Road Economic Belt" by expounding the turbulence and instability of the relevant countries on the Eurasian continent because of the Great Power Game, extreme terrorism and regional tribal, ethnic contradictions and religious and sectarian conflicts. At present, within the scope of the "Silk Road Economic Belt", taking into account the political and strategic mutual trust, military strength and potential of cooperation, Central Asia and other related countries with China-Russia multi-field cross-border cooperation is the best way to settle internal riots, reduce the threat of terrorism and the US interference.

Key words: globalization, "Economic belt of the Silk Road", security threats, Sino-Russian cooperation.

ON THE SPECIAL RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES

The article attempts to analyze the so-called "special rights" of indigenous small peoples, which are a kind of collective rights that provide for certain deviations from a single system of human rights and freedoms. It is shown that it is a question of granting to some categories of such peoples various kinds of privileges and immunities in cases when they are not able to realize their interests within the framework of the current general legal order due to the limited or shortage of certain resources. Such privileges and immunities are called upon to provide the necessary conditions and means for preserving and further developing the ethno-cultural identity, language, customs, traditions, etc. In this context, the main focus is on the so-called "positive discrimination", according to which this category of people can be granted, for example, the right to replace military service with an alternative civil service, to quotas for elections to local and regional authorities that proportionally exceed them the percentage of the total population and even other larger national minorities. The same range of privileges includes rights in the field of hiring for a job, professional training of masters of folk crafts, education, social security and health protection, etc. It is shown that in Russia legislation includes the rights to cultural heritage in the form, for example, of traditional knowledge, dispute resolution and management methods, national symbols, music, art, rituals, etc., considered as a kind of intellectual property.

Key words: national minorities, indigenous small peoples, laws, the constitution, human rights, collective rights, special rights, culture, language, identity.

EVOLUTION OF OLD BELIEVERS COMMUNITIES OF THE BORDER TERRITORIES OF RUSSIA, UKRAINE AND BELARUS IN THE SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET PERIODS OF DEVELOPMENT: PROBLEMS OF PRESERVING ETHNOCONFESSIONAL UNITY

The article discusses problems of the evolution of the old believer communities of the border areas of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The authors emphasize the resilience, courage and patriotism of believers during the great Patriotic war, despite the repressions of the Soviet authorities against them in the 1920s and 1930s; the need to preserve the rich cultural heritage of the old believer communities living on the territory of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus to strengthen friendly relations between the citizens of these States after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The process of the evolution of the Old Believers in the Soviet period is practically not yet understood by the researchers, it requires a historical and philosophical justification. But the problems of the evolution of Old Believer communities in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods of development in various regions of Russia attract the attention of Russian researchers. Based on the study of archival documents from public and private collections, the memoirs of the Old Believers, these expeditions of the authors, including photo and video footage, surveys of the local population, a material has been collected that allows us to trace the process of adapting the Old Believers to new social and economic realities during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, preservation of traditionalism and the emergence of innovations in the material and spiritual culture of representatives of this religious faith.

Key words: Russian old believers, the Starodubye and Vetka, the border territory the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, evolution, communities.

GROUP-FORMING FUNCTION OF URBAN CONFLICTS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF YAROSLAVL REGION)

The article considers urban conflicts on the example of the Yaroslavl region. The main attention is paid to the positive consequences of urban conflicts – their group-forming function.

The results of a survey of experts, which was attended by 17 people (representatives of government bodies, NGOs, political parties, the media, the academic community) was the empirical base of the research. An analysis of 6 urban conflicts that took place in the Yaroslavl region over the period 2005-2017 was also carried out.

The results of the research led to the conclusion that urban conflicts, among other functions, contribute to the emergence of groups that have their own values, representations, specificities, and self-awareness. The reasons for the formation of groups in the course of conflicts are group identity, the commonality of self-awareness and interests, the opposite of interests, the opinions of the parties, the difference in socio-cultural values, feelings of hostility, opposition to one another, pursuit of one's goals, antagonism. The emergence of such groups in urban conflicts is especially important. As a rule, a key feature in such conflicts is the unification of city residents who, feeling their unity, and therefore force, in various conventional and non-conventional ways, try to influence the conflict resolution that is favorable for them, and therefore for the city as a whole.

During the research it was revealed that among urban conflicts in the Yaroslavl region, urban conflicts are most often encountered arising from the arrangement of the urban environment, preservation or modernization of the historical heritage, etc.

In the conflicts examined, both structured, hierarchical groups (for example, representatives of local and regional government bodies) participate, as well as amorphous groups built on a network principle – townspeople, city protectors and civil activists.

Key words: urban conflict, group-forming function, NGO, governments, civic engagement.

ON SOME DIFFICULT SURMOUNTABLE FACTORS OF CONFLICTOGENICITY OF THE NORTH CAUCASUS

The article attempts to identify and analyze some key factors that, despite all the successes achieved in the North Caucasian republics in the fight against separatism, extremism and terrorism, still retain the potential for conflict and under certain conditions to stimulate social and political instability. It is shown that, although the negative consequences of the notorious "parade of sovereignties" of the tumultuous 1990s of the last century have been overcome in the past decade and a half, nevertheless, it would be premature and not entirely correct to state that a number of reasons that caused this phenomenon became the property of the past. Naturally, the main attention is paid to such a factor as the mixed administrative-territorial and national-territorial principles of the region's structure which, in the opinion of the author, in the conditions when all the republics become multinational, makes it difficult to resolve a number of socio-economic and political problems. Attention is drawn to the fact that among the radically oriented part of national movements, ideas and projects have not lost their relevance to the reorganization of the national-territorial structure of the region on a strictly mono ethnic basis. Of particular importance in this context is the politicization of ethnism, which some politicians use for their own personal interests.

Key words: the Russian Federation, the North Caucasus, the national republic, the region, politics, the people, ethnos, conflict.

TERRITORIAL DISPUTES IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA: VIEWPOINTS OF INDONESIA AND SINGAPORE

Territorial disputes in the South China Sea can be considered as one of the key conflictogenetic elements in South East Asia and Asia Pacific Region. The existence of unsolved territorial disputes itself has a significant impact on the East Asian regional sub-system of international relations. Some of the leading regional states as Indonesia and Singapore, which declared neutrality in this issue, find themselves being politically drawn over between China and “anti-Chineese” ASEAN member-states backed by the USA. Close economic interconnection between China and the regional countries, which Beijing tries to use as a political instrument, makes the situation even more complicated.

Key words: South China Sea, territorial dispute, China, Indonesia, Singapore, ASEAN, USA.

TO THE ANALYSIS OF WAYS OF STUDYING MODERN ARMED CONFLICTS: HYBRID WAR AND ASYMMETRIC CONFLICT

Events in Crimea and Ukraine have led to emergence of the numerous publications applying the term "hybrid war" to the description of new military strategy of Russia. However, rapid increase in publications on hybrid war, first of all, of foreign authors, leads to the theoretical and methodological confusion caused by use of similar, but not identical terms: asymmetric war, strategy of indirect actions, hybrid conflict. Not always foreign authors distinguish between the Crimean operation and the Ukrainian conflict which doesn't allow to analyze thoroughly these phenomena separately, describing unique characteristics of each situations. As a result, the theory of asymmetric warfare doesn't gain due development. The article analyses the Crimean operation and events in Ukraine in terms of the concepts of hybrid war and asymmetric conflict. Using the methodology to distinct the terms hybrid war and hybrid conflict, the author analyzes the features of Crimean and Ukrainian events with the aim to justify their belonging to different categories: hybrid war and asymmetric conflict. Consideration of these two events, taking into account their features, can bring additional clarification in research of the modern conflicts.

Key words: hybrid war, asymmetric conflict, Crimean operation, Ukraine, Russia, NATO, armed conflict.

Although the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Government of Vietnam actively fight against this problem by promulgating a relatively comprehensive anticorruption legislation and taking different anticorruption measures nationwide, the effectiveness of the anticorruption policy is questionable. This problem is progressing so seriously that it actually becomes the most serious threat to the legitimacy of the Communist Party of Vietnam as conceded in many party documents.
