THE ORIGINS OF ERNEST GELLNER'S THEORY OF NATIONALISM

The article examines the possible influence of the concepts of de-ideologization and "disenchantment" of the world on Ernest Gellner's theory of nationalism. As a rule, Russian and foreign scientists, when studying Gellner's theory, pay attention only to his arguments, without examining the possible influence of other scientific and philosophical concepts on his theory. The relevance and scientific novelty of the research conducted in this article lies in the fact that it examines for the first time two cases of such a possible influence. The goal of the research is to conduct a comparative analysis of Gellner's theory of nationalism and the two concepts mentioned above in order to identify specific parallels. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are performed in the article: a consistent analysis of Ernest Gellner's key work "Nations and Nationalism", the works of Hannah Arendt, Daniel Bell and Max Weber, their comparison, as well as the search and analysis of other scientific literature on the topic of research.

The main research methods used in the article are comparative analysis, content analysis and logical analysis of the above-mentioned works. The text of only one of Gellner's works, "Nations and Nationalism", is subject to research in the article. This is due to the fact that in his earlier work, "Thought and Change", his theory of nationalism is presented in its initial version, and in the work "Nations and Nationalism" it takes a more refined, classical form. It is the second work that the absolute majority of scientists researching his theory refer to. Therefore, using the first work in this case would be superfluous. The result of the research conducted in the article is the found parallels between the concepts of de-ideologization and "disenchantment" of the world and Gellner's theory of nationalism. It is concluded that these concepts could indeed have influenced Gellner's theory.

Key words: nationalism, ideology, Ernest Gellner, de-ideologization, "disenchantment" of the world, Max Weber, Hannah Arendt.

POLITICAL PARTIES AS SUBJECTS OF ELECTORAL PROCESSES: MAIN APPROACHES TO STUDY

The article is dedicated to political parties as subjects of electoral processes, which are essential components of the political system. Various approaches to their study are analyzed, including from the perspective of their ideological, social, and institutional roles in society.

The author identifies the main approaches to studying the phenomenon of parties, emphasizing the differences in interpreting party functions and goals depending on ideological premises. A universal approach to studying the phenomenon of political parties is proposed. Within this approach, five of the most universal characteristics of a political party are highlighted: ideology, organization, the goal of gaining and maintaining power, voter mobilization, and integration into the political system. As the research shows, any attempt to formulate a universal definition of a party leads to the identification of these fundamental characteristics, which allow for the characterization of the essence of party organization, its internal mechanisms, and external functions.

The research confirms that political parties play a central role in the process of aggregating citizens' interests and legitimizing power through electoral mechanisms. The diversity of approaches to studying party structures indicates the need for further legal and institutional analysis of parties as key subjects of the political system.

Key words: political parties, electoral process, political system, power, party system.

THE VIXEN CASE: THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT GAME OF THE RUSSIAN AND BRITISH EMPIRES

In the presented article, the authors conduct an in-depth analysis of the geopolitical event, better known in historiography as «the Mission of the Vixen». In the course of the study, the prerequisites for this event were identified and the key points of the confrontation between the British and Russian Empires at the initial stage of the Great Game were considered. Special attention in the study is paid to the personalities who played a decisive role in the incident. Specific examples show the methods that the Russian Empire used to counter the provocations of the British on the Black Sea. The authors come to the reasonable conclusion that, despite the threat of the British provocation escalating into a full-scale war, the Russian Empire was able to maintain the status quo in Russian-British relations on the Black Sea, as well as consolidate Circassia under its jurisdiction.

THE IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION ON THE POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION OF STUDENTS

As a result of political socialization of young people, internal attitudes of the individual as a participant in the political process are formed, and the political system of the state develops. At the present stage of development, digitalization changes the process of political socialization of student youth, which determines the purpose of the study. The article defines the features of the influence of digital technologies on political socialization, namely, on civic-patriotic education and political participation of student youth. Conclusions were also made regarding the risks of such influence, namely, the lack of control over the influence of digital technologies outside the educational process and the differentiation of digital resources by regions and universities. The need for an empirical analysis of the political socialization of students, taking into account the influence of digital technologies, is substantiated.

Key words: political socialization, civic-patriotic education, political participation, digitalization, higher education, student youth.

NEGATIVE-DEVIANT AND POSITIVE-DEVIANT POLITICAL ELITES AS EPIPHENOMENA OF DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFORMATION OF MODERN RUSSIAN SOCIETY

The article problematizes the concept of "elite" in the context of the paradigm of "Machiavellianism" and "moral turn in politics", the concepts of negative and positive deviations. It is proved that, on the one hand, in the conditions of transformation of society, peculiar points of turbulence and bifurcation, the processes of deviation of the main socio-political subjects are activated, since the old norms undergo rapid changes, and new models of assessment and behavior have not yet received legislative expression, have not been comprehended and integrated into the public consciousness and personality structure. And, on the other hand, given the political context of the problem of deviations, we can say that deviations act as epiphenomenes of the process of exercising power by influential groups, primarily political elites, who have the exclusive right to set the boundaries of norm and pathology and label a specific manifestation as deviant.

In this regard, the problem of "who are the judges?" is being actualized, that is, the problem of the quality of political governing elites. If they themselves are subject to transformation and deviations, then a kind of vicious circle is created in which socio-political actors who are subject to deviations and the temptations of biased assessments in their own interests should make a verdict on the conformity of a socio-political phenomenon to a norm or pathology. Accordingly, without developed, effectively functioning mechanisms of control of the political elite by civil society, clear ideas in society about sufficient grounds for belonging to the elite at the level of public consciousness, mechanisms fixed at the legislative level and worked out in practice to counter abuse of power by existing political elites, as well as internal mechanisms of elite rotation, supporting its renewal and preventing The usurpation of power cannot be prevented by the deviation and degradation of the ruling elites.

Key words: elite, deviations, state-local civilization, cultural and civilizational matrix, traditional values, public values, elitogenesis.

TRANSFORMATION OF PUBLIC POLICY IN THE AGE OF DIGITALIZATION: CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS

The article is devoted to the conceptual analysis of the transformation of public policy in the era of digitalization. The author examines the key theoretical approaches to the study of the influence of digital technologies on political processes and institutions. As a result of the analysis, four main groups of concepts are distinguished: 1) political and philosophical theories that consider fundamental changes in the nature of power and communication; 2) studies of the social consequences and risks of digitalization of the public sphere through the prism of the theories of the "filter wall", "digital panopticon" and digital divide; 3) concepts of transformation of public administration and modification of interaction between government and society in the digital age; 4) theoretical approaches to the analysis of the development and functioning of digital political spaces. The author focuses on the ambivalent nature of the influence of digitalization on public policy, identifying both potential opportunities for expanding political participation and improving governance efficiency, and the risks of increased control, manipulative practices and deepening socio-political inequality. Particular emphasis is placed on the problems of transforming democratic institutions, the activities of digital platforms, ensuring information security and forming digital citizenship in the context of rapid digitalization of politics. In conclusion, the author comes to the conclusion about the need to consider the digital transformation of public policy as a multifaceted and complex process that requires the use of an interdisciplinary approach and the synthesis of various theoretical perspectives.

Key words: public policy, digitalization, network society, e-government, digital citizenship, political participation, democracy, digital divide, transformation of political institutions.

TO THE QUESTION OF THE POLITICAL ORIENTATION OF GR-ACTIVITIES IN THE CORPORATE SPACE OF SIBERIA: THE IMPORTANCE OF MEDIA RESOURCES

The article presents a new view of the processes of targeted interaction with the authorities for the domestic research landscape, consisting in adapting theories of resource dependence and organizational ecology to understanding the political content of GR-communications of corporate structures. Using the example of several regions of the Siberian Federal District, it is shown that the proactive presence of GR-participants in the focus of media attention can be dictated by reasons of both tactical and strategic nature. As a result of the analysis of cases of using media resources to influence government decisions, technological features associated with the vital prospects of interested organizations were identified. Considering the desire of corporations for efficiency and risk-free existence, the author proposes directions for the redistribution of resources significant for GR in favor of mass public interests.

Key words: GR, media, interest group, corporate policy, resource dependence, organizational ecology.

MOTHERHOOD AND THE ENGINEERING PROFESSION: ON THE ISSUE OF THE NEED FOR STATE SUPPORT

The article focuses on the problems faced by modern mothers in connection with the challenges faced by the institution of motherhood on a global scale: the completion of the second demographic transition and the socio-cultural limitation of the "plan" of fertility by two children; the increase in sociocultural requirements and demands of society in relation to the quality of motherhood; the growth of women's aspirations for personal, including professional self-realization; increasing demands from social institutions in relation to the types, quality and effectiveness of women's economic activity. The purpose of the article is to find a solution to the most acute problem – the pressure of society, which places high demands on families and mothers raising children, causes an escalation of the internal conflict between a woman's desire for professional self-realization and the desire to be an ideal mother. Expert survey and focus group methods were used to deconstruct the problem. It is concluded that the most relevant solution to the conflict between a woman's needs and the demands of society is a fairly good motherhood.

ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE POLICY OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Introduction: the article considers individual organizational and legal aspects of digitalization of the public administration system using the example of the practice of e-government. For the population of the country, the introduction of digital technologies into the state mechanism helps to expand the capacity of the social space due to the most prompt provision of up-to-date information and the formation of social communications. These features lead to a decrease in the level of social tension in society and allow targeted provision of relevant social assistance to all categories of citizens. In the focus of the considered importance, the integration of e-government into the regional governance system is of particular importance, since it is at this level that the narratives developed in the federal space are communicated to the end user. In the future, the already debugged mechanism of e-government of the regions is replicated throughout the controlled territory in the form of e-municipalities. Thus, the use of innovative technologies in the e-government format in the public administration system contributes to the growth of quality, reliability, accessibility, security and efficiency of public services, which in turn expands the potential of entrepreneurial activity, reduces the level of social tension in the public environment, and forms sustainable communications along the line «government-business-population». The purpose of the work is to describe the basic organizational and legal aspects of the implementation of the digital transformation policy of the public administration system. Research results: the authors clarified certain issues of legal regulation of the use of digital solutions in the state administrative mechanism, and visualized the methodological model of the functioning of the e-government.

Key words: e-government, digital transformation, public administration, digitalization, administrative support.

ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REGIONAL DEMOGRAPHIC POLICY IN THE CONDITIONS OF INSTABILITY

Introduction: the core importance of the demographic policy is that its main focus is on increasing the country's population. In recent years, the second vector of implementing the demographic policy has been the growth of the quality of national human capital. In this regard, government bodies are developing and implementing a wide range of measures aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the demographic policy. The fact of the relatively long demographic crisis that Russia experienced at the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century gives additional significance to the activation of processes in the field of demographic policy. The main stop factor in this case was the global socio-economic difficulties that resulted from the change in the economic formation of the national economy. Awareness of the need to solve the demographic problem primarily to ensure national security of the state required the introduction of a wide range of tools aimed at stimulating the birth rate, reducing mortality by improving the quality of the health care system, reducing the outflow of human capital, subject to stabilization of the internal socio-economic system, restoring the capacity of the Russian educational system, expanding the potential of the social sphere. The purpose of the work is to assess the demographic policy of the region in the context of instability. Research results: the authors grouped strategic aspects of the importance of demographic policy for the evolutionary development of the state and ensuring national security, and summarized the results of the analysis of key demographic indicators of the Kursk region, revealing the retrospective results of regional management.

Key words: demographic policy, birth rate, mortality, migration, urbanization, natural increase, national security, human capital.

IMPACT OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC CHANGES ON POLITICAL STRATEGIES AND DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT INDUSTRY: INTERNATIONAL AND RUSSIAN EXPERIENCE

The study focuses on analyzing the interconnections between global economic changes and political strategies in the context of Russia’s light industry. In the face of international sanctions and logistic challenges, the import substitution policy becomes particularly relevant as a means of ensuring economic independence and sustainable development. The primary aim of the article is to examine political decisions aimed at adapting Russia’s light industry to the changing external environment, as well as to analyze international experiences and their application to Russian realities. The theoretical framework of the research is based on concepts from political economy, institutional theories, path dependency theory, and systems analysis, which collectively help to elucidate the mechanisms through which globalization influences national political processes. The methodology includes a comparative analysis of political strategies in emerging economies such as China, India, and Argentina. The findings demonstrate that successful import substitution requires active state intervention, strategic planning, and infrastructure development. The conclusions underscore the importance of state participation in economic processes and the need to balance economic integration with political independence for the effective implementation of import substitution strategies in Russia.

Key words: political strategies, global economic changes, sanctions, import substitution, light industry, systems analysis, institutional theories.

STATE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC POLICY OF URBAN ENVIRONMENT QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Introduction: the quality of the urban environment is the most important object of the state's socio-economic policy, as it forms the living conditions of the population. Among the many different characteristics of the quality of the urban environment, the article considers the organizational and legal aspect of drinking water supply. The availability of clean drinking water is especially relevant in urbanized areas, which are characterized by high population density and increased demand for this resource. High-quality functioning of the urban water supply system requires compliance with a large number of technical standards and sanitary and epidemiological requirements, which in turn can be ensured through the timely modernization of water utility equipment. Renovation of urban water supply systems is the most important task of local governments in providing the population with clean drinking water. In addition, in the context of the above, the key importance is the construction of a comprehensive monitoring system for the quality of drinking water provided to citizens for consumption, which should identify deviations as quickly as possible and activate mechanisms to eliminate them. The purpose of the work is to consider the organizational aspects of managing the quality of the urban environment in the vector of providing clean drinking water to the population of the territory. Research results: the authors' team clarified the organizational and methodological aspects of providing the population of the territory with clean drinking water in the contour of urban management.

Key words: urban environment, quality of the urban environment, drinking water, municipal management, socio-economic policy.

FORMATION AND POLITICAL EVOLUTION OF STRATEGIES OF AMERICAN-MEXICAN RELATIONS IN HISTORICAL CONTEXT (1860S – EARLY 21ST CENTURY)

This article attempts a comprehensive and comprehensive analysis of the political formation and further political and diplomatic evolution of U.S.-Mexican relations. As certain foreign policy factors contributing to the emergence of the process of relations between the two states, it is worth considering the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848, the First World War and the Second World War, as well as political events related to the events of the Cold War. The strategic basis for the development of relations between the two neighboring countries was the work of the Monroe Doctrine and the implementation of the concept of a "good neighbor" by the United States. The article also shows a significant decrease in political and economic cooperation between the United States and Mexico in the period after the end of the cold War and a particularly low level of interaction between the two countries during the work of the Republican administration of D. Trump.

Key words: foreign policy, international relations, the Cold War, the United States, Mexico, the "delicate balance", the Republican administration, U.S. President D. Trump.

This article reflects the analysis of the influence’s extent of China’s development and strengthening with the world economy and politics on the development of the Indo-Pacific region strategy. With the gradual development of China's economy, its role in global processes has strengthened: becoming an increasingly attractive as an economic partner, China strengthened relations with many countries in the region, which, after some time, allowed it to become one of the key partners for many powers in the Asia-Pacific region (APR). However, this situation is extremely unfavorable for the United States, which also claims to be a leading country in the Asia-Pacific region. As an alternative to the Asia-Pacific region with China playing a leading role in it, the United States is creating a strategy for the Indo-Pacific region, with the goal of maintaining its influence in the region.

EAEU IN MODERN POLITICAL CONDITIONS

The article examines the position and activities of the EAEU in modern political conditions. The EAEU is the leading organization in the post-Soviet space in the field of economic integration. The EAEU member countries have taken a number of targeted steps to organize a common market, including the free movement of capital and labor. However, in addition to economic factors, the activities of the EAEU are increasingly influenced by geopolitical aspects.

The purpose of the work is to identify the specifics of the EAEU's activities in modern political realities. Its main tasks are to consider the changing political conditions of the EAEU, the specifics of interaction in a situation of increasing international tension, the impact of economic sanctions on the activities of the EAEU, the forced adaptation of participating countries to new restrictions, the problems emerging in this regard, trends and development prospects. The relevance of the topic is determined by the rapidly changing conditions of cooperation between the EAEU countries and the increasing importance of political factors. The confrontation between Russia and Western countries is an important political aspect.

The policy of sanctions and counter-sanctions was activated during the creation of the EAEU, but in recent years its role has increased sharply. The conflict in Ukraine entailed an unprecedented expansion of restrictive measures against Russia and another member of the EAEU, Belarus, which led to the emergence of new challenges and opportunities, while introducing, at the same time, an element of uncertainty into the assessment of the prospects for the development of integration processes in the economic sphere within the EAEU, including issues expansion of the organization by admitting new members.

Key words: EAEU, economy, Russia, cooperation, conflict, sanctions, common market.

In turn, in the 21st century, political relations between Turkey and Israel experienced both sharp falls and rapid rises, although the countries are the largest economic partners in the region. The aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict requires certain solutions from Turkey, but the fear of being involved in a major conflict demands to act carefully.

COUNTER-TERRORISM STRATEGY «CONTEST» IN THE CONTEXT OF THE UK COUNTER-TERRORISM POLICY IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE 21ST CENTURY PART I

The article considers the evolution of the UK main government document in the field of countering the terrorist threat – the counter-terrorism strategy «Contest» from 2003 to the present. The relevance of the research is determined by the significance of this strategy in ensuring the national security of Great Britain as one of the world's leading powers in the fight against terrorism. The purpose of the article is to critically assess the results of the directions included in the Contest strategy: the «4Ps», the «Prevent» counter-extremism program, the «Channel» interdepartmental search and support program for persons at risk of radicalization. In addition, the achievements and shortcomings of the strategy in the fight against the growing number of cyberattacks in recent years are highlighted.

Since the publication of the first version in 2003, the UK counter-terrorism strategy «Contest», which contains long-term systemic counter extremism measures, has undergone significant changes. Despite the achievements, «Contest» has shown a number of contradictory, insufficient results and needs to be updated, which is confirmed by British authorities. The «Prevent» program is invariably criticized publicly for securitizing society, stigmatizing British Muslims, restricting freedom of speech. The problem is compounded by a number of existing and new terrorist threats, fragmentation of the extremist groups, a significant acceleration in the preparation of terrorist attacks, lack of a systematic assessment of terrorist attack risks. In addition, the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit raise concerns. Accordingly, the analysis of the «Contest» strategy allows drawing conclusions regarding its effectiveness and outlining the short – and medium-term prospects for its development.

Key words: UK, national security, terrorism, counter-terrorism strategy «Contest», «4Ps», «Prevent» program, «Channel» program, extremism, cyberterrorism.

TERRORISM AS A SECURITY THREAT IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN GLOBALIZATION

In this study, the author suggests that the current phase of global development is characterized by a critical increase in the terrorist threat due to the cultural and value asynchronization of the traditional and liberal sides of globalization, forming a contradictory unity. However, such unity is conditional, since humanity continues to remain heterogeneous with unequal conditions of existence and development potentials, which entails "compensation" for the situation on the part of oppressed States, groups and communities. This "compensation" lowers the permissible limits of the use of terror and violence to zero minimums. In the course of the research, the author also examines the issues of increasing the terrorist threat due to such factors of globalization as transnationalization, financial integration, the growth of identity conflicts, problems of statehood, technological progress, intensification of global conflict, the use of terrorism within big geopolitics, etc. In conclusion, the author concludes that the fight against the threat of terrorism requires the integration of efforts in such areas as international law, collective defense and intelligence, as well as humanitarian cooperation. However, unfortunately, such aspirations are not on the global political agenda today.

Key words: globalization, terrorism, terrorist threats, multiculturalism, value systems, technology, geopolitics, global security.

EVOLVING PARADIGMS IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: FROM NATIONAL INTEREST TO ECOLOGICAL INTERDEPENDENCE

This article examines the problem of defining and defending national interests in the context of global environmental challenges. The author analyses the main theoretical approaches to the concept of national interests, such as realism, liberalism and constructivism, and identifies their strengths and weaknesses. Particular attention is paid to the realist tradition, which is considered dominant in the study of international relations. The author criticizes the realist conception of national interests based on the principles of power, security and sovereignty and proposes an alternative approach called ecological realism. Environmental realism assumes that national interests should consider not only political, economic and military factors, but also environmental conditions and consequences of states' actions. The author argues that environmental realism can offer a more adequate and responsible strategy for the behavior of states in a world where environmental risks and threats are becoming a more serious and imminent. In conclusion, the author summarizes and concludes on the prospects for the development of environmental realism as a new approach to the theory and practice of international relations.

Key words: national interests, ecological realism, realism, liberalism, constructivism, international relations.

RIGHT-WING POPULISM IN SPAIN: THE RISE AND ELECTORAL GROWTH OF THE VOX PARTY

This article examines the emergence and growth of the right-wing populist party VOX (Voice) in Spain, looking at its ideology, attitudes towards democracy, and voter attraction. Founded in 2013, it entered the regional parliament of Andalusia in December 2018. By participating in negotiations to form a coalition government in this Spanish region, VOX demonstrated its potential as an influential political force. Under the leadership of Santiago Abascal, the party achieved significant success in local and national elections, winning broad electoral support. VOX used the trial of Catalan separatists to increase its popularity among the right-wing electorate, positioning itself as a defender of Spanish unity. Rallies such as the one in Vistalegre strengthened its position in the political arena. In the 2019 general elections, VOX received more than 3.6 million votes, becoming the third largest party in the Spanish Congress.

The article also compares VOX with other populist right-wing parties in Europe, such as the National Rally in France and the Brothers of Italy, and examines their strategies for interacting with traditional political forces depending on the national context.

Key words: populism, Spain, VOX, right-wing populism, radical parties.
