ORTHODOXY AS A MORAL AND VALUE GUIDLINE OF THE RUSSIAN STATEHOOD: HISTORICAL POLITICAL ANALYSIS

In the situation of the modern geopolitical crisis, the determining factor is the formation of one’s own ideological and value foundation for the further development of society and the state. It also becomes obvious that the universal ideals of liberal ideology are exhausting themselves and are not able to provide the necessary impetus for social development any longer. For this reason, it becomes vitally important to explore one's own past in an ideological and political context in order to identify the internal potential of traditional culture. This becomes especially relevant for modern Russia, which finds itself in conditions of brutal ideological and political confrontation with Western countries. The purpose of this study is to identify the ideological and value foundation of the centralized and sovereign Russian state, which was formed during the late XV-XVI centuries. Achieving this goal is possible by performing the following research tasks: 1. express the transformations in the international position of Russia during the period of the 15th-16th centuries, under the conditions of which the formation of a sovereign and centralized Russian state took place; 2. identify the main value-philosophical concepts that competed for the status of the ideological foundation in the formation of the phenomenon of Russian autocracy; 3. identify manifestations of the designated concepts in the official political life of the Russian state during the period under study. Within the framework of this study, methods of political-textological and comparative analysis, the method of historical and philosophical reconstruction and elements of hermeneutics were used. The result of this research is the adaptation of R. Wright's concept of the process of formation of new religious and philosophical concepts in the conditions of transformation of socio-political reality presented in the work. The extrovertive tendency that existed for quite a long time in the spiritual and political development of Russia at the end of the 15th century. encounters new introvertive concepts. It was precisely the latest ideals based on the Orthodox tradition that became the philosophical foundation of the Russian autocracy. In modern conditions of a new confrontation, a return to this moral and value model can become a source of internal energy for the Russian Federation.

Key words: Russia, Orthodoxy, Russian autocracy, spiritual and political development.

REPRESENTATION OF SOCIO-POLITICAL RELATIONS IN THE CONCEPT OF «POSTDRAMATIC THEATER» AND MODERN THEATRICAL PRACTICES

The term «postdramatic theatre», systematically introduced by Hans-Thies Lehmann since the 1990s, has now gained international fame. Since the book Postdramatic Theater was first published in 1999, it has been translated into twenty languages.

Lehman used the term as an alternative to the ubiquitous term «postmodern theatre» to describe how the vast variety of modern theater forms opposed itself not so much to «modernity» as to «drama». They no longer corresponded to the concept of mimetic enactment of dramatic conflict in the form of narrative and dialogue spoken by characters in an «artificially» created reality by the author.

Тhe purpose of this paper is to attempt, in general terms, to describe whether postdramatic theater – in terms of both Lehmann's theoretical approach and the variety of contemporary theatrical and performance practices that fall under this term – can be considered political, given that its modes of political engagement are essentially differs from those previously practiced in the «dramatic» (repertoire) theater.

Key words: postdramatic, political, theatrical practices.

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN FORMING THE POLITICAL AGENDA

Social media has created a new context for the existence of public policy. This article primarily contributes to a better understanding of the role of social media in agenda setting. The factors under the influence of which the agenda is formed and modified are identified. Social networks have become an established channel of political communication, which parties and politicians readily use. Users of new media conduct active discussions, directly influencing the agenda, including using manipulative techniques. Network media have also significantly expanded the ability of various actors to propose their agenda to the media, society and government. There are precedents when topics launched into the information space through new media became the focus of public attention. Through social media, people can express their dissatisfaction with political decisions. In addition, social networks have become a platform for creating communities of like-minded people, where people can discuss current issues and find support from each other. Network media have also significantly expanded the ability of various actors to propose their agenda to the media, society and government. There are precedents when topics launched into the information space through new media became the focus of public attention. The repeated expansion of the media-political field, the emergence of new actors in it, and changes in focusing mechanisms affected the entire process of agenda formation.

Key words: agenda, formation of the political agenda, social media, mass media.

COMPETITION IN THE MARKET OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES UNDER SANCTIONS POLICY

Introduction: The article presents the results of a study of competition in the educational services market. The educational services market, like any other market, has a certain competitive environment. At the same time, the features of the competitive environment in the educational services market are largely determined by the specifics of the product provided on it, namely educational services. In the context of sanctions pressure, it is important to build a high-quality competitive environment in the educational services market, which will create an evolutionary track. From a strategic perspective, the space of the domestic educational services market should generate conditions for the most intensive development of human capital, ensuring the required level of national security. A high-quality educational environment is the fundamental basis for countering hybrid geopolitical threats, and competent management of the competitive space in the field of education is a relevant tool for increasing the efficiency of the use of educational technologies.

Purpose and objectives: the purpose of the work is to conduct a study of competition in the market of educational services under sanctions. Achieving this goal occurs as a result of solving the following list of tasks:

– justify the relevance of building a high-quality competitive environment in the educational space;

– analyze the structural and dynamic indicators of competition in the educational services market;

– consider the dynamics of the integral indicator of competition in the educational services market from a sectoral perspective.

Research results: the team of authors performed an analytical diagnostic of the competitive environment in the Russian educational services market. On the scale of the work, the calculation of dynamic and structural indicators was carried out, characterizing the features of the functioning of organizations of secondary vocational and higher education. Based on the FAS methodology, calculations were made of key indicators of competition in the educational environment in the context of secondary vocational and higher education, and their results were interpreted taking into account the current situation in the educational market. The generalizations formulated by the team of authors can become an up-to-date information base for relevant government bodies when adjusting the competitive space of the educational environment towards optimal targets.

Key words: education, educational services, competition, market for educational services, Russia, sanctions.

ASSESSMENT OF KEY COMPONENTS OF SANCTIONS RISK FOR RUSSIAN HIGHER EDUCATION AND SCIENCE

Introduction: the article assesses the key components of the risk of sanctions for Russian higher education and science. The sanctions imposed in the wake of geopolitical pressure had a significant negative impact on the development of the domestic system of higher education and science. The prompt actions of relevant leaders and government bodies were able to prevent the onset of the devastating consequences that lobbyists for the interests of unfriendly countries were counting on. At the same time, the likelihood of further escalation in the scientific and educational space is still present and is actively being replicated as a tool of hybrid warfare. Given the current socio-economic situation, it is important to objectively assess probabilistic risks in order to achieve maximum efficiency in the transformation of the domestic system of higher education and science towards sovereignty and national identity. First of all, it is necessary to mitigate risks in relation to student representatives and young scientists in order to preserve their research potential and interest in the domestic educational space. Expanding the capacity of the educational space and improving the quality of the scientific environment are the most important tools for ensuring national security, which require rapid transformation in the current climate of global instability.

Goal and objectives: the goal of the work is to assess the key components of the risk of sanctions for Russian higher education and science. Achieving the goal is a consequence of solving the following list of tasks:

– justify the relevance of assessing sanctions risks for the domestic system of higher education and science;

– conduct diagnostics and provide a comprehensive description of the main risks for the system of higher education and science in the context of geopolitical pressure from unfriendly countries;

– perform an integral assessment of the risk of sanctions for the Russian scientific and educational space based on an expert-analytical matrix.

Results: in the article, the team of authors characterized the main risks generated by the sanctions policies of unfriendly countries for the system of higher education and science of the Russian Federation. In addition, the potential negative consequences of the occurrence of risk events are considered, taking into account their destructive impact and the current scientific and educational environment. The result of expert analytical diagnostics was a matrix of key risk components, which made it possible to formulate an integral assessment of it.

Key words: science, higher education, risks, geopolitical instability, sanctions, expert assessment.

STATE AND MUNICIPAL MANAGEMENT IN THE XXI CENTURY: THEORY, METHODOLOGY, PRACTICE

The relevance of the research lies in the fact that the study of management theories, methodologies and practices in a general sense provide a scientific basis for the analysis and understanding of public and municipal management. The object of research is management as a complex category of impact on an element of the social system. The subject of the study is state and municipal management as elements and levels of the management hierarchy. The study revealed that while the classical school of management and the scientific school of management emphasize efficiency and hierarchy, behavioral theory, systems theory and management theory shift the focus to human behavior, system complexity and social cooperation. The main aspect of modern management systems is the emphasis on the object of management of public values, which expands the scope of management activities, focusing on the results focused on citizens and various vulnerable social strata in society.

Key words: network management, information exchange, joint management, society, digital environment.

CENTRAL ASIA: THE INTERSECTION OF INTERESTS OF RUSSIA, THE USA AND CHINA IN THE REGION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CHANGE OF EPOCHS (PART 1)

The collapse of the Soviet Union was a shock for the world's leading players, who did not expect such a rapid fall of a once mighty rival. At the same time, the key capitals of the world predicted great geopolitical opportunities that opened up to them in the sphere of international influence in many regions.

The purpose of the article is to show the intersection of the interests of the world's leading actors forming the modern political picture of the world in Central Asia. The task is to consider the processes related to the policy pursued by the United States and China to finally oust Russia from the Central Asian region and consolidate to realize their geopolitical and economic aspirations.

The results of the study: the US withdrawal from Afghanistan created favorable prerequisites for the promotion of Chinese influence in the region; the state interests of the Central Asian republics are practically not considered due to the lack of national strategies for development and prosperity there.

Conclusions: The United States and China use the economic and political weakness of the Central Asian states, the corruption of elites and the raw orientation of local economies to assert their dominance. The goal is to consistently squeeze out the remnants of Russian influence and prevent the strengthening of the positions of third countries.

Key words: post-Soviet space, Russia, USA, China, Central Asia, confrontation.

THE STRATEGIC TRIANGLE OF THE RIC IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

In modern political conditions, scientific interest in the troika of states – China, Russia, India – is increasing, the totality of whose political efforts can be a political force not only at the regional level, but also globally influence.

The political situation has changed, the world order is being transformed.

Scientific interest in the positions of the three states on the main issues of world development, on topical issues of world politics is only expanding, taking into account the claims of Russia, India and China to geopolitical leadership. Many authors emphasize the geopolitical competitiveness of the relations between the two Asian giants. Studies on the interaction of the three countries will answer the question of rivalry and the possibility of flexible cooperation.

Key words: RIC – Russia, India, China, international relations, conceptual approach, world order, world politics.

POLITICAL-COMMUNICATIVE METHODS OF DIGITAL DIPLOMACY

Digital diplomacy, or the implementation of digital technologies and social media in diplomatic activity, has become an integral part of modern international interaction. Digital diplomacy allows states to effectively interact with international partners, disseminate information about their positions and achievements, and enhance their public image.

As a tool of modern political communication, digital diplomacy adopts and transforms traditional rules of information interaction, allowing political actors to optimize channels for disseminating ideas and values. On the other hand, political communication also influences digital diplomacy. Effective political communication, based on a broad theoretical and methodological foundation of information impact mechanisms on the audience, allows politicians to more accurately define goals and implement strategies in the digital environment. Additionally, methods of political communication aimed at creating favorable conditions for networking adapted to various cultural, linguistic, and political contexts ensure the rational use of resources in digital communication channels for disseminating information and propaganda materials and achieving diplomatic goals. This is particularly important in the context of soft power, where communication and establishing contacts play a key role in shaping a positive image and increasing international support and confidence in state policy.

The article represents a retrospective review of the main theoretical approaches and methods of political communication in the Western tradition used in modern digital diplomacy. This analysis provides an understanding of the emergence and development of important mechanisms of digital diplomacy as a tool for political communication.

Key words: Digital diplomacy, Social media, Political communication, Soft power.

THE IMPORTANCE OF AFGHANISTAN FOR THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN SINCE 2016

Uzbekistan is the only country that borders all the states of Central Asia. For this reason, it is interested in creating a security belt at its borders and establishing friendly and good-neighborly relations with other States. And Afghanistan occupies an important position in its strategy. The main priority for Uzbekistan is to achieve national reconciliation in Afghanistan and a clear vision of constructive relations between the two countries.

During the reforms of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev in 2016, a foreign policy concept was formed in relation to Afghanistan, where the country is considered not as a source of threats and instability, but as a strategic partner with whom it is necessary to establish trade and economic relations. Uzbekistan is more interested in the stability of Afghanistan than anyone else, as it is an integral part of many cross-border economic projects. Therefore, the Government of Uzbekistan pursued a flexible policy both before the Taliban came to power in 2021 and after.

The aim is to show the areas of development of relations between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, to determine their role in increasing stability in the region, to trace the logic and transformation of these relations. And also highlight Uzbekistan's experience in building relations with South Asia, as an example to other Central Asian states.

Statistical data characterizing trade and economic relations between the two countries, as well as statements of officials of the Republic of Uzbekistan on these issues, were used as sources.

Key words: Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, foreign policy, economy, security, Central Asia, South Asia.

As a result of the study, data was obtained on the use of cognitive technologies and artificial intelligence in international politics, digital diplomacy, as well as the impact that these technologies have on socio-political processes. Based on the results, it was concluded that global governance during the heyday of cognitive technologies is a process of studying and groping for a path still unknown to humanity, which necessitates a careful and thorough assessment of the results of using these technologies in international politics.

THE PLACE OF RUSSIA AND BRICS IN THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICAN

The article discusses the evolution of the foreign policy strategy of the Republic of South Africa in terms of assessing the importance of cooperation with the Russian Federation at various levels and in multiple formats, both within the framework of bilateral meetings and at multilateral platforms, of which the BRICS summits are the key ones. The analysis of the texts of conceptual documents and official reference materials of South Africa, by comparing the observed changes in the political discourse regarding the development of South African-Russian relations with the most important national, regional, and world processes and events, made it possible to identify constructive and destructive determinants that affect the nature of interstate relations between the South African Republic and the Russian Federation. In particular, the study identified internal and external factors that either increase the interest of the ruling structures of South Africa in increasing the intensity of interstate interaction with the Russian authorities, or, on the contrary, enhance competitive principles in South African-Russian relations.

Key words: Russian Federation, Republic of South Africa, BRICS, IBSA, Southern African Development Community, foreign policy, national interests.
