ENGINEERING EDUCATION AS A TOOL OF THE NEW INDUSTRIAL POLICY OF RUSSIA: REFORMING THE SYSTEM OF BUDGET FINANCING
In this article the author analyzes the state policy in relation to engineering education in the field of budget financing after 2014. The peculiarity of this period is a new goal-setting in relation to the previous period. Engineering education is considered by the state as a strategically significant tool for achieving the goals of the new industrial policy and import substitution by changing the financing system for engineering education and increasing the financial custody of the state; changes in the policy of admission to universities of the Russian Federation; changes in the content of education. The author analyzes the main trends in the financing of higher engineering education. He traces the changes in the indicators of financing, on the basis of this analysis, estimates the new – per capita – mechanism of financing education as low-effective. From the point of view of financing, the Russian education system continues to be the object of administrative centralization and unification of management, which leads to its bureaucratization and redundancy of legal regulation. Statistics indicate an increase in prices for paid educational services provided by the state to the population, even during the years of economic crises, when real incomes of the population decreased, state budget revenues also decreased, while public spending on education froze or fell, and education prices for the population continued to rise.
Key words: new industrialization, import substitution, engineering education, upgrade, educational policy, per capita financing.

THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN PUBLIC DECISION-MAKING IN THE POSTMODERN ERA
The article analyzes the influence of postmodernism philosophy on the role of the media in state decision-making. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that as a result of the adaptation of the modern system of public administration to the realities of the postmodern era, the place and role of the media in the process of making state decisions and implementing state policy have significantly changed. The article uses methods of historical and logical analysis and synthesis to consider the prerequisites for the formation of postmodern ideas; using the hypothetical-deductive method, the main challenges and limitations of the new paradigm in relation to the sphere of political communications are identified: deconstruction of such metanarratives as ideology, political continuity, and the linearity of socio-political evolution, which necessitates a more thorough and regular description of the current agenda and the balance of forces in the political arena; change of key approaches to positioning political actors; and acceleration of information exchange; high competition for the attention of the target audience in the conditions of constant expansion of the amount of available information. The need to respond to these challenges leads to an increasing role of the media and information support in general in the effective and efficient implementation of public policy. The paper concludes that the new place of the media in the political arena causes an increase in the responsibility of the media to the audience and the state.
Key words: political communications, postmodernism philosophy, metanarrative, information support, political actor, ideology, mass media, state decision-making.

IDEOLOGICAL ATTITUDES IN YOUTH CONSCIOUSNESS: А NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF COGNITIVE CONCEPTS
At present, society is concerned about manifestations of extremist and right-wing radical moods among young people, which may adversely affect the stability of the political system. The influence of ideologies on youth consciousness in rapidly changing social, economic and political processes requires constant monitoring and evaluation. There is also the problem of the complex relationship of fragmented social consciousness and ideological systems, requiring scientific analysis and reflection.
The aim of this work is to analyze the transformation of ideologies, that is, “proto-ideological” concepts, expressed in linguistic and symbolic forms, into relatively stable conceptual narratives and ideological attitudes in youth consciousness and their typology. The theoretical and methodological base of the research was made by the work of M. Frieden and who proposed a morphological approach to ideologies in which the units of study are concepts. Cognitive understanding of ideology includes not only the morphology of ideologies, but also a subconscious level, with its spontaneous in siderations are born narratives so on SIC research method was chosen narrative analysis. Empirical material was collected by the use of this qualitative method in combination with the quantitative method of interviewing students from the south of Russia.
An analysis of ideologues made it possible to identify relatively stable cognitive ideological concepts: truth, justice, openness, imagination/representation of the surrounding world. It has been established that the most common ideological attitudes (attitudes) in terms of the topics raised in the study should include the expectation of change, the willingness to act within the law in achieving their goals, the attitude towards collective actions (prevailing), the attitude towards individual actions, the anti-war attitude, faith in oneself.
In general, despite the situational ideological indifference to the great ideological their narratives in the minds of students of the South of Russia is obvious predominance of n Signs of left-liberal ideology.
Key words: ideology, attitude, concept, narrative, youth consciousness.

IDEOLOGY AND VALUES IN THE PUBLIC GOVERNANCE OF MODERN RUSSIA PART II
In this article, we aim to understand what role ideological concepts presented in the modern Russian public space play directly in public administration (in determining the development guidelines of the state and its policy directions), as well as in the public segment of public administration (in consolidating the values and efforts of society for the implementation of the intended policy). To this end, we conduct the analysis of conformity of the officially declared Russian state policy, and then of its actually implemented state policy, to the ideological guidelines that are publicly presented. Then – the analysis of the compliance of these guidelines with the values that really exist in the public consciousness. And, finally, the analysis of the conformity of the values cultivated by the ideological forms implanted by the state with the objectively priority task of our country, its innovative development, in accordance with world challenges. Based on the conducted analysis, it turns out that only the conservative ideology, mainly in the form of “special way” concepts, realizes itself successfully in the practice of public administration. The priority of the policy she sets is largely the reason for the fact that other important declared ideological foundations of Russian public administration are not being realized in practice. For this reason, modern Russian ideological concepts of conservative nature presented in public policy are not so much an interpretation of state policy guidelines for citizens, as manipulation of the mass consciousness in the face of acute and chronic dissatisfaction with the basic needs of society, caused by the nature of public administration. Wherein, they are unable to ensure sustainable consolidation of society, because of being inconsistent with its current values. In addition, appealing only to the traditionalist components of public consciousness, such ideologies cannot provide a value base for the innovative development of Russia. Thus, the ideological concepts presented in the public space of modern Russia are neither in fact the tools for creating a strong foundation for state policy, nor for consolidating society for realization of the policy.
Key words: ideology, values, public policy and governance in modern Russia, society values, conservative ideology, ideologies of the “special way”, manipulative ideologies, society values, mass consciousness, consolidation of society, modernization.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY OF RUSSIA AND THE USA
The article gives a comparative analysis of some, in the opinion of the author, key components of the national security strategy of the Russian Federation and the United States. Showing the similarity of a number of their provisions and attitudes, the main focus is on substantiating the thesis of radical differences in their content, goals, purpose, orientation. If the national security strategy of the Russian Federation in the very complex, rapidly changing geopolitical realities of the modern world is predominantly defensive in nature, its American counterpart is aimed at an offensive, interventionist orientation. In this context, it is shown that Washington, whose strategy is dominated by the desire to maintain a unipolar world order as a condition for guaranteeing its hegemony in the world, prefers force means and methods for solving world problems, while Moscow puts the diplomatic, negotiated way of solving them based on international law at the forefront.

THE PROBLEM OF NATIONAL SELF-PRESERVATION OF FRENCH IDENTITY
According to the expert’s view, there is a need to rethink the concepts of "civilization", "national identity", "self-identification", etc. The author of the article notes that the European system of values and way of life were perceived as perfect and deserving of assimilation, imitation and adaptation, which is not true of the countries of modern Western Europe. The migration flow increase is also contributed to the "erosion of European culture". The author briefly describes the model of assimilation of sociologists of the Chicago school ("melting pot"), which assumes that immigrants would abandon traditional ties, habitual way of life and accept the "American". The article also considers the policy of multiculturalism aimed at preserving cultural diversity without requiring cultural minorities to assimilate with the main culture. The main problems of national self-preservation and civil identity in France have included not just an increase in the number of refugees and economic migrants from the Middle East and Africa, but the ideology of Islamism that they bring. The author draws attention to the changes in the ethnodemographic sphere of France due to the high birth rate of Muslims and the catastrophic drop in the birth rate of the indigenous European population. We can note the crisis of the family as a social institution, as well as the spread of same-sex marriage. Some experts also suggest creating an alternative to Islamism in the form of so-called "Euroislam", which represents a combination of Muslim values with elements of Western culture.
Key words: identity, migrants, religion, assimilation police, multiculturalism, "Euroislam".

FEATURES OF TRADE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF AZERBAIJAN AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF THE USSR
The author mentions that the transition to a market-based, competitive economy played a crucial role in Azerbaijan’s foreign policy since 1991.

TRENDS IN RERTURBATIONS OF THE GLOBAL WORLD ORDER: RUSSIA'S EURASIAN PERSPECTIVE
This article analyzes trends in changing the global world order and new opportunities for Eurasian integration, as well as Russia's role in integration processes. The author considers the quasi-concept «New Yalta» as a variant of a new redistribution of the world with the leadership of Russia–China–the United States. As a consequence of the redistribution of the world, changes in the balance of forces on the world stage, qualitatively new opportunities for integration of the post-Soviet space and interaction within the framework of the Great Eurasian partnership with key actors of Eurasia are analyzed. Considerable emphasis is placed on the forecast of the collapse of the liberal world order as the most characteristic expression of Pax America and the consequences of changing the configuration of forces in world politics in the form of a gradual departure of segments of elites in many countries from the liberal-globalist course. The author comes to the conclusion that the post-Soviet space, the Great Eurasian partnership as a format of interaction between countries in Eurasia, expects a qualitatively new stage of integration and predicts a possible change in the composition of integration actors.
Key words: global world order, Pax Americana, «New Yalta», Eurasian integration, Great Eurasian partnership.
