THE PHENOMENON OF INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF ETHNICITY: SOCIO-HUMANITARIAN INTERPRETATIONS AND POSSIBLE DIRECTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
The paper summarizes the most common approaches to the study of the institutionalization of ethnicity. It is shown that, although they fully reflect the institutional aspects of fixing ethnicity in the political course, they cannot describe the entire spectrum of mechanisms for the incorporation of ethnicity into the political process. Theoretical and methodological extensions are proposed, which consist in setting in a broad interpretation of the institution, relying on the understanding of institutionalization as a process of continuity of transformation under the significance of extra-institutional factors and orientation to regions that are different in terms of ethnic composition.
Key words: institutionalization, institutionalization of ethnicity, politicization of ethnicity, ethnic identity.

THE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY OF ANARCHO-CAPITALISM
This article is devoted to understanding the political theory of anarcho-capitalism – the concept of a society that exists in a free market without political, legal, social and economic state institutions. This direction of political thought took shape in the 1960s and 70s. in the writings of Murray Rothbard and David Friedman within the framework of American conservatism, which consistently advocates limiting the powers of the federal government, as well as the state as a whole. From a methodological point of view, Rothbard builds on the deontological ethics of the prohibition of violence (the libertarian "non-aggression principle") and has receive coverage in Russian political science and economic discourse. This cannot be said about the no less curious works of David Friedman which methodologically are based on fundamentally different, largely less radical and more reasoned consequentialism, which seeks to compare the economic efficiency of the state and the market. The author examines the historical and political context of the United States, within which anarcho-capitalism was formed; offers its own synthesis of the key ideas and arguments of the concept under consideration; ideas are identified that have applied significance for modern political science and have already been largely accepted by American conservative thought and the Republican Party.
Key words: anarcho-capitalism, american conservatism, classical liberalism, libertarianism, Friedman, Rothbard, Huemer, Republican Party.

DEPENDENCE OF MODERN RUSSIAN ELITE ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC SANCTIONS OF LEADING WESTERN COUNTRIES AS A THREAT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Since 2014, the Russian Federation has been subjected to the most severe sanctions pressure from the United States and the countries of the European Union. The reason for this was the coup d'etat that took place in Ukraine, as a result of which part of the country seceded and demanded autonomy, however, without finding understanding from the new government, an armed conflict broke out. Against this background, the inhabitants of Crimea, through a referendum, wished to become part of the Russian Federation, which became the reason for the complete economic blockade of the country. These sanctions were painful for the Russian economy, but had a dual effect on it, stimulating the development of its own production, and were applied against the Russian Federation over the past eight years. At the same time, the tension in relations between Russia and Ukraine increased more and more, resulting in a military conflict that continues to this day. This became the formal reason for the enormous number of economic sanctions imposed by the US and the EU on the economy of the Russian Federation, which have already affected not only the economic sectors and the state, but also its political elites. At the same time, sanctions are often illegal, affecting people who are in no way interested in the development of this conflict and have not taken any action to escalate it. Nevertheless, many of the influential people of the Russian Federation, at the initiative of politicians from the European Union and the United States, were deprived of their property. At the same time, they faced blocking of bank accounts and suffered other losses related to foreign business. This article is an attempt to determine how dependent the Russian Federation is on the mood of the modern Russian elite, faced with socio-economic sanctions and their impact on the national security of the country.
Key words: national security, economic sanctions, modern Russian elite, sociological research, influence on the state.

EXPANSION OF NATO TO THE EAST NEAR THE RUSSIAN BORDER AS AN OVERT THREAT OF MILITARY PRESSURE ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY AND SOVEREIGNTY OF RUSSIA
The NATO alliance conducted active military training, working out possible strategies for invading Russia. The head of the CIA, William Burns, urged not to look at Russia when expanding NATO and admitting new members to the alliance. The presence of US military biological laboratories in Ukraine indicates a long-standing desire of the West to draw Ukraine into NATO to create a foothold against Russia. Since Ukraine gained independence, the West has used all political and ideological methods to turn Kyiv into a springboard for the battle with Russia. The expansion of the alliance to the east and the deployment of the bloc's military infrastructure near Russia's borders contradicts assurances about the defensive nature of NATO. Washington unilaterally withdrew from the Treaty on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems, the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles, and the Open Skies Treaty, and in Romania and Poland, the United States deployed an anti-missile defense system, the installations of which allow launching offensive missiles on Russian territory. In December 2021, Moscow presented proposals on security guarantees to the US and NATO, which implied the non-expansion of the bloc to the east and the return of the alliance's military infrastructure to the configuration of 1997. However, this set of initiatives was ignored.
Key words: national security, NATO, special military operation, weapons, conflict in Ukraine, integrity of Russia.

Special attention is paid to Europe and the Indo-Pacific region. It is noteworthy that the Strategy announced an intention to reduce dependence on strategic resources supplies and to create a new European security architecture adapted to modern challenges and threats.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL EDUCATION IN MODERN WORLD POLITICAL PROCESSES
The importance of school education in the process of political transformation of the contemporary world remains essentially unexplored topic. Given the fact that one fifth of adolescents remains today out of school and thus in future this group will be deprived of the possibility to fully participate in the world economic and other processes, the development of school education is a problem which cannot be ignored in the discussion of political transformation of the modern world.

THE ROLE OF TECH TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS IN THE SYSTEM OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALIZATION
The article is devoted to the problem of the role of GAFAM companies (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon и Facebook (Meta)) in the modern system of international relations under the conditions of digitalisation. The role of GAFAM-companies in the system of international relations is determined by their extensive economic resources, as well as by their access to "leverages", which allow GAFAM-companies to shape the domestic and foreign policy of states. Due to the access to these "leverages" GAFAM-companies exercise a significant influence on international relations. The modern system of international relations is characterized by the crisis of the Westphalian system and the wea the role of the state. At the same time, the largest tech companies have acquired unprecedented influence, which challenges the process of democratization of society.
The article consists of the following parts: description of the goal, hypothesis and objectives of the research; general characteristics of the role of the state in the system of modern international relations and interaction of GAFAM-companies with states; discussion of political "leverages", access to which allow GAFAM-companies influence states and international relations, namely: lobbying their interests; impact on the results of elections or referendums; application of algorithms of ranking information in order to form a certain point of view of the population on political issues, which influence and form the public opinion.
Results of the research demonstrate that tech transnational corporations use their extensive economic resources and power of media influence in order to supersede the role of states in the system of international relations. The leading role of GAFAM companies in the modern architecture of international relations is a natural result of globalisation and digitalisation trends, as well as the inevitable crisis of the Westphalian system. In prior years, large transnational companies did not have such a strong influence on states and international relations, while today the GAFAM-companies are shaping the future face of the world, because they have access to "leverages", which influence states, as well as access to economic resources, vast amounts of data, and the ability to broadcast information, including political one, to form the political position of the population.
Key words: international relations, GAFAM-companies, digital economy, globalization, digitalization, democracy, popular sovereignty, national sovereignty, information warfare.

THE IMPACT OF US GEOPOLITICS ON SECURITY IN EUROPE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE UKRAINIAN CONFLICT
This article discusses some of the main arguments for a Russian "special operation" in Ukraine. First, it explores the duality of current geopolitical conditions and how events are understood as a challenge to a global liberal project based on economic competition rather than territorial rivalry.
Secondly, a realistic way of explaining and understanding the Russian "special operation" and principles from the point of view of small states is briefly explored. The liberal and realist understandings of world politics are basically quite similar. Both share and articulate the belief that there is a coherent geopolitical global order and that it is the duty of powerful states to maintain and enforce that order.
Thirdly, and most importantly, Russia carried out a preemptive strike on the territory where the American "conspiracy" was brewing, in the person of Ukraine, which was becoming an forpost of NATO and the United States. In addition, the article discusses the chronological background of the event and its subsequent results and trends.
The purpose of this article is to achieve an expanded understanding of US geopolitics in the Eastern part of the European continent. The objectives of the study are to identify the causes and future trends of the American establishment in the direction of Ukraine.
The article uses general scientific and special methods. The general scientific methods used in the study include methods of deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis, analogies used to identify factors, trends and transformation of the European security system under the influence of the United States, as well as a comparative research method.
Key words: USA, special operation, Ukraine, security, weapons, West, liberalism, geopolitics, sanctions.

FOREIGN POLICY THREATS TO SECURITY IN THE POST-SOVIET SPACE FROM AFGHANISTAN
The article deals with the security issues of the post-Soviet space in the context of the existing threat from Afghanistan, where representatives of the military-political terrorist organization Taliban (banned on the territory of the Russian Federation) have recently come to power. The purpose of this study is to determine how dangerous the current government of Afghanistan is for neighboring post-Soviet countries. During the study, methods of historical and comparative analysis, content analysis and a number of other general scientific methods were used. Based on the analysis, the author reveals that the events taking place on the territory of Afghanistan and in its northern border regions largely contradict the statements of the central Afghanistan government, which in turn does have no actual power over its territory.
Key words: Afghanistan, Taliban, terrorist group, hierarchy of governance, crisis of governance, uncontrolled territories.

LEGITIMIZATION OF THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE IN MODERN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION ASPECT
The implementation of military policy by States and their coalitions in modern international relations is characterized by the active involvement of civil society in the processes of legitimizing the use of military force. Thanks to the global mass media and communication, military-civil interaction is implemented at the regional and global level. Its peculiarity is the involvement of transnational corporations, financial groups, and international organizations in the process of legitimizing acts of the use of military force. The positions and views of participants in international civil-military relations, replicated in the information space, form the discourse of international civil-military relations. In the absence of a unified international policy for managing the global information space, the discourse of international civil-military relations is used by military-political actors to promote their interests and justify armed violence. The observed transformation of value priorities in international relations allows international actors to manipulate in the information space the dominant narrative of justice in the international community within the framework of justifying military aggression. The weakness of the existing mechanisms for regulating the information activities of subjects of armed violence actualizes the search for alternative ways to coordinate their interests in the information space.
Key words: international civil-military relations, military-political actors, military policy, armed violence, global information space, discursive confrontation, international information security.

INTERNATIONAL SPORTS GAMES "CHILDREN OF ASIA" IN VLADIVOSTOK AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE USE OF SPORTS AS A "SOFT POWER" TOOL
In the current international situation, the Asia-Pacific region is an important area for realizing the interests of our country, and the strategy of "Russia's Pivot to the East" has long been announced by Vladimir Putin as one of the priorities for its foreign policy agenda. Strengthening international relations with neighboring countries in the Asia-Pacific region is possible using the strategy of "soft power" - a relatively new direction of political thought, which consists in the achievement of international interests based on attractiveness, mutual sympathy and voluntary participation. An important tool of "soft power" today is sport, which, although intended to be "out of politics", still influences the atmosphere of interstate relations in one way or another and can contribute to their "warming". As a leading example of a sporting event for the entire article that can positively influence Russia's international relations with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the author considers the upcoming VII International Sports Games "Children of Asia", which will be held in Vladivostok from July 27 to August 8, 2022. The successful implementation of all the planned tasks during the Games will most likely lead to the improvement and development of international cooperation with countries that are participated un the Games in other industries.
Key words: international relations, foreign policy, Children of Asia, Asia-Pacific region, sports, Vladivostok, sports games, soft power, pivot to the East.
