THEORETICAL MODELS OF ETHNOPOLITICS IN MODERN RUSSIA
Modern national (ethno-national) policy reflects a system of principles, legally fixed views on the content of the activities of state bodies and public organizations in the field of interethnic relations. The development of legislative documents regulating the interaction of social actors is based on certain models that determine vertical and horizontal relations in management and in society as a whole.
The purpose of the article is to identify the main theoretical models of ethnic and national policy at the state and regional levels in modern Russia and conduct a comparative analysis of them. The object of research is the state national policy. The subject of the research: theoretical models of Ethnopolitics in modern Russia. The main research methods were: analysis, synthesis, modeling and typology.
Results. Based on the structural and functional approach, the models were typologized. The paper shows the limitations of the constructivist approach to theorizing in this area and to the mechanism for implementing models that poorly take into account the subjectivity of ethnic communities. Sharing the understanding of Russia as a Eurasian-type civilization, it is proved that the cultural phenomenon of civilization should not be transformed into a political and legal nation-civilization, since this will not contribute to the harmonization of inter-ethnic relations. The structure of a socio-cultural – oriented model of Ethnopolitics that contributes to the solution of the dilemma "ethnonation – civil nation" is proposed.
Key words: ethnos, nation, communities, ethnopolitics, interethnic integration, model, theoretical approaches, concepts, policy strategies.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE ADOPTION OF STATE GOVERNANCE DECISIONS IN THE FIELD OF ENSURING INFORMATION SECURITY OF RUSSIA – POLITICAL ANALYSIS
Analyzing the evolution of the Russian regulatory framework governing state policy in the field of information security, the author notes the growth of threats of an information-political nature both external (creation of cybernetic weapons by advanced countries) and internal (growth of social tension, in which the trigger for the transition to political protests may become any informational occasion).

Putin, which was expressed in the adoption and editing of the corpus of documents, while there is a commitment to prohibitive and protective tactics. The author draws attention to the need for constructing a dialogue between the government and civil society, suggests strengthening in the educational programs of Russian universities educational modules related to information policy and security issues.

NATIONAL REALITIES OF STATE DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DISCOURSE
The article analyzes the national realities of state development from the positions of socio-political and socio-economic perspectives. Can the population of Russia form a nation United by a common interest? Who should implement such a merger? The complexity of the situation is due to the fact that the country has entered a critical period when the question of future development must be decided on the basis of choosing a new development scenario. And this choice is due to the formation of opportunities for a modernizing leap, which, according to experts, is allocated no more than 10 years. Will the chosen development strategy allow Russia to enter the top five economies in the world?
Today in Russia there is socio-economic inequality, violations of the social rights of workers and entrepreneurs, alienation of labor, and the prestige of productive and conscientious work has decreased.
In the economic sphere, there is a significant sector of informal labor relations that does not allow the formation of a socially-oriented economy. There is an opacity of economic activity, distortion of law enforcement, and legal nihilism of citizens.
Today, the mass media mainly offer citizens a Western-type society as an optimal model, which has undeniable advantages with everything that is not Western. However, there is an uncritical borrowing of poorly studied and often misunderstood phenomena and mechanisms. This applies to the Bologna process, public procurement tenders, the reorganization of the research system, and so on.
Key words: nation, state, economic inequality, alienation of labor, financial system, socio-economic spheres of the state, socio-political spheres of the state, opacity of economic activity, national goals, strategic objectives.

TRENDS AND STRATEGIES OF COUNTER-ELITE ACTIVITY IN THE NORTH CAUCASUS
The Russian North Caucasus is still a region with a high degree of conflitogenicity, where clashes of different political systems and pressure groups are taking place. It combines both centrifugal and centripetal forces, impulses of development and archaization. As a part of the research task, the team of authors found it relevant to identify the main political actors who have the necessary economic and administrative resources, taking into account the socio-cultural specifics of the region. Based on the neo-institutional approach and structural and functional analysis, the authors studied the segment of the elite – counter-elites, which at the present stage are capable of influencing the political process and under certain conditions can transform into extremist groups. In conclusion, scientific conclusions and recommendations are developed.
Key words: Russia, North Caucasus, political elite, counter-elites, political process, tension, pressure groups, conflicts.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ENERGY STRATEGIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND THE EUROPEAN UNION
Since the end of the Cold War, the energy dialogue between Russia and the European Union has evolved and cooperation has gradually deepened. As a result of this process, the institutionalization of the energy dialogue began to take place, which was expressed in various formats of cooperation: bilateral meetings, summits, thematic groups, etc.
Afterwards, due to the political crisis in Ukraine, the majority of joint initiatives between Russia and the EU were suspended.
However, when analyzing the documents of long-term energy planning, it becomes obvious that both sides continue to talk about the process of institutionalization of energy development.

NORTHERN PACIFICA (NORTH PACIFIC CROSS-BORDER SPACE) IN THE SYSTEM OF REGIONAL AND GLOBAL SECURITY
In this article, the author analyzes the current problem, which explores the main areas of foreign policy activities of the countries of the Northern Pacific (North Pacific Cross-Border Space) (STTP), uniting the basins of Chukchi, Bering, Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan in the formation of regional and global security. The author assumes that the situation in the STTP is a prime example of the "transition" of security from regional to global. The economic interdependence of the states of this macro-region, which emerged as a result of the interweaving of economic interests of the four global (THES, China, Russia and Japan) and the four regional (Canada, two Koreas and Taiwan) powers has a great impact on the entire world situation and the construction of a new archipelago of global security.

LATGALIAN PROBLEM IN THE PERCEPTION OF THE LATVIAN SOCIO-POLITICAL ELITE
Ethnopolitical theory and practice often considers ethnopolitical processes as the interaction of clearly defined and understandable interests of groups. However, in reality, not only the articulation of interests, but also the very existence and boundaries of an ethnic group may be problematic. The complexity and inconsistency of the construction and politicization of the ethnic identity characterize, in particular, the position of Latgalians in modern Latvian society. Latgalian identity is disputed and problematized by the official discourse and is characterized by blurring among the Latgalians themselves. The article presents research data on the perception and assessment of the “Latgalian problem” among the representatives of the Latvian socio-political and managerial elite. Based on 15 interviews, it shows that the perception of the Latgalian ethnicity, the Latgalian language and public policy may have radically different interpretations and systems of argumentation. The differences relate not only to the perception of the status of the Latgalian language, which became the subject of political discussions at the beginning of the twenty-first century, but also to the nature and motivation of the state in relation to Latgalians and, most importantly, to the very existence of Latgalians as a special ethnic group. It is concluded that the fundamental uncertainty of Latgalian ethnicity, as a result of multidirectional mechanisms of social construction, contributes to the implementation of the identity policy by various forces, but at the same time makes it impossible to fix any political interpretation of the Latgalian problem in the public discourse.
Key words: Latgalians, Latgalian language, ethnic identity, identity politics, Latvia, national politics.

COOPERATION POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION WITH INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE UN AND THE WTO)
The article presents the results of the analysis of the EU's interaction with the international organizations. In modern conditions, the governments tend to unite their efforts aimed at the resolution of common problems, but the lack of a well-developed contractual process leading to a transparent implementation of the projects by the countries – members of international organizations, forces experts to focus on the ambiguity in the actions of existing cooperation due to the complexity of determining their effectiveness. This article examines the main directions of the EU internal and foreign policy and provides ways for the assessment and usefulness of a potential union. On the example of the UN and the WTO, the EU cooperation policy and its effectiveness are considered in detail.
Key words: the EU, international cooperation, the UN, the WTO, interaction, politics.

ANALYSIS OF THE REACTION OF THE LEADING ACTORS IN WORLD POLITICS TO THE EVENTS IN THE COUNTRIES OF THE “ARAB SPRING”
The article presents the reaction of Russia, the US, the EU and China to the events of the “Arab spring.” The position of the world's actors and the priority tasks that they face on the agenda are indicated. Thus, the demands of the protesters, in general, were received with sympathy, and the challenges faced by the powers became various.
Russia, in General, does not interfere in the situation in the region, and has chosen a more active position with regard to Syria. The country's policy demonstrated Russia's return to the Middle East. The US was forced to support the protesters who demanded democratic changes, which went against their own strategic interest. The EU met with crisis phenomena, since the beginning of events in the Arab world increased the flow of migrants, which reached a special scale during the war in Syria. in addition, it was not easy to develop common foreign policy decisions concerning the security of the Union, due to the difficulty of implementing a coordinated policy of many national States.

THE ROLE OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS IN RESOLVING THE ALBANIAN-YUGOSLAV CONFLICT (1920-1922)
The Albanian-Yugoslav conflict (1920-1922) is an internationalized regional conflict that has become a classic example of the successful resolution of an international dispute through the mediation of the League of Nations, which was involved in resolving the conflict by Albania; but as the negotiation process developed, all its participants reached a consensus on the political legitimacy of the organization’s activities, and its membership expanded. In addition to the political recognition of the League, the issue of the legal grounds for the participation of an international organization in conflict resolution was positively resolved. During the settlement of the dispute, the League of Nations demonstrated its strengths and potential in resolving such situations, which, in particular, include the creation of a convenient negotiation platform and a favorable environment for the settlement of the dispute, as well as an independent examination of the situation. At the same time, the League showed its weaknesses, such as the indecision (the instruments of political pressure on the parties were not used), dissatisfaction of the main participants with the settlement outcome at the first stages of the conflict.
Key words: League of Nations, Albania, Yugoslavia, conflict, settlement, mediation.

INTERNAL POLITICAL CONFLICT AS A FACTOR OF EVOLUTION IN THE COLOMBIAN STATE SYSTEM
The long-standing armed conflict in Colombia is one of the main problems concerning not only simple public security in Colombia, but also the controversy over the optimal forms of its internal political development. With the onset of protests in the late 2010s, as well as the ending of the «left swing» and the accompanying ideological shifts in the region, the problem of internal instability in one of the leading countries of Latin America appears to be especially considerable on the background of other discussions regarding the future state structuring route of Colombia, and that’s why the problem is relevant in terms of studying the features of Latin American politics. The current work aims to characterize the impact of the civil war on the adoption of chosen principles of internal political construction. In this context, the work has to complete the following scientific tasks: the analysis of the contemporary political system of Colombia; the use of the retrospective method to consider the development and to identify the essence of the armed conflict as a subject that influences political processes in Colombia; the assessment of this impact in regard of the last stages of the Colombian political system development considering two dimensions: the dimension of formal legal and regulatory acts and that of communicative and cultural aspects. Research methods include analysis of open sources of information, methods of abstract analysis in relation to actual changes that have occurred in the internal political structure of Colombia under the influence of civil conflict.
Key words: political systems, internal policy, internal political conflict, Colombia.
