THE MILITARY AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE OF THE UNITED STATES AND WESTERN EUROPE IN THE EASTERN EUROPEAN REGION

Penkov M.Y.

Abstract

The subject of the study is the military policy of the United States and Western European countries in the Eastern European region. The article shows the focus of the US and Western Europe to con-solidate and expand its influence in the East European region and the establishment of the post-Soviet space “cordon sanitaire” around Russia. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the West's desire to use the Eastern European countries to create a zone of instability in the countries bordering on Russia and Euro-Atlantic integration processes in Eastern Europe. The main conclusion of the study is that the United States and Western European countries are using all possible, including clearly contrary to inter-national law, the methods (a good example is the Ukraine) to engage the countries of Eastern Europe and, in particular, the former Soviet republics into the orbit of its influence. At the same time for the sake of their own interests, they are ready to accept a purely political decision to integrate into Euro-Atlantic structures, even those countries that do not meet the criteria of the West.

Bazyleva S.P.

Abstract

The beginning of the XXI century was marked by a number of serious problems, including cancer, world hunger, environmental problems and increasing every year the problem of global terrorism, which poses a great threat to the security of the modern multipolar world. Uzbekistan today occupies a firm position in fight against terrorist threat. The principled position of Uzbekistan in the fight against terrorism is that “no country should exclude their participation in the fight against global terrorism, there must be no transit zones and "green corridors" for terrorist organizations”. The Central Asian region is one of the most vulnerable, because it is necessary to pay special attention to the strategy of the anti-terrorist security of the countries included in the structure of the Central Asian region. In this article, we consider the anti-terrorist policy of Uzbekistan in the framework of the regional anti-terrorist policy of the SCO.

THE DYNAMICS OF PEACEFUL RESOLUTION OF THE GEORGIAN-ABKHAZ CONFLICT (BEFORE THE AUGUST 2008 EVENTS)

Lasariya A.O.

Abstract

In this article, research attention is paid to the structure and dynamics of the peaceful resolu-tion of ethnopolitical conflicts in the Caucasus region (on the example of the Georgian-Abkhaz confrontation). The study takes into account the factors that were the catalysts of the escalation of the ethnopolitical conflict in the territory of Abkhazia. The collapse of the USSR and the collapse of the ideology of internationalism led to the need to develop a completely new identity. Most of the elites and socio-political movements of the post-Soviet period have focused on the formation of ideological structures from national and historical roots. In the last decade of the 20th century, the tendencies towards the realization of the right to national self-determination (in Abkhazia and South Ossetia) and on the other hand to maintain the territorial integrity of the state (for example, in post-Soviet Georgia) acquired an antagonistic character. An important political goal is to identify conceptual aspects of the resolution of the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict, which can be used as a basis for elaborating mechanisms for regulating ethnopolitical conflicts in the Caucasus region.
