and functions

For the purpose of this article, the analysis of the
development of ethnoseparatism in West Europe has
been undertaken. Under current conditions, the
ethnical separatism threatens national security of
series of European countries and territorial integrity.
Special attention has been paid to social and political
beginnings and causes of terrorism in Spain and Great
Britain. The activity of such terrorist organizations as
IRA and ETA has been researched. Ideological basis
of violence, purposes and objectives, as well as the
main stages of formation and development of these
organizations have been disclosed. The author states
that the use of the terrorism as a method of political
struggle is destructive and does not facilitate a solution
to the national problems. We have also considered
approaches of the governments to solve the problems
of separatism and terrorism on the territory of these
countries. In their counter-terrorism efforts political
leaders of Spain and Great Britain have used both
methods of force and political and legal methods,
namely, granting to the regions of wide economical
and political independence, preservation of authentic
cultural values and language of indigenous people.
The formation of violence intolerance in public
conscience as control method has become the main
direction of the antiterrorist policy in the countries
under consideration. Anti-terrorist model which has
been developed by the European countries can be
effective and useful for the regions being in
ethnopolitical conflicts
The article is devoted to the problem of legitimization
of new states that came into be in the post-socialist
period as a result of secession processes. The
relevance of this topic is accounted for by the
intensification of these processes in various parts of
the world and the ensuing quest of the new polities for
independence and recognition. These processes reflect
a historically grounded discrepancy between the need
of the people in the new states for self-identification
and the desire to keep their territorial integrity intact.
This is aggravated by the fact that political and legal
settlement of the problem of international recognition
of the new polities has so far not been achieved. This
leads to various conflicts, misunderstanding and the
policy of double standards. The key idea consists in
the following: a fully valid legitimacy of power in the
“de facto”, or “contested” states cannot be achieved
through the internal recognition of power alone,
without the external constituent – the international
recognition of the new polity. The article also focuses
on the interpretation of various names attributed to
such polities, especially those that sprang up on the
post-soviet territories. A special attention is devoted to
highly contested conceptual and legal approaches to
the problem, subject for discussions in the politicolegal
sphere
The article focuses on how to define the notion of
youth as it is considered today, and is aimed to reveal
the main social functions in this category, such as
educational, professional, cultural, and others,
depending on particular historical conditions.
A high-demand model of focusing young people's
attention on numerous tasks and contemporary
challenges the modern society faces is described
within the context of the youth leadership concept.
This results in working out some strategic programmes
and training courses.
The peculiarities of the youth labor market give the
opportunity to integrate into the market economy and
form young people's attitude to labor. The crucial point
is to figure it out how the modern system of youth
involvement can be correlated with some structural
components that determine common competitive
features and preferences of the young generation. A
resource-balanced approach to organizing quality labor
and social activity of the young generation is presented
in the article
On the basis of the principles set in the Constitution,
election is the only democratic and legal way access to
power. On the one hand, elections are the most widely
used form of the implementation of direct power of
people. On the other hand, it is the most democratic
way of organizing the the state power and local
government authorities. At the same time, elections
are political tools for the realization of citizens’ the
right to vote, and an oppartunity of assesment the state
power and local government authorities. In this article,
the most widespread electoral systems in the world
and their application possibilities in Azerbaijan were
analyzed, at the same time has been talking about the
features of the election system of Azerbaijan were
studied
The development of information and communication
technologies of the socio-political sphere acquires
new quality and presentation and implementation of
political action from the federal level to the
municipalities. In this connection it is necessary to
consider and to conceptualize the notion of "network
of local politics", highlight it institutionalized (eg,
local government) and non institutionalized actors
(such as local community network), describe their
communication channels, and methods and tools
used. All this will help to build a theoretical model of
the "network of local politics" allows analyzing
social and political processes at the municipal level.
The need for this kind of analysis is connected with
the diversification of the local authorities in various
regions of Russia and uneven socio-economic
development of regions due to various socio-cultural
characteristics, geographical and other contexts
The article reveals the essence of the concept of social and political infantilism and investigates social and cultural background of infantilization, describes various forms of political immaturity manifested at the level of government; political institutions; society as a collective subject of political life; personal political infantilism and etc. The reasons of society infantilization are as follows: violation of the processes of political socialization, the distortion of the social and political reality by means of the media and social media and occurring deformation of the value orientations system, resulting from it. The values have a number of important functions: a constitutive, function a regulatory function and a, orientation one. One of the main functions is preserving the stability of social systems. This is what determines the importance of common values for large social groups. Their presence is a powerful unifying factor, while the destruction can lead to disturbances in the development and even the disintegration of society. The most vulnerable social group, in terms of manifestation of infantilism, is the youth. In the process of socialization the younger generations learn, correct, and form certain values, displaying high activity. This feature is often used by young people to control social crises, to implement color revolutions, and etc. Youth inherent lability of consciousness and social orientations instability makes it relatively easy to manipulate this social group in the political process, affecting primarily the system of their values. This will drastically increase the importance of the revival of the youth socialization mechanisms at a qualitatively new level and reduce the risks of its infantilization
The article analyzes the features of ethno-political conflicts in the 21st century, originating on the territory of the post-Soviet and post-socialist space; considers the format, structure, purpose and reasons for intensification; reveals the nature and mechanisms of inter-ethnic confrontations, the reasons for their escalation in certain historical periods, the similarity of the "scenarios" of their development, the role of external and internal factors in the outbreak of ethnic conflicts and their stimulating. The work considers the role of young people as a tool in the political struggle, the reasons for their sensitivity to the ideas of nationalism due to the lack of social experience or the impact of purposeful influence. It summarizes the examples the youth resource use in the process of unleashing, the so-called "color revolutions" and ethnic conflicts related to them, in countries such as Yugoslavia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Moldova. The article does a comparative analysis of successful and unsuccessful revolutionary projects in Armenia, Belarus and Russia. Most "activity" in the part of the preparation of this kind of movement is taking place in the post-Soviet space in the states that make up the core of a new interstate union EurAsEC, and preparation of opposition movements include stimulating Russophobia, rewriting of history and etc. The arising threats require an adequate response. Tae paper brings forward the ways of neutralizing the emerging threats; such as reassessment of the role of the youth; participation in the processes of socialization of young generations in state, public, political and social institutions; systematic and long-term work with young people, not limited to the formal framework of educational institutions, which will help to bring up the generation, resistant to viruses of ethno-nationalism
