people carefully (and not) watching the news, come to one conclusion.Not to panic, do not spoil your nerves, you must have your own ideas about the events.But this is impossible if you do not imagine that such a policy.World Arena is actually not particularly large.It is enough to clearly understand the forces and interests of the few players to understand what is happening and why.Let's deal with them.
What will be discussed?
world politics and international relations - a complex topic.More or less detailed
talk about it in a small article can not be.Nevertheless, indicate the main
principles and trends of what is happening on the world stage, it is possible.And you need to look and not listen to anyone who decides to speak on a particular topic.First, let's define the forces for whom politics (world) is the field of play.There are several.Most political scientists associate them with the States.So we proceed, not to be confused.
Here's a list of countries for which world politics and international relations are a vital theme.What is happening in this area, it can bring them off or influence, or complete destruction.Immediately, we note that this list - not an axiom.Over time, the arena there are new players, there are other options and circumstances.So: the US, China, Russia, the European Union.For these countries, the policy is the responsibility of the world, and best effort.There are other players.Among them are nuclear powers (the one who has the baton, deserves attention).Another aspect be taken into account when considering the global scene - the economy.It is therefore necessary to look at the heavyweights in this field.
Determination
multifaceted concept of world politics.It stems from the nature of the interaction of many factors.First of all, as mentioned above, accounted for the confrontation and interaction of various forces.Any (even the smallest) state has its own interests.It is trade, takes care of the security of citizens, builds
conditions for their prosperity.Offline now makes this impossible.The world has become global, that is, the level of interaction between the various countries, the penetration of each other cultures has become irreversible.That is the state that has a greater impact, can regulate the processes of development of society in their own interests.Thus, the policy world is a never-ending process of the struggle for power (for short).States are constantly interacting with each other, trying to create the conditions for obtaining priority in all areas of relations.
International Politics
If we look at this process in the functional sense, we can distinguish several themes carried by any national government, emerging on the world stage.Namely, the power, hegemony, balance and interdependence.It is important to take into account that we have to - it is the possibility of war and peace.International politics
can not be considered in isolation from its "source".That is, each country pursues its own goals based on national traditions and interests.Thus, in foreign policy takes into account not only short-term, in the circumstances prevailing goal, but typically the process, traditional behavior, based on the historical contexts.In its activities in this area, countries need to build on the analysis of many factors, including the understanding of the nature of wars, crises, or unions.
structure of the world system
Historically, political global processes can be divided into certain stages.The first - zero.It does not matter, because it does not affect the current state of affairs.Next, release the pre-modern, current, thereafter.This international cooperation is constantly intensified.To regulate the processes of the entire system is necessary to ensure appropriate structures to ensure the regulation of economic, social, cultural and political spheres.Of course, these add-ins interact with each other, ensuring consistency of their activities.
objectives of the global system
Described the players together must meet certain criteria to even minimally meet the needs of our time.There are four basic their functions.The first - a means of communication.The system needs to create the conditions to allow unhindered exchange of information, its free transmission and processing.The second - the creation and integration of the necessary subsystems.Third - the criteria of loyalty.This means that the entire system must always be correlated with a subject elaborated the concept of utility.Fourth - the system of social values, including the collective memory, self-awareness, self-determination and awareness, the possibility of interpreting their own experience.
of hegemony
World US policy is aimed at building a "unipolar world."This kind of system in which one of the countries (States) performs a leading role.It is recognized by the international community at a time criterion and guarantee of mutual cooperation and development of mankind.US operations for the construction of a world order based on two "pillars".They are leaders in the financial cooperation, as well as military cooperation.These two priorities may optionally be used as a "carrot" or "stick".Since States have the greatest respect to the other nations share in the IMF, they affect its decisions on the allocation of credits.And the army is used to enable (or creating) crises.
problems of world politics
omni directionality vectors objectives of the various organizations and countries leads to conflict situations.One of the greatest threats at the moment is international terrorism.Global security is built by reducing the risks of various levels.Its software is possible only if the cooperation of all States.In the context of globalization builds the unity of mankind, based on sociological characteristics that have the same order.However, the differences in living conditions in the states give rise to radical movements, including terrorist wing.
critical heterogeneity of economic and cultural development of the countries in the fairly wide information field creates the conditions for the emergence and manifestations of discontent, the desire of certain groups to change the order of things.On the resolution of these conflicts, their causes focus of world politics.Its goals - the creation of safe, comfortable and convenient for the residents of the "global world".
About Russia
practically insoluble contradictions between the interests of the countries give rise to a threat to humanity once rolling a structural crisis.
thing is that the current world order does not satisfy the needs of society.Every now and then occur "failures" in the work of its bodies and institutions.World Russia's policy is aimed at solving these contradictions.Country offers its partners think about the future of mankind, build relationships so that the needs (if possible) of all members of the community.In this paper, it is necessary to pay attention to cultural characteristics, the development of economic and political structures, possible trends and historical features of countries.The balance in the global structure can be achieved through mutual respect of its members.Russia offers to form unions and associations on an equal footing, abandoning the "hegemony" of one of the players.This position will not only contribute to the development of different states, but also reduce global risks.
Trends in International Relations
Political analysts believe that the history of mankind can be roughly divided into five stages.Each of them came to an end the crisis, which in due time, but not without bloodshed overcome.In the twenty-first century, humanity is faced with a new challenge.Military solution to the conflict in order to survive at least some part of the world's population, according to experts, is almost impossible.Accumulated too many weapons of mass destruction.If you use only one nuclear warhead, the planet could just die along with all the residents.
That is to say that the international system develops in a spiral, regularly bumping into crisis.The dynamics and intensity of its growing exponentially, including all new dimensions.When the First World War was associated with a section of influence in Europe, today are the ownership of all the world's resources.Besides, the global political system has slipped into stagnation.It requires reformatting, the foundations of which have not yet been defined and developed.For example, the United Nations is clearly no longer has the impact for which it was created.Other international organizations have lost both financial and political resources.The world is increasingly slipping into "fights without rules".It requires reformatting the entire system until the outbreak of the last war.
