РАСПАД «СИСТЕМЫ»: ПРИЧИНЫ И ПОСЛЕДСТВИЯ
|
Annotation
|
| More than 20 years have passed since the day (November 9, 1989) when the East German patrols guarding the symbol of the Cold War – the Berlin Wall, left their duty stations and Germany unified de-facto. The fragments of the fallen “wall” became hot selling souvenirs and thus, in a way they remained symbols but this time around, symbols of the new era. Two years later the USSR and the “socialist bloc” ceased to exist. |

ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ АТОМНОЙ ЭНЕРГЕТИКИ В АРМЕНИИ
|
Annotation
|
| The energy security has always played a key role in the system of national security of Armenia. This was conditioned by the fact that the Armenian energy sector suffered the most from the collapse of USSR. The energy supplies through the territory of Azerbaijan were halted ensuing the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, and since early 1990s the only supply route remaining was the one through Georgia, which had been suffering a political crisis. |

АРМЕНОЦИД: ИСТОРИЧЕСКИЙ ПРЕЦЕДЕНТ СТОЛКНОВЕНИЯ ЦИВИЛИЗАЦИЙ
|
Annotation
|
| In present days, it has become fashionable to speak about the dialogue of civilizations, but one should not forget about the incompatibility of the cultures and civilizations, which often causes conflicts with tragic consequences. One of such facts is the Armenocide, among many causes of which the cultural factor was also present. In fact, it was a consequence of the long-standing ethnic conflict between Christian Armenians and Sunni Turks from the Balkans to Anatolia and Caucasus. Being unable to assimilate the alien culture, the Turkish nationalist elite adopted a strategic objective to uproot and annihilate it. |

ИСТОРИЧЕСКОЕ ЗНАЧЕНИЕ АРМЯНСКОЙ ПИСЬМЕННОСТИ, ПЕРЕВОДЧЕСКОЙ И ОРИГИНАЛЬНОЙ ЛИТЕРАТУРЫ В АСПЕКТЕ ДИАЛОГА ЦИВИЛИЗАЦИЙ
|
Annotation
|
| Writing is an important factor of inter-civilizational relations through translated, as well as original literature. Armenia’s centuries-old written legacy in the treasury of world culture is very much conductive to the dialogue of civilizations which is a guarantee for the security of the world civilization. In the history of humankind the origin and development of writing conditioned verbal preservation of spiritual values and passing them to the future generations in a written form. Written sources are of great importance in the study of history as the history of civilization, consequently “societies with writing have left far more behind them than those without”. |

ИМИДЖ СТРАНЫ И МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫЕ ОТНОШЕНИЯ: АТМОСФЕРА XXI ВЕКA
|
Annotation
|
| This article is primarily based on the analysis of the image projected by other actors, using the image of Armenia in the so-called “quality” American press as an example, since the influence of these media on making important political decisions is well known. These are The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (all materials published in 1991-2009) [1]. Unfortunately, so far it is difficult to discuss the opposite process (i.e. the image that we make). On the other hand, we believe this analysis and the provided examples might be more useful in making own image than a mere restatement of the known PR methods. |

К ВОПРОСУ О ПЕРСПЕКТИВЕ НАЦИОНАЛЬНОЙ ИДЕНТИЧНОСТИ
|
Annotation
|
| One of the most significant issues in the globalization context that draws the attention of the scholarly community is the perspective of the national identity. As U. Beck contends, “experiential space of the individual no longer coincides with national space.” Many works have been devoted to the perspective of the national identity, but none of them appears to follow a more or less dominating direction, which can be explained by a number of reasons. First, it is difficult indeed to make forecasts about the perspective of the national identity in the overall uncertainty of the nation-state’s destiny. |

ГРУЗИЯ: ИДЕНТИЧНОСТЬ В ПОЛИТИЧЕСКИХ ПРОЕКТАХ И В ДЕЙСТВИИ
|
Annotation
|
| During the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century the social and political developments in Georgia may be characterized as a process of creation of a nation state, which is generally characteristic of the modernization period. The “National Project” initiated by Georgia back in 1918-1921 in its essence was a process of state creation, which had a continuous character and was not interrupted even in the period of Soviet Georgia. And since 1991 this process entered its next, most active stage and is still on the political agenda. It will remain long on the political agenda of the ruling elite, regardless of what are the ideological grounds uniting these forces. |

ВНУТРЕННЯЯ ПОЛИТИКА СОВРЕМЕННОЙ ГРУЗИИ
|
Annotation
|
| After gaining independence in 1991 chaos reigned in Georgia. The economy totally collapsed due to a number of serious problems. Among them were the lost war with insurgent Abkhazia and Ossetia, the civil war, the collapse of the former governance system. The wrong policies of the authorities, including the initiative by Shevardnadze to deposit funds in the Savings Bank with the promise to return twice the amount, contributed to this as well. In a consequence, the economy of Georgia actually became bankrupt and has not come out of recession to date. |
