COMMUNICATION STRATEGY OF ST. PETERSBURG IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ARCTIC POLICY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics of the communication strategy of Saint Petersburg, a city of federal significance, which is actively involved in the implementation of the state Arctic policy of the Russian Federation. It is noted that the institutionalized inclusion of Saint Petersburg in the space of Arctic communications, which was caused by the creation in 2018 of the relevant executive body – the Saint Petersburg Committee for Arctic Affairs, has led to the need to find methods and means of presentation in the new environment. Using the case study method, the author focuses on the issue of developing communication and media support for policy implementation in the Arctic direction. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the image of Saint Petersburg in media space is being formed as a city with significant Arctic competencies.

Key words: communication strategy, city branding, Arctic policy, regional policy, media, Saint Petersburg.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIRECT AND REPRESENTATIVE FORMS OF DEMOCRACY IN THE SYSTEM OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT IN RUSSIA

The institution of direct democracy at the level of local self-government is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The implementation of the principle of direct democracy occurs in its direct and representative forms. These two forms are in a constant process of interaction and mutual influence, reflecting not only their strengths and weaknesses, but also a certain political competition between them. It has been proven that it is not productive to talk about the priority or advantages of any form of direct democracy, direct or representative. Currently, their effective relationship is expressed in the synthesis of forms, the balance between them, their interaction and mutual influence.

Key words: local self-government, direct form of democracy, representative form of democracy, unified public authority.

AZERBAIJANI-TURKISH RELATIONS AFTER THE SECOND KARABAKH WAR: KEY DIRECTIONS AND PECULIARITIES

Analysing the bilateral relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan (AR) and the Republic of Turkey (TR) after the Second Karabakh War (SQW) is one of the key aspects in the study of contemporary geopolitical dynamics. The aim of the study is to identify the peculiarities and key areas of development of Azerbaijani-Turkish relations after the Second Karabakh War (SQW), which allows for a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the two countries in the post-conflict period. This study focuses on the significance of the treaties signed after the war and the role of the Shusha Declaration in the context of the politico-military sphere between Azerbaijan and Turkey. The impact of Azerbaijan's accession to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on the dynamics of relations and support from Muslim countries belonging to this organisation is also examined. The author analyses the reasons for complications in the implementation of the «3+3» format proposed by Ilham Aliyev and its significance for ensuring security in the economic and regional spheres through the Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO). It is emphasised that closer and better relations between Turkic countries after the war could play a key role in the creation of a Turanian army. Furthermore, the strategic importance of the TAP and TANAP projects to increase oil and natural gas sales to Europe is emphasised, which contributes to the development of both countries. Turkish President Erdogan and Azerbaijani President Aliyev signed the «Protocol on the Decommunisation Dimension between the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Azerbaijan in connection with the Kars-Nakhchivan railway project» and jointly laid the foundation stone of the Igdir-Nakhchivan gas pipeline. In addition, the importance of cultural and humanitarian co-operation as well as the impact of improved relations on the development of tourism and academic exchange between the Republic of Azerbaijan (AR) and the Republic of Turkey (TR) was noted.

Key words: Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic of Turkey, bilateral relations, military-political sphere, multilateral cooperation, economic cooperation, trade relations, diplomacy, transport, Karabakh war.

EAEU AS A REGIONAL MECHANISM OF INTEGRATION

In the context of globalization and the transformation of the global economic system, regional integration associations are becoming key factors in economic development and political stability. The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) represents one of the most significant initiatives in the post-Soviet space aimed at deepening economic ties among member states. Currently, regional integration is becoming an essential tool for countries facing new challenges such as trade wars, sanctions, and increasing protectionism. In this context, the Eurasian Economic Union serves as an interesting object for study, as it demonstrates a model of economic coordination among countries with shared history and economic interests. This integration requires a thorough analysis aimed at identifying both its successes and problems.

This article examines the EAEU in the context of various theoretical concepts of integration and analyzes it as a regional integration mechanism, focusing on its achievements, challenges, and development prospects. Special attention is given to the economic and political aspects of the integration processes.

Thus, this research is relevant not only for understanding the integration processes within the EAEU but also for identifying their role in the context of global trends, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive and multifaceted analysis of integration mechanisms in the Eurasian space.

Key words: regional integration, Eurasian Economic Union, EAEU, sanctions, protectionism, economic coordination, theories of integration, economic union, customs union, free trade area, single market, free labor market, financial integration, creation of a single currency, deepening integration, regional associations.

FOREIGN EXPERIENCE OF NATIONALIZATION POLICY

Studying foreign experience is necessary to identify common, special and individual features in any area of human activity. This article examines the experience of China, India and Western countries in implementing nationalization policy. From this experience, it is concluded that the main measures for nationalization are carried out in the political, economic and legal spheres. China is characterized by gradualism and stage-by-stage property reform. A feature of the privatization policy in India is the urgent need to solve problems of economic security, as well as the need to resolve contradictions associated with the uneven development of various regions of the country. The strong point of the US nationalization policy is the institutional component, namely, the timely improvement of the system of government bodies involved in state regulation of the economy.

Key words: policy, nationalization, privatization, law of unity and struggle of opposites, free market, state regulation.
