ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE SYSTEM-STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION OF THE RELATIONSHIPS OF KEY ELEMENTS IN THE SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT OF RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

The article discusses information and analytical technology implemented in the systems supporting research and educational activities based on the possibilities of semantic analysis of digital content (structured knowledge bases, consisting of various technical, scientific, etc. materials and results of testing innovative agents) for the detection of conformity of the formed package of the results of scientific and technical activities with the designed standard organizational patterns of concentration of the most important information in key areas of knowledge of the relevant authority.

The article suggests the technology of semantic analysis of information resources forming the e-content as a result of various forms of multi-agent communication in scientific and technical activities, including jobs and related thematic scientific and technical materials, as well as the results of scientific and technological activities with the purpose of matching the individual data of innovative agents with the developed success criteria for the generation of information in key areas of knowledge for various types of scientific, educational, project, etc. organizations. In the course of analysis, the authors suggest to highlight indicators of the characterizing chains (or rather, systematic structural matrix) of semantic relations in respect of the movement of cognitive-information items in the electronic communication that identifies the electronic packages of knowledge, integrated with adaptive 3D shells for their correction. The technology in question is offered as a part of the technology that can be used to manage research and educational associations, using the information systems to support research and educational activities.

Key words: information, knowledge, information system, e-content, semantic communication, research and education network.

PROBLEMS OF CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE PHENOMENON OF CORRUPTION PART II

The article is devoted to an instrumental conceptualization of corruption, including classification of its forms and definition of the institutional mechanism. The article analyzes the traditional conceptual approaches to corruption. It is shown that the main aspects of the regulatory value approach are: value assessment of corruption as a clearly negative phenomenon; the correlation of corruption with violations of the laws or norms of morality and ethics; consideration of corruption as a deviant behavior. The author accented ambiguous and problematic issues of such approach. Rationalist approach to corruption, which includes the economic approach, is characterized by the fact that the preference is not of value estimates and different standards but of functional evaluation of various manifestations and consequences of corruption. Justification is provided for the insolvency of claims about the positive functions of corruption, its positive role as a means of deregulation to overcome bureaucratic barriers. The article reveals a generalized mechanism of corruption, which consists in the fact that an official of an administratively organized structure goes beyond the established limits and violates the normative regulation of his/her official powers and rights, including standards of business conduct and ethics, and (or) societal norms of behavior, of ethics and morality and unlawfully distributes and uses resources of the structure not to implement its functions and tasks but to retrieve personal or group benefits. The article presents the author's interpretation of the concept of "political corruption" and describes a hierarchical system of forms of political and economic corruption, the top of which is "capture of the state" by corruption. The article also contains classification of the types of administrative resources of public power, abuse of which is the crux of the institutional mechanism of corruption in the sphere of public authority. From the point of instrumental conceptualization, corruption in the sphere of public authority is defined as an abuse or misuse by the public official of managerial resources of public authority not to implement the functions of the state and ensure the goals of social development but to obtain any improper advantage, extracting personal and / or group benefits including in favor of third parties, benefits that can have both tangible and intangible expression.

Key words: corruption, public power, conceptual approach, institutional mechanism, administrative resources.

RUSSIA AND THE NEW RULES OF GEOPOLITICAL GAMES

The given article presents analysis of contemporary geopolitical situation in the world. The author proves that the growth of international tensions caused by disappearance of the balance of power in world politics as well as the strategy of hegemonic power of the U.S. actualizes the necessity of activation of political role of the Russian Federation in the world. The author argues the common understanding that the status of the “superpower” on the world stage is primarily determined by economic parameters. With the decrease of international powers of the United States, the illusion of “American exceptionalism” vanishes that leads to transformations of geopolitical and geostrategical configurations. In this regard, Russian military operation in Syria clearly demonstrates the return by Russia of its superpower status in world politics and the elimination of the imaginary monopoly of NATO on “precision war”. Thus, Russian Federation demonstrates a fundamentally different foreign policy model based on respect for international law, the principles of national sovereignty and multilateral cooperation. The return of Russia's superpower status is determined by its ability to openly oppose the US on issues of fundamental importance and requires the consolidation of Russian society, formation of state ideology and the intensification of efforts to build foreign alliances and participate in integrational associations.

Key words: geopolitics, political leadership, foreign policy of the Russian Federation, NATO, Syria.

RELATIONS WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION: A NEW STAGE

In the summer of 2015, President Vladimir Putin stated the need to clarify the foreign policy concept of our country.

Russia has repeatedly expressed support for such a structure, as it has always been clearly against the unipolar world and addressing the critical issues of international relations by one state or a narrow group of states.
