Abstract:
Review and analysis of the key scenarios of development of military and political situation in the Asian-
Pacifi c region, as refl ected in this article, clearly shows that currently and in the near future it is not likely
that there shall be large armed confl icts in this region. In the author’s point of view, the processes here shall
rather relate to establishing the borderlines between the interests of key players and to the strategic regrouping
of those, who claim military, political and economic domination in the region. For Russia there shall be
more opportunities for the further development of economic relations with the APR states and for the inner
development of the Eastern regions. The key goals is to strengthen the defense potential of Russia in the East
to the suffi cient level, which would guarantee reliable protection of its national interests.

Abstract:
The communication aspect of international security today is increasingly investigated by European researchers
rather than Russian. However, both domestic and foreign researchers increasingly admit that it is
necessary to develop different management solutions in the sphere of security, algorithms with predictable
results. The times of crisis and rising instability in different regions including Europe and Latin America
make the current theme especially important. In the present article we shall try to research the motivation
of the ethno-religious terrorists’ attacks in the European Union and Latin America and also obstacles in a
way of antiterrorist struggle.

Abstract:
Analysis of the use of social networks at the time of revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt shows that their infl uence
on the situation is greatly overrated. Nevertheless, these are the instruments, which are actively used
by the Department of State of the USA and other American foundations and centers in order to facilitate
their infl uence in certain states. In fact the “new media” became new instruments in the information warfare,
which the USA wages around the world in its own interests.

Abstract:
The problem of correlation of “values and interests” in the foreign policy is viewed in this article through
the prism of the US policy in the Central Asia in 1991 – 2008. It is shown why the American administration
failed to resolve it within the framework of the doctrine of “aggressive realism”. It is stressed out that the
support of fast democratization of the region without due consideration of its specifi c features did not allow
the Washington to fully implement its strategic goals in the Central Asia, including those in the sphere of
security and confi guration of the regional sub-system of international relations.

Abstract:
The events in Libya (the antigovernment revolt and the following intervention of the international forces)
had a major effect on the communication support of the foreign policy of the ALBA states.
This effect manifested itself in the escalation of the information warfare between the member-states of the
ALBA integration alliance, on the one side, and the USA and the EU, on the other. The support of the Gaddhafi
regime became part of the communication policy of Latin-American leaders (Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro,
Evo Moralez, Raphael Correa, Daniel Ortega) proclaiming as its goal the creation of a new world order.

Abstract:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia has a special role in the formation of a positive international image
of the country. The whole system of the Russian MFA is involved in the design, broadcast and “laundering”
of Russia’s image abroad: the central offi ce headed by the Department of Press and Information, diplomatic
and consular missions of the Foreign Ministry and its subordinate organizations. In fact, a positive perception
of Russia abroad is the mission of every Russian diplomat.

Abstract:
The public diplomacy is a complex of measures, which are aimed to study and to inform the foreign audience,
as well as to form contacts. Public diplomacy is also the relations among the states, which do not
use the traditional ties among the governments. In other words, public diplomacy presupposes open dialog
between the private persons and the non-governmental structures of the states. Such an interpretation of
public diplomacy is not the same with the interpretation, which is given to this term by the offi cial American
administration, which started its development in the fi rst place. According to the interpretation of the US
Administration, public diplomacy is fi rst of all infl uence on the social opinion in the states, with which interaction
is taking place, in order to infl uence foreign policy of such states. At the same time such diplomacy
may be implemented at the government level.

Abstract:
This article includes results of the analysis of the key strategic goals and directions of the “pipeline policy”
of the Russian Federation, its priorities, which in turn infl uence the process of formation of the foreign
policy of the state. Benefi cial geographical and geopolitical position of Russia allows it to implement export
of sources of energy in any necessary quantity, as well as to gain considerable dividends from the transit
functions. In order to achieve greater results, Russia attempts to implement the projects on transportation
on the sources of energy in bordering states of Europe and Asia, and to form a non-discriminatory regime
of transit of sources of energy.
