Abstract: The article concerns the main causes for the formation, development and resolution of modern conflicts. The author studies the historical fundamentals of the main currently existing conflict resolution theories, and provides comparative analysis. The conflicts form an inalienable component of the relations among the people. They take place in the relations of individuals, families, and social groups, states, and associations of states. This fact may be challenged only by absolute idealists, and still they would be speaking of relations without conflicts as an ideal, which may sometimes be achieved. In reality the conflicts among the people have always been, are and will be, and one may only speak of getting them into the “civilized framework”, and this term has been understood differently at the various stages of civilization development. The renowned British statesman W. Churchill wrote in his memoirs that he considered that the First World War should last a long while, and at that time he deemed necessary in 1919 to destroy all of the German cities with several thousand of planes, and to poison the populations of these cities by deadly poisonous gases. One could give many examples, when the representatives of “civilized nations’ discussed possibility of using the methods of war, which were long ago recognized as barbarian in the relevant decisions of the League of Nations and the UN.

Abstract: Raider takeovers remain one of the key economic and political problems in the modern Russia. However, for more than two decades by now there is no unified policy, and there is no clear and efficient legislative basis against raiders. That is why it is necessary to define the vector against raider takeover at the legislative level. The situation also has a political dimension, since there is a number of interest groups, who wish to preserve the situation as it is. The raider takeover problem comes to the level of the threat to the national security. In the point of view of the author, the priority goal is to provide for raider takeover as a crime in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
