In the former USSR, the Radionavigation Service was based on national radio systems without any real employment of foreign navigation aids. Separation of the independent sovereign States from the USSR caused problems in operating separate radionavigation systems (RNS) and resulted in failure to support the economic activity of the States with radionavigation data. Solving the problem for each new State individually seems unrealistic. Its solution can, however, be found through cooperation amongst the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the Internavigation Committee therefore suggested an initiative to coordinate these efforts via a new Radionavigation Intergovernmental Advisory Council. This suggestion was approved by the Independent States and the Council has been formed. Also, since operating the RNS in limited national interests seems inefficient, the Internavigation Committee is broadening international cooperation for the integration and joint exploitation of radionavigation systems in the interests of the world radionavigation community.

The aim of this research was the reconstruction of the system of categories through which Russians perceive the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Europe, and the world as a whole; to study the implicit model of the geopolitical space; to analyze the stereotypes in the perception of different countries and the superposition of mental geopolitical representations onto the geographic map. The techniques of psychosemantics by Petrenko, originating in the semantic differential of Osgood and Kelly's “repertory grids,” were used as working tools. Multidimensional semantic spaces act as operational models of the structures of consciousness, and the positions of countries in multidimensional space reflect the geopolitical stereotypes of respondents about these countries. Because of the transformation of geopolitical reality representations in mass consciousness, the commonly used classification of countries as socialist, capitalist, and developing is being replaced by other structures. Four invariant factors of the countries' descriptions were identified. They are connected with Economic and Political Well-being, Military Might, Friendliness toward Russia, and Spirituality and the Level of Culture. It seems that the structure has not been explained in adequate detail and is not clearly realized by the individuals. There is an interrelationship between the democratic political structure of a country and its prosperity in the political mentality of Russian respondents. Russian public consciousness painfully strives for a new geopolitical identity and place in the commonwealth of states. It also signifies the country's interest and orientation toward the East in the search for geopolitical partners. The construct system of geopolitical perception also depends on the region of perception.

Chahbahar, being part of an Indian grand design is playing its role for counter weighing to Gwadar Port whereas it also provides India with easy access to Afghanistan and CARs. On the other hand, Pakistans geo-political positioning has been revolving around its anomalous and eccentric relations with various states. The prime rationale for state relations and relevant alliances with states was to maintain harmony with neighboring countries but during world wars, entente meant fighting your brothers war. In this context, Pakistans acceptance by the world was relatively slower and its take-ups in making friends, in the political playland were much tricky. Pakistan was wary with the former USSR whereas the compliance to the US backfired on many occasions gradually made Pakistan withdraw from its upclose position with the US, therefore now it is time to make independent and rational decisions but yet in the best national interests.

The founding members of The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) consist of mostly the European countries. The organization which is regional in nature and more focused on Europe has global aims like contributing to developments of world trade and economic development of members and other countries in the process of economic development. Corporate Governance Principles published for the first time in 1999 by OECD that can be adapted by each country according to their circumstances, provide guidance to countries in order to achieve the objectives. Corporate Governance Principles mainly focus on the responsibility, fairness, transparency and accountability. Gaining their independence after the dissolution of Soviet Union, the countries established Commonwealth of Independent States. They began to build their economic structures and make their presence felt in the world economy. Some developments like establishment of capital market can be seen as the best example of that effect. For all countries including Eurasia, adapting to the new institutional arrangements for businesses has become more important to continue their existence. Moreover, such integration between the CIS and world countries will contribute positively to developments of economic and cultural relationships. In this respect, enterprises in CIS countries are expected to shape their organizational structure according to international rules and standards. In this paper, the emerging developments of CIS countries due to being member to OECD and their compliance with Corporate Governance Principles, their possible problems and Corporate Governance Principles which is seen as common ground between CIS and world countries are evaluated.

In this study, the participation of women in economic life, in other words their position in economic activity in Turkey was examined in comparison with the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). To examine women’s participation in economic life in Turkey in comparison with transition economies, we benefited from the Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM), which was developed by the UNDP the participation of women in economic activity in Turkey is low extremely. The factors that reduce the participation in the workforce by women in Turkey are traditional division of work, economic development, level of education, unpaid family work, informal employment, legal regulation, discrimination, work/non-work preferences. The participation of women in economic activity is also low in transition economies. But transition economies is not homogenous in terms of participation of women in economic activities. Results also indicate that, the participation of women in economic activity in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is higher than the participation of women in economic activity in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

The article reviews the last (December 4, 2020) meeting of the Forum of principals of the humanities universities and deans of the humanities faculties of member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States, which coincided with the thirtieth anniversary of the Commonwealth. The main source is the shorthand report of the Forum online meeting. By pointing out that the Forum was attended by representatives of seven member coun- tries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Moldova and Armenia), the author reports that the plenary panels of the Forum discussed new forms of cooperation in the pandemic, the issues of using digital technology in the humanities education and the development of distance learning methods. Stating that the coronavi- rus pandemic that broke out on the cusp of the years 2019 and 2020 was the greatest challenge to the world education and science, forum participants could not but discuss the mental state of students, teachers and researchers who have continued to perform their duties under the force majeure conditions. The participants of the Forum made a point of the ever-increasing role of modern media, which act nowadays as specific tool for building a common scientific and educational space in the post-Soviet region.

Recent political events across the United States and Europe have shaken the international community. A weakened European Union, the presidential election of Donald Trump, and widespread anti-immigration sentiment indicate a decrease in support and enthusiasm for international cooperation. Countries have turned their focus inward and are emphasizing border protection and national interests above all else, at the expense of broader international concerns. The geopolitical landscape is marked by anxiety and uncertainty, as the bonds of the global community seem increasingly fragile. The nature of today’s political climate led me to Stefan Zweig’s autobiography, The World of Yesterday (1964).
