The issue of security is a fundamental aspect in the maintenance of international relations, and such relations cannot be upheld without concrete laws and credible policies underlying the international scene. It is really essential and appropriate in setting strong international security on the international level. With all these in place, ensuring this international security has been a difficult task by actors on the international scene due to the multifacet of the various legal regimes with the diversified policy set up making the objective of international security a laughable phenomenon. The purpose of the article is to determine the characteristic features of the current state of the international security system, based on current situations in a particular region of the world, as well as to establish the relationship between various elements of international security. This great plague attacking international security has been of great questioning too many of the international scene as to what importance will security be necessary when it cannot be respected by those who claim in ensuring international peace and security? In answering this question, it will be appropriate for us in adopting empirical research to examine the various hurdles which can jeopardise international security. From the above outcome experience, one can say with any fear of contraction that the notion of international security is more of procrastination than a plausible redress. It is against this backdrop that we think much still need to be done in ensuring a place occupied by concrete international security, respected by all without violations. Keywords: international security, ways of improvement, international cooperation, effective interaction, sturdy policy. Keamanan Internasional: Situasi Saat Ini dan Cara Perbaikan Regulasi Hukum Abstrak Isu keamanan merupakan aspek fundamental dalam pemeliharaan hubungan internasional, dan hubungan semacam itu tidak dapat ditegakkan tanpa undang-undang yang konkrit dan kebijakan yang kredibel yang mendasari kancah internasional. Hal ini sangat penting dan tepat dalam menetapkan keamanan internasional yang kuat di tingkat internasional. Dengan semua ini, memastikan keamanan internasional ini telah menjadi tugas yang sulit oleh para aktor di kancah internasional karena multifaset dari berbagai rezim hukum dengan kebijakan yang beragam membuat tujuan keamanan internasional menjadi fenomena yang menggelikan. Tujuan artikel ini adalah untuk menentukan fitur karakteristik dari keadaan sistem keamanan internasional saat ini, berdasarkan situasi saat ini di wilayah tertentu di dunia, serta untuk menetapkan hubungan antara berbagai elemen keamanan internasional. Wabah besar yang menyerang keamanan internasional ini telah menjadi pertanyaan besar bagi banyak orang di kancah internasional tentang pentingnya keamanan apa yang diperlukan ketika keamanan tidak dapat dihormati oleh mereka yang mengklaim dalam menjamin perdamaian dan keamanan internasional? Dalam menjawab pertanyaan ini, sudah sepantasnya kita mengadopsi penelitian empiris untuk mengkaji berbagai rintangan yang dapat membahayakan keamanan internasional. Dari pengalaman hasil di atas, orang dapat mengatakan dengan ketakutan akan kontraksi bahwa gagasan keamanan internasional lebih merupakan penundaan daripada ganti rugi yang masuk akal. Dengan latar belakang inilah kami pikir masih banyak yang perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan tempat yang ditempati oleh keamanan internasional yang nyata, dihormati oleh semua tanpa pelanggaran. Kata Kunci: keamanan internasional, cara peningkatan, kerjasama internasional, interaksi efektif, kebijakan kokoh Международная безопасность: текущее состояние и пути совершенствования правового регулирования Аннотация Целью статьи является определение характерных черт современного состояния системы международной безопасности с учетом текущей ситуации в конкретном регионе мира, а также установление взаимосвязи между различными элементами международной безопасности. Государства выдвигают разные, иногда противоречивые предложения по совершенствованию системы международной безопасности, поскольку страны имеют разные возможности для реализации реальных мер по реформированию международной безопасности. Считается, что несколько самых влиятельных стран мира играют основную роль в формировании так называемой «повестки дня» в международной политике, в том числе в сфере безопасности. Их влияние основано на различных сферах общественной жизни. Развитые демократии Западной Европы и Северной Америки оказывают значительное влияние на международно-правовые отношения благодаря своему экономическому, культурному и политическому влиянию. В свою очередь, Россия и Китай в значительной степени повлияли на международную политику через ультиматумы и угрозы из-за своих собственных вооруженных сил, которые по-прежнему остаются если не лучшими, то одними из крупнейших в мире. Особое внимание обращается на тот факт, что Украина в связи с вышеуказанными обстоятельствами должна следовать курсу сближения с развитыми демократиями, чтобы добиться успеха. С учетом проведенного исследования авторами представлены предложения по совершенствованию правового регулирования международной безопасности. Ключевые слова: международная безопасность, защита интересов, международное сотрудничество, противодействие угрозам.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the current state of the legislation of Ukraine in the field of hydraulic reclamation of lands, as well as to highlight the prospects for the development of legal support of the outlined sphere of public relations. It is established that hydraulic reclamation of lands contributes to increasing soil fertility, increasing productivity and sustainability of agriculture, creating a guaranteed food fund of the state. However, in recent years, the effectiveness of hydraulic land reclamation is declining, due to a number of reasons of objective and subjective nature: insufficient logistics and shortcomings in the operation of hydraulic structures, deterioration of ecological and reclamation of agricultural land, lack of interest and responsibility land users. These factors include incomplete use of scientific developments, insufficient information support, imperfect and outdated legal framework. Given the great importance of hydraulic land reclamation for the development of agriculture in the country, these relations require proper legal regulation. It is concluded that the problems of combating desertification, resource and food security of the state in years with adverse weather conditions, water supply of agriculture cannot be solved only by organizing land reclamation, because this problem is complex. In order to achieve the goals of the Irrigation and Drainage Strategy in Ukraine for the period up to 2030, it is necessary to ensure effective interaction of legal, organizational, economic and financial mechanisms of irrigation and drainage restoration in Ukraine within the framework of the identified priority areas. Keywords: land reclamation, hydraulic land reclamation, land irrigation, land drainage, agricultural lands

The diverse collection of short reflections included in this Critical Perspectives section looks to continue a conversation—a conversation that played out in the pages of this journal (Elias 2015) regarding the relationship between two strands of feminist international relations scholarship: feminist security studies (FSS) and feminist international political economy (IPE). In this forum, the contributors return to some of the same ground, but in doing so, they bring in new concerns and agendas. New empirical sites of thinking through the nexus between security and political economy from a feminist perspective are explored: war, women's lives in postconflict societies, and international security governance institutions and practices.

This book examines the concept of resolve and its role in international politics. It aims not to “bring resolve back in,” but rather, to lend it microfoundations, to help us understand what resolve is, and how—and whether—it works. Using a behavioral theory of resolve, the book suggests that variation in time and risk preferences, honor orientation, and self-control shape how actors respond to the situations they face. This chapter discusses the definition of resolve, the place of resolve in international relations, the prevalence of references to resolve in the international security literature, the relationship of resolve to capabilities and intentions, and situational and dispositional theories of resolve. It contends that the term resolve is often used in the study of international politics in imprecise and incompatible ways.

One of the main features of international political and legal development is the unresolved problem of national security of the state and international security. This is particularly relevant in the current globalized environment, when the economy, informatization and democratization of international relations create unprecedented opportunities for development, but at the same time increase the vulnerability of the system to terrorism, the use of weapons of mass destruction, etc. Scientists of our time are faced with urgent tasks, the solution of which allows the study of the problems of state creation, especially such important determinants of this process as legal regulation in the field of national and international security of the state in the context of globalization. Proceeding from this,scientific researches in this context, in which the basic principles of organization of national and international security are systematically revealed, are expedient and timely

Today international relations encompass not only interaction between states, but also have a global, transnational character. Modern threats and international problems require the participation of more members of the world community. In this regard, interaction of states within the framework of international organizations is of great importance. Since many issues cannot be resolved in a bilateral format, multilateral cooperation requires the participants to have a high level of international legal regulation. Therefore, cooperation between states within the framework of international organizations is considered an important area of ​​mutual relations. It is known that Kazakhstan has not remained aloof from this process and is the initiator of the creation of a number of international organizations. It is also developing ties with its Eastern neighbor China through international organizations. In particular, cooperation is dynamically developing within the framework of the UN, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia, created on the direct initiative of our country. For Kazakhstan and China, the main goal of cooperation within the framework of international organizations is to maintain security and stability in the region. Along with maintaining peace in the region, other areas of cooperation are developing in a multilateral format, such as trade, economy, transport, and the use of the political and economic potential of more than two countries is very effective in developing relations. The article examines the problems and prospects of cooperation between Kazakhstan and China within the framework of international organizations.

Power is a crucial concept for international relations scholars. Of particular importance for those interested in understanding foreign policy is knowing how power manifests as national capabilities. Understanding the relationship between power and capabilities allows for comparison and contrast of the various foreign policy tools leaders have at their disposal as they attempt to achieve their goals. Despite the importance of power, scholars still debate the best means for conceptualizing and operationalizing the concept. The all-encompassing nature of power makes it difficult to focus on a single characteristic. This article focuses on three main aspects of power: military, economic, and soft power. Each section gives an overview into the current state of research into the various aspects of power. The discussion on military power emphasizes operationalizing military might and issues with innovation. The section on economics focuses on economics as a source of power and a tool for coercion. Finally, the last section focuses on noncoercive aspects of power, better known as soft power. The article ends with some suggestions for future research.

Background: Whilst broadly agreed in the literature that disability and poverty are closely interlinked, the empirical basis for this knowledge is relatively weak.Objectives: To describe and discuss the current state of knowledge and to suggest the need for further generation of knowledge on disability and poverty.Method: Two recent attempts at statistically analysing the situation for disabled people and a series of qualitative studies on disability and poverty are applied in a discussion on the state of current knowledge.Results: Firstly, the surveys confirm substantial gaps in access to services, and a systematic pattern of lower levels of living amongst individuals with disability as compared to non-disabled. Existing surveys are however not originally set up to study the disability – poverty relationship and thus have some important limitations. Secondly, the qualitative studies have shown the relevance of cultural, political and structural phenomena in relation to poverty and disability, but also the complexity and the contextual character of these forces that may sometimes provide or create opportunities either at the individual or the collective level. Whilst not establishing evidence as such, the qualitative studies contribute to illustrating some of the mechanisms that bring individuals with disability into poverty and keep them there.Conclusions: A longitudinal design including both quantitative and qualitative methods and based on the current conceptual understanding of both disability and poverty is suggested to pursue further knowledge generation on the relationship between disability and poverty.

Purpose Neuroeconomics and neurofinance are emerging as intriguing fields of research, despite sharing ambiguity with the concepts of neuroscience. The relationship among the concepts of economics, finance and neuroscience is not explicitly defined in the past literature, which distorts the use of neuroeconomics and neurofinance approaches in real-world practice for financial decision-making. The purpose of this paper is to consolidate the literature in the field of neuroeconomics and neurofinance to set up the research agenda for the upcoming scholarship in the field. Design/methodology/approach The purpose of this paper is to consolidates the extant literature in the fields of neuroeconomics and neurofinance by conducting an extensive systematic literature review to investigate the current state and define the relationship between economics, finance and neuroscience. Findings This paper identifies and explains the explicit relationship between different sub-fields of neuroscience with neuroeconomics and neurofinance and providing instances for future research studies. Originality/value The exclusive and extensive literature survey in the form of systematic literature review is undertaken for understanding the fields of neuroeconomics and neurofinance and is the key highlight of this paper. Another, interesting fact lies with matching the literature in neuroeconomics and neurofinance with further sub-fields of neuroscience such as neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, molecular neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience.

When the climate change is one of the most urgent, complex and challenging global problems of the present, threatening global economy and international security, it has to be primarily regulated domestically, at the level of a State. The present article aims to examine the current state of legal regulation of the climate change issues in Ukraine. Accordingly, the critical analyses of the national legislation on climate change regulation and whether it corresponds with the State policy’s strategic aims are conducted; the provisions of strategic documents on climate change adaptation and mitigation in Ukraine are examined and the evaluation of such regulatory mechanism’s efficiency and effectiveness is performed. As a result, the author points out the drawbacks of national policy and law encompassing the climate change and offers a set of suggestions for its improvement.

RésuméL’activité culinaire est un aspect fondamental des modèles alimentaires. Il s’agit d’une activité intégrée à un système symbolique, qui est expérimentée et signifiée différemment selon les circonstances temporales et socioculturelles. Dans la contemporanéité le rapport à l’activité culinaire s’est transformé. Parmi les phénomènes impliqués, des transformations spatio-temporelles se sont opérées, créant une tension entre le global et le local, entre uniformisation et diversification des normes, représentations et pratiques alimentaires et culinaires à l’échelle planétaire. Dans ce contexte, l’étude comparative de modèles alimentaires permet de comprendre ce qui est propre à chaque contexte et/ou ce qui est partagé par des mangeurs issus de réalités socioculturelles distinctes. Cette étude analyse les pratiques et significations de l’activité culinaire chez des françaises et brésiliennes, à partir d’une approche qualitative et comparative basée sur des observations et entretiens semi-directifs. Les résultats révèlent l’existence de grilles distinctes afin d’expérimenter, d’organiser et de signifier l’activité culinaire, s’inscrivant dans des contextes marqués par différents processus historiques et socioculturels.Mots clés : Activité culinaire. Significations du culinaire. Modèle alimentaire. Etude qualitative. Etude comparative.  AbstractCulinary activity is a fundamental aspect of food models. It is an activity integrated into a symbolic system, which is experienced and signified differently according to temporal and socio-cultural circumstances. In contemporaneity the relationship to culinary activity has changed. Among the phenomena involved, spatio-temporal transformations took place, creating a tension between the global and the local, between standardization and diversification of food/culinary norms, representations and practices on a planetary scale. In that context, a comparative study of food models permits to comprehend what is specific to each context and/or what is shared by eaters from distinct socio-cultural realities. The present study seeks to understand the practices and meanings concerning culinary activity among French and Brazilian women. A comparative and qualitative approach based on observations and semi-structured interviews was set up. The results reveal the existence of distinct grids to experiment, organize and signify culinary activity, in contexts marked by different historical and sociocultural processes.Keywords: Culinary activity. Culinary meanings. Food model. Qualitative study. Comparative study.
