Author(s):  
O. Zaporozhets

The article studies the concept “Russian World” in terms of national security of Ukraine. Based on publications of Ukrainian and Russian experts the author shows that the“Russian World” is aimed to justify Russia’s geopolitical ambitions and in particular its dominance in post-soviet countries. According to this project Russia is a unique country-civilization that, due to its historical, cultural and intellectual potential, goes far beyond the state borders. The Russian geopolitical concept is very dangerous for Ukraine because due to historical manipulations the national identity, sovereignty and integrity of the country are artificially devaluated and completely erased. In Russian propaganda Ukraine is labelled as the artificially created country that cannot be the successor of Kievan Rus, doesn’t have its own statehood traditions, culture, language and other attributes of the true nation. Russia tries to appropriate Ukraine’s historical and cultural heritage because without it the RM is ideological construct based on myths that is unable to contribute to strengthening and extending Russia's influence on the international arena.

The state policy on the management of objects of intellectual property right in the sphere of national security and defense is considered.Under the current conditions, national security is unconceivable without solving the problematic issues of intellectual property management and creating the necessary preconditions for the development of intellectual potential and its use for national security.At present, the concept of national security is being expanded to include more and more spheres of public life. New security settings related to the scientific and technological revolution have started to play an important role.Nowadays, issues of the formation of an effective state policy for ensuring national security in all its spheres and manifestations are of great importance. An important component of the mechanism for the formation and implementation of state policy in the field of national security should be the provision of intellectual property management.However, national security legislation does not provide for the development of a strategy or other programmatic document on scientific and technical security, which would envisage measures to ensure the protection of the scientific and intellectual potential of the state, competitive technologies available in the country.The question at issue is the fact that the state has not yet developed a national strategy for the protection of intellectual property, which would provide the protection of interests and rights of all subjects of intellectual property rights, and especially the state. Although the attempts to develop such a strategy were carried out repeatedly. The state system of intellectual property protection and the effectiveness of providingnational interests with its structural elements, in particular in the field of national security and defense, are investigated. Current problems in this area are explored and suggestions are made to resolve them.There exists a necessity for creation of the central executive authority, the main task of which should be the formation and implementation of the state policy on the protection and management of intellectual property, as well as the state body, which, on behalf of the state and in its interests, will execute the ownership rights of the objects of intellectual property rights that are in state property.

The cultural heritage and historical monuments are silent witnesses of social development and they deserve a special place in the world?s annals, both in material and in spiritual sense. In this regard, UNESCO has undertaken a number of measures which recognize such values. However, the current international events directly usurp cultural and historical features using international politics which in the process of globalization puts in an uncertain position the characteristics of certain national identities. The jurisdiction of this international organization is compromised by pressures of leading international subjects. By defining its strategic objectives, the position of the state sovereignty of its member states is determined. Consequently, it is necessary to induce the criteria and proposals to prevent such tendencies in order to preserve not only the cultural heritage of a nation, territory, religious population, but also its identity and its statehood.

Demographic security is an aspect of security, which is defined as a sustainable state of the nation, where natural reproduction and population growth is guaranteed and no violent change of self-awareness and national identity is allowed in any form. A broad understanding of security from the point of view of society is formulated as a state of society in which the risks and threats of existence and development are met systematically, are met in all the elements of society. "Demographic security may be the most important element of national security, as it is linked to the nation's" subject "- the people living in the nation state. Obviously, what is the state of demographic security will, to a great extent, be the state of national security of a country. It could be considered "as a state of society in which it is able to accumulate the reproductive power of the population necessary for preserving the nation, ensuring the preservation and development of national integrity and the national identity of the people and communities living in the state. And each of these theories and formulations could only exist if there were separate "demographic units". The importance of demographic status can be compared to whether a nation will exist or not, with the revival or death of a nation. That is why the demographic problem has real repercussions on the whole development of the state. The declining population leads to a weakening in both political and economic terms. The total depopulation of territories leads to a reduction in the working age population, which would mean lack of staff in the most important development areas - education, medicine, police, army. Prerequisites for the security of each country are its internal stability, the existence of a democratic political system, social protection, a developed economy. National security also depends on relations with neighboring countries, on the objective consideration of geopolitical conditions, on optimal participation in deepening integration processes, security is a function of a number of internal and external factors. State security means the existence of an effective mechanism for the management and coordination of the public groups and political forces, as well as the active institutions for their protection. The mentioned structural elements, interacting with the security environment, form conditionally two components of the national security - internal and external.

The peculiarities of the national identity of Ukrainians significantly influenced the process of national and state-building in Ukraine, thereby determining the national identity and subsequently the political behavior of its citizens. One of the striking examples of the influence of national identity in Ukraine is the events of 2013-2014 in Crimea and in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, when, under the influence of the internal political crisis and external influence, part of Ukrainian society took part in rallies, incl. with the aim of changing the social system and even secession from the country, which led to threats to the territorial integrity of Ukraine. The purpose of this article is to identify the features of the national identity of Ukrainians, which created the basis for massive anti-Ukrainian actions in 2013-2014, as well as modern trends in the development of Ukrainian society, and their impact on the national security of the state. The main results and conclusions of the article: significant regional differences in the identities of Ukrainians formed the conditions for the emergence and external construction of the socio-political crisis. Strong regional identity, low support for Independence, linguistic and political preferences of the inhabitants of the East and South of Ukraine became the key factors that influenced the stability of the state. Changes in Ukraine's policy after 2014, in the context of a military conflict with Russia, changed the characteristics of national identity, and probably contributed to the formation of a stronger Ukrainian state. The article can be used to further study the problematic aspects of the formation of national identity in the post-Soviet space, as well as to simulate scenarios for the development of political crises in order to develop an effective state policy that will help strengthen national unity, meet the needs of society, and find compromises between different social groups.

Modern migration discourse contributes to the securitization of migration in France: it is transferred to the security field, endowed with threat connotations, and thus is becoming the direct cause of the security deficit. The agents of securitization (representatives of the country’s supreme power or right-wing political movements, or writers and essayists who recognize themselves as independent from any political party’s influence and who, however, still share the anti-immigration mood of the right-wing political movement. They use elements of the discourse of fear to achieve their own political goals; they present immigrants as a mortal threat not only to the national identity of the state and the integrity of its society, but also to its public and national security. In the discourse of these agents, there is a clear tendency to create an image of a France “abandoned” by the government and “besieged” by immigrants, a France as a subject to “colonization” by Islam that is incompatible with the secular principle the country that supports republican ideals. Analysis of the migration discourse of securitization agents reveals bold metaphors and emotionally charged expressions that generate a sense of fear in society and give rise to misconceptions about the scale of immigration and the size of the Muslim population in the country.

This paper contributes to the debate on racialized and deracialized representations of the category of indigeneity in Mexican cinematography during the Golden Age (1935–1959) as a response to the post‑revolutionary nation‑building project. Based on the analysis of representative movies of that period, I argue that the cinematography reflected indigenista public policies, aimed at homogenizing the society by incorporating indigenous people to the society as Mexicans. Insofar as the state narrative displaced the notion of indigeneity towards the “past” – as a foundation of the national cultural heritage – movie industry romanticized and exoticized the indigenous, but at the same time, it portrayed indigenous characters as submissive and even obsolete, thus perpetrating the colonial archetype of oppression. Images situated in the present, however, rejected any ethnic differentiation, and instead replaced it with a class‑based model of social interactions, but in reality the “raceless” ideal of national identity would continue to ascribe indigeneity to lower social strata.

Regional co-operation in the field of preservation and protection of cultural heritage is one of fundamental values of tolerance and peace among the nations in the region and within maintanenance of national identity. It becomes especially significant at the time of globalisation and proclaimed multiculturalism. At the same time, this also includes the question of (non)achievement of rights and obligations of the state in preserving and protecting cultural heritage. In this way, one's own cultural identity is defended, what includes a comprehensive cultural heritage (tangible and non-tangible) beyond every country and the region. Generally, we can define - observe the protection of cultural identity through the establishment of ethnic policy of every state in the region, this including Serbia, too.
