Written Speech

The research objective was to identify the axiological values in uncensored free speech, i.e. natural written speech, of Soviet citizens. The axiological approach made it possible to identify individual life attitudes and values. The research featured a letter that the Kuzbass poet Mikhail A. Nebogatov wrote to the US President James Carter about the socio-political problem of dissidence. The author had no experience in professional journalism or in intercultural communication, which makes him a naive author. The text of the letter reflects the worldview and value system of the author himself rather than situational norms and pragmatic attitudes. M. A. Nebogatov represents himself not as a private person with a unique point of view, but as a speaker for the entire Soviet nation. He believed in the idea of the ideological and axiological unity of the Soviet society, hence the frequent use of the pronouns "we" and "our", as well as the general sense of self-righteousness. For him, Russian literature was the ultimate expression of the Soviet axiosphere, which resulted in numerous references to the authority of Russian writers. M. A. Nebogatov's expressive and appellative intention was to represent himself as a poet, which automatically made him the bearer of the national system of values, with Motherland and patriotism in its core. The axiological and conceptual analysis shows that natural written speech can help to identify the basic values of a social group, e.g., residents of a particular region.

Present article discusses some of the key issues introduced to the US federal law in 2010 to ensure the stability of the financial sector in the United States. Special attention was paid to two issues, i.e. the rules and procedures under which the FSOC may considered a non-banking finance company to be important from the point of view of stability of the US financial sector (and in such situation trigger supplementary supervision by the FRS) and the procedure for controlled liquidation of a financial company considered by the FSOC to be a risk to the stability of the US financial system.

The growing racial/ethnic diversity in the United States can be perceived as threatening to White Americans. The present work examines how interethnic ideologies—different ways of framing ethnic diversity—moderate perceptions of threat and political conservatism among White Americans exposed to a passage about the US becoming a “majority-minority” nation. Across 3 studies, we found divergent effects of multiculturalism and polyculturalism within the context of growing diversity. Priming multiculturalism increased perceived threats to the ingroup’s power and status, which in turn led to greater endorsement of conservative political views (Studies 1 and 3) and warmer feelings toward a conservative political figure (i.e., Donald Trump; Studies 2 and 3); however, these relationships were attenuated and sometimes reversed among participants primed with polyculturalism. We discuss implications for how interethnic ideologies influence White Americans’ threatened responses to increasing diversity.

Willingness To Use

The purpose of this study is to identify the origins of the pro-Israeli affections of the prominent American politician Lyndon Baines Johnson (the President of the United States in 1963-1968) in the initial period of his political career before winning the Senate elections in 1948. The study resulted in conclusion that preferences of Lyndon Johnson towards Israel were influenced by a number of factors. First of all, this was the influence of the views that had developed in the family of an American politician. His grandfather and aunt were active members of the Christodelphian community, in which the protection of the Jews as God’s chosen people was one of the principles of life. Lyndon’s father, Samuel Ealy Johnson, jr. always tried to take the side of the oppressed and persecuted people. Because of this, Lyndon’s father received threats against him from the Ku Klux Klan. We should also note the role of Lyndon Johnson’s encirclement at the dawn of his political career. A number of prominent American Zionists stood out in this encirclement. In addition, the life attitudes and values of the future 36th US president coincided with the philosophy and experience of the founders of the State of Israel, from side of its leaders as well as from the side of ordinary citizens, soldiers and farmers. Being raised on the Texas frontier and admired for examples of bravery and courage, Johnson felt justified in Israel’s willingness to use force at any moment. Lyndon Johnson’s words and deeds were never at variance. He personally took part in saving the lives of Jewish refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe. Though, their number, apparently, was not as large as it is sometimes presented in publicist and even historical papers.

The article examines the chronology of the development of the energy doctrine of the United States, which for many years has been focused on reducing the country's dependence on foreign energy imports. And while the United States does not currently need to import foreign energy on a huge scale, to effectively ensure energy security, a number of factors must be taken into account, both from a domestic and international point of view.

Trading Mechanisms

Water quality trading (WQT) programs aim to efficiently reduce pollution through market-based incentives. However, WQT performance is uneven; while several programs have found frequent use, many experience operational barriers and low trading activity. What factors are associated with WQT existence, prevalence, and operational stage? In this paper, we present and analyze the most complete database of WQT programs in the United States (147 programs/policies), detailing market designs, trading mechanisms, traded pollutants, and segmented geographies in 355 distinct markets. We use hurdle models (joint binary and count regressions) to evaluate markets in concert with demographic, political, and environmental covariates. We find that only one half of markets become operational, new market establishment has declined since 2013, and market existence and prevalence has nuanced relationships with local political ideology, urban infrastructure, waterway and waterbody extents, regulated environmental impacts, and historic waterway impairment. Our findings suggest opportunities for better projecting program need and targeting program funding.

Points Of View

The article observes various points of view related to the United States Code (U.S.C.) and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The U.S.C. consists of statutory law and the CFR — regulations issued by the US executive government agencies. The legal nature of these codes is often unclear for European lawyers and legal scientists. For instance, French legal doctrine (René David, Rémy Cabrillac) deems these American codes as not the codes in European sense at all. They see these codes as elegant compilations, alphabetically organized in order to classify and arrange American sources in the framework of some wide areas. This point of view, which undoubtedly has its rational roots, oversimplifies the nature of the U.S.C. and the CFR. Professor Arthur Taylor von Mehren has a partly different opinion. He estimates some parts of the U.S.C. (like the Internal Revenue Code) as provisions that have more coherent structure and principal significance in the respective areas. Analysis of the U.S.C. and the CFR themselves gives more plain understanding of differences and similarities between American and European codes. American codes, definitely, are not equal to European ones, since they generally do not have completeness of European codes and does not serve as the primary source of law. However, the article argues that by analyzing American codes we can see that they have not only alphabetically organized content. The U.S.C., for example, has general provisions, many parts and chapters of the code contains their own general provisions and lists of definitions, the text of many parts or chapters often has coherence that we expect from usual European codes (e.g. in accordance with description of a procedure). Moreover, half of the titles of the U.S.C. are enacted as codified laws. This codification is technically identical to what we call as codification in European sense, because the procedure of that codification involves rearranging the legislation, removing obsolete provisions, rewriting texts, etc. Only the other half of the code can be characterized as a compilation made by non-legislative body. The CFR has, to some extent, different structure, but it is also can be viewed mostly as a codification.

The US effort to pull out of the nuclear agreement, called JCPA, was a plan Donald Trump has had since participating in the US presidential election. Finally, the US state officially announced its withdrawal from JCPA, the return of sanctions as in the past, and also readiness to resume negotiations if Iran wished. The main question in this article is what factors have influenced the US withdrawal from JCPA. The hypothesis of the article is: Trump’s foreign policy foundations, threatening nature of Iran after JCPA, creation of a common understanding and notion between the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia about the threat of Iran, their interpretation of JCPA role in strengthening regional presence of Iran and its ignorance in the context of JCPA and from the internal point of view, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s action after JCPA should be regarded as some of the key variables in Donald Trump’s decision to leave the JCPA agreement

Extraterritorial Jurisdiction

AbstractThe article analyses one specific aspect of the long and complicated proceedings in which the Russian oil company Yukos was involved: the question of jurisdiction relating to the application that Yukos made to a court in Houston, Texas, to open bankruptcy proceedings under chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code and thus grant protection against the creditors to permit restructuring of the company. Yukos being a Russian company burdened by massive debt connected with taxes owed to the Russian authorities, and virtually the totality of its as-sets being located on Russian territory, the first question that arises is how it is possible for a court in the United States to have jurisdiction in this case. This article examines the question of extraterritorial jurisdiction in civil cases, from the point of view of both private and public international law.

The actuality of this research is the comparative analysis of political discourse translation of Donald Trump and Barack Obama from the point of view of the application of linguistic and stylistic features of the translation political speeches of both presidents. Political discourse is a phenomenon that we face every day. Taking into account the realities of our time, the wide spread of democracy, the openness of society, more and more attention is paid to the political language. The study of translations of the speeches of the US presidents allows, on the one hand, to predict further actions and intentions of a politician, and on the other, to highlight the most effective ways of influencing the audience. That is why the translation of political speeches is increasingly becoming an object of interest for scholars in various fields, especially in translation studies. The purpose of the proposed article is to identify the linguistic and stylistic features of the reproduction of US political discourse on the material of the speeches of the last two presidents of this country — Obama and Trump. The thematic, cultural and linguistic peculiarities of translation of the inaugural speeches of D. Trump and B. Obama are investigated. A comparative analysis of the linguistic units used by both presidents and their Ukrainian translations revealed that the preservation of the content during translation is possible due to the restoration of all relevant components of the utterance, and the translation of lexical units, including the evaluative component, is carried out in most cases with the help of regular correspondences. It is proved that during translating political speeches, linguo-stylistic features are actualized by combining regular correspondences and various transformations, which make it possible to preserve or modify the variant characteristics of a particular linguistic unit.

In this article, the author uses Afrocentricity in order to provide an African point of view in respect of the analysis of the United States (US) foreign policy towards Africa. Given the dominance of mainstream thinking about the US foreign policy that takes for granted US as a prominent and primary in defining the relations, this article employs historical sensibility in order to trace the US relationship with Ghana and Tanzania using Afrocentric lens. This discourse is often partially understood due to the lack of an Afrocentric perspective on the existing literature in this aspect of Strategic Studies. History is crucial in this regard because the past provides a sound basis for understanding the present and future. This helps challenge the thinking overly informed by mainstream theories in Strategic Studies. As it shall be seen below, such a paradigm remains critical in highlighting the peculiarity of the US relationship with Ghana and Tanzania and in providing a deeper understanding of underlying dynamics in US foreign policy towards Africa. To realise the purpose of this article, the author relies methodologically on interdisciplinary critical discourse and conversations in their widest forms.
