This article deals with the complex aspect of French public safety policies and offers a big-picture view of the factors that impact both their design and their implementation processes. Indeed, many players are involved in their development: city mayors and local police forces when they exist, but also local agents of the national police forces who have the main responsibilities in this field, and the Public Prosecutor. Whereas cooperation between national police forces and local authorities is statutory and needed in order to address safety issues, conflicts and tensions are not rare. Each stakeholder pursues their own objectives: mayors are seeking public support and try to meet local expectations, while national police chiefs favour priorities set by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Far from following only a rational choice process, the implementation of local safety policy results from power relationships and the position of each player in the game. To gain the upper hand over a partner, a stakeholder can rely on material resources but also on the control of information about security issues, knowledge and expertise in this field, and its legitimacy among the public. In the French case, two forms of legitimacy are in conflict as far as security policy is concerned. If mayors base their arguments on their status conferred by a democratic election, the police chiefs use the fact that they belong to a national service based on a principle of equality – even if it is not applied: every citizen has the same rights and duties, and is subjected to national policies. Because the French Republic does not recognize communities and local peculiarities, institutions tend to favour their own positions rather than dealing concretely with the safety issues.

Identity Policy

The article attempts to identify the correlation between the state of interethnic accord in the region and the conceptual foundations of the identity policy on the example of such a multinational region of the Russian Federation with increased migration attractiveness as Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Ugra. Bringing out the two main types of identities – ethnopolitical and macropolitical – the authors draw attention to the fact that in the justification of each type stand the interests of groups in real policy and the scientific tradition as well. Appealing to this or that concept is defined both by the conservatism of these traditions and by political circumstances. The definition of interethnic harmony is proposed in the article. The empirical basis of the research are the results of sociological surveys conducted under the leadership of the authors in 2018–2019, secondary analysis of the results of sociological research conducted in 2014–2015 in the region, as well as data from official statistics. The method of cluster analysis of data obtained from the sociological survey on the territories of municipal entities of the autonomous okrug was applied. The results of the sociological surveys make it possible to establish a correlation between the respondents' assessment of the state of interethnic relations and the activities of political actors in the sphere of identity policy. The cross-temporal comparison of identity policy conducted in the region in the 2010 s, showed that, the policy based on national-state (macropolitical) identity to ensure interethnic accord was more effective. The Russian regions are multiethnic in composition. Therefore, the study of the conceptual foundations of the formation of interethnic accord by means of identity policy on the example of such a multiethnic region with high migration attractivness, as Ugra, is relevant.

Subjective Reason

Terrorism, as a social and legal phenomenon, is one of the most dangerous challenges both for the Russian Federation and the global community. It is acquiring more and more diverse forms and its scale is threatening. Russian legislators describe terrorism as an ideology of violence and a practice of influencing the decision-making of bodies of power at different levels or of international organizations through the intimidation of people and (or) other forms of illegal violent acts. The article is devoted to the criminological description of the causes and conditions of terrorist activities. The authors note that the emergence of terrorism has certain historical prerequisites. The causes and conditions of terrorist activities are connected with both internal and external (political, economic, religious, psychological) factors, including those common for all countries. The key factors that produce terrorism at present are, according to the authors, the severe character and complexity of various social and political contradictions. Another factor, or rather the consequence of the first one, is wars and armed conflicts. It is noted that one of the reasons for the persistence of modern terrorism (both its ideology and infrastructure) are gaps in international and national legislations. Besides, there are contradictions between states in their assessment of terrorists and their definition of terrorism. According to the authors, the absence of the concept «terrorism» in corresponding international legal documents is one of the reasons for the existing situation and for its escalation as the number of terrorist acts increases. The authors stress that the subjective reason for terrorist activities is the motivation of its subjects. It is a subjective reflection of the possible complex of objective causes and existing contradictions. The authors conclude that the «multifaceted character» of terrorism makes it possible to single out comprehensive causes and conditions of terrorist activities, however, the researchers present its typical manifestations.

Abstract The concepts of ‘gray zone conflict’, as one of the new phenomena in the theory of international relations, are given considerable attention in modern strategic researches of analysts, in particular American ones (Hel Brands, Adam Elkus, etc.). The definition of ‘gray zone conflict’ by American political scientists coincides with the definitions of domestic scholars in outlining the hybrid war in general, and Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine in particular. At the same time, qualifying the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the war in Eastern Ukraine as the sole concept of ‘gray zone’ shall be considered not to be entirely correct, since the scales tend to favor the definition of civil war, which is so advantageous to Vladimir Putin. On the other hand, the war in Eastern Ukraine has many shades of gray, which gives grounds to the use of the concept of ‘gray zone conflict’ on specific examples of the existence of real and imaginary gray zones (realities of existence and zones of silence) and to investigate their quantitative and qualitative characteristics, to determine the degree of the viral use of the gray zone of conflict by the state (as an object of aggression), which complicates its establishment. The possibilities/unacceptability of solving gray zone conflicts by “gray” methods are being outlined as well.
