The author speculates on the international cooperation in preservation of the world and national cultural heritage and book monuments. She argues that the CIS libraries make the global and national cultural heritage as they perform the memorial, information and educational activities. International, regional and national regulation documents along with the information technologies and multimedia make the basis for preservation and accessibility of cultural monuments. The UNESCO and CIS conventions determine the general principles, approaches and rules of international cooperation in the cultural monuments preservation and management. Preservation and Conservation and Memory of the World programs are intended, above all, to educate staff, to develop standards, guides and methods. The essential conditions to preserve book monuments are specified: implementation of new technologies, hard- and software, cooperation with foreign libraries, museums and archives. The activities of the Eurasian Library Assembly Preservation and Conservation section is reviewed, as well as the model law on book monuments developed within the framework of the CIS Library Code.

New technologies and so-called communication and information technologies are transforming our society, the way in which we relate to each other, and the way we understand the world. By a wider extension, they are also influencing the world of law. That is why technologies will have a huge impact on society in the coming years and will bring new challenges and legal challenges to the legal sector worldwide. On the other hand, the new communications era also brings many new legal issues such as those derived from e-commerce and payment services, intellectual property, or the problems derived from the use of new technologies by young people. This will undoubtedly affect the development, evolution, and understanding of law. This Special Issue has become this window into the new challenges of law in relation to new technologies.

Achievements in the sphere of automatization and telecommunication are an essential component of transformation of the international peace and security system. This article presents, that consequences of changes are of a dual character. On the one hand, new technologies are becoming an important component of society modernization strategies in developing countries, on the other hand, they can be used for armament modernization or creation of new means of confrontation in modern international relations. APR countries face the most relevant issue of information technologies usage. The article deals with the process of discussion of new challenges and threats to international security, emerging as a result of development and large-scale implementation of information-communication technologies. Positions of states regarding the adoption of resolution in the sphere of international information security were studied through examples of Japan, India, and China. It is proved in the article, that information technologies have become an important component of the security system in the world. Technologies usage may lead to steady international development as well as to information arms race. That is why working out a common position on international information security issues is of crucial importance. It is within the framework of the UN, that different states of the world are given an opportunity to express their visions of the problem of international information security and work out common approaches to its solution. The article shows, that states’ positions have similar as well as different features. For instance, all states express concern regarding possible limitation of technology transfer for the establishment of a more controlled international political environment. But states’ positions have major differences as to mechanisms of information security provision. Thus, Japan and India strive to achieve a balanced system of international information security, which should at the same time have preventive mechanisms against the emergence of threats in the information and science and technology spheres and guarantee continuation of scientific-technological development, which is a crucial component of development and modernization strategies in many countries of the world. China came forward with position of strong regulation of international information security issues and suggested framing of corresponding regulations of the states’ conduct in the cyberspace.

Technology is defined as a device to compensate for human physical,psychological, and mental limitations. It is usually neutral, but can havefunctional and dysfunctional aspects based on its users’ intentions.Historically, the technological haves have justified the existence and possessionof new technologies, have publicized their own innocence andsense of responsibility in using them, and have asserted the innocuousnessof their devices without necessarily sharing all of their secrets. Concernedand helpless, the technological have-nots have resisted them and, havingsuffered their deadly devastation, have tried to obtain them at great risk tothemselves. However, the situation of information technology/-ies (IT) isdifferent and more interesting. The haves have attempted to popularizetheir use globally for commercial and other reasons. Many have-nots areembracing them wholeheartedly, while some are more cautious.One motivation behind the use of these technologies is globalization.The increasingly popularized term globalization is rather vague and complex,allowing a variety of interpretations and hidden intentions. Thehave-nots seem to see it as the West’s redoubled efforts at Westernizingthe world with all its pains, pleasures, and perversions; as achieving politicalhegemony as the sole superpower after the end of the Cold War; andas the “opening up of the globe” for commercial control on its own terms.Initially the world, especially the nations of South Asia, saw for themselvesa rare opportunity in the globalization of trade and IT. But since thecontagion has now spread, rather too fast, across the globe, the world cansee more clearly both the prospects and the problems of these two majorglobal trends. The purpose of this paper is to identify various issuesinvolved in these trends, and to discuss, in greater depth, some of them,namely, global business, the promise of technology, and the globalizationof media and culture ...

The study of microtoponomastics, the examination of sources and the use of new technologies for the creation of geographic information systems capable of gathering various layers of information, allows the extraction of extremely interesting materials for land planning. The case study of the Vallombrosa Forest, probably the best-known forest area in Italy, is indicative of how the exploration of the world of historical archives is important still today. From the evidence that the Vallombrosan Benedictine monks, in the last years of the eighteenth century, had already drawn up a forest regulation plan, we can see the need and urgency to preserve a real scientific and cultural heritage. The creation of a Silvomuseum in Vallombrosa is confirmed as a brilliant intuition and its careful and punctual realization represents the challenge that awaits the current managers of the millenary forest, the cradle of Italian forestry sciences.

The research deepens the role of new technologies in the construction of geographical imaginaries investigating the dimension of the offer related to the cultural heritage of the city of Palermo. The study was conducted using qualitative methods and provided for the application of two research techniques: participant observation and semi-structured interviews. By interpreting the results produced, the contribution aims to highlight the predominance of an urban image, linked to the UNESCO inclusion of the site in the World Heritage List, which is conveyed through new technologies. Developing a reflection on the alternative capacity of new media to dislocate and challenge shared images, the study will also examine the role of technologies in the production of imaginative counter-geographies.

Recently, especially with the development of information technologies, the so-called flexible employment modes is increasingly represented. From the employer standpoint, this employment model has a lot of benefits in the form of reducing certain costs, but it is also more comfortable for an employee because there is no commuting. On the other hand, the great disadvantage of this kind of work is that it is difficult to separate private life from work obligations. The great changes in the economies and societies of the countries in the world brought about by the pandemic of infectious disease COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021 have greatly affected the world of work. The biggest change that has taken place in the world of work is the change of place of work, so instead of in the employer`s premises, employees switched to teleworking, mostly at home, especially during the state of emergency and prohibition of free movement. During that period, telework and work at home began to be used more and more often as synonyms for designating a specific way of conducting work - outside the employer`s premises. Such an unusual situation has left many countries surprised by how to help employees and employers, not only due to the lack of appropriate legal framework, but also due to the lack of resources needed for new technologies. In that sense, teleworking has proven to be a highly successful means of enabling continuity in the employer`s business, especial in times of natural disasters and pandemics, but at the same time, many legal issues related to the nature of such working regime are open.

Nowadays humanity can’t live without information systems and technologies, which affect absolutely all areas of our daily life. They make a particularly significant contribution to the world economy. Information technologies allow to speed up the development of world trade on the Internet, provoke the emergence of the market of information and information services. In today’s world, information technologies and systems are becoming more diverse and multifaceted. The spheres of their activity are changing and expanding, offering new qualities and characteristics of social development. The information component has been an important element for the formation of potential competition between countries and the development of international relations for decades. Technology affects the development of the economy, but there are many factors that affect the quality of technology and their modifications. One such factor is COVID-19 pandemic. Pandemic has forced information technology to penetrate even deeper into human life. Now, with the help of IT, people not only are able to store, process, and analyze information, but also companies are capable of managing subordinates, and they in turn have the most comfortable conditions for work and achieving goals. And in general, due to pandemic systems for distance learning and delivery of any goods anywhere have been developed. After analyzing statistics, presented in this article, we can make a conclusion that over the past year, information technology has been greatly affected by the pandemic, but it has become an integral part of economic (and not only) development of countries. “Closed circle” has been created – due to the development of technology the state of the economy is improving, and together with the development of the economy more and more new technologies are needed.

Digital Law

The advancement of information technologies, change of expectations and consumer habits, as well as transformation of the social, economic, and political situation in the world entailed infiltration of digital technologies into all spheres of social life. Due to the need for the development of adequate legal regulation of relations arising in the digital sphere, determination of the limits and capabilities of artificial intelligence used for solution of versatile issues, the author highlights the priority direction for the development of law and its theoretical framework and practical aspects in the technologically advanced countries of the world. The progress of information technologies contributed to the development of law, having established its new institution of digital law. However, the essence of digital law is currently being reduced to regulating the new digital form of previous relations. The revolutionary achievement of digital law became the institution of artificial intelligence. The novelty of this research is lies in the statement that the achievements of digital technologies and transformations caused by them have received the name of the “third industrial revolution”, and usually, the revolutionary achievements find their legislative consolidation. Development and implementation of new technologies require their thorough regulation, namely with regards to formulation of concepts, criteria, and the subject matter. The development of the Institution of artificial intelligence actualizes the question of the parties to digital relations. Thus, the issues united by the concept of “digital law” do not fully reflect its essence and do not foresee the upcoming changes.

Cultural and educational activities are an important and indispensable segment of each archive. The same is manifested through various forms of action of exhibitions, cooperation with the media and educational institutions. We are talking about various facilities and projects that have multiple goals. One is presentation and affirmation of archival material as cultural heritage, as well as archives and archival activities. The second is the involvement of citizens, especially young people (students) in the project activities, thus raising awareness of the importance of the written cultural heritage. Opening the archives for citizens and society, through cultural and educational and other facilities at the time of global trends in the world, it certainly top priority. In this sense, the overall results are reflected in the level of affirmation, and (lack of) opennes of archives to society. Therefore, this paper aims to highlight the importance of cultural and educational activities, through the experience of the Archives of Tuzla Canton, for affirmation and greater openness of our Archives to professional, scientific, cultural, and the general public.
