Processes and problems of the creation of networking society and network-based economy are described in this theoretical article. Networking processes and the network-based new development tendencies in various sectors of economy and social life in the context of contemporary global changes are defined as an especially important field of the scientific research and studies. The main aspects of the networking and network-based development tendencies are analysed. The complexity and systematics of the networking processes and the networking society creation under conditions of globalisation and contemporary changes in various areas of social and economic life are analysed.The main attention is focused on the idea that networking processes and the creation of networking society and network-based economy could be perceived as one of the most important priorities of the modernisation of contemporary social and economic systems, as well as of social, economic, political development, science, and technological progress in general.The creation of networking society and network-based economy is assessed as the most important assumption and the main way to solve most of the social, economic, technological, even security, defence and ecological problems worldwide, as well as in various countries or regions in general and in various countries or regions in the space of the European Union.The processes of the creation of networking society and network-based economy express the essential qualitative changes in all areas of social, economic, political life, science, and technological progress, and interaction with nature. The processes of the creation of networking society and network-based economy deeply influence the content of globalisation and internationalisation processes and the effect on a situation in the modern world.The processes of the creation of networking society and network-based economy must be analysed in complexity. This analysis should be orientated towards the systematically examined and assessed changes and development processes.It is particularly important that the processes of the creation of networking society and network-based economy are taking place on a global scale and could be defined as the processes belonging to the category of global processes and changes: it also means that the complex interaction between the processes of global changes and the processes of the creation of networking society and network-based economy is a very important factor of the positive development in the societal life in the general context of globalisation.Problem is that the networking society and the network-based economy creation processes and other processes of global changes are usually analysed separately: the factor of the complex interaction between different global processes and the processes of the creation of networking society and network-based economy is often ignored. It means, that a complex analysis of the processes of various types, as well as an evaluation of the factors of interaction between different processes could be defined as a perspective way to solve some actual theoretical and practical problems of the development of contemporary economy and of the creation of networking society and network-based economy in general, especially in the context of globalisation.The complex analysis and the multidimensional evaluation of the general processes of global changes and of the specific processes of networking society and the network-based economy creation as a perspective theoretical approach in research on societal changes in the context of globalisation is defined and described in this theoretical article.The variety and the main phenomena and regularities of the global changes are identified, their impact on real processes of networking society and network-based economy creation is characterised. The main principles of the networking society and the network-based economy creation in the context of global changes are formulated.The main idea of the complex analysis and of the evaluation of the factors of interaction between different processes of global changes and the processes of networking society and network-based economy creation could be briefly described as follows: the complex analysis and evaluation of these factors includes two aspects – first, all these processes should be defined and analysed as the global changes in general, secondly, the processes of the creation of networking society and networks based economy should be identified as an specific and especially important priority of contemporary social, economic, organizational and technological changes in the global space. This idea is described in details in the article.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the world practice of organization and functioning of strategic alliances as one of the forms of integration of companies and consider the peculiarities of their functioning, including in aviation. Initially, their creation was aimed at achieving comparatively simple goals such as regional or global coordination of sales or distribution of innovations and new proprietary technologies in related industries. Economic motivation was to reduce the cost of global marketing or the spread of technology, as well as to increase sales through stable partnerships or cooperative ties. Subsequently, international strategic alliances have continued. The methodology of the research is the position on the theory of enterprise management, as well as the methods of differentiated and component analysis for the scientific definition of the term “strategic analysis.” It also describes the differences in strategic alliances from other organizational forms of company integration. The results prove that global competition is not the only reason for the creation of international strategic alliances. The market conditions and technological factors of development, which are derived from the determination and properties of alliances themselves, are determined, but at the same time, they have their own peculiarities, which are dictated by the state of economic life. The emergence of alliances was the result of increased global competition, and especially non-price. However, global competition is not the only reason for the creation of international strategic alliances. In addition, it is also useful to refer to market conditions and technological development factors that derive from the definition and properties of the alliances themselves, but at the same time, they have their own peculiarities that are dictated by the state of the economy. It is practically grounded that one of the motives for the creation and effective development of strategic alliances in the aviation sector is the possibility of improving the level of service. The main problems of creating alliances, regularities of successful functioning, and the main causes of the collapse of alliances are described. Value/originality. Based on the analysis of the problems that arise in the functioning of alliances, the authors proposed some ways to solve these problems and, accordingly, overcome the causes of the collapse of international strategic alliances.

Turbulent environment, crisis, globalization, rapid technical and technological progress, constant changes require new creative ideas from SME, new knowledge and constant innovation. SME should learn to live with constant changes. Knowledge is the driving force of any innovative venture.Isak Adizes points out: "On one occasion, I asked Ferdinand Porsche (the son of a founder of a car company) if he had two choices ahead of you: to lose all your people or to lose all your machines from which to give up before? He answered the machine! Why? What is easier to replace machines or people? Well machines of course. People have become the most valuable assets of SME because they have knowledge .. The recovery, development and competitiveness of SME depends on the ability and speed of using new knowledge and technologies (innovation capabilities). According to the European Commission, the creation, use and commercialization of new knowledge and technologies are essential for achieving competitiveness. The knowledge base encourages the development of innovations. Innovations as the most important source of change occupy a central place in the knowledge economy. Innovative SME are those who have implemented a one innovation. According to the OECD, a knowledge-based economy is an economy based on the creation, use and dissemination of knowledge and information. The innovative SME are the driving force for knowledge-based economy, they are the most efficient, most dynamic and flexible part of the economy and contribute to increasing the overall competitiveness of the Serbian economy. The paper presents the concept of innovative SME, development conditions and limitations.

The purpose of this chapter is to present research findings and address the conclusion that intellectual capital is present, measurable and can be optimized in SMEs. The theoretical part of the chapter presents a review of tools for measuring intellectual capital. By using this concept, SMEs recognize the importance of intellectual capital and accept methods by which they can convert their businesses into knowledge based companies. This approach has evolved very dynamically as changes in business development and intellectual capital continue to develop. The chapter also provides the newly created tool for optimizing intellectual potential in SMEs, tested through a pilot research in an SME, the “Prestige by Milka” company. As it can be seen from the chapter, neglecting intangibles frequently results in suboptimal business development. It is expected that the conclusions and recommendations of this study will reveal possible directions for further development of optimization potential and intellectual capital in SMEs.

The article studies main developments, implications and results of the 10 year Syrian crisis. The author pays special attention to the historical preconditions that caused those events in Syria, focusing on actual political, social, economic, ethnic, ideological, regional, and international dimensions of the Syrian crisis based on historical background. The author tries to make some forecasts about further development of the current situation in Syria in view of abilities to peacefully resolve the conflict by political instruments rather than military options. The publication tends to study new tendencies in the Syrian crisis development. The author argues that today the Syrian conflict is developing in a different paradigm that can be tentatively designated as the “post-terrorist” stage in the Syrian uprising. Main attention is paid to Russia’s politics in Syria and its ability to rebuild the main institutions of the Syrian state. Political steps and tendencies of major regional and international players in the Syrian crisis are analysed. In this regard the author supposes and demonstrates in this article that much depends on how Russia, Turkey, Iran, the United States and Israel change the previous agreements on the security system in Syria. The author believes that despite all the complexity of this crisis, peace in Syria is quite possible. A lot depends on political will and the readiness for mutual compromises between key internal and external actors in the Syrian crisis.

Throughout history, technology has played a significant role in international relations (IR). Technological development is an important factor underlying much of humanity’s social, economic, and political development, as well as in interstate and interregional relationships. Beginning with the earliest tool industries of the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods to the present time, technology has been an integral component of the transformative processes that resulted in the organization, expansion, and establishment of distinctive societies. The presence or absence of equal access to technology has often determined the nature of relationships between societies and civilizations. Technology increases the options available to policymakers in their pursuit of the goals of the state, but also complicates their decision making. The question of whether, and how much, technological change has influenced IR has been the subject of considerable debate. Scholars are divided on the emphasis that should be placed on technological progress as an independent variable in the study of relations between states and as a factor in analyzing power configurations in the international system. Among the scientific and technological revolutions that are believed to have contributed to the changing nature of power and relations between states are transportation and communication, the industrial revolution, the nuclear revolution, and the contemporary information revolution. Future research should focus on how these technological changes are going to influence the debates on power, deterrence, diplomacy, and other instruments of IR.

In the conditions of the formation of a technotronic economy, the competitiveness of economic systems is determined by the level of their technological development, which, in turn, depends on the state of the national industrial complex. In the article, based on the use of the European classifier of economic activities, a methodology for assessing the level of technological effectiveness of economic systems is developed and tested on the data of Belarus and China. It is shown that the Belarusian economy is in a state that can be characterized as "technological stagnation", at a time when China is demonstrating dynamic technical and technological progress. It is concluded that it is necessary to give the status of the main strategic priority to a purposeful increase in the technological level of the Belarusian economy.
