Шанхайская организация сотрудничества в новых геополитических условиях

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), established more than two decades ago, is one of the most important international organizations in the non-western world. While attracting the interest of many players in the region, the SCO is still searching for direction, creating new formats, and signing new documents. This process is especially relevant in the current, rapidly changing geopolitical environment, which requires meaningful answers to key issues of security, economy, development of scientific and social spheres, and so on. In this article, the authors identify the key areas of development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, highlighting the most elaborated security track, the bloc of economic development, projects to strengthen cooperation in the field of energy resources, and issues of scientific and social development, as well as the role of the organization in the formation of the framework of Greater Eurasia. Having analyzed the SCOʼs activities on the basis of the documents it has adopted and the organizations created within its structure, as well as the narrative at the level of experts and government officials, the authors conclude that, while the SCO has a significant potential in the areas under consideration and has even achieved certain successes in some areas, such as joint security, the organization lacks quality implementation of the documents it has adopted and coherence in the joint implementation of its decisions. Despite this, the SCO has nevertheless become an important element of interaction between the blocʼs countries and a key a tool for preserving security in Eurasia

Strategy for the Development of the Export Potential of the Russian Federation in the Field of Energy Resources

The relevance of the presented study is determined by the fact that the currently implemented export-oriented raw material model of the economy cannot effectively counteract the negative geopolitical and economic conditions, which requires a regrouping of factors, sources and driving forces that determine the socio-economic development of the country, including in the fi eld of energy resources. The paper reveals trends that require consideration in the development of the export potential of the Russian Federation in the field of energy resources. The existing methodological base for research on the impact of exports on the socio-economic development of national economies is analyzed. Unresolved problems of managing the formation and implementation of the export potential of the Russian Federation in the fi eld of energy resources are identifi ed. The results of the formation of an algorithm for determining the ways to develop a rational version of the strategy for developing the export potential of the Russian Federation in the fi eld of energy resources, including: a block of studying the theoretical and methodological foundations for developing the export potential of the state; block of analysis of possible options for strategies for developing the export potential of the Russian Federation in the fi eld of energy resources; block for determining a rational variant of the strategy for developing the export potential of the Russian Federation in the fi eld of energy resources. It is assumed that the implementation of this algorithm will make it possible, on the basis of determining a rational variant of the strategy for developing the export potential of the Russian Federation in the fi eld of energy resources, to increase the efficiency of the socioeconomic development of the country as a whole.

Sankcje Unii Europejskiej wobec Rosji jako pomoc dla walczącej Ukrainy 2014–2023

The article concerns the confrontation between the European Union and the Russian Federation caused by the unjustified double aggression of Russian troops against the Republic of Ukraine. On the one hand, the EU provides significant financial and humanitarian assistance to the attacked state, but also to the aggressors, i.e. the Russian Federation. Far-reaching restrictive measures were agreed and implemented in the economic, mainly in the financial sphere and in the field of energy resources, as well as diplomatic restrictions. The sanctions are also aimed at Belarus, which is Russia’s closest ally and co-participant in the aggression against Ukraine. By mid-2023, the EU had adopted ten sanction packages, which in total affected 207 entities and 1,473 individuals. The actions of the EU institutions and member states have contributed to the weakening of the Russian economy and the reduction of Russia’s GDP, and have significantly made life difficult for the people of the Russian Federation and Belarus.

Climate agenda on the eve of COP-26: experience of Latin America

The newest world history has been marked by economic crises, environmental disasters an increase in intrastate and interstate armed conflicts, as well as an escalating confrontation in the field of energy resources. Among these risks, environmental problems such as global warming, sea level rise, soil erosion and shortages of food and fossil fuels have become unprecedentedly visible. This article focuses on a new climate agenda in the light of COP-26, taking place in Glasgow, and the regional experience of Latin America in confronting climate threats and adapting to climate changes since the ratification of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The authors consider the main international climate instruments, as well as those achievements on the way to greening national economies, which were undertaken by the LAC states within the mechanisms of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Since the ratification of the Paris Agreement, every Latin American state has made progress in implementing the environmental agenda and developing legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. The conclusion highlights the need for broad state participation on the base of proven instruments for solving major environmental problems, further developing early warning systems and consistent implementation of the planned action plans to reduce the risk of disasters and their consequences. Primary importance is attached to interstate dialogue to tackle the environmental challenges, commitment to the responsible fulfillment of international climate agreements and further development of international framework in the field of environmental law. Joint initiatives among the states of the region are expected to have significant effect on reducing emissions of these gases. Moreover, the market-based instruments proposed by the Paris Agreement are known to be an important complement to the ongoing efforts to comply with the overall UNFCCC climate agenda.

The SCO space in a geopolitical configuration of Eurasia: rapprochement and contradictions of energy interests (the case of China)

The complex geopolitical processes in Eurasia led to the formation of a new format of regional interdependenceof all SCO member-states. One of the complex issues are conflicting energy interests ofoil and gas suppliers and consumers. The “middle position” of post-Soviet Central Asian states of Eurasiabecame a natural geopolitical argument in favor of using the territory of CA as a transcontinental “bridge”between the southeastern part of the SCO and Europe. The participation of Russia, China, India andPakistan in regional energy policy, as well as SCO observer-states is an important component of Eurasiansecurity, which adds a global dimension to the organization. SCO unites on a common platform exportersand importers of energy resources without the involvement of third countries.At the same time, there is a contradictory nature of interaction between all participants of the Shanghaiprocess, which has negative consequences and hinders the development of regional cooperation inCentral Asia itself. Many projects within the framework of the Chinese megatrend “One Belt, One Way,”including the active participation of Kazakhstan, indicate the development of the multilateral format.Considering that the source of China’s economic growth is in availability of hydrocarbon resources at theproper level, the policy of China will focus on a wide support of energy projects under SCO.The purpose of this article is to consider the multilateral format of SCO cooperation as one of thepossible ways to reduce the risk of contradictions in the field of energy resources and solve problemsthrough participation in joint energy projects.Key words: SCO, energy interests, contradictions, Eurasia geopolitics, Central Asia, SCO Strategy,cooperation.

ANALYSIS OF ENERGY POLICY OF UKRAINE

The article considers the trends of public administration in ensuring the energy efficiency of Ukraine's economy. The relevance of scientific research of state energy policy in the field of energy efficiency is due to current trends in integration development of the country, as well as recognition at the state level of the fact that modern energy saving legislation does not meet the current level of public relations. Today, in the field of efficient use of energy resources, there are about one hundred and fifty regulations, a system of standards, and a number of other normative and methodological documents. These acts and documents through direct or indirect legal influence on relations in the field of efficient use of energy resources allowed to create a structure of public administration and control in the field of energy resources, to introduce a system of standardization of fuel and energy resources and more. Energy efficiency monitoring should be based on a clearly defined system of indicators, which, in turn, should consist of: integrated generalized macroeconomic indicator (energy intensity of GDP), indicators that characterize the energy intensity of economic sectors (gross value added energy), individual production efficiency as well as indicators that characterize the energy efficiency of certain technologies, types of equipment, materials. In the context of Ukraine's European integration aspirations, issues of energy policy and energy efficiency in particular are becoming particularly relevant, given the problems that arise during its implementation. The authors analyze the mechanism of formation and implementation of the state energy policy of Ukraine in the field of energy efficiency in general, the dynamics of energy consumption, as well as the reasons for non-implementation of energy efficiency programs in Ukraine. In turn, the conducted SWOT-analysis of Ukraine's energy policy demonstrates special areas that should be given priority in order to achieve optimal performance in the implementation of national energy policy.

Perspectives of the convergence of domestic and european energy markets in the context of Ukraine-European integration

The article examines the prospects of cooperation between the European Union and Ukraine in the context of the globalization of energy markets. The issues of the most beneficial ways of forming long-term partnerships in the energy sector, which can lead to a strong economic and political partnership, are described in detail. The Ukrainian attempts to borrow the positive features of the European energy sector are analized here. The aim of the work is to study theoretical aspects, generalization of methodological approaches to substantiate ways to improve the functioning of the Ukrainian energy market in the way of its convergence with the EU energy market. The tasks that stemming from this goal, which were decided during the study, are to examine the process of convergence of the Ukrainian and European energy markets and to find and suggest ways to accelerate this process. The object of the study is the process of convergence of Ukrainian and the EU energy markets. In analyzing the tendencies of integration of Ukrainian energy market into the energy market of the European Union, the methods of statistical grouping and logical analysis were used. The results of the study are as follows. Convergence of the European and domestic energy markets will contribute to expanding Ukraine's fuel self-sufficiency, as the introduction of new technologies borrowed from European partners will intensify. It will also create a legal basis for expanding trade turnover and investment flows in the field of energy resources for each of the players within international relations, will form the basis for creating a common economic space between the partners. Conclusions. The first opportunity for Ukraine is to use the EU experience in creating a stable energy market, as well as its system of regulation; modernizing the economy and using the European experience of institutional development.
