The Role of Media Diplomacy in Shaping the State’s International Image

The article attempts to determine the role of media diplomacy in shaping the state's image in the international arena. Media diplomacy under the conditions of globalization transformed geopolitical relations and changed the hierarchical system of foreign policy decision-making, highlighting the competition among states for the opportunity to influence public opinion. The information policy of the state involves not only the dissemination of positive information about it in the international information space, but also the integration of politicians, state government structures, non-state actors, famous personalities, and opinion leaders into the brand management system of the state's national policy. At the same time, the use of social media platforms in the implementation of diplomatic activities has led to the fact that any user of a social network today is not only a consumer of information, but also a direct supplier and distributor of it, meaning they have the opportunity to influence the adoption of certain decisions at the state level and shape in this way the image of the state. The article analyzes the use of media diplomacy mechanisms in the formation of Ukraine's image, identifies positive and negative aspects, and discusses prospects for its development.

International Aspect of PRC Information Security Policy

This article examines the international aspect of China’s information security policy. Due to the fact that the information sphere is becoming increasingly important in relations between states, the appeal to the policy of one of the leading international actors — the People’s Republic of China — is in demand and relevant. China’s experience in ensuring information security may be in demand in other countries, including the Russian Federation.Aim. The purpose of the article is to characterize the international aspect of China’s information security policy and to reveal the specifics of China’s interaction with other countries in this area.Tasks. To achieve this goal was conducted a review of key international documents ensuring the international information security of the People’s Republic of China, as well as the country’s domestic legislation in this area. Also the issue of confrontation between China and the United States in the information space was considered.Methods. The study employs the historical method to examine the development of China’s information security system, document analysis to review China’s domestic and international legislation in the field of information security, and comparative analysis to compare the approaches of different countries in the field of cybersecurity.Results. The conducted research highlights the following key outcomes: In the context of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), Сhina demonstrates a commitment to the joint development of international legal norms in the field of information security, as well as actively participates in the creation of cooperation agreements in this area, emphasizing the state’s role as an advocate for a multipolar world in cyberspace. Within the framework of interactions with the BRICS countries, China aims to deepen cooperation in the field of information security through a series of initiatives and agreements aimed at developing common approaches and standards. This cooperation contributes to the creation of a unified protection system in the information sphere among the BRICS countries, strengthening their positions in the international information space. In relations with the United States of America, the interaction of China is characterized by competition and confrontation, especially in the context of cybersecurity. This includes differences in approaches to regulating the information space and cyber espionage. Nonetheless, existing contradictions and conflicts underscore the need for dialogue and cooperation to develop common international rules of behavior in cyberspace, which can contribute to ensuring international information security and stability.Conclusions. The international aspect of the China’s information security policy reveals various forms of interaction with other countries, each with its unique features. These relationships form a multi-level system of international information security, in which the PRC plays a key role, aiming to create a balanced and secure information space.

Global problems in education as a research object in international databases: a historical perspective

Introduction. Global problems of modernity and globalisation are appealing to scientists as a research subject not only for understanding their nature, development, and manifestations in various spheres of life (in the case of our study, in education) but also because a comprehensive analysis is essential to combat them. Aim. The study aimed to trace the history of scientific research on the impact of global issues on the education system. It utilised bibliometry to conduct a qualitative content analysis of selected works to identify existing research trends within the topic and factors influencing the research agenda both in Russian Federation and abroad. Methodology and research methods. The research utilizes bibliometric methods and qualitative content analysis of publications (articles, conference proceedings, monographs, and reports) from open-access scientific journals at the final stage of publication. The study also examines statistical reports from the international Scopus database for the period from 1978 to 2023, selected based on bibliometric criteria. Papers were analysed and classified according to their publication periods and the number of citations they received. Based on the results of a qualitative content analysis comparing scientific agendas worldwide and in Russian Federation, the study identified the topics, conceptual foundations, and key participants influencing the resolution of global education issues across various historical periods. Results. Four waves of interest in this topic were identified: 1988–1999, 2000–2012, 2013–2018, and 2019–2023. From 1988 to 1999, all studies can be broadly categorised into two groups: teaching methods and organisation of educational activities. The development of specific trends in the study of global education problems began only between 2000 and 2012. From 2013 to 2018, scientists focused on restructuring the educational process in new conditions. From 2019 to 2023, the focus shifted to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the organisation and transformation of the educational process. It has been established that the thematic focus of research by Russian scientists and the international scientific community as a whole differs. The authors cite and analyse the possible historical reasons for this divergence. Scientific novelty is ensured by the absence of similar research in the international information space. Practical significance lies in the necessity, given the current socio-economic situation, to highlight global education issues for the purpose of planning and coordinating research efforts.

ОСВІТНЯ КОНЦЕПЦІЯ "РУССКОГО МІРА" ЯК ЗБРОЯ РОСІЙСЬКОГО НЕОІМПЕРІАЛІЗМУ

The Russian-Ukrainian war of 2014–2024 led to the intensification of the information struggle in all spheres of life in modern society. One of the leading directions of the aggressor state's efforts was the transformation of its own education system and the spread of its influence in the international information space. At the beginning of the 21st century in the russian federation, a large-scale socio-political experiment was launched to change the worldview of its population. The declaration by the russian political establishment of its own country as a separate civilization with messianic tasks of a global scale made it necessary to search for a new educational paradigm that would ensure the successful reception of the ideology of the "russian world" by participants in the educational process. Clericalism, militarism, and xenophobia should become the new worldview coordinates of education. The final result of such an educational process should be the formation of an imperial identity among its participants. Thus, the russian neo-imperial educational concept is de facto a kind of information-psychological weapon. The implementation of its provisions will allow russia to obtain in the near future a powerful human resource for continuing an aggressive foreign policy course. Thus, there is a need to find appropriate and effective tools for countering russian influence in the educational space. The purpose of the proposed research is to reveal the peculiarities of the use of the ideology of the "russian world" as an organizational factor of the neo-imperial concept of education, which should contribute to counteracting anti-Ukrainian informational destructive influences.

Countering Extremist Ideology and Media Security of the State

National security in the media sphere is becoming a multifaceted task related to the implementation of Russia’s cultural sovereignty in the context of digital transformation. Strategic planning for the development of the national media space involves domestic political and diplomatic decisions of a conceptual nature that can ensure the unity of the international information space while countering threats: (1) propaganda of violent extremism, (2) popularization of destructive ideology, (3) reduction of cultural capital level of the party in power and opposition. Operational plans for ensuring media security quite often follow the logic of situational response to threats posed by enemies and implement protective measures in relation to the media space at the national level. In methodological terms, the media security of the state is characterized by systemic practices of ensuring information security (in formal legal analysis), and analysis of threats to cognitive and noospheric security (in the natural science study of communication processes). The research methodology involves the use of the method of participant observation inherent in noxology to classify threats emanating from the mass media. Among the main objectives of the article: analysis of modern Russian political and legal documents aimed at ensuring media security and countering extremism, characterizing the Russian policy of securitization of social problems in the media sphere, delimiting legal political struggle from criminal (extremist and destructive) practices of political communication. The objectives of the study include the analysis of foreign experience in ensuring national media security in the context of digitalization and the growing threat of violent extremism. The logic of competition in the digital cultural space practically excludes the use of secrecy, censorship and forcing the audience to watch propaganda in the process of ensuring media security. Public relations in the media sphere involves the choice of media content by the audience of the global information space, which means that the protection of national spiritual and moral values is implemented in the liberal paradigm and demands open dialogue between the party in power and the opposition on topical issues of national security.

Формування масмедійного іміджу Українизасобами антверпенської газети «Het Laatste Nieuws»(під час третього періоду російсько-української війни)

The purposeof the study was to identify the means of forming the mass media image of Ukraine during the third period of the Russian-Ukrainian war by the foreign media «Het Laatste Nieuws».Research methodology. The research was carried out by conducting a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of 10 issues of the Antwerp newspaper «Het Laatste Nieuws»in the period from 23.02.2023 to 31.03.2023.Total number of analyzed publications: 1002 publications or 100%of these, 27 publications (2.69%) relatedto Ukraine/the war in Ukraine were found.News about Ukraine and/or the war in Ukraine is most often published in the special column «War in Ukraine» («Oorlog in Ukraine»).According to the results of processing the received data, it was established that the Antwerp newspaper «Het Laatste Nieuws»forms a positive image of our country on the world information area, highlighting the whole truth about the brutal war that Russia started on the territory of Ukraine.Conclusions.Demonstration of the military feats of our army, courage, bravery, endurance, heroism and patriotism of the Ukrainian military help to form the image of Ukraine as a protective country with high moral principles, competitive and purposeful. A positive massmedia image of the country in the international information space determines its place in the world ranking, ensures a successful future and development side by side with the leading countries of the world.

Author and organization profiles in Dimensions and Lens information systems: The study of functionality

The paper demonstrates the features of author and organizational publication profiles in Dimensions and Lens information systems. In recent years, these systems have been successfully competing with many subscription-based systems. The authors discuss the advantages of these databases in terms of coverage of research content in publication profiles as compared to that of commercial bibliographic platforms, as well as the wide range of functional capabilities. As illustrated by publication profiles of two research organizations and their authors, we describe original approaches to searching bibliographic information, as well as editing bibliographic errors in databases. These features enable (a) to monitor effectively the scholarly output of research organizations and authors, and (b) to enhance visibility of research findings in the international information space. Solving information-retrieval problems and editing publication profiles of Russian organizations and authors in Dimensions and Lens prove to be similar to that of commercial systems, i. e. Web of Science and Scopus. The vast experience of working with proprietary databases and subscription-based systems, would enable Russian academic libraries to adapt to new interfaces in a short time frame.

Increased Role of Open Bibliographic Data in the Context of Restricted Access to Proprietary Information Systems

The paper presents a review of function capabilities and coverage of sources in open bibliographic databases that can be useful in the limited access to proprietary information systems. Databases were primarily evaluated with regard to their usefulness for researchers and research libraries who solve the problems of information and patent search, bibliometric assessment of authors, promotion of papers in international information space, searching collaborators or conducting bibliometric studies. We focused on multidisciplinary databases covering wide range of international scientific literature. Based on our own experience and literature review, we concluded on possibility in principle to solve almost all information-retrieval and bibliometric tasks using current open bibliographic databases and their web-tools. Furthermore, large volumes of metadata are now regarded as a basic and non-unique feature of different databases, while analytical characteristics are taking centre stage.

The specificity of the so-called digital sovereignity in Russia on the example of the Russian segment of the Internet the RuNet.

Due to the activity of the Russian Federation in the digital information space, it seems necessary to examine the role (identity) of Russia in the sphere of international information security and the process of shaping Russian national interests in this field. One of the steps leading to the achievement of the above research objective is an attempt to analyse the specificity of the Russian segment of the Internet the RuNet, which functions according to internal regulations and is becoming more and more independent of the global network. The main hypothesis of the article is the assumption that the nature of the Russian segment of the Internet the RuNet, deeply embedded in the Russian culture, is an excellent space for implementing the so-called digital sovereignty, which is on a par with digital authoritarianism in Russia. During the considerations, reference was made to Russia's geopolitical and cultural issues concerning the conceptualisation of Russian national interests in the changed international information space. The article briefly presents the Russian legislation related to the process of implementing the so-called digital sovereignty.

Решение проблемы многоязычия в международном научно-техническом информационном пространстве

The solution to the problem of multilingualism in the international scientific and technical information space is connected with machine translation (MP) technologies. The translation process within the framework of the concept of phraseological conceptual translation of texts can be represented as the process of transmitting the semantic content of the source text by means of the output language. Within the framework of this concept, the translation of texts is provided by the conceptual analysis of the source text and the transformation of its semantic content into the target language. This approach is based on understanding the laws of the functioning of natural languages and theoretical ideas about the semantic structure of texts. The basis of the approach is the technology of automated formation of thematic dictionary bases that adequately reflect the conceptual composition of various thematic areas.

Critical views on the phenomenon of EU digital sovereignty through the prism of global data governance reality: main obstacles and challenges

Abstract Summary This article is devoted to determining the role and place of the EU in the international information space, as well as identifying problematic aspects and existing challenges that the EU faces in implementing its digital strategy in the field of data governance and protection. In the context of the growing influence of such key political figures as, for example, the USA and China, which have dominant influence on the digital economy, the issue of proper ensuring the digital sovereignty of the EU in the field of global data governance comes to the fore. This is due to the fact that it is the digital sovereignty that should guarantee the strategic autonomy of the EU in the digital world in the context of the EU’s increasing dependence on foreign technologies and services and a shortage of investments in the digital sector. In this research, the authors focus on the need to develop and use a model of multilateral participation in the field of data governance and protection in the digital world, which, in turn, implies prevention of weakening the role of the state in regulating the digital market, since it is the states (including the EU) that are the primary guarantors of human rights protection in the digital world.

Today, in the conditions of the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the importance of Ukrainian national values, the process of symbolizing which can be observed both on television and in the Internet media, as well as in social networks and popular messengers, is being actualized. The most symbolic now are the colors of the Ukrainian flag as the state symbol of Ukraine. At the same time, the process of symbolization affected such Ukrainian national values as the trident, Cossack, mace, embroidered towel, vyshyvanka (embroidered shirt or dress) and borscht. In the Ukrainian information and communication space, in particular on television and in the Internet media, blue and yellow colors symbolize, mainly, the official representations of Ukraine as a state and its officials. In social networks and messengers, emojis, as well as photos, posters or videos in blue and yellow colors have a much wider functional palette: from a visual marker of Ukrainian material to an incentive to unite in the struggle for the native land. In the global information and communication space, a bright trend towards the use of Ukrainian national symbols during public actions in support of Ukraine as a state and the Ukrainian people as a fighter for the freedom and independence of their country has been observed.

Information and communication policy of the state in the conditions of modern challenges and threats

The article examines the theoretical and legal aspects of the principles of information and communication policy of the state in the face of modern challenges and threats. The expediency of developing legislation on information and communication policy of the state is substantiated. The current legislation and scientific literature on the problems of information policy of the states are analyzed.. The growing role of information and communication technologies in the activities of the state determines the actualization for further study and analysis. Today, in the context of full-scale Russian aggression, the formation of an effective information policy is one of Ukraine’s strategic goals and therefore requires special attention and research. The state of political, economic, defense and other components of our state’s security depends on the effective management of the national information space. Shortcomings in the formation and implementation of state information policy, sometimes its actual absence in many areas of information relations, including countering information wars, lack of systematic and comprehensive approach to regulatory support of relevant processes, as well as forecasting external and internal threats to national security , the development of a strategy for the entry of Ukrainian society into the international information space, etc. have repeatedly been the subject of coverage of domestic lawyers, representatives of related sciences. Today it is necessary to return to the Verkhovna Rada and adopt the Concept of State Information Policy in Ukraine, which would define the main directions, principles, principles of state activity, mechanisms for its implementation, a system of targeted measures to solve existing problems and more. This would make it possible, in particular, to formulate proposals at the system level for amendments to the current legislation in order to improve it. In order to implement an effective information policy of the state, which is the ideological and legal basis of its important legal regulation, will ensure its consistency, systemic and state security. The conclusion is made about the need to develop theoretical and legal aspects of the concept of state information and communication policy, the need for their development and improvement. It is proved that information and communication policy should become the main means of expressing the position of the state and ensuring its information security in the face of modern challenges and threats. Key words: information, communication, information and communication policy of the state, information security

Image media topics in the mass media of the Republic of Kazakhstan

This article aims to analyse and discuss the main image media topics in the media of the Republic of Kazakhstan since such materials largely determine the media landscape of Kazakhstan and are positioning the country in the international information space. The analytical-synthetic method is the methodological basis for the research. Additional methods were also used: comparative and inductive-deductive methods, synthesis, generalization, interpretation, analysis of scientific literature, journalistic and scientific articles, as well as content analysis and elements of meta-analysis. The author focuses on the fact that image media topics should be distinguished from media topics aimed at the formation of national identity. At the same time, it is emphasized that under certain conditions, almost any media topic can become an image and affects the country’s image in both positive and negative aspects. These issues are considered in the context of the strengthening of globalization processes.

TRANSFORMATION OF FOREIGN-POLICY COMMUNICATION OF THE EU, GERMANY, AND UKRAINE

The study’s purpose is to critically analyse approaches to international communi- cation in the global environment and clarify the specifics of processes that char- acterize the asymmetry of foreign-policy communication because the contem- porary communication tools allow forming both a positive perception of foreign policy initiatives and a negative attitude of politicians or the world community toward foreign-policy actions. As a result, the research focuses on studying the transformation of the EU foreign-policy communication tools; analysing the practice of foreign-policy communications of Germany and Ukraine; detecting the impact of destructive communications on the image of the EU, Germany, and Ukraine in the international information space. The main conclusions of the research are such statements: the aggravation of Ukrainian-Russian relations has demonstrated an imbalance in the existing for- eign-policy orientations; the EU leaders rethought the political impact of supra- national formation on the contemporary system of international relations; Ger- many’s practice in foreign-policy communication concerns the preservation of the position as a world leader that is able to influence the solution of complex international political and security issues.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISM AS A SOURCE OF FORMING IMAGE OF THE COUNTRY ABROAD

The concept of “mass communication” in the works of Ukrainian and foreign scholars considers the exchange of international information, which is related to certain social members and which is mediated through special technical means. It consists of at least three aspects: information, the process of transmission and dissemination of information, as well as the actual means of communication. Through these processes, the world community can learn about what is happening in a country. International communication is divided into formal and informal, and the results and its action are mostly aimed not only at the individual but also at the mass consciousness. International communication is an important component of the media sphere of any country. Thanks to it, the status of the state is characterized in the diplomatic arena. It also affects the political image. International cooperation, attraction of foreign investments, perception of the country on the international arena and attitude to its citizens depend on the international image of the country. To achieve the goal of the study, the Russian, Polish and American media were analyzed. Content analysis of foreign media showed that Ukraine is present in the foreign media space in various narratives. In particular, the Russian media write about Ukraine only in a negative sense, focusing on economic difficulties and problems. Instead, the Polish and American media report on the growth of Russian troops near the borders of Ukraine, on encouraging vaccination, and on the foreign policy of our country. In order to increase the number of “Ukrainian topics” in the international information space, representatives of the Ukrainian political elite need to cooperate with foreign journalists, actively give them comments, interviews, increase the number of foreign trips and meetings with representatives of political, business and scientific circles. This will help to counteract the destructive campaigns in the international information environment against Ukraine.

Cooperation Prospects between the EAEU Member States in the Field of Information Security

ABSTRACT The article examines the global challenges facing the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) associated with significant progress in the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) and tools that form the international information space, and suggests directions for integration to overcome them. The rapid build-up by the countries of the world of their potential in the field of ICT predetermines the strategic nature of the advanced cooperation of the EAEU member states in the field of information security.Aim. Determine the opportunities and prospects for cooperation between the EAEU Member States in the field of information security in the context of unprecedented digitalization of all spheres of life, due to the rapid development of ICT, while the Treaty on the EAEU of May 29, 2014 does not provide for information security issues.Tasks. Consider the existing regulatory framework for bilateral and multilateral relations of the EAEU countries in the field of information security, determine the vector, priorities of the EAEU countries in building their national policies in the field of international information security with integration partners and the world community.Methods. In this paper, using the methods of logical and deductive analysis, possible conditions for cooperation between the EAEU countries in the field of international information security are identified to overcome global challenges and threats and ensure the post-cuperation development of Eurasian integration.Results. The study showed that today information security is not only a necessary condition for ensuring national sovereignty in the economic sphere, but these are issues of ensuring the independence of the state in the social, cognitive, military and political spheres. When considering the EAEU as one of the leading centers of power in the polycentric world, it is necessary to improve the existing paradigm for the development of Eurasian integration, laid down by the Treaty on the EAEU of May 29, 2014, in order not to be in conditions of unjustified expectations, providing for the involvement of issues of a new quality and character.Conclusion. Considering that information policy issues are not regulated by the Treaty on the EAEU of May 29, 2014, seems justified and a very timely launch of the process of considering the possibility of creating a high-level working group on the formation of the Eurasian agenda in the field of international information security.

“Digital geopolitics” in the regional context: certain challenges and prospects of the European Union on the path towards information sovereignty

The COVID-19 pandemic and coronacrisis have clearly exposed the strong dependence of modern companies on the approaches towards data management, stability of information networks and digitalization, as well as significantly strengthened the assertion of the Europeans in the need to achieve strategic autonomy with regards to development of the own digital solutions. The article aims to determine the place of the European Union in the international information and communication space in the context of global data management policy. Research methodology leans on the principles of the multi-paradigm method used for extrapolating some provisions of Robert Gilpin’s hegemonic stability theory on the modern technological competition among the countries on the international arena within the framework of regional approach. The article examines the term “information sovereignty” based on the principles of international law in a constantly changing international environment. The research addresses such documents as “New Industrial Strategy for Europe”, “European Data Strategy”, and the decision of the European Court of Justice concerning the Transatlantic Privacy Shield Agreement. As an example of the European digital policy, the author examines the ambitious GAIA-X project intended to create an open digital ecosystem and develop common requirements for the European data infrastructure. The article formulates the recommendations aimed at ensuring effective management in the digital sector, and offers the model of multilateral participation, which would allow reaching information sovereignty based on the European values and ideals.

LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF THE GODONYMIC SYSTEM OF ALMATY

The article reveals the linguistic, historical, cultural, social features of godonyms, their quantitative and qualitative indicators as an important linguistic part of the onomastic space of the city of Almaty. The godonyms of the city of Almaty require special study, since they are the main significant object that forms the linguistic, cultural and socio-ethical consciousness of the population, guests and tourists. Since the city is witnessing numerous reforms and historical processes, the study of linguistic features, streets allow you to identify names of national importance, as well as their development. Onomastic names of the city, including godonyms, freely fit into the world, international information space and are widely reflected. It can be observed on electronic maps google map, Yandex map, mobile applications 2GIS. The city’s godonymic names on these maps are transmitted in international Latin graphics or in Russian. The article carried out a synchronous and diachronic, comparative statistical analysis of the streets of Almaty, determined the proportion of national names and classified by semantic type. Specific recommendations are given on the unification of the city of Almaty’s godonymy (street and metro names).
