The authors propose an integral model of state’s public image formation, which provides for the synergy of actors of public diplomacy. The result of its implementation is the formation of the components of the state image (regional, multicultural, culinary, educational, expert) together with official products (national symbols, reputation characteristics, socio-economic development indicators, rating indicators and e-diplomacy products) «from below». Both the central government and local communities in the context of the implementation of «bottom-up» policy should be involved in the realization of a successful image formation policy. The authors emphasize that the policy of state’s image formation in the external information space should be considered as a multifaceted component of the foreign policy of the state. The tools, channels and subjects of formation and adjustment of the stateʼs image should be embedded in each of the vectors of foreign policy – in security, diplomatic, economic, social, legal, and directly information vectors.

Social-psychological reasons for the spread of the“AUE” subculture (hidden factors of the problem)

The article identifies the deep causes of the new wave of minors criminalization in the Russian society. The authors considered the expert opinions on this issue and found them inconsistent; described the main forms of behavior associated with the adoption of criminal values - primary, game, and re-criminalization which usually have different social localization; summarized the historical aspects of adolescent criminalization in the Russian society and its social-cultural factors. Based on the analysis of the official statistics and the results of the empirical studies conducted in 2019-2020 within the project Deep causes of teenage (neo)criminalization in contemporary Russia supported by the RFBR, the authors assess the scale of real and virtual criminalization, features of legal outlook, social-psychological well-being, and worldview of criminalized and ordinary teenagers. In addition to the traditionally identified causes of criminalization (social-economic and cultural-educational inequality, deprivation, territorial-geographical specificity, etc.), the authors consider social-cultural factors: first, violations in socialization and child-parental relations - as leading to the deprivation of the need for love and recognition of minors by their parents and to the attempts to compensate this deprivation destructively, with criminal practices; second, the types of minors heroes, which determine the normative and gender inversion and the spread of the criminal subculture - as a source of the surrogate pseudo-masculine discourse. The authors make a conclusion that the prevention of minors criminalization should be based on psychological-pedagogical and social-cultural technologies, the main actors of which are the family, school and state information policy, while the normative-legal technologies of social control, the actors of which are administrative and law enforcement agencies, should focus on the crime-deterrent function.

Policy of international organizations on information security

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of international information security. It is part of overall international security. International information security is a state of international relations that excludes a violation of global stability and threats to the security of states in the information space.Information threats are a new challenge to international peace and security. Therefore, for effective counteraction, it is necessary to adapt to modern realities. Since international organizations are created to unite the efforts of states to achieve certain goals, they (organizations) must also adapt to changes. They must transform their policy in the field of international security and, in particular, in the field of information security. Accordingly, the subject of this research is the transformation of the policy of international organizations in the field of information security.International organizations are adapting to new threats in two directions:1) transformation of the structure of the international organization itself;2) transformation of the security policy of international organizations.The transformation of the security policy of international organizations can be divided into internal and external.The internal transformation of the security policy of international organizations presupposes a reorientation (or additions) of their goals of activity. If earlier, speaking of global security, they meant only military-political security, today it is also food security, climate security, space, energy and information security.External transformation of the security policy of international organizations presupposes close cooperation with regional organizations, departments and governments of states (according to the level of communication) in the field of information security.Defending its information interests, each state must take care of information security. The strengthening of the Ukrainian statehood also requires the same. A balanced state information policy of Ukraine should be formed as an integral part of its national security. And also as a part of socio-economic policy in accordance with the priorities of national interests and threats. From a legal point of view, it is based on the principles of a rule-of-law democratic state and is implemented through the development and implementation of relevant national doctrines, strategies, concepts and programs in accordance with applicable law.
