Summary/Abstract |
ON DECEMBER 5, 2011, Bonn hosted a large-scale International Afghanistan Conference under the slogan "Afghanistan and the International Community: From Transition to the Transformation Decade" attended by high representatives of about 100 countries and international organizations, in short, practically the entire range of the world community. The conference met to look at ten years of post-Taliban development and reconfirm a broad international consensus on the Roadmap of the country's development after the draw-down of American and NATO contingents launched in the summer of 2011 and expected to be completed in 2014.

Summary/Abstract |
Ukraine is lost. At least lost as many of us had once imagined it-as a potential member of the European Union and, perhaps one day, of NATO. Thank the Kremlin's visionary leader for that. It's striking how confidently and quickly Russian President Vladimir Putin gobbled up Crimea. Although it was a clear-cut case of unprovoked aggression, followed by annexation, the United States and its allies were unable to lift a finger.

Summary/Abstract |
BOSPORUS' TRAFFIC will be reduced to zero," Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey stated in April 2011 as he spoke to a thousands-strong Turkish audience, suggesting as an alternative to the current Bosporus a new "grandiose project," the Bosporus-2 (the official name being Kanal Istanbul).1 Raised in the run-up to the parliamentary elections, the question of the construction of the channel immediately after the victory of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) risked being forgotten. However, from statements of the Turkish government ahead of the presidential election in August this year it became clear that work on the project continues and practical steps are already underway for its implementation.2 With some skepticism, however, Erdogan's plan upset the Turkish and world community over the issue of the legal status of the new strait and unnecessary fuss around the Straits of Bosporus and the Dardanelles.

Summary/Abstract |
In Central Asia, religion is gradually coming to the fore in everyday life as a fairly integrated phenomenon with a wide range of functions: consolidation of ethnic self-awareness, shaping spiritual and moral culture together with the awareness of being part of a religious and the world community; fulfilling social functions through religious prescriptions; formulating the ideals of social justice, as well as man's duty to the state and the state's to man, etc.
Some of the functions, however, are internally contradictory: consolidation of the religious community does not always bring society together. In other words, in some cases religion might exacerbate the relations between the state and the religious part of society.
Religious consolidation not infrequently revives old problems and breeds disagreements inside society; conscientious believers often make too rigid demands of the state (which turns them into the opposition), while any encroachments on the religious principle of fairness may stir up protest feelings.

Summary/Abstract |
December 1991 marked the beginning of a grandiose experiment whose purpose was to establish a whole group of independent states in the territory of a world giant known as the U.S.S.R., which occupied one-sixth of the Earth. Their establishment was based on the negation of the previous Soviet model providing for the domination of one party, which had imposed a no-choice ideology on the society, and for the administrative command system of politics and economics.

Summary/Abstract |
Preservation and protection of coastal ecology and the marine environment are the most significant challenges before the world community. The UN Convention on the Law of Sea, 1982 has made extensive provisions for the protection and preservation of the marine environment. The Constitution of India is probably first in the world that makes provision for the preservation and protection of the environment. The Ministry of Environment and Forests undertook an exercise to issue the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, 1991 to preserve, protect and promote coastal ecology. Furthermore, in a number of decisions, the Supreme Court has made effective observations for the proper preservation, protection and promotion of coastal ecology and the marine environment. The present paper highlights the problem of global warming, coastal ecology and the marine environment. Coastal States have a special interest in protecting and preserving their coastlines. Due to unique peculiar characteristics, the coastal zone is a meeting point for land, sea and inland waters. Coastal zones have played significant role in the development of culture and civilizations. It is the duty of the coastal States to preserve and protect coastal ecology and the marine environment.

Summary/Abstract |
IN JANUARY 1979, life in Cambodia started a slow return to normalcy in the new state - the People's Republic of Kampuchea (PRK). Under the impact of the 150-thousand-strong Vietnamese army, the Khmer Rouge tyranny collapsed. The world community, however, with few exceptions (the Soviet Union and the other socialist countries), which had condemned the Pol Pot regime, refused to recognize the PRK. The "humanitarian intervention" concept was still many years away: an indignant chorus demanded an immediate end to Vietnamese "occupation.''

Summary/Abstract |
MANY PROMINENT political and academic figures have announced the end of financial globalization as it was before the crisis. The philosophy of globalism itself based on the rapacious use of the planet's resources and complete disregard for the interests and the future of those not included among the "gold billion" has taken a severe blow. The saying goes that nature abhors a vacuum, thus a new paradigm of development of civilization is supposed to come along and replace the failed theory of mono-centric global management of the world.
