| Summary/Abstract |
THE PEACE AND SECURITY INSTITUTES of Europe have changed a lot during the two post-Cold War decades yet its image of the most peaceful continent with a stable security architecture is a gross overstatement. There is a mounting concern among some of the European countries with the NATO-centered system or, at least, with some of its aspects. NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia was one of such debatable issues; the NATO members procrastinated far too long in ratifying the adjusted CFE Treaty until Russia suspended its implementation of the Treaty. The 2008 armed conflict around South Ossetia just added tension to the far from simple situation.

LOCATED PARTLY IN EUROPE and partly in Asia - in two most important and problem-ridden regions of the world, Turkey is following an uncommonly proactive and ambitious foreign policy. On the one hand. Turkish diplomacy is engaged in dialogue to resolve problems with its close neighbors. On the other, Ankara is trying to establish a "belt of peace" around it by mediating in resolving important regional issues, such as Iran's nuclear program, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the Arab-Israeli confrontation.

IN NOVEMBER 2009, the Russian government approved The Russian Energy Strategy through 2030. In a situation where the struggle for energy resources has become probably the prime motive force of global politics, the path of development followed by the Russian energy industry in the next 20 years will to a very large degree predetermine the future of our country and its place in the system of international relations.

THE "MANAGEABLE CHAOS" came to the Balkans twenty years ago in the form of ethnoconfessional conflicts and wars, and continued fragmentation of what had been Yugoslavia not so long before. The peninsula was turned into a testing ground of regime change technologies known as color revolutions with the absolute majority of its population living in poverty and the military and political presence of third forces ensured by the EU and UN peacekeepers and NATO. This is a natural outcome of the development of the world system of capitalism. Why did the Balkans become a zone of instability/chaos and permanent crisis? The answer to this question is obvious.

AT THE START of the 21st century, China's military policy is designed to ensure conditions for the implementation of the national development strategy aimed at enabling China to achieve, by the middle of the 21st century (the centennial of the People's Republic of China), the status of a strong, modern, united (meaning the resolution of the Taiwan issue) power holding a leading position in the Asia Pacific Rim, equal in its political influence, economic and military might to other world powers. China links the implementation of its national strategy to the strengthening of its comprehensive state power, which is regarded as the ability of the state to mobilize all the resources, both national and international, to carry out this strategy.

EVERY NATION has its own particular national features, but an important and unifying trait of each and every one of them is respect for its ancestors and the solicitous preservation of their memory, particularly if we are talking about those who died for their homeland. Addressing a sitting of "Pobeda" (Victory) Organizational Committee on 27 January, 2009, President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev noted the special significance of the war memorial effort and care of the burial sites and memorials of the war dead, pointing out that this is the shared task and responsibility of all the government bodies.

Golden Collection series. The UN World Food Program provides food aid to the world's hungry, thus saving about 100 million people from starvation. Russia contributes to the program by sending the hungry hundreds of tons of grain totaling tens of millions of dollars through the UN World Food Program. Last year Russia chaired the UN WFP Executive Council. Immense efforts have been exerted by the Russian Federation and through our representative to accomplish those tasks that the world community has assigned to the WFP.

THE WORLD FINANCIAL and economic crisis has brought out the great interdependence of national economies under globalization conditions. Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev has noted that under the circumstances "we all become hostages to changes in the macroeconomic parameters of the world's largest economies. In order to see this coming well in advance, we must commit ourselves to studying the situations in our respective countries."1 The idea for mutual monitoring of the state of affairs in national economies was one of the important decisions of the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh in September 2009.

STRATEGIC PLANNING is a key to foreign policy successes. No political course, no matter how realistic and geared to success, can be consistently realized without a preliminary assessment of resources and options; positive and negative repercussions of political actions that might trigger possible, probable, or otherwise forecasted events and their temporal continuity. This is what strategic planning is about; it relies on short-, mid-and long-term forecasts of the military-political situation in the world.

RONALD REAGAN'S SIGNATURE PHRASE "Trust but Verify" surfaced every time the arms reduction talks were discussed in the United States. The "insidious" Russians, meanwhile, opted for "Verify Before Trusting" when dealing with the Americans, the formula suggested by the sad experience of America's unilateral withdrawal from the ABM Treaty and the extreme vagueness of Washington's strategic aims.

AS THE EXPERIENCE OF THE PAST decade as shown, the most large-scale project involving both Belarus and Russia has been the establishment of a single state of Belarusians and Russians, the decision on which was adopted in December 1999. The Treaty on the Establishment of a Union State of Belarus and Russia signed in December 1999 was a manifestation of the will of the people and political leadership of our countries to live in a single state. This document became the legitimate basis for all-encompassing integration regarding the economic and social spheres, culture, and education, as well as the sphere of security and protection of the interests of our countries on the international arena.

THE WRITING OF THIS ARTICLE was preceded by a critical study of the latest outlooks for the development of fuel and energy industries by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the International Energy Agency and Russia's Institute of Energy Strategy. Experts agree that hydrocarbons in the coming 20 years will be the basis of fuel and energy industries in the overwhelming majority of countries around the world. Since oil and gas are going to remain the energy source of choice in the world's energy balance during the above period, it is important to analyze the development prospects of the oil and gas industry around the world, in individual regions and countries. The outlooks had in mind above all the impact on the energy component of such important factors as rates of economic growth, population size, world oil price dynamics, and also the effectiveness of energy saving policies.
