Summary/Abstract |
SINCE THE LATE 1980S, the world economic system has been oriented at the principles of liberalism; no effort was spared to plant them in the minds of all subjects of international economic relations irrespective of their readiness to accept the "open markets" policy. Great Britain and the United States, two main ideologists of economic liberalism, preferred to keep in the shade the fact that their domestic markers had remained closed for imports while their national economies had been taking shape under an umbrella of various forms of protectionism.
Mercantilism, the cornerstone of the modern theory of international trade, describes economic assets of any country represented by bullion (gold and silver) as an evidence of its wealth increased through a positive balance of trade with other nations and ensured by unequal exchange.

Summary/Abstract |
THE ROLE OF RUSSIAN ARCHIVES as historical memory keepers is assuming a greater significance now when people in our country are showing unprecedented interest in its history as well as due to the aggravation of complex historical issues in Russia's relationship with a number of countries. Archival documents cannot be "revoked" or rewritten. They tell their own tales about the complexity of historical phenomena and facts. They leave no room for making past events fit any ready-made patterns. Available to the honest researcher sincerely interested in finding historical truth, they can both counter all manner of myths and falsifications and give society guidelines for shaping a serious and reverent attitude to the past based on patriotic values. This is why free access to archives, and the declassification and publication of documents have become the fundamental principles that guide Russia's archival community.

Summary/Abstract |
IN THE context of financial globalization, international financial markets have had a strong impact on the traditional structure of corporate governance in Europe. This has manifested itself in, among other things, the strengthening of European companies' work with private investors, the recalibrating of income policy to reap short-term profits in capital markets, and the aligning of accounting practices with Anglo-American financial reporting standards [Höpner, 2003:67]. Of course, the scale and depth of this transformation has differed between northern and southern European countries on account of the distinctive features of the local business culture and differences between the socioeconomic development models practiced in these countries.

Summary/Abstract |
THE UKRAINIAN STORM of 2013-2014 pushed the world dangerously close to Cold War II. The coup and the bloodshed which swept the country were caused by the refusal of the Yanukovich regime to draw closer to the EU no matter what rather than by the fairly acute social, economic and political disagreements inside the country.1 The consecutive packages of anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the European Union and coordinated, to a great extent, with the U.S. and several other non-European allies look very logical in the context of the stalled dialogue between the two key European players. It was in 2012-2013 that many of the expert community recognized an absence of a more or less noticeable progress in moving toward a visa-free regime between the EU and Russia and in settling other important bilateral issues for what it really was: the EU's unwillingness to develop equal partnership with Russia rather than technical discrepancies (according to Brussels). Its attention was riveted to the Eastern Partnership program designed, among other things, to detach CIS countries from Russia and draw new dividing lines in Europe. Is it correct to say that the anti-Russian rhetoric heard from Brussels and its active support of the radical Ukrainian nationalists who came to power in Kiev through an armed coup buried the Greater Europe idea? What is Greater Europe?

Summary/Abstract |
Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief of International Affairs: In 2014, we paid tribute to the memory of victims of World War I, which was especially sorrowful because of what happened in Russia after the war. The heroism of those who had fought in the war was remembered in many countries and cities, Russia which had been directly involved in it being no exception. One of the events which contributed to the correct understanding of the history of World War I took place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia. I mean the presentation of the collection of documents of World War I published by the ministry's Department of History and Records.
