Description of the slide:

Coat of arms and flag At all times, color was given a special meaning. White is peace and purity of conscience, red is fire and courage, blue is heaven, fidelity and truth, green is natural wealth. The colors of the State flags are associated with folk ideas about beauty. White, red colors have long been used in national folk costumes. Shirts were sewn from white linen, elegant sundresses and other clothes were made from red fabric. In the folk art of the Slavic peoples, white and red colors have a special meaning: White color is a symbol of purity, and red is a symbol of life. Blue color resembles the color of the sky, which means it symbolizes high and pure. The green color symbolizes the natural heritage. That is why these colors were often used by peasants for their clothing and decoration of their homes. We also notice these colors in architecture, for example, white cathedrals and red walls, towers and an elegant combination of blue and white in the decoration of temples. Guests and tourists coming from other states see the State Flag and National emblem. We also see the coat of arms on the banknotes of countries, on seals confirming the authenticity of important documents.

Russia and UK. The history of relations between Great Britain and Russia Harmony did not always reign in them, but they are much longer and richer than many people think. The bonds between the British and Russian royal houses were intertwined with trade contacts. Trade relations between the two countries began over 400 years ago. Britain and Russia fought together against Nazi Germany. The unique feature of British aid to the Soviet Union was that it maintained a tradition of maritime and commercial relations. After the Second World War, the development of relations was hampered by " cold war» However, bilateral contacts continued, including visits to high level. Margaret Thatcher in 1984 called Mikhail Gorbachev a man with whom she could "do business". The mutual understanding established between them in the 1980s helped pave the way for a positive state of relations between the two countries. After the collapse of the USSR, relations between the UK and the Russian Federation improved, but deteriorated again in the 2000s due to disagreements over extraditions. This disagreement developed into the deportation of four Russian diplomats Great Britain, soon followed by the deportation of four British diplomats by Russia. Several offices of the British Consulate and one organization for cultural cooperation were forced to close. Since 2007, Russia has again started long-range patrols with TU-95 bombers. These patrols repeatedly passed close to British airspace, where they were escorted by British fighters. However, there are also positive aspects of the development of Russian-British relations. Russia and the UK are actively developing cooperation in the energy sector. In September 2003, at the Energy Forum in London, a Communiqué on cooperation in the field of energy was signed, a Memorandum between the two countries on the construction of the North European Gas Pipeline, through which Russian gas Baltic Sea will arrive in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and other countries.

International Relations in the Modern World

Modern world- the world of competition. The best illustration of this is the development of events over several years of the 21st century. Countries with highly developed economies are pushing less developed competitors out of those promising world markets where they can do it. But not only economies compete - there is a competition between projects of the future world order, between different points vision on the path of development, between the forms of organization of international life and the principles of relations between countries.

After the collapse of the USSR, 15 sovereign states. Moreover, many states appeared on the world map that either did not exist before (Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan), or had a very limited experience of independent statehood (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). A special category of "unrecognized post-Soviet states" also appeared, including Nagorno-Karabakh, the Transnistrian Moldavian Republic, the Republic of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The states that emerged in the post-Soviet space initially faced the objective need to search for their “international structural identity”. The republics of the former USSR faced a choice - to start the process of forming a new international political region or join one or another already existing one.

Integration processes in the CIS

Integration processes in the CIS are taking place in conditions of a deep systemic socio-economic crisis. Economic ties between the states of the Commonwealth have significantly weakened. the role of the Commonwealth states in the dynamically growing world economy has sharply decreased. The CIS countries can strengthen their position in the global economy only through the formation of a regional association of states that can become integral part world post-industrial center in the form of its fourth regional component along with the EU, NAFTA and APEC. Otherwise, they will inevitably be forced out to the backward periphery with the predominance of the extraction of non-renewable mineral resources and the production of low-tech, labor-intensive and resource-intensive products. IN last years integration processes in the CIS go hand in hand with the emergence and active development of regional associations of the Commonwealth countries.

Union State: Russia and Belarus

Russia and Belarus have maintained the closest economic ties since Soviet times. On December 8, 1999, they signed the Treaty on the Establishment of the Union State of Belarus and Russia (entered into force on January 26, 2000). Active work is underway to form a common legal framework, a single currency, economic, defense and humanitarian space. The Union is supposed to establish a single Constitution and legislation, a president, parliament, cabinet of ministers and other organs of supreme power, symbols (flag, coat of arms, anthem), currency (it is assumed that the Russian ruble should become the single currency), army, passport, etc. n. Currently, the symbols of the Union State - the flag, coat of arms and anthem are not approved. The President and the single Parliament of the Union may be elected by popular vote.

Eurasian Economic Community

On October 10, 2000, in Astana (Republic of Kazakhstan), the heads of state (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan) signed the Treaty on the Establishment of the Eurasian Economic Community. The Treaty lays down the concept of close and effective trade and economic cooperation to achieve the goals and objectives defined by the Treaty on the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space. Organizational and legal instruments for the implementation of the agreements reached, a system for monitoring the implementation of the decisions taken and the responsibility of the Parties are provided. In August 2006 on Interstate Council EurAsEC made a fundamental decision to create Customs Union consisting of only three states ready for this - Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan. Participating countries: Republic of Belarus (200 1) Republic of Kazakhstan (2001) Republic of Kyrgyzstan (2001) Russian Federation(2001) Republic of Tajikistan (2001) Republic of Uzbekistan (2006) Observer countries: Armenia (2003) Moldova (2002) Ukraine (2002)

Central Asian cooperation

The Central Asian Cooperation (CAC) was established on February 28, 2002 by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to replace the Central Asian Economic Community. The declared Goal is the creation of a single economic space in the Central Asian region. On October 18, 2004, at the CAC summit in Dushanbe, Vladimir Putin signed a protocol on Russia's accession to this organization. The summit confirmed the unquestionably dominant role that Russia will play as an investment donor and mediator in resolving conflict situations. On October 6, 2005, at the CACO summit in St. Petersburg, a decision was made, in connection with the upcoming entry of Uzbekistan into the EurAsEC, to prepare documents for the creation of a united organization of the CACO-EurAsEC - that is, in fact, it was decided to abolish the CACO.

GUAM

GUUAM is an organization that opposes itself to regional associations with the participation of Russia. It was created with the active support of "external forces", in particular, the United States. Its members - Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan (withdrew in 2005), Azerbaijan and Moldova - declare their common strategic interests and coordinate their foreign policy activities. Coordinated speeches by representatives of the GUUAM countries in the UN and the OSCE are being practiced. GUAM is a military-political bloc created in October 1997 by the republics - Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova (from 1999 to 2005 Uzbekistan was also part of the organization). The name of the organization was formed from the first letters of the names of its member countries. Before Uzbekistan left the organization, it was called GUUAM.

Slide 14

Organization of the Collective Security Treaty

In-depth military-political cooperation between the CIS countries is developing within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty of May 15, 1992. At present Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan participate in it. The purpose of the DCS is to prevent and, if necessary, eliminate military threat sovereignty and territorial integrity of the participating States. Members of the CSTO: Republic of Armenia Republic of Belarus Republic of Kazakhstan Kyrgyz Republic Russian Federation Republic of Tajikistan Republic of Uzbekistan

Common Economic Space

In 2003, the heads of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine announced their intention to create a common economic space (SES of "four") with the prospect of establishing a Regional Integration Organization. The creation of the Common Economic Space is intended to coordinate efforts to bring the interested states of the Commonwealth closer together and represents a real chance to change the situation for the better. The pragmatic economic interest is obvious to all participating countries. The predominant part of Russian trade with the Commonwealth countries is trade with Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, Russia's main partners in the CIS. Indeed, these states and Russia account for 94% of GDP and 88% of the total trade turnover of the Commonwealth. The CES concept assumes that, in addition to a single space for the movement of goods, it is necessary to create a single space for the movement of capital, services and work force. Today, a fair number of barriers operate in this space, with each state showing a high degree sophistication, erecting them on absolutely legitimate grounds and protecting domestic business.

slide 16

Disintegrating factors

The factors hindering the integration of the post-Soviet republics, first of all, include the diversity of vectors and the varying degree of advancement of economic and political transformations in the Commonwealth countries. Day after day, in the course of reforms, the CIS states are losing similarities in their political and legal structures and economic policies, while accumulating new differences in parallel. The foreign trade turnover with non-CIS countries is increasing due to a decrease in the volume of exports and imports in the mutual trade of the Commonwealth member states. At the same time, the CIS is turning into a resource segment of the world market, in which competition between new independent states as exporters of raw materials. These qualitative characteristics of the economy of the post-Soviet states also do not contribute to the deepening of interaction. The disintegrating factors of a political nature include, first of all, authoritarian motives in the behavior of the leaders of states, insufficient activity in the direction of uniting the Commonwealth and increasing the effectiveness of its institutions, differences in approach to cooperation issues.

Slide 17


A situation is emerging in the CIS: an attempt to maintain a single economic space without united state or supranational structures, under conditions of systemic breakdown, turned out to be ineffective. The collapse of the USSR and the transformational recession caused powerful disintegration tendencies. Under these conditions, the implementation of the agreements, largely copied from the founding documents of the European Union, has been and remains impossible. Using the EU experience should not mean borrowing, but studying the main patterns of the integration process, forms of organizing interaction in order to develop an adequate development strategy that takes into account the specifics of the current state of the CIS countries.

Slide 18

Conclusion

The following principles should form the basis for the further development of the integration processes of the CIS countries: - full equality of rights for the CIS member states; - ensuring the guaranteed functioning of the sovereignty, political independence and national identity of each state; voluntary participation in integration processes; - reliance on own potential and internal national resources; - mutual benefit, mutual assistance and cooperation in the economy, which includes the freedom of movement of labor and capital, association national resources for the implementation of joint economic and scientific and technical programs that are beyond the strength of individual countries; - phased, multi-level and multi-speed nature of integration, the inadmissibility of its artificial formation; - availability of effective mechanisms for resolving disputes and contradictions. The need for the first thesis is beyond doubt - only under the condition of equality, openness and trust, effective integration is possible. As well as the requirement to preserve sovereignty, mutual benefit, self-orientation is logical and interdependent. Genuine integration is possible only on the basis of voluntariness, as objective conditions mature.
