However, after the outbreak of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine in 2022, sanctions took on an avalanche-like nature, posing a serious threat to the development of the Russian energy sector. This forced Russia to reorient its export flows of hydrocarbons, especially natural gas. Sanctions in the energy sector had a significant impact not only on Russia’s energy industry but also on the global market for energy resources. They led to a reconsideration of the trading strategy for energy resources between Russia and China. This article highlights and characterizes the challenges posed by anti-Russian sanctions to the cooperation between Rus-sia and China in the supply of Russian gas after the start of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine in Feb-ruary 2022.","PeriodicalId":507515,"journal":{"name":"Общество: политика, экономика, право","volume":"24 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140444560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such interrelation has a positive impact on the spatial development of the territory, since the sus-tainability of regional economic development is ensured if it is linked to the strategy of the region. The prob-lematic issue of the investment policy in strategic planning in the context of the spatial aspect is due to the fact that it is often represented by various unrelated documents of territorial and strategic planning, or the invest-ment component is considered in development strategies from the position of investment in fixed capital, while rejecting other sources of investment. Strategies of socio-economic and spatial development, along with values and priorities, define goals, objectives, targets and standards of life support. However, without a competently built investment policy it is difficult to realize the given directions in the strategies.","PeriodicalId":507515,"journal":{"name":"Общество: политика, экономика, право","volume":"79 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140444473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article offers a structured overview of the various mechanisms for achieving ethnopo-litical consensus in Sudan, and analyzes the prospects for achieving ethnopolitical consensus in Sudan in light of recent political developments. The article created a table showing the political perspectives of ethno-political conflict management in Sudan – a cross-regional analysis. Given the specificity of Sudanese ethno-political conflict, the strategy for consensus building in Sudan should include inclusive dialog and negotiation among different ethnic and political groups, reconciliation and military, political, governance and legal reform. Howev-er, despite the fact that the demands for social justice and regional equality are put forward by the majority of the opposing sides, the conditions for their fulfillment, determined by specific social groups, differ significantly. Therefore, the author concludes that the prospects for achieving ethno-political consensus in Sudan remain uncertain, but recent political developments give grounds for optimism.","PeriodicalId":507515,"journal":{"name":"Общество: политика, экономика, право","volume":"15 48","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140443021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Concept of Existential Democracy and Its Scientific, Philosophical Justification","authors":"A.

Study consists of two parts. In the first part presented here are provided political scientific, sociological, as well as psychological and religious-philosophical justifications of existential democracy. One of the main innovations of existential democracy is a departure from only the pragmatic, utilitarian-functional understanding of democ-racy, directed at satisfying material needs alone and electing for this purpose an elite that satisfies these needs – a functioning state administration. Existential democracy addresses the goal of spiritual devel-opment and the achievement of the spiritual good of man – a goal that was originally postulated for the political process by Aristotle in “Politics”. This turns democracy to the problem of the development of the personality, the revelation of its true human, free and creative “I”, and not the “ego” embedded into the system. This corre-sponds to the interpretation of human not as just a bio-systemic organism, but as a spiritual transcendental be-ing striving for the meaning of his life, according to the humanistic psychology of Frankl, Fromm and others. These provisions seem especially actual now, during the advent of the postmodern era, consumer society and cybernetic regulation of human life.","PeriodicalId":507515,"journal":{"name":"Общество: политика, экономика, право","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140444870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
