Controling and governance of audiovisual media services in Poland
Authors: Zvozdetska Oksana 
Published: December 2018

The paper attempts to outline the Polish National Broadcasting Council’s establishing and evaluating its activities. The author observes that after 1989, one of the most essential achievements of the Polish media market was the creation of the National Broadcasting Council (Krajowa Rada Radiofonii i Telewizji KRRiT), that laid the foundations for a new media landscape in Poland. In a broader perspective, despite being criticized, the National Broadcasting Council is to meet high expectations for the electronic media regulation, its impact on state policy in implementing cultural and educational tasks by the Polish community broadcasters. Concurrently, making mistakes and handling criticism was partly caused by the Council politicization bias, a large executive subordination that doesn’t comply both with the Law “On Television and Radio Broadcasting” and European practice. Notable, the success of community broadcasters, who value interaction with viewers and listeners, should be a model for audiovisual sector to emulate.

Liberal Pluralism and Multiculturalism in Central and Eastern Europe (W. Kymlicka Views’ Analysis)
Authors: Kozachuk Oleh 
Published: December 2018

Will Kymlicka is widely known in the world for the research in the field of the theoretical principles of liberal pluralism and justification of the policy of multiculturalism. In his scientific work, he pays attention not onlyto his native Canada but also draws attention to other regions of the world, including Central and Eastern Europe. The scientist asks whether the export of Western model of liberal pluralism and multiculturalism policies available in the region? Are Western models of multiculturalism and minority rights relevant for the post-Communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe? In the following article, we analyze Will Kymlicka’s views on this issue. Kymlicka explains why conventional ways of distinguishing between ethnic relations in the East and West do not help in understanding or responding to ethnic conflicts in the post-Communist world. He argues why the states of Central and Eastern Europe are not inherent in the territorial autonomy in their state building. He also argues why federalism as a form of government is not the solution of interethnic interaction’s problems. In addition, Will Kymlicka tries to highlight the unique characteristics of the region, which do not suggest the possibility of the introduction of liberal pluralism and multiculturalism in Central and Eastern Europe in the near future.

Authors: Melnychuk Ihor 
Published: December 2018

Nowadays RF have a lot of obstacles. The intense process of globalization, the rapid development of information technology, development of a new instruments of geo-cultural and ideological influence not only lead to problems in the way of expansion of the Russian world, but also to the need to enhance the security of the current geo-cultural space of Russian Federation and design its system concept.
The author notes that the new internal doctrine of RF is penetrated by a nostalgia for a powerful state status. Its main task is to strengthen the unity of society by strengthening civic identity. Therefore we do not underestimate the practical importance of theoretical developments in cultural, ideological and informational spheres.
The ideology which promoted by Russian state media includes the concept of «russkiy mir» that actually justify claims to territories which are inhabited by ethnic Russians. This idea appeals to the Orthodox fundamentalism, as well as the Eurasian geopolitical and historical myths of permanent confrontation between Russia and the West. The main reason for the success of ideological propaganda – in a primitive but effective substitution of concepts.
In conclusion the author stresses that the process of forming a single geo-cultural world of the Russian Federation does not impose functional and effective integration ideology and current Russian civilization and socio-cultural projects are not attractive and competitive position to societies and elites of neighbor states but can be used to consolidate the political situation inside Russia.

Migration Processes in the EU as an Imperative of Cosmopolitanism in the Theory of the Second Modern E. Giddens
Authors: Mykhailytsia Kateryna 
Published: December 2018

The article analyzes migration processes in the European Union as an imperative of cosmopolitanism in the theory of the Second Modern by E. Giddens. It is established that when assessing migration processes in the context of the crisis of the policy of European multiculturalism, the scientist, as a representative of the theory of the Second Modern, proves that they coincided with deeper transformations in the system of political relations and political communication. A system of Giddens's arguments has been defined in favor of the thesis that migration in European societies of the Second Modern is not so much a local or regional issue as a result and a means of globalization. An important element in the theory of the Second Modern E. Giddens is the characterization of migration through the reference to the concept of “diaspora”, which exist today in the form of not only physical but also virtual communities, which are often characterized by a higher degree of self-awareness than before. E. Giddens argues that the European rethinking of the essence of migration processes occurs in the context of the crisis of the paradigm of multiculturalism. In the societies of the Second Modern, the political risks caused by the system of migration - globalization, arise when individual groups of society are treated as “isolated and another’s” or when they refer to themselves as such.

Refugees, as a challenge to the modern migration policy of the European Union
Authors: Vatamanyuk Anastasiya 
Published: December 2018

The article presents migration policy of the European Union and its evolution under the influence of modern challenges, including the problem of Refugee.In the context of recent events, the problem with the number of refugees in the world is becoming more and more urgent. Due to the instability and the state of war, the policy of regulation and management of migration flows has deteriorated and complicated in general. This explains why the issue of solving the problem of refugees and illegal migrants is on the agenda in Europe today. To stop the huge flow of refugees can be possible only by applying the radical changes of the situation in the problem countries, such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, by not only fighting against migration, but also implementing appropriate administration.
The increase in the number of terrorist attacks, the social tension among the citizens of the recipient countries, the aggressive refugees’ attacks on peaceful citizens, the criminal action against the police and other executive branches, the mass riots in the developed, democratic countries lead to some correction of the European migration policy. The increased number of refugees in the last 5 years forces the European community not only to help and support the victims, but also to introduce stricter measures to protect their own borders, citizens and political stability.

Horizontal Management at Russian University: Current Trend or Urgent Need?
Authors: Butsyk S. V. 
Published: December 2018

The article addresses an actual problem of using horizontal methods in university management in Russia. Two organizational processes are analyzed, which are relatively new for Russian universities, which came, in many respects, from the Western education system: postgraduate training (Master’s programs) and training of foreign citizens in the preparatory departments (programs in Russian). These two processes, in the opinion of the author, over the past few years could become a platform for approbation of new modern approaches to management in Russian universities and institutes. The sample study included three federal universities located in one of the regions of Russia (classical university, university for humanities and pedagogy, and institute of culture and arts). It is shown that large educational organizations, as a rule, try to integrate new processes in the traditional (vertical) management structure. The basic prerequisites for implementing horizontal ma- nagement in the institutes of culture, were mainly economic, not organizational or innovative. At the same time, the practical experience of using mixed (horizontal-vertical) management structures in the Chelyabinsk State Institute of Culture and Arts showed positive results both in terms of economic and educational-organizational indicators.
