The article aims to present the phenomenon of "mercenarism" in the context of historical developments and to show how the essence of mercenarism and its perception has been changing since its emergence. The article specifically mentions that mercenary activities started in ancient times and have reached our days with certain transformations. For centuries, it served to solve specific problems and was considered not only a natural but often an honorable activity. The article discusses the specifics of mercenarism in different periods of history, changes in recruitment methods and the legality of mercenaries’ and employers’ actions. The research also examines the scope of international laws condemning the phenomenon of mercenarism and the need for their revision.
本文旨在将“雇佣军主义”现象置于历史发展的语境中呈现,并展示雇佣军主义的本质及其认知自出现以来的变化。这篇文章特别提到,雇佣军活动从古代就开始了,到今天已经发生了一些变化。几个世纪以来,它被用来解决具体问题,被认为不仅是一种自然的,而且往往是一种光荣的活动。本文论述了不同历史时期雇佣军行为的特点、招兵方式的变化以及雇佣军和雇主行为的合法性。这项研究还审查了谴责雇佣军现象的国际法的范围和修订这些法律的必要性。

The Bronze Age as the First World-System: Theses for aResearch Agenda 青铜时代作为第一世界体系:研究议程提纲
Q3 Engineering Pub Date : 2022-12-27 DOI: 10.56673/18294502-22.15-22
G. Derluguian
Bronze Age is traditionally viewed as historical period in the third and second millennia BCE. My key contention is that it is more meaningfully considered in geographic terms, as interconnected space of trade and cultural exchanges encompassing Afro-Eurasia but not Tropical Africa, let alone Australia and the Americas. The Bronze-age world-system extended from Scandinavia and British Isles to Egypt and Mesopotamia, from the Indus valley civilization and ancient Arabia to the Urals and western Siberia, possibly, also China and South-East Asia. Geologically, copper and tin as two metal components of bronze are randomly distributed on the planet which necessitated long-distance trade. In turn, the world trade in metals created whole cascades of logistical needs and opportunities. The consequences included the emergence of social complexity: chiefly powers, diplomacy, merchants, specialist coppersmiths and weapons-makers, professional warriors. New means of transportation emerged such as sailed ship and domesticated pack animals (donkey, camel, horse). The exchange in secondary products (wine, cloth, elaborate pottery) led to a revolution in conspicuous consumption. These theses are intended to generate a discussion about the earliest world-system, its morphology and flows. This may also extend to the comparative analysis of later world-systems known to us Antiquity, the Medieval ‘Silk Roads’, and modern capitalism.
青铜器时代传统上被认为是公元前三千年和二千年的历史时期。我的主要论点是,从地理角度来看,它更有意义,作为包括非洲-欧亚大陆但不包括热带非洲的相互联系的贸易和文化交流空间,更不用说澳大利亚和美洲了。青铜时代的世界体系从斯堪的纳维亚半岛和不列颠群岛延伸到埃及和美索不达米亚,从印度河流域文明和古阿拉伯延伸到乌拉尔和西伯利亚西部,也可能延伸到中国和东南亚。在地质上,铜和锡作为青铜的两种金属成分在地球上是随机分布的,这就需要进行长距离的贸易。反过来,世界金属贸易创造了大量的物流需求和机会。其结果包括社会复杂性的出现:主要是权力,外交,商人,专业铜匠和武器制造商,职业战士。新的交通工具出现了,如帆船和驯养的驮畜(驴、骆驼、马)。二次产品(酒、布料、精致的陶器)的交换引发了炫耀性消费的革命。这些论文的目的是产生一个关于最早的世界体系,它的形态和流动的讨论。这也可以扩展到对我们所知的古代、中世纪的“丝绸之路”和现代资本主义的后期世界体系的比较分析。

Russian Foreign Policy Dynamics in the South Caucasus. Continuity and Existing Problems 俄罗斯在南高加索的外交政策动态。连续性及存在的问题

History helps us to create a wider picture of the reality in which the South Caucasus exists now. That is why we are going to discover the influence of the Russian Imperial and Soviet eras on the states in the region and identify the causality of foreign policy relations between Russia and the South Caucasian states. The main question is why neither Russia nor any of the individual South Caucasian states succeeded in developing an effective strategy towards each other despite their shared borders in the Russia-Azerbaijan and Russia-Georgia cases and being a proclaimed strategic partner in the case of Armenia? How did the Soviet period influence the current state of relations between Russia and the South Caucasian states? Those are the issues analyzed in this paper. International relations in the South Caucasus are convoluted because of their rich and complicated past, among other things. Over the centuries, interstate relations inside the region developed in unpredictable directions. Georgia was a real partner for Russia in the conquest of the Caucasus in the 19th century. Yet, since 1991, relations between Russia and Georgia have been tense at best. The proclaimed secular states of Azerbaijan, though mainly Shia, and Turkey, which is mostly Sunni, are now solid allies, whereas Armenia enjoys a relationship of trust with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Turkey, Iran, and Russia are still the main external players in the region though they have, to some extent, even become “domesticated”. Except for a brief period of turmoil during the Bolshevik Revolution and the ensuing Russian Civil War, the entire Caucasus remained within the Russian sphere of influence until the collapse of the Soviet Union. Even now Russia continues to play a significant role in economy, energy and security policy in the South Caucasus.
历史帮助我们对南高加索目前存在的现实有了更广泛的了解。这就是为什么我们要发现俄罗斯帝国和苏联时代对该地区国家的影响,并确定俄罗斯与南高加索国家之间外交政策关系的因果关系。主要的问题是,尽管俄罗斯与阿塞拜疆、俄罗斯与格鲁吉亚的边界是共同的,而且在亚美尼亚的问题上也宣称是战略伙伴,但为什么俄罗斯和任何一个南高加索国家都没有成功地制定出有效的相互战略?苏联时期是如何影响俄罗斯与南高加索国家关系的现状的?这些都是本文分析的问题。南高加索地区的国际关系因其丰富而复杂的过去而变得错综复杂。几个世纪以来,该地区的州际关系朝着不可预测的方向发展。格鲁吉亚是俄罗斯在19世纪征服高加索地区的真正伙伴。然而,自1991年以来,俄罗斯和格鲁吉亚的关系充其量只是紧张。自称为世俗国家的阿塞拜疆,虽然主要是什叶派,和土耳其,主要是逊尼派,现在是坚实的盟友,而亚美尼亚与伊朗伊斯兰共和国享有信任关系。土耳其、伊朗和俄罗斯仍然是该地区主要的外部参与者,尽管它们在某种程度上甚至被“驯化”了。除了布尔什维克革命和随后的俄罗斯内战期间的短暂动荡之外,整个高加索地区一直在俄罗斯的势力范围内,直到苏联解体。直到现在,俄罗斯仍在南高加索地区的经济、能源和安全政策方面发挥着重要作用。

U.S. Foreign Policy under President Trump: The Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea Regions 特朗普总统领导下的美国外交政策:中东、东地中海和黑海地区

The current phase in international relations can be best characterized by one word – transition. The Post-Cold War order is rapidly disappearing, creating strategic ambiguity for all actors. The U.S. hegemony is over or close to over despite the fact that militarily Washington will be safely far out of reach for several decades to come. However, the growing national debt, the looming crisis in the Social Security and Medicare systems, uncontrolled migration, growing populism and partisan fighting does not bode well for the future of U.S. dominance. At the same time, no nation, be it China, Russia, India or Brazil, has the necessary resources or will to compete for the new world hegemony. The absence of a world hegemon means that no state has the power to enforce the implementation of key international rules and norms. Regardless how one perceives the international principles – as balanced or biased – the rule-based order at least provides a minimal level of stability since the actors involved on the international stage have a clear understanding what may and may not be done. However, since the late 2000s the situation has changed. We are increasingly facing an international security architecture where key actors may easily break the norms and rules, and this will eventually bring us to a situation upon which no rules can be based. The election of President Trump sent shock waves through the United States’ political establishment and surprised international relations pundits worldwide. Despite the apparent growth of the right-wing populist movements in different parts of the world, the culmination of which was presumably the BREXIT referendum held in June 2016, few if any could imagine that a real estate developer and reality TV star had any chance of defeating one of the most respected representatives of the US political establishment. The November 2016 elections had widespread implications on both American domestic and foreign policies. President Trump’s decision to denounce globalism created a situation where the so-called “vertical globalism” (Western-led efforts to spread a liberal international order all over the world through the promotion of democracy and a market economy) might be transformed into a “horizontal globalism” based on regional integration models covering vast territories of Europe and Asia, Africa and Latin America. In this paper we will analyze President Trump’s foreign policy in several key geographical areas and its implications. However, in order to better understand the significant changes in U.S. foreign policy ushered in by President Trump and make predictions for future developments, it is worth starting with an examination of Trump’s foreign policy perceptions as well as of the ongoing debates within the foreign policy establishment itself.
当前的国际关系阶段可以用一个词来最好地描述——过渡。冷战后的秩序正在迅速消失,给所有参与者带来了战略模糊性。美国的霸权已经结束或接近结束,尽管在未来几十年里,华盛顿的军事安全将远远超出美国的控制范围。然而,不断增长的国家债务、迫在眉睫的社会保障和医疗保险体系危机、不受控制的移民、日益增长的民粹主义和党派之争,都不是美国未来主导地位的好兆头。与此同时,无论是中国、俄罗斯、印度还是巴西,没有一个国家有必要的资源或意愿来争夺新的世界霸权。世界霸权的缺失意味着没有一个国家有能力强制执行关键的国际规则和规范。无论人们如何看待国际原则- -是平衡的还是有偏见的- -基于规则的秩序至少提供了最低程度的稳定,因为国际舞台上的有关行动者清楚地了解什么可以做,什么不可以做。然而,自2000年代末以来,情况发生了变化。我们面临的国际安全架构越来越多,关键行为体很容易破坏准则和规则,最终将导致没有规则可依的局面。特朗普当选美国总统,震惊了美国政治建制派,也震惊了世界各国的国际关系专家。尽管右翼民粹主义运动在世界各地明显增长,其高潮可能是2016年6月举行的英国退欧公投,但很少有人能想象,一个房地产开发商和真人秀明星有机会击败美国政治体制中最受尊敬的代表之一。2016年11月的选举对美国的国内和外交政策都产生了广泛的影响。特朗普总统谴责全球主义的决定,可能会导致所谓的“垂直全球主义”(以西方为主导,通过促进民主主义和市场经济,在全世界传播自由主义国际秩序的努力)转变为以覆盖欧亚、非洲、拉丁美洲广大地区的区域一体化模式为基础的“水平全球主义”。在本文中,我们将分析特朗普总统在几个关键地理区域的外交政策及其影响。然而,为了更好地理解特朗普总统带来的美国外交政策的重大变化,并对未来的发展做出预测,有必要先研究一下特朗普的外交政策观念,以及外交政策机构内部正在进行的辩论。

Conflicts Of Interest over the Libyan Crisis and Its Impact on the National Security of Armenia 利比亚危机的利益冲突及其对亚美尼亚国家安全的影响

The Arab Spring, a chain of anti-government protests and uprisings, had major implications throughout the Middle East region and it particularly affected oil-rich countries, including Libya. Libya is the largest holder of proven oil reserves in Africa (48 billion barrels). Before 2011, Libya’s oil production averaged about 1.64 million barrels per day, about 96% of the government’s revenue, which accounted for 60-65% of the country’s GDP. During the reign of Muammar Gaddafi, Libya’s oil industry was run by the state-owned National Oil Corporation (NOC), which was responsible for implementing Exploration and Production Sharing Agreements (EPSA) with international oil companies (IOCs). Among these international oil companies were ENI (Italy), Total (France), Repsol (Spain), OMV (Austria) and Equinor (Norway). Colonel Muammar Qaddafi was not considered to be a reliable partner for the above-mentioned international oil companies. He used to demand tough contract terms, frequently raised fees and taxes and made other restrictions. This policy was in stark contrast with the interests of foreign actors, especially a number of Mediterranean European states, which led to their active participation in Libyan politics with the desire to gain a greater share of oil production and increase their influence in Africa. The main struggle over Libya is for control over oil resources which are highly necessary for a number of external actors in order to ensure the dynamic development of their economies and strengthen their geopolitical position but which are also needed by regional actors to ensure their own security. From the point of view of global governance, each actor in this conflict is trying to implement its global agenda by having political control and a military presence in Libya. The main aim of this study is to analyze the conflict of interests between local, regional and international actors over the Libyan issue, which, undoubtedly, affects the policy of these forces towards our region, and to understand how these developments in a country “far from” Armenia can influence the Republic of Armenia’s national security and foreign policies.
阿拉伯之春是一系列反政府抗议和起义,对整个中东地区产生了重大影响,尤其是对包括利比亚在内的石油资源丰富的国家。利比亚是非洲已探明石油储量最大的国家(480亿桶)。2011年之前,利比亚的平均石油日产量约为164万桶,约占政府收入的96%,而政府收入占该国GDP的60-65%。在穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲统治期间,利比亚的石油工业由国有的国家石油公司(NOC)运营,该公司负责与国际石油公司(ioc)实施勘探和生产共享协议(EPSA)。这些国际石油公司包括ENI(意大利)、Total(法国)、Repsol(西班牙)、OMV(奥地利)和Equinor(挪威)。穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲上校被认为不是上述国际石油公司的可靠伙伴。他过去常常要求苛刻的合同条款,经常提高费用和税收,并施加其他限制。这一政策与外国行为体,特别是一些地中海欧洲国家的利益形成鲜明对比,后者导致它们积极参与利比亚政治,希望在石油生产中获得更大份额,并增加它们在非洲的影响力。围绕利比亚的主要斗争是为了控制石油资源,这对许多外部行为体来说是非常必要的,以确保其经济的动态发展和加强其地缘政治地位,但这也是区域行为体确保其自身安全所需要的。从全球治理的角度来看,这场冲突中的每个参与者都试图通过在利比亚拥有政治控制和军事存在来实施其全球议程。本研究的主要目的是分析地方、区域和国际行为体在利比亚问题上的利益冲突,这无疑会影响这些力量对我们地区的政策,并了解在一个“远离”亚美尼亚的国家的这些事态发展如何影响亚美尼亚共和国的国家安全和外交政策。

Libya is the largest holder of proven oil reserves in Africa (48 billion barrels). Before 2011, Libya’s oil production averaged about 1.64 million barrels per day, about 96% of the government’s revenue, which accounted for 60-65% of the country’s GDP. During the reign of Muammar Gaddafi, Libya’s oil industry was run by the state-owned National Oil Corporation (NOC), which was responsible for implementing Exploration and Production Sharing Agreements (EPSA) with international oil companies (IOCs). Among these international oil companies were ENI (Italy), Total (France), Repsol (Spain), OMV (Austria) and Equinor (Norway). Colonel Muammar Qaddafi was not considered to be a reliable partner for the above-mentioned international oil companies.
