Item Знаки часу у вченні Папи Івана ХХІІІ(Lviv Politechnic Publіshing House, 2016) Волинець, ОксанаПроаналізовано позицію Римського понтифіка Івана ХХІІІ у розпізнаванні і прочитанні “знаків часу” як світових подій та явищ, які становлять загрозу світовій безпеці і мирному співіснуванню міжнародної спільноти. У контексті відповіді на знаки часу, застосовуючи аналітичний, структурно-функціональний, системний методи та контент-аналіз, досліджуються, подані у працях Івана ХХІІІ рекомендації та механізми врегулювання міжнародних конфліктів та забезпечення миру і міжнародної безпеки. The article analyzes encyclicals of Pope of Rome John XXIII, which are dedicated to the issue of threats to international security and global peace. John XXIII investigated treatment of the concept of “signs of timе” and their interpretation in terms of the ColdWar and the Caribbean crisis. The main provisions of letters and encyclicals of John XXIII are analyzed, applying analytical, systematic, structural and functional methods and content analysis. As a result, their significant contribution to peace and security is revealed. The Pope provides characteric view on scientific and technological progress of mankind in all its positive and negative aspects, such as arms race, emergence of modern weapons of mass destruction, division of the world into parties and blocks, etc. Those characteristics were treated as unique signs of the time which requires immediate and adequate solution for the whole universal community, international organizations, each state itself, and the Church. Thus, the Pope John XXIII interprets all these negative trends of the modern world as amoral problemwhich destroys balance between politics andmorality. Further on, we investigate position of the Pope John XXIII concerning the need for renewal of the Church and its missionary activities in the context of social and political development. The Second Vatican Council, its Declarations, decrees and constitutions became the result of Pope’s aspirations. Those achievements have opened new opportunities for the Church within new social and political conditions of human society development. Special attention is given to the analysis of John XXIII’s encyclical “Peace on Earth”. It proposes methods, ways, and mechanisms to overcome international conflicts and rebuild the global security system. It is alleged that Pope John XXIII’s recommendations are still relevant today and international community can use them to achieve peace, universal order and ensure global security.Item Перспективи Східного партнерства в умовах геополітичних та безпекових змін cхідноєвропейського регіону(Lviv Politechnic Publіshing House, 2016) Турчин, ЯринаРозглянуто ініціативу “Східне партнерство” і доведено, що проблема її реформування набувала значної актуальності в умовах агресивної зовнішньої політики Російської Федерації, суперечностей всередині Європейського Союзу та відсутності тут уніфікованої позиції щодо вирішення нагальних політичних і безпекових проблем європейського регіону. За допомогою структурно-функціонального, системного та порівняльного методів визначено вразливі елементи у конструкції СП з урахуванням поточних геополітичних загроз. Вироблено пропозиції для реформування східної політики ЄС. The article dwells upon “Eastern Partnership” (EaP) initiativeand proves that the issue of its reforming has been acquiring considerable relevance under conditions of the aggressive foreign policy of the Russian Federation, contradictions within the European Union, and lack of a unified position on the solution of pressing political and security problems in the European region. The causes serving as prerequisites for the EU Eastern policy reformation are determined and are the following: the European Union has failed to develop a common strategy for relations with Eastern European countries; while implementing the foreign policy with Eastern direction, the EU has been unable to defend the sovereignty and integrity of the EaP recipients; European partners have not yet managed to transform the EaP countries into stable democracies with real democratic institutions. With the structural-functional, systematic and comparative methods applied, vulnerable elements in the EaP structure, given the current geopolitical threats, are identified. Based on analytical works, key priorities of the Eastern Partnership reformation are clarified, namely: strengthening differentiation between associative and non-associative members of the initiative according to the level of implementation of European reforms; securing the EU membership for those countries which have made the greatest progress in implementing European standards and practices; broader application of the “more for more” approach for the EaP participant countries; increased mobility of citizens as a priority of the Eastern Partnership; strengthening the initiative security component, particularly in the energy security sphere. Proposals for the EU Eastern policy development in the security sphere are made. It is concluded that the Eastern Partnership transformation into a new integration security model can take place only after a significant deepening of the differentiated approach to the EaP recipients in the program implementation, as well as when EU member-states become interested in such project changes.
