The article considers the methodology of cartographic study of geopolitical risks in the border region of the Black Sea region—Crimea. Geopolitical risks are presented as one of the options for potential constraints on the sustainable development of Crimea. Geopolitical risk refers to the situation of uncertainty that arises in the region in the process of changing its political subjectivity. The program of a cartographic study of geopolitical risks in the region was proposed. It includes stages of exploration and mapping long-term dynamics of their manifestation in the region; identification of cause-and-effect relationships and mutual conditionality of factors of occurrence of geopolitical risks; forecast of socio-economic development and geopolitical risks in Crimea for the near and distant future; justification of the strategy of socio-cultural development of the Crimean region and preventive actions in the system of management of geopolitical situations. The results of the first stage of the study of geopolitical risks in Crimea are presented. A map of the dynamics of ethnic and confessional contradictions in Crimea in the period 1990–2015 is developed. An understanding of the contradiction as a stage of pre-conflict with the potential for peaceful resolution, but not overcome in content, is proposed. The localization of ethnic and confessional contradictions in the Crimea is analyzed. The regions and spatial foci of their concentration are determined. The emergence of ethnic and confessional contradictions in regions with increased ethnic mosaic is proved. A map of the geopolitical risks in Crimea that emerged after 2014 has been developed. The transformation of the types of geopolitical risks in Crimea is analyzed. It is noted that the possibility of the emergence of ethnopolitical contradictions and their addition to the risks of information manipulation of information about the region in the media, as well as the emergence of risks of terrorist activities on the territory of Crimea. The conclusion is made about the spatial asymmetry of the localization of geopolitical risks in Crimea. A significant part of the geopolitical risks is localized in those regions of the peninsula that concentrate the economic and informational attractiveness.
Research problem and degree of the research: Today, conflicts take place in all organizations. Current realities do not allow enterprises to exist in a comfort zone without internal obstacles; otherwise, an institution simply will not survive. This article is based on both the positive meaning of conflict and on an analysis of the negative aspects of conflict, specifically regarding modern technologies which allow resolving conflict contradictions in some cases or to avoid it completely in others, for example, when there are rudiments of their maturation. Purpose of the article: to analyze modern technologies for resolving conflicts in an organization. Subject of the article: Modern technologies for conflict resolution. There are quite a few types of intra-organizational conflicts, but we will focus on the contradictions that arise in teams. The article analyzes the technologies of conflict resolution in two projections: in resolving a conflict that has already arisen and in its prevention. Research methods: The following research methods were used: ⎯ theoretical analysis of scientific sources; ⎯ analysis of foreign conflict resolution techniques. Modern conflict resolution technologies are focused on the constructive participation of all parties to the conflict. At the same time, the managers’ actions play a certain role, as they are endowed with exclusive functions for managing conflicts within their department and they are personally responsible for the situation in the team. Of course, it is necessary to apply preventive methods to prevent contradictions. If nevertheless the conflict emerged for various reasons: either the contradiction was implicit, or this issue was not given due attention, it is necessary to be guided by slightly different methods. In any case, the resolution of intra-organizational conflicts in a team should be focused on the psychological aspect of employees. It is necessary to work with each employee, paying attention to his or her needs and interests. Conclusion. This article examined the main modern methods for preventing and resolving conflicts, used in many organizations. The theoretical aspects of intra-organizational conflicts, including the cause of the conflict, its’ structure and typology were considered. The article was also focused on the typical managers’ mistakes when resolving conflicts. Key words: corporate conflict, resolution technologies, managerial impact, mediation.
The article deals with the essence of socio-cultural boundaries in a multiethnic region. Socio-cultural boundaries are presented by the authors as a marker of the mental unique character of the territory for those who live within it, and a likely source of interethnic tensions. In the conditions of the multiethnic region of Crimea, the probability of the existence of socio-cultural boundaries coincides with the nature of its administrative-territorial structure that arose after 2014. On the territory of the Crimean Peninsula, there appeared two subjects of administrative and territorial administration of the Russian Federation: the Republic of Crimea and the Federal city of Sevastopol. Similar bicentric division of Crimea existed during the period of the Ukrainian administrative-territorial ownership of the Peninsula, only the administrative-territorial subjects were called respectively the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Republican subordination Sevastopol. Geographically, both subjects have a common border, which runs through the territories of the Bakhchisarai municipal district of the Republic of Crimea, as well as the lands belonging to the Federal city of Sevastopol. The paper considers the possibility that the residents of the border territories of both subjects of the administrative-territorial structure of Crimea have mental differences in the awareness that they belong to different worlds: the urban one with a special political and geographical status in the case of Sevastopol and the rural — within one of the agrarian municipal territories of the Republic of Crimea. Does the artificially divided mentality mean that the inhabitants of the geographically united Crimean Peninsula have different ways of life, value orientations, and migration mobility? The proof of the existence of mental socio-cultural boundaries has been presented by the authors on the basis of a survey of rural residents living in 12 border villages of the Sevastopol region and the Bakhchisarai municipal district of the Republic of Crimea. The original maps of the results of the survey of rural residents within the Crimean administrative border have been constructed. The cartographic markers to define the values of residents of the border villages have been determined, which allows to establish the degree of manifestation of the socio-cultural boundaries between Sevastopol and the Republic of Crimea.
