This article shows that inter-ethnic relations create consequences in strengthening the ethno-cultural heterogeneity of society, in ethnic enclavization, in the growth of inter-ethnic tension, demonstrated in various conflicts. The authors show that the apparent reason for refusal from the inter-ethnic relations management is the negation of inter-ethnic tension, more preciselyits transference into the discourse of cultural differences. Evaluating the ethnic conflict atmosphere in Russian society, as well as identifying ways to optimize the ethnic relations, requires no recognition of the Russian ethnic practices specialness. It is important to understand the comparability of Germany and the
The article analyzes paradigmatic fundamentals of national security studies and shows that methodologically these fundamentals are unilateral and do not allow to consider the national security as a holistic phenomenon. The authors argue that the development of the multi-dimensional methodological constructs of national security studies within the neoclassical model of research is a prerequisite for overcoming the methodological unilateralism of the "paradigm of interests" and the "paradigm of values". This model for studying the national security is based on the synthetic use of the methodological capacity of various paradigmatic fundamentals of its research, supplemented with heuristic capabilities of the "soft power" theory, which is considered to induce others to do what is required by the government, without direct violence. In the context of globalization, "soft power" is an important tool for protecting the national security.
The article defines ethnoinstitutional factors in migration and interethnic relations. Ethnic institutions (ethnoinstituions) are regarded as stable complexes of individual and collective behavioral norms and motivations, mediated by ethnic culture and identity. The article shows that the conflict potential of migration is primarily associated with incompatibility of host and arriving population ethnoinstitutions. It is necessary to develop transmitting institutions to reduce the conflict potential of interethnic relations. Such institutions should be able to "translate" ethnoinstitutional requirements of the host community in the form which will motivate migrants to accept the local rules and behavior patterns.
