Discussion of Palestinian-Israeli Conflict in British Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee (2014)

The authors analyze the debates on the problem of the Middle East settlement in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the British Parliament, which took place in connection with the start of the American peace initiative in 2013-14. A general description of the discussion of the Middle East issues at committee meetings during the government cadence of D. Cameron (2010-2016) is given. Particular attention is paid to the positions of the parties to the conflict, stated at the meeting by the diplomats of Israel and Palestine. The key issues of the Palestinian-Israeli confrontation are considered: issues of permanent status (borders, refugees, Israeli settlements, the status of Jerusalem) and security issues discussed at the negotiations held under the auspices of John Kerry. It is proved that the positions of the conflicting parties remained irreconcilable. It is noted that at this historical stage, none of the leading powers of the world had sufficient influence for an effective and successful settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time the documents of the British Parliament were introduced into scientific circulation in order to analyze the prospects for a Middle East settlement. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict remains a source of tension in the Middle East, continuing to influence the situation in the region and the policies of the leading world powers

Universal values in contemporary foreign policy: Russian perspectives

© Serials Publications. This paper is devoted to one of the topical issues of the current Russian political science in the light of ongoing global changes taking place in Russia as well as in the whole world. The authors of the study make an attempt to examine Russia's changing foreign policy outlook by analyzing the values and their role in understanding contemporary Russian foreign policy. There are still open debates that Russia has a lot of problems building a strategic partnership and alliances with both the CIS countries and other foreign states and International Institutions. The emphasis of the study is particularly made on Russia's view on the role of values in foreign policy. In the course of the study the authors conclude that the lack of strong links between universal values and foreign policy is the reason for inconsistency of Russian foreign policy and problems existing between Moscow and its partners. If a state seeks to gain power and influence in the world arena, it should have such a model of development that will draw other countries to build any kind cooperation with it
