Potential Public Confidence in Political Structures in the Present-Day World

Functioning of political systems is increasingly characterized by the changing dynamics of confidence in the present-day subjects and structures of the political process. Therefore, the issues of discovering the nature of the public attitude towards government institutions and political structures appear on the agenda. Special emphasis is given to the legal status and the rules of international cooperation.

Main Vectors of Discussion:

• National elite and social representation: role and functions related to the formation of social conscience;
• Legal status of international organizations in the post-crisis world;
• Delegation of sovereignty in the present world.
