THE PROBLEM OF NETWORK INTERACTION IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Nowadays the global order, which continues to transform under globalization and integration, begins to create its own structure. The main role in international relations (or IR) is still played by nation-states, but other roles are played by different actors. Relations between all these actors can be defined as network interaction - a ramified system of links, where occur contacts, exchange, conflicts and cooperation. The network interaction is based on values and interests. The interest is connected with having a «power» - a number of means and security conditions, which make it possible to react to challenges and threats. From the other side, each value is connected with category of Good, the absolute value, and also with some close principles and submissions. In this way, foreign policy should be founded on the compromise between values and interests. Contemporary system of IR is polycentric, so traditional diplomacy is being changed by the network diplomacy. Thereby research of the values will have special significance, because it will take basic values of international actors as a certain constant, which will help to define directions of the IR development.
