Foreign activities and diplomacy in the modern conditions of transparency information space

Abstract

At the end of XX – beginning of XXI century world community faced with a phenomenal global
nature of the phenomenon – the intensive computerization and informatization, which has received
by virtue of direct impact on the global political process on trade and economy, on domestic and foreign
policy, and many other areas. The Internet has become the main tool of the information space; he
quickly erased the concept of «time» and «boundary». In this context, «time» and «space» today need new treatment. It is safe to say, a global information space, which has become a reality that has no borders,
it is transparent, democratic, but at the same time is not safe for the conduct of international policy. The
foreign policy of any state uses today the most positive information support in its interests. At the same
time, diplomacy faces a new challenge in the form of unfriendly or competitive information, which is
aimed at weakening the position of a particular country. Today’s world and foreign policy form new
information fields that could withstand threats, would have more convincing positions, and would encompass
wider segments of consumers of this information. In the conditions of a transparent information
space, where a mass of information actors operate, any provocation is possible with a view to a possible
threat of destabilization of the statehood of the countries of Central Asia. The threat of penetration of
Islamic radicalism remains relevant for the region as a whole. The permanent source of the spread of
religious extremism in Central Asia is Afghanistan, where the main terrorist groups with interests in the
region such as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan are based. A negative trend in this context is information
that justifies the ideology of radicalism and terror on the part of the Islamic State, the dissemination
of its ideas in the countries of Central Asia.
