Ecological tourism is one of the current trends in development of Arctic. There are several reasons for this: popularity of ecological tourism among modern travelers in general and competitiveness of Arctic travel in a unique and diverse nature; profitability of ecological entrepreneurship; environmental, socio-economic and educational importance of ecological tourism for sustainable development of Arctic. Accordingly, the legal regulation of ecological tourism in Arctic should serve the purpose of ensuring preservation of human capital, protection and reproduction of natural complex of Arctic, efficient use of material, financial and human resources based on modern achievements in the field of ecology and tourism technologies.

It is important to consider possible impact of nature protection tourism on lifestyle of people living in Arctic. Indigenous people should have the right to preserve traditional way of life and, at the same time, opportunity to develop modern forms of self-organization, self-regulation.

In the article, the authors examine the theoretical implications of the dialogue of the civilizations' concept. Particular attention is being paid to the ways to solve the conflicts between civilizations, causing social tensions and political instability. The article analyzes the famous American concept of S. Huntington "The Clash of Civilizations". This concept is summed up throughout the 20 th century, the century of the two World Wars and the Cold War, of the geopolitical and military methods in world politics.The concept of "civilization" does not figure in any of the theories of international relationsneither positivistic nor postpositive. It is not a state, not a political regime, not a class, not a network, not a community, not an individual or a group of individuals. Civilization is a community united by the participation in the same spiritual, historical, cultural, mental and symbolic tradition (most often religious in its roots, although not necessarily realized in terms of a particular religion), whose members realize their closeness to each other, regardless of national, social, political or ideological affiliation.The authors suggest that the "dialogue of civilizations" paradigm should replace the "clash of civilizations" paradigm and become the foundation of a multipolar world. In conclusion, it is noted that the interreligious Joint Russian-Iranian Commission for Orthodoxy-Islam Dialogue is a unique platform where representatives of various faiths and civilizations discuss international issues in order to develop a common approach for any given problem.
