CIS countries gained independence in the early 1990s. Prior to this, they were republics within the Soviet Union, on the territory of which the Unified Energy System functioned. After the collapse of the USSR, each country in the post-Soviet space was forced to independently solve the problems of supplying its economy with energy. They will build relations with their neighbors in a new way, including in the energy sector. This article presents an analysis of the situation in alternative energy of the EEU member countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan). At the same time, Russia and Kazakhstan have their own energy resources and even export surplus hydrocarbons. Therefore, they are less concerned about the development of alternative energy. At the same time, Belarus and Armenia are forced to import energy resources. And in the energy sector of Kyrgyzstan, the production of electricity at hydroelectric power plants predominates. Therefore, these states, which are experiencing a shortage of energy resources, are interested in the development of alternative energy. But these states have difficulties financing alternative energy. In general, a situation has developed in the post-Soviet space when foreign investors are actively investing in alternative energy. All projects are aimed at reducing dependence on energy supplies from Russia. At the same time, Russia practically does not take part in investment projects to develop alternative energy for neighboring countries. The article analyzes the mechanisms for implementing investment projects in alternative energy using the EEU countries as an example.
В предыдущем номере журнала мы подробно рассмотрели «образ» науки, который сложился у россиян в начале XхI века. При этом были представлены весьма противо-речивые мнения самых широких слоев населения: о необходимости государственной поддержки науки; о приоритетных направлениях исследований (развитие экономи-ки, совершенствование медицины и образования, экология и укрепление обороно-способности страны); о незаслуженно низком престиже труда ученых по сравнению с другими профессиями, но в то же время о позитивных установках на научную ка-рьеру собственных детей; о вялости инновационного поведения и негативном влия-нии на него средств массовой информации. Выделены четыре обобщающие ориен-тации -«патернализм», «вера в науку», «техницизм» и «синдром разваливающейся науки». Следует отметить, что ориентация «вера в науку» проявляется в виде силь-ных сциентистских позиций и надежды на нее в инструментальном плане, но она не подкреплена личным познавательным интересом, что мы и попытаемся проиллю-стрировать в настоящей публикации.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
