The Concept of Cultural Influence in Modern World Politics

Author(s)
O. N. Monakhov, A. L. Pavlov
Abstract
The coverage of the factor of cultural international relations and the role of an instrument of foreign policy in modern conditions is revealed. It is indicated that changes in foreign policy achievements in the field of culture force participants in international relations to have their own options for studying cultural heritage in line with foreign policy. The aim is to analyze national approaches to building external cultural activities. The format of cultural diplomacy is considered as the main model of cooperation between cultures in international relations. The presence of studies of the relationship between culture and foreign policy in modern political science is stated, which lead to a discussion in considering the terms "foreign cultural policy" and "cultural diplomacy". The presence in the modern political discourse of studies of the relationship between foreign policy and culture is stated, which contributes to the discussion of the terms "cultural diplomacy" and "foreign cultural policy". It stands out that the cultural interaction of Russia with a number of countries is limited by the "cancellation of Russian culture" abroad and, as a result, leads to a decrease in Russian cultural influence. In conclusion, the need to update the priority areas of the State Cultural Policy Strategy for the period until 2030 is indicated, taking into account the current foreign policy situation. Within the framework of Russian cultural diplomacy, measures are proposed to counteract the practice of a “cancellation culture”. Materials of the periodical press are used, as well as special literature on the problem.
