Looking towards Russia’s G8 presidency in 2014
P. 238–239.
Approaching its second G8 presidency, Russia is in a unique position, as it holds the chair of the G20 for 2013, the G8 in 2014 and the BRICS grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa in 2015. The sequence of three presidencies presents a rare opportunity for coordination, reinforcement and division of labour in setting the agenda and defining presidency priorities across the three forums. Of key concern for 2014 are the principles that might guide the G8 presidency preparation, namely the priorities Russia will be able to put forward and its outreach strategy.

However, if markets and civil society are included in the definition of the state, this will be an ideological justification for their absorption by the state.

Она реализуется по самым разным каналам: просвещение и информирование потребителей, организация ...
