Systemwide Impact of International Relations Actors on the Cognitive Space as a Factor of Power in World Politics

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the influence of international actors on the cognitive space and its significance as a strategic resource in the global political system. It examines the current state of the international environment, characterized by a high degree of conflict potential, which highlights the need for a detailed study of key issues requiring in-depth theoretical and empirical analysis. The focus is on the structure and systematic nature of influence on the cognitive sphere, as well as its potential to become a significant factor in geopolitical power. Institutions focused on long-term development include a wide range of organizations, including universities, educational institutions, specialized language and culture institutes. These institutions not only carry out educational functions but also play a crucial role in shaping society’s intellectual capital and cultural identity. The study focuses on the phenomenon of hybrid influence on cognitive space, illustrating the multifaceted nature and complexity of modern influence strategies. Current trends and mechanisms for influencing cognitive space are analyzed, demonstrating their diversity and high effectiveness. A historical perspective allows for a classification of the stages of evolution of technologies that form the technological basis for influencing cognitive spaces. Based on this research, the author formulates practical recommendations for managing cognitive spaces, including defining goals and content for this process. These recommendations are based on a comprehensive analysis of current trends and mechanisms, enabling well-founded and effective proposals for managing cognitive space within international relations.
