The article analyzes the concept of humanitarian cooperation in the 21st century. The purpose of research is identifying positive aspects for countries from the use of this foreign policy resource. In the main part, the global qualitative investigation of the forms, types and methods of humanitarian cooperation are carried out; the difference in understanding this concept in the domestic and western literature is emphasized. One the one hand, the concept is viewed as humanitarian assistance during war and conflict. On the other, this concept means establishing and maintaining contacts in the sphere of education, science, culture.
Donor-countries that provide humanitarian assistance are not guided by objective indicators and necessity, but by their priorities in foreign policy. They question the principle of humanity, universality and impartiality. There has been a recent growth of cooperation in the humanitarian field. Particular attention to the possibilities of Russia in the use of this foreign policy resource is given. The concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation as one of the main tasks of Russia establishes the development of humanitarian cooperation with other countries.
In the article, it is stated that «soft power» is an effective tool of humanitarian cooperation for positioning the country on the world political arena. Successful examples of the use of “soft power”, cultural and public diplomacy in the foreign policy of countries are analyzed. In conclusion, the examples of necessary conditions for the competent use of the resources of humanitarian cooperation in the foreign policy of countries are given. The recapitulation and ideas can be used for the research continuation of cooperation in the humanitarian sphere, as well as in the study of foreign political resources of countries
