Timofei V. Bordachev

Even if Russia sets a goal of rejoining in the European balance of power once again, the conflict that will follow as a result of such behavior will not be of central importance to the fate of the world. The European era of international politics is over.

The task of the tripartite RIC format (Russia-India-China) should be not only to support each other on global issues, but also to promote a common vision of the regional order, which is yet to be formulated through joint discus-sions.

Fyodor A. Lukyanov

The experience of great powers clearly shows that “loneliness,” that is, pursuance of solely one’s own interests and reliance primarily on one’s own resources is the norm.

Agenda

Russia, Iran, and the Eurasian Economic Union

Giving Iran a full-fledged membership in the Eurasian Economic Union is risky proposition that will reshape Russia’s regional integration strategy, the nature of post-Soviet institutions, and Moscow’s relations with other Middle Eastern and non-Middle Eastern states.

‘We may see a further erosion of interconnection’

As more sophisticated means of communication are introduced, there will likely be higher suspicion among governments. The more vulnerable states feel, the tighter control they will try to impose and exercise. As a result, we may see a further erosion of interconnection – something we are already seeing in the economic and political field – and companies may struggle for market opportunities.

How to Stave Off the Rising Tide of Global Disorder

Without some accommodation, which will entail compromises on what major countries consider core values and principles, the world will face growing disorder. Europe found a means of doing so to end the Wars of Religion in the 17th century, and the great powers did the same after the end of the Second World War. We need to repeat that feat today.

After Biden’s ‘killer’ comments about Putin, time to make a break in Russia-US relations; further engagement is pointless for now

Joe Biden’s ‘yes’ to an interviewer’s question about Vladimir Putin being a killer sounds outrageous even against the backdrop of the dreadful relations between Washington and Moscow, which have been in free fall for a long time.

Towards a Third Nuclear Age: Disruptive Technologies, the Withering of Restraint, and the Return of Great Power Politics

Three quarters of a century after the first atomic device was exploded in the New Mexico desert, and three decades after the end of the Cold War, there appears to be a recognition in both academic literature and policymaking circles that a “new nuclear era” could be upon us.

American Drama: Act I

The dramatic events that unfolded in the US capital in the beginning of January 2021 have added suspense to the narrative of tread towards the ‘new brave world.’ By and large the popular uprising in support of outgoing President Trump represents a finishing touch in setting the scene where the Covid-19 pandemic continued to form the background.

Restoring the Effectiveness of the JCPOA: Principles and Approaches. A View from Russia

There is no point expecting that Russia will be prepared to pay the price for the Trump administration’s actions on the JCPOA that have not only jeopardized the existence of that deal but also wrought damage to Russian interests.

The Future of the Big Triangle

I do not think that there is a serious risk for Russia to end up in strategic dependence on China. No dependence on any external center is acceptable for Russia with its sacred striving for sovereignty. It cannot be anyone’s “younger brother.”
