The immediate post-Riga period should be a time to deepen the NATO-Russia partnership. The Riga Summit marked a significant step in NATO’s evolution toward a security provider within and beyond the Euro-Atlantic area. Russia has nothing to fear, and a lot to gain, from this evolution.

War on Gaza Crystalizes Israel’s Image

Modern Israel attracts much attention from analysts and the public but our ability to understand it is hindered by ideology, prejudice, and myth. However, the fundamental difficulty lies in the habitual association of the state in Western Asia with the Jews. Should we view those who inhabit and govern Israel as Jews or have they become something else - namely, Israelis?

Antisemitism and Antizionism: A Dangerous Conflation

Anti-Semitism is making the headlines. The Israeli Prime Minister describes as anti-Semitic the accusation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and even American students who are calling for a ceasefire. What Israel is doing does in fact provoke anti-Semitic acts against synagogues, Jewish schools and even individual Jews. It is therefore important to understand what anti-Semitism is, what it is not, and how it can be distinguished from anti-Zionism.

Fairy Tales and Globalization

Globalization, albeit no longer so global these days, affects children’s values, self-images and world outlook through targeted marketing of fairy tales, games and assorted media products. This article analyzes these effects and proposes to those concerned a number of measures to counteract them.

Russia en Route to State Capitalism?

There is no clear distinction between a policy aimed at strengthening state control and property expansion (which corresponds to the classical idea of ‘state capitalism’), and the creation of ‘crony capitalism’ based on tightly intertwining interests of the state authorities and certain business entities.

Turkey and the EU: Divergent Forever?

The EU's foreign policy is aimed to promote liberal values, therefore in order to "teach a lesson" to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan the Europeans are ready to further exacerbate relations with Ankara, even to the detriment of themselves.

Central Asia in Search of Water Cooperation

Cooperation on hydro-political matters in Central Asia requires not only framework agreements but also its own ideology, taking into account the interests of all countries in the region, including Russia, which forms the image of a shared “hydraulic future.”

Central Asia and the Struggle for Soviet Legacy

The struggle for Soviet legacy goes on because the industrial base and infrastructure created by Soviet civilization will be of interest to world powers and transnational corporations for many years ahead. This is why references are made to both the common past and the key point of no return—the collapse of the USSR.

Syria and the Regional Restructuring

With the special operation in Ukraine, Syria’s strategic importance for Moscow has increased. Prior to the Ukraine conflict, Washington would have been prepared - under certain conditions - to reach a deal on a settlement in Syria. Now, however, matters have changed.

The Crescent over the Hagia Sophia and the Serbian Cross

Oil Back in Vogue

The global energy market continues to be driven by the political economy of oil production and trade. Energy markets have come full circle returning to their fundamentals: oil is there to stay and play an important role in the era of slow melting of the oil surplus.

A Liberal vs A Conservative

It all begins with pushing the “guilty person” to the sidelines, that is, the one who must atone for his sins in church, get closer to eternal life, etc. The place of the guilty person is taken by a kind man, a “good savage,” who is not bad by nature, is not burdened with original sin, and, therefore, is not yet spoiled by society.

Nationalism and Geopolitics: A Case for Russia

The numerous crises of late modernity – of democratic involvement, the social state, education – erode national unity, as well as diminish the grounds of moral consensus and social solidarity in their denominator. This lays out the historical agenda for a new nationalism. Nationalism in its international dimension takes on the form of rightwing anti-globalism.

The Mystery of the Lost Corvette

The political intrigue has another side to it, namely, the deterrence of China’s growing ambitions in the Korean peninsula and across the region. The minimum objective is to put Beijing in front of a stark choice: whether it prefers to team up with the North Korean “provocateurs” or with the “civilized community.” Whichever option the Chinese may choose, according to the American logic they will find themselves in the losing position.

Russia’s Emergence as an International Conservative Power

Since Vladimir Putin’s return to the presidency in 2012 it has become common to talk of a “conservative turn” in Russian politics. If Russia truly is emerging as a conservative international power, this could lead both Russia and the world in one of several different directions, depending on which version of conservatism comes to dominate.

Symmetric versus Asymmetric Rule

Very different ideas of how the world should be governed constitute one of the misunderstandings which underlie current East-West tensions. If Russia and the West wish to improve relations, they must reach a common interpretation of the rules.

The “Third Cycle”: Is Russia Heading Back to the Future?

The deterioration of economic behavior will impact not only the population but also (and primarily) the elite, who today are connected with the rules of the “imposed consensus.” This means that the diffusion of the current political system could take place against the background of economic changes that, at first glance, do not look like a crisis.

In Different Languages 2.0.

Both Russia and the EU similarly use of the word ‘geopolitics’ to describe the current critical moment and get a similar picture. But in doing so both sides perceive each other as a threat and a source of tensions, which shows that Russia and the EU are close in using the realist language.

Resilience as a new norm allows the EU to emphasize Russia’s “otherness” and thus assert its own identity as a normative leader. The focus on threats sets out a clear action plan for fighting threats associated with Russia.

The Continuous Political and Military Threats Against Fair Multipolarity: A View From Venezuela

Gas Security in the Transitional European Market

Europe may continue building its relations with Moscow, viewing it as the main historical “outsider.” However, such an approach has been rejected by the Franco-German axis and some other countries in the EU. A continued confrontation in the energy policy is a costly and unrealistic scenario.

The U.S.’s Pursuit of NATO Expansion into Ukraine Since 1994

It is ironic that NATO, an alliance ostensibly committed to preserving peace in Europe, has once again made war the ultima ratio, the only effective way for a state to preserve its security. But such an outcome was essentially predetermined almost as soon as the USSR collapsed, when the U.S. decided to expand NATO into Ukraine.

The Worst Quarrels Occur Within Families

The crisis in trans-Atlantic relations has forced Moscow to make a choice which it is loath to make. On some issues, Russia readily agrees with the Europeans; on others it finds common ground only with the Americans. The huge country, which stretches from Europe to the Pacific Ocean, cannot be categorized by simple geopolitical definitions: ‘axis’ or ‘triangle.’
