The Nation State in Service of Globalization
The modern world is witnessing a shift of power in all spheres of public life towards supranational and transnational structures, and at the same time, growing aspirations of some regions of large states to gain autonomy or even independence.

Russia and Belarus: Between Wishing and Reality
Officials from Russia and Belarus make flamboyant claims about the alleged success of ongoing “close” integration between the two countries. However, the year 2005 vividly demonstrated that in reality the economies have been diverging, thus causing Belarus to noticeably depart from Russia.

“The Hegemonic Way” and “the Kingly Way”
The main content of Russia’s national interest must be self-development, which includes general economic development and the improvement of the quality of human capital. These indicators will be the main criteria by which to judge Russia as a great power.

Not Divorced from the Future
Democracy is a mere shape assumed by the political process and not its essence, Farid Zakaria, one of the most original political analysts of      modern-day America, claims in his best-selling book, The Future of Freedom. Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad. At variance with particular ideologists in Washington, the author asserts that democracy is unable to offer an adequate solution to contemporary problems.

Fighting for Ukraine: What’s Next?
Ukraine changed forever following its 2004 presidential election, as did relations between Moscow and Kiev. The bitter feelings that this situation produces are not related to Russia’s defeat in this battle, but to the helplessness of its political warriors. Yet the fight for Ukraine continues.

A Bone of Contention in a Globalized World
Due to the fragmentation of the state and social degradation, Ukraine will not be able to position itself as an independent actor in world politics. Ukraine’s future can be regarded exclusively from the standpoint of the selfish interests of geopolitical actors and the ambitions of their political elites.

The Evolution of the Russian Diaspora in Independent Ukraine
In a situation where ethnic Russians are now the lowest caste on the social ladder of Ukrainian society, they are not in the position to uphold their rights in Ukraine on their own. Today, the outlook for the Russian diaspora’s involvement in Ukrainian politics is bleak.

Every Collapse Has Its Inner Logic
Perestroika and the subsequent 1990s were accompanied by such massive enthusiasm and a sense of liberation that it would be unfair to discard them as illusions from the point of view of some “objective” progress.

Russia in the Post-Soviet Space: Dual Citizenship as a Foreign Policy Instrument
Keeping the post-Soviet space as Moscow’s exclusive zone of influence is the Kremlin’s strategic goal. Transnational citizenship may eventually become one of the main tools for ensuring Russia’s hegemony in the region.

The Russian World Boundaries
Until spring 2014, discussions about the new Russian national identity, including the Russian world concept, had little to do with Russia’s foreign policy and national security agenda. The revolution in Ukraine made it one of the issues critical for the survival of the Russian nation and statehood.

A New Realism for the 21st Century
Maintaining a balance between the Euro-Atlantic vector and the Asian-Pacific vector of Russian foreign policy should not be a game of U-turns one way or the other, but should rather be characterized by flexibility and readiness to adapt to a rapidly changing world.

In Search of the Dream Country
Many IT companies do not need Skolkovo’s Garden of Eden. Far more important to them are financial instruments (for example, lower taxes), mechanisms of interacting with other businesses, institutions and real investors and the selling of ideas. All this can be arranged in a long-distance mode.

Russia On-Line
The Russian Internet community has consolidated, expanded and acquired the necessary links and levers to bring pressure on the authorities. This makes everybody hopeful that any potential attempts by the government at “making the Internet clearer” would be opposed by a force powerful enough to shape public opinion.

The Dilemma of Middlepowermanship in Central Asia: Prospects for Hegemony
Although the Central Asian states seek a more visible role in the international arena and are characterized as independent actors of world politics, they have to sacrifice their independence in order to become middle powers because they lack the power and resources to do so on their own.

The Taliban Enigma and the Polycentric World
In reality, Russia has supported (although softer diplomatic language is used) the force in Afghanistan which is the most independent one in the local context. This is a rather consistent step towards building a polycentric and diverse world.

Limited Possibilities and Possible Limitations
Over the last few years, the Russia-U.S. bilateral relations, far from growing stronger, have approached a dangerous point. The elites in the two countries have developed feelings of mutual disillusionment with each other, as well as the suspicion that the other side is secretly nurturing hostile plans. The presidents’ friendship has ceased to be a means for solving these problems and is actually becoming a means for veiling them.

Strategic Stability Revisited
There is every reason to argue that the existing approach to strategic stability based on sustaining the state of mutually assured destruction has already become an impediment to the bilateral nuclear weapons reduction regime and is completely unfit for the transition to a multilateral framework of nuclear arms negotiations.

The Missed History Classes
Generally speaking, there are no grounds in Russian-U.S. relations for reviving the Cold War and going to the brink of mutual assured destruction. In the presence of common threats, geopolitical interests can adversely impact bilateral relations only to a certain extent. But the current tendencies do not give hope for their speedy improvement.

Between Guns, Bread and Common Sense
The current trend is such that military force is gradually turning from a foreign policy tool into a military power potential. The purpose is to solve political tasks without using military force but relying entirely on the superiority in military potential.

What is going on in Yerevan?
Armenia has been in turmoil for the past few days. The fact that the central streets of Yerevan were packed with protesters did nothing to prevent ruling coalition MPs from convening in the National Assembly and voting for the appointment of Serzh Sargsyan as Prime Minister.

The Global Crisis, Law and Human Rights
The crisis has exposed the ineffectiveness of the classic liberal doctrine of law, which provides groundwork for the idea that social rights are not the rights in the strict sense of the word, while a welfare policy can be viewed as the assistance the states provides to the poor at the expense of the rich, or as charity based on political expediency.

Security Services, Police, and Human Rights
States should take inventory of the laws that regulate the limitations on human rights in the course of implementation of security measures. Most importantly, they should ensure various controls over security services and police by parliamentary and governmental bodies.

An Apologia of the Westphalian System
The Westphalian system has long been the target of numerous attacks, but the most serious threat to its existence – and thus to the foundations of the constitutional systems of sovereign states – has emerged at the beginning of the 21st century, especially after September 11, 2001.

India traditionally sees Eurasia as an area of strategic and economic engagement where it can emerge as an attractive market for some of its prominent partners, focusing, in particular, on Central Asia, the INSTC, and the Russian Far East.
