Disparate Influences of the Provincial Sino-Russian Political Border on Sociocultural and Economic Borders

The HLJ-RFE border demonstrates how the state, as a “power container” can leak its wealth, culture, and society along the borderland. Furthermore, theoretically, this bottom-up, provincial case counters the concept of “methodological nationalism” that presumes the equivalence of three borders.

Ukraine: A Matter of Time?

The NATO war in Ukraine against Russia has been prolonged and intensified, as increasing hostilities. If we understand violence as the acceleration of time, the longer the conflict lasts, the greater its consequences will be.

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.

If President Donald Trump withholds the next round of Iran sanctions waivers due May 12, effectively exiting the nuclear deal, Tehran could resume its nuclear program “in a much more advanced way.”

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.

The Rise of Liberal Authoritarianism and Global Transition to Polycentrism

The Kremlin’s strategic decision on the special military operation in February 2022 is accelerating the processes of pluralization and democratization of international relations. Irrespective of the immediate results of a future settlement between Ukraine (and the West) and Russia, the conflict contributes significantly to the prospective establishment of the Global Majority’s rule within the polycentric international order.

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.
