Global Impeachment

Attempts to remove Donal Trump from office, prove that his actions are incompatible with the post of U.S. president, became the focal point of American, and global due to America’s dominant position, politics in 2019. But “public impeachment” has become a widespread phenomenon.

Fyodor A. Lukyanov

The World at a Crossroads and a System of International Relations for the Future

Will the multipolar world continue to take shape through cooperation and harmonization of interests or through confrontation and rivalry? This depends on all of us. It is now important to start a strategic dialogue on concrete threats and risks and to seek consensus on a commonly acceptable agenda.

Sergei V. Lavrov

Perceptions of Russia in the Global World

The existing ideas of modern Russia and its place in the world, on the one hand, and the awareness of Russia’s cultural and historical contribution to world civilization, on the other, contradict each other in piecing together the country’s integral image.

Daria B. Kazarinova, Vasilya V. Taisheva

From “Chaos” to “Order” to Uncertainty

The “Russian Spring” in Russia and Xi Jinping’s “new normal” in China evoked a controversial reaction among Chinese Russia experts. On the one hand, they treated Putin almost “panegyrically,” but on the other hand, they increasingly voiced concern over growing uncertainty about Russia’s future.

Mikhail V. Karpov

Russia as a “Trauma”

Recognizing publicly Russia’s sovereignty over all the Kuril Islands for Japan would be tantamount to losing face. It is possible to resolve the issue only within the framework of a package deal, the contours of which are still very blurry.

Yaroslav A. Shulatov

Resilience in EU Discourse: A New Norm in Relations with Russia?

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.

Elena B. Pavlova, Tatiana A. Romanova

Two Sides of the 1968 Legacy

Despite the period of organizational and ideological degradation, the left-wing movement is capable of reviving itself and once again challenging capitalism, which is quickly losing its “human face.”

Sergey M. Solovyov

Key Actors in the Libyan Conflict

To be successful, any government of Libya should take into account the demands of the tribes and rely on the support of the Libyans rather than endless help from abroad. Currently, there is no leader in Libya capable of acting without foreign support.

Andrey V. Zeltyn, Larisa A. Zeltyn, Valery A. Matrosov

Counter-Containment of Unipolarity

The struggle over Russia’s destiny in the world, seen as the struggle for Russia’s soul between Westernizers and Easternizers – or Westernizers, Easternizers, and Eurasianizers – is an old trope.

Dayan Jayatilleka

Are You with the Globalists or Patriots?

Trump offers other countries’ leaders a choice between two sides in the current and future world politics: the globalists or the patriots. The price of this choice to be paid is “merely” the level of relations with Trump’s United States. So, the temptation to make the correct choice is quite obvious.

Oleg N. Barabanov

Has Russia Established a New International Role?

Whether Moscow can build a broader international role is not apparent; it will require more than filling in the spaces that the United States leaves blank. Doing so on a long-term basis will also require preparing for the next inevitable cycle of American activism.
