Articles

A World without Borders

The world is in an extremely dangerous phase, which requires all major actors to be as prudent as possible and clearly understand the consequences of their actions.

Fyodor A. Lukyanov

World Order Z: The Irreversibility of Change and Prospects for Survival

World order Z began to be formed before sophisticated analysts could describe it. And it is being formed through an armed conflict in Europe, unparalleled in scale and intensity since World War II.

Dmitry V. Yefremenko

Spies, Jurists, Diplomats… and Now the Military. Who Influences Decisions in Moscow

The outbreak of war in Ukraine, considered by many as highly improbable until very shortly before the Russian military invasion, is not “surprising.” It is part of the West’s historical struggle to foresee the Kremlin’s decisions and to understand its objectives, both internal and external.

Igor Pellicciari

Breakdown of EU-Russia Transnational Ties: Causes and Consequences

Interstate, transgovernmental, and transnational levels have been developing between Russia and the EU since the early 1990s. After February 24, 2022, many transgovernmental ties were destroyed.

Tatiana A. Romanova

The Harvest of Globalism

The historical roots of the current crisis between Russia and the West are partly related to Russia's three hundred-year striving for the global power status, which has undermined the country’s stamina and deepened the gap with the West. Today, this striving requires Russia to revise the very foundations of its internal development and foreign policy.

Andrei P. Tsygankov

On Early History and Geography of Russian Foreign Policy

The ongoing debate over Russia’s place in world politics is a natural continuation of the historical, cultural, and philosophical experience of the late 19th century—the time when the country’s imperial statehood was in its prime but which also brought into light the problems that several decades later would lead to dramatic events in the last century.

Timofei V. Bordachev

National Identity in Ukraine: History and Politics

Millions of people with Ukrainian surnames, Ukrainian roots and even Ukrainian identity live in Russia. So the events of recent years and months can have a significant impact on identity-building processes not only in Ukraine, but also in Russia.

Alexei I. Miller

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.

Ivan A. Safranchuk, Vera M. Zhornist, Alexander D. Nesmashnyi, Daniil N. Chernov

India’s Strategic Culture: In Search of a Systemic Element

The rise of new centers of power in the Asian region will entail long-term geopolitical consequences for all actors on the world stage, including Russia. One such center is India.

Olga A. Alekseeva-Karnevali

Strategy of Sentimentality in EU Foreign Policy

The Europeans are not able to appreciate the significance of the Ukraine crisis and the vital nature of Russia’s interests, having long lost the habit of thinking for themselves. The vacation from strategic thinking continues.

Andrei A. Sushentsov

Vaccine Diplomacy and Vaccine Nationalism

Vaccines have become a foreign-policy soft power tool of coercion and domination, and also a way to achieve economic gains and capitalize on new opportunities.

Arsenii V. Kirgizov-Barskii, Vladimir M. Morozov

China and the Crisis of the European Security System

China should understand that Washington’s end goal is to systemically curb Beijing’s very ability to exercise its sovereignty as it sees fit.
