A specter is haunting the world, a specter of something new which no one can comprehend at this point. It has been a long time since the world faced a situation of such all-pervading uncertainty, when no one can clearly determine even the nature of ongoing changes.
A new Concert of Nations could be more stable than the previous one if it is based not only on moral principles and the balance of power, but also on mutual nuclear deterrence.
Russian and U.S. leaders have choices of far greater portent than either appears to realize. Narrow preoccupations, occluded politics, and the ascendance of small-minded thinking on both sides at all levels may be inescapable. If so, the great powers will again sleepwalk through defining moments of history—and pay a price.
Russia has stopped trying to turn itself into Europe, a goal Russian politicians and philosophers have been advocating for 300 years. Russia now has a more cautious attitude to long-term political and military involvement outside the national borders, and maintains a selective presence in regions of priority importance.
The correction made by American voters means that over a certain period of time the world will see the emergence of more places free from American dominance. Russia should think hard about how it will fill in its part of the emerging vacuum.
The anticipated transition of the U.S. Republican administration towards bilateral free trade area agreements may become an even more effective strategy for geoeconomic consolidation of Asian allies around Washington.
According to the strategy of “civilizational realism,” Russia and the Euro-Atlantic region would be recognized as separate civilizations, with their own gravitation orbits. Russia’s orbit would be much more modest, but still real. In this sense, the “Russian world” would no longer have a narrow ethnic interpretation.
Once it has consolidated its civilizational subjectivity, Russia will be able to go back to playing an active role in world affairs. This rebound will not be a return to the principles of (neo)-Soviet or superpower globalism. Rather, it will proceed from a new understanding of the country’s international role.
Russia’s soft power should develop a broad and long-term narrative, capable of giving constructive answers to challenges facing Russian and Western societies. Berdyaev’s model of liberal conservatism can serve as the basis for an alternative discourse.
Our oikumene will have to be recognized as multi-civilizational if a more balanced and multi-polar world is the ultimate goal. It is this kind of approach that is capable of making civilizational dialogue conflict free and mutually enriching.
The uniqueness of the Far Eastern mobilization breakthrough is largely based on the traditional Confucian legacy, which, effectively applied, have helped Asian countries boost their status in the changing world order.
The wish to make stability the paramount value possibly saves society in a situation of uncertainty, but it does not guarantee an extraordinary result for one and all. Sooner or later there emerges demand for new ideas: those of development, innovation, patriotism, tradition, social responsibility, justice and the like.
The Syrian experience may prove to be a model for a new approach to the organization of the army. In the Middle East, this institution continues to play not only a military but also a political role as a state-forming element of the political system.
The EU could find a partner in China, which is pushing its New Silk Road initiative to include Central Asian states, Russia, and Eastern European states. This would connect the EU and the EEU in a new broader framework “from Lisbon to Shanghai,” stimulate inter-regional cooperation, and lead to greater prosperity across the whole of Eurasia.
Currency issue is a political issue as much as it is an economic one, therefore political leadership is needed. Much depends on whether Japan can cooperate with Russia as the U.S. did with Saudi Arabia. Japan would be a stable buyer of natural gas and a stable provider of capital for Russia.
Политика Трампа заключается в меркантилистском подходе к международной экономической политике, в общем неуважении к правам человека и власти закона, а также в пропаганде национализма и одностороннего подхода за счет многостороннего сотрудничества.
В повестке экономического развития как отдельных государств, так и региональных объединений, значительную роль играет внешнеторговая стратегия. Для ЕАЭС идея формирования Большой Евразии как открытого взаимовыгодного партнерства на целом континенте с прямым выходом в АТР служит одной из стратегических целей.
Facebook исполняется 15 лет. За эти годы компания успела изменить мир, но еще больше — изменилась сама. Сегодня Facebook — это более 2 миллиардов пользователей по всему миру, политические скандалы, "корпорация зла" в Америке и Европе и при этом часть публичной сферы многих стран, в том числе России.
Соединенные Штаты начинались как радикальный эксперимент с грандиозными амбициями. Их основатели верили в идею Локка, что свободные личности смогут избежать опасностей анархии, объединившись, чтобы сотрудничать во имя общего блага, и создав страну, с помощью которой докажут, что это не пустая болтовня...
Что во время войны пошло не по плану и кто в российском руководстве играл ключевую роль при принятии
Не разорит ли страну новая программа вооружений
Отношения между США и Россией сейчас переживают худшие с момента окончания холодной войны времена, между Китаем и США растёт напряжённость, Индия и Китай пытаются снова наладить отношения после периода напряжённости. Крупные державы напоминают сегодня несчастливые семьи из «Анны Карениной» Льва Толстого: «Каждая несчастливая семья (в данном случае великая держава) несчастлива по-своему».
Настала новая эпоха, в которой человечество ещё никогда не жило, и всё более открытый для миграций мир манит своей кажущейся простотой смены статуса, места работы и места жительства.
