In Defense of the Conceit of Humanitarian Intervention
My thanks to Cecilia Jacob, Frank Ledwidge, Max Pensky, and Jennifer Walsh for appraising The Conceit of Humanitarian Intervention, and to Dirk Moses, who proposed this symposium. My interlocutors
Why Humanitarian Intervention Still Isn't a Global Norm
Efforts to press the international community to supersede national sovereignty when necessary to stop atrocities have been hindered by inconsistent application of the principle

Buffer zones
Amidst calls for containing an assertive Russia, politicians and pundits have been debating whether Ukraine should serve as a ‘buffer zone’ between the Russian and Western spheres of influence. These debates provide an opportunity to revisit the long and varied history of major powers’ efforts to manage buffer zones. We draw on this history to learn the conditions under which buffer zones succeed or fail to stabilise regions, how buffers are most…
The Specter of Relativism
Relativism represents a threat – often fatal – to democracy. Why? Because if every political and normative position comes to be seen as equally valid as any other, the moral cement necessary for so
Conflict in Ukraine
Puts the conflict in historical perspective by examining the evolution of the crisis and assessing its implications both for the Crimean peninsula and for Russia's relations with the West more generally. Experts in the international relations of post-Soviet states, political scientists Rajan Menon and Eugene Rumer clearly show what is at stake in Ukraine, explaining the key economic, political, and security challenges and prospects for overcoming…
Beijing and Moscow Balk at “Interference”
China and Russia's stance on Syria is a result of their convergent conceptions of sovereignty and humanitarian intervention, their compatible assessments of the nature of the conflict and of Western motives, and the lessons they learned from the Libyan uprising
Culture Wars
Pax Americana and the Rising Powers
While unipolar triumphalists deny historic changes are under way, multipolar pessimists exaggerate the pace of these changes and are cocksure about what lies ahead

The Limits of Chinese–Russian Partnership
Since 1996, Russia and China have been united in what both call a ‘strategic partnership’. But the current stage of their relationship will more than likely give way to another that could surprise us, as previous ones have. The direction of such shifts has generally defied expectations. While Beijing values its strategic partnership with Russia, particularly as a means for obtaining arms and energy, it has no illusions that Russia and China can c…
Reorienting Japan
The End of Alliances
Why should the United States cling to military alliances established during the Cold War when the circumstances are now fundamentally different? In The End of Alliances Rajan Menon makes the bold claim that our alliances in Europe and Asia have become irrelevant to the challenges the United States faces today and are slowly dissolving as a result. The dissolution of our alliances will not, Menon emphasizes, culminate in isolationism. The United S…

Chaos in the North Caucasus and Russia's future
Chechen-style turmoil is spreading across the rest of the North Caucasus, and the Kremlin seems incapable of coping with the mounting chaos, or even understanding its causes - among them poverty, unemployment, ethnic tensions, corrupt pro-Moscow elites and high-handed policies by local authorities. Islam has become an increasingly powerful political force, and some Islamist groups are unquestionably radical and violent, and seek a sharia-based Ca…

The New Great Game in Central Asia
Greater Central Asia - the region consisting of the five Central Asian states, plus Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Xinjiang, and Afghanistan - has been strategically transformed. American strategic interests in Central Asia, marginal before the 11 September terrorist attacks, have suddenly become substantial. To continue the campaign against terrorism, the United States retained the Central Asian bases it acquired to destroy the Taliban. Central Asia's …

Russia's Ruinous Chechen War
The Russian Federation may be falling apart?and its war against Chechnya is showing why. Unfortunately, most observers of the war in Chechnya miss the larger implications, limiting their analysis to the struggle for independence of one small region. Moscow blames radical Islamists for the trouble. Despite the unde niable role of fundamentalists in the Caucasus, however, Moscow had a greater hand in the federation's decline than it cares to admit.…
The limits of neorealism
This paper specifies the conditions for conflict in Central Asia. Given Russian preponderance this should be an easy case for neorealism. But we demonstrate that the consequences of Russia's superior power will depend on the nature of its regime and domestic stability in Central Asia. The type of nationalism, the robustness of political institutions, and the success or failure of economic reform will be critical conditions for Central Asian stabi…

Explaining Imperialism
Imperialism has been an enduring subject of discussion among students of international politics. Professors Menon and Oneal examine here three explanations of the causes of imperialism. They find that while each of them makes a useful contribution, none can fully account for European colonialism before World War I or the actions of the superpowers today. They urge greater attention to the forces that support and oppose imperialism within both the…

India and the Soviet Union
THE DEFEAT OF Mrs. Indira Gandhi's government in the March 1977 elections held in India is a political landmark in the country's history. The victory of the Janata party, and the assumption of office by Prime Minister Morarji Desai, ended almost three decades of Congress party rule at the center. Since key figures in the new leadership have in the past been classified as representatives of the right wing of the Indian political scene, the possibi…
