Vying to Restore Greatness
El movimiento del presidente Trump para “Hacer a América Grande de Nuevo” ha ejemplificado, difundido e intensificado una tendencia internacional más amplia: la ambición de los nacionalistas de otros países de alcanzar o restaurar también la grandeza para sus naciones. Este artículo analiza las aspiraciones de los nacionalistas de cinco “Estados civilizacionales” euroasiáticos por restaurar una grandeza internacional basada en su interpretación d…

Civil Society, Interest Groups, and the Media
This chapter focuses on the concept of civil society, along with interest groups and the media. It first provides a background on the evolution of civil society and interest groups before discussing corporatism. In particular, it examines the ways in which civil society responds to state actors and tries to manoeuvre them into cooperation. This is politics from below. The chapter proceeds by considering the notion of ‘infrapolitics’ and the emerg…
Conclusion
This chapter summarizes the text's various arguments. It first considers the relationships between the study of political philosophy, political institutions, and international relations and suggests that the study of politics cannot be divorced from the study of other social sciences such as economics, sociology, psychology, philosophy, law, and history. It also contends that the study of politics should be seen as a genuinely international and c…
Democracies, Democratization, and Authoritarian Regimes
This chapter focuses on democracies, democratization, and authoritarian regimes. It first considers the two main approaches to analysing the global rise of democracy over the last thirty years: first, long-term trends of modernization, and more specifically economic development, that create preconditions for democracy and opportunities for democratic entrepreneurs; and second, the sequences of more short-term events and actions of key actors at m…
Westward ho-the China dream and 'one belt, one road
China's domestic politics and foreign policy have evolved considerably under President Xi Jinping. Domestically the regime has actively promoted the idea of the ‘China dream’ to restore optimism and enthusiasm about its future, particularly among young people. Yet it has also sought to differentiate the socialist China dream from any resemblance to the American dream. Its main emphasis is on making China ‘strong and powerful’ again. In foreign po…
Dilemmy Britanii
This book contains a collection of 21 essays written by a number of scholars in the Russian Academy of Sciences, many of them long-time observers of the British scene. The collection focuses on the period from the last years of the Labour government under Gordon Brown to the early years of David Cameron's coalition government, though some of the chapters set the analysis in a much broader historical context going back to the end of the Second Wor…
Rising powers at the UN
This article examines the long-term trends of foreign policy convergence of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (brics) to determine the similarity of their positions on world issues, as they seek to ‘insert’ themselves more fully into global decision making. The analysis is based upon their votes in the UN General Assembly. The article compiles two indexes of voting for the period 1974–2011. Both demonstrate a high and now growing degr…
Response to a Response
Research Highlights This article Restates the differences in focus between the original article and the Response, which justifies the choice of 1974 as the starting date for analysis. Accepts the more nuanced analysis of the voting convergence of the ASEAN states. Restates the considerations leading to the decision to include all the UNGA resolutions in the period chosen as the basis of the analysis, rather than a filtered selection. Argues that …

China and the IMF
The International Monetary Fund was the international financial institution that was most alien to the Chinese government when it embarked upon its economic reforms at the end of the 1970s, because financial markets were neglected in China's centralized plan. Therefore, China's increasing cooperation with the IMF illuminates the extent to which China has changed through ‘socialization’ into the norms of global governance more generally. The artic…
China's 12th Five-Year Plan and global economic rebalancing
This article examines the likelihood of China's 12th Five-Year Plan, making a significant change in the economic balance between global savings and consumption in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis. It illustrates this by pointing to the high savings and investment rates, and low-consumption rates in Pacific Asia, especially in China. It goes on to consider whether the 12th Five-Year Plan is likely to change those tendencies significant…

China as an economic giant
Rapid economic growth in China, accompanied by an ‘open door’ policy on the part of the regime, is presenting both Western and Asian nations with major investment and trading opportunities. However, China's size and political complexion as well as its current and likely future economic growth rate identify it also as a potential threat in the minds of many. The authors of this article first address the likelihood that China's economic expansion w…

Take‐off for Taiwan
At the beginning of the 1980s, Taiwan appeared bereft of support from even its closest ally, the United States. Yet only 10 years later its political leadership was confident enough to embark upon a dramatic course of democratization, and economically it was a fully-fledged little tiger, with official foreign exchange holdings and growth rates among the highest in the world. But will the rate of political change get out of hand? Will the economy …
