Russian Realists on the Art of Diplomacy
Putin and Trump
How can we explain the repeated failure of U.S. and Russian leaders to “reset” their relationship since the end of the Cold War? The core cause lies in a combination of major asymmetries and incompatible policy objectives, especially about the international status of Russia’s historical borderlands. What are these structural asymmetries in contemporary American-Russian relations? ... with China: $577 billion; with Canada: $543 billion; with The N…
The influence of regime type on Russian foreign policy toward “the West,” 1992–2015
Russia’s foreign policy does not follow directly from the nature of its internal political system but rather from the interaction of that political system with other political systems. Russian policy toward the Western world is best understood in terms of the capacity of Russia’s post-Soviet rulers to achieve two goals that are in implicit tension with each other. They are: a) maximizing the benefit to the Russian state of the country’s multiface…
Putin ex machina: La Russie post-soviétique dans une perspective comparative et historique
L’auteur situe la Russie de Putin dans plusieurs contextes historiques et comparatifs : post-totalitaire, post-impérial, l’échec de la démocratie de marché dans les années 1990 et la logique de l’État pétrolier. Il affirme que la meilleure façon de comprendre la “démocratie Potemkine” de Putin, qui combine un gouvernement autoritaire avec les formes de la démocratie, une économie partiellement libre et une société largement ouverte, consiste à se…

How Russia Is Not Ruled: Reflections on Russian Political Development
The state remains as important to Russia's prospects as ever. This is so not only because, as in any society, an effectively functioning state administration is necessary to the proper functioning of a complex economy and legal system, but also because, in Russian circumstances, factors of economic geography tend to increase costs of production compared to the rest of the world. These mutually reinforcing factors include: the extreme severity of …
The Evolution of Russian Foreign Policy in the 1990s
Despite a disillusionment with early hopes for Russia's integration into a North Atlantic political, economic and security community and a decidedly nationalist tilt to much foreign policy discourse, Russia throughout the 1990s remained committed to a pragmatic, non-ideological course of asserting specifically Russian state interests, notably its desire for predominance within the CIS, without in the process jeopardizing working relations with th…
Roots of Russia's Economic Dilemmas: Liberal Economics and Illiberal Geography
ONE OF THE STRIKING ASPECTS of Russia’s economic course in the 1990s is the dearth of capital investment, both foreign and domestic. Investment is an essential requirement if Russia is to experience a sustained economic recovery from the shocks of Soviet disintegration and the often incoherent economic policies pursued in the early post-Soviet years. By any standard—for example the levels of foreign direct investment going into the East Central E…
Woodrow Wilson and the principle of ‘national self-determination’: A reconsideration
Examination of Woodrow Wilson's concept of national self-determination in light of both Wilson's own intellectual development and the evolution of wartime strategy and diplomacy establishes that there was no prior consideration of ethnic or collective versus liberal or civic nationalism in Wilson's idea of ‘national’ self-determination and that the actual enunciation and application of the principle was deeply affected by considerations of wartim…
Manger son capital, subir sa géographie: Jusqu'à quand
La nouvelle Russie a connu, au cours de ses dix ans d'existence, une dégradation économique pratiquement continue, qui ne se mesure pas seulement en contre-performances générales mais aussi dans le non-renouvellement dramatique de son stock de capital et dans la part croissante occupée par les matières premières dans ses revenus. La dissolution de l'autorité dans les dernières années de l'URSS en est en partie responsable, mais elle a été suivie,…

"Comments On Robert V. Daniel's Paper, "Was Stalin Really a Communist
ALLEN LYNCH (Charlottesville, VA, USA) COMMENTS ON ROBERT V DANIEL'S PAPER, "WAS STALIN REALLY A COMMUNIST?" A major research program would seem to follow from the provoca- tive title of Robert Daniels' thoughtful paper. If it is true that Stalin was not really a Communist, as the title would have it, then how did it come to pass that an identifiably "Communist" pofitical system was built in Russia and the USSR, one that endured longer, after the…

Please bear with a specialist in international relations commenting on a series of presentations in comparative politics and economics. I will first try to identify a set of issues that arise from the presentations, and then I will spend a few minutes giving some of my own reflections on those issues

It seems that I have left out a section of Lenin's fundamental thoughts about the approach to the program and they are worth recalling
The Soviet Study of International Relations
'Dr Lynch's book is an insightful and incisive examination of Soviet theories and concepts of international politics and foreign policy. Not only does he provide a concise exposition of the orthodox Marxist, Leninist and Stalinist foundations of Soviet thinking on international affairs, but he also examines the important departures from that orthodoxy under Khrushchev and Brezhnev. More important, however, he focuses on the intellectual ferment w…
