A Global South 2.0? Evaluating the Concept of World Majority in Russian Foreign Policy
The idea of world majority, floated by Russian experts after 2022, seeks to simultaneously offer a foreign policy direction for the country while also building a meta-category to define the non-western world. As an emerging concept, this article seeks to be one of the first systematic approaches towards understanding what the world majority stands for and how it reflects Russian foreign policy thinking, through engagement with the political and e…
No Longer Neutral? Shifts in Russian Policy towards Northeast Asia since 2014
Russia’s aim to build a role as a neutral, independent player in Northeast Asia (NEA) is now under threat as a result of its regional policy choices since the 2014 annexation of Crimea. Moscow’s evolving position in the region can arguably be better understood in the light of the dynamic of the Sino-Russian partnership. The decline of Russian capacities, its growing partnership with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and NEA developments have e…
India’s South Asia Policy Revisited
India’s policy towards South Asia has undergone a distinct shift in the 21st century: instead of seeking to constrain external powers’ increasing presence in its neighborhood, it has chosen to rely on the presence of other, friendly external actors. This choice is motivated by India’s limited capacity, China’s rising influence, and smaller South Asian states’ desire for enhanced leverage in the region. This article argues that Russia should respo…
Wither the Greater Eurasian Partnership? Challenges from the East in an evolving world order
The idea of the Greater Eurasian Partnership (GEP) has gained increasing currency in Russian foreign policy. The Russia–China partnership has been presented as its bedrock through a partnership between the Eurasian Economic Union and the Belt and Road Initiative, further expanding to include other regional powers from across East Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and Middle East as well as nonwestern multilateral groupings (SCO, ASEAN). Given the c…
Russian Grand Strategy
Grand strategy studies continue to expand as more attempts are being made to bring clarity to its theoretical conceptualization and distinguish it from other, narrower conceptual approaches to policy-making.This article applies some of the theoretical findings from a recent study of Russia's grand strategy to the analysis of the country's policy towards the Asia-Pacific.This conceptualization is then used to explore the India-Russia bilateral rel…
Sino–Russian Partnership in the ‘Asian Supercomplex
China’s relationship with Russia has been on an upward trajectory since the late Soviet period, with the strategic partnership growing steadily since the end of the Cold War. Built on political-economic-strategic convergences, the two sides benefit from their cordial engagement, both at the bilateral and multilateral level, without the obligations associated with an alliance relationship. This alignment has ensured that despite the asymmetric nat…
Russia resurrected
Russia resurrected seeks to accomplish two major tasks: build a ‘multidimensional understanding of Russian power’ to ensure an improved assessment of its capabilities; and examine how the ‘domestic political regime’ influences the use of this power (p. 4). In overall terms, the exposition of the former is delivered much more convincingly than the latter. Questioning western assumptions about Russia being a declining power or a regional power, Kat…
