Legitimization of armed intervention through Western media narratives: 2000-2022, The period of instrumentalization of the Responsibility to Protect Concept
The article studies the evolution of the narrative of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P, Responsibility to Protect, RP) concept through the prism of armed intervention cases. This paper is a logical continuation of the article “Legitimizing armed intervention by means of Western media narratives: dominant narratives during the emergence of the Responsibility to Protect concept, 1990s”.

Dominant narratives in Western media during the 1990s formation of the Responsibility to Protect
The article examines the influence of narratives of armed intervention produced by international civil society on the formation of the concept of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). The article tests the hypothesis that the narratives of the most popular Western media in the 1990s were reflected in the later adopted concept of the R2P. The time span of the analyzed interventions covers the period of the R2P norm formation - the 1990s. The paper …
International Hierarchy and Functional Differentiation of States: Results of an Expert Survey
This article investigates the existing international hierarchy employing expert survey as its primary method. 'Authority hierarchy' and 'power status hierarchy,' the two existing research traditions of hierarchy studies, are briefly introduced. We demonstrate a gap between basic research on power status, emphasizing its social nature, and applied case studies, primarily relying on purely material indicators of a country's capabilities, such as th…

The authors argue that although Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have high economic potentials, by certain criteria they have not achieved the status of mi…
State Differentiation by Climate Ambition: Implications for World Politics
Climate politics forms a subsystem of world politics. In this subsystem, states are differentiated by their ambitions to decarbonize their economies. These ambitions proceed from national policies and the nationally determined contributions (NDC) submitted by states in accordance with the Paris Agreement. Based on states’ climate ambitions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) produce multiple reports ranking states and evaluating their contribu…
The Taliban Enigma and the Polycentric World
Despite the general view on the Taliban 1 as a proxy actor, it has become capable of pursuing independent domestic and foreign policies. Two basic options for the Taliban's role in regional affairs are possible in the future. Under the Taliban's rule Afghanistan may become either a scene of rivalry between great and regional powers, or a neutral zone with a revived buffer function it performed long before the 1970s. The Taliban's independent poli…
