Ukraine and the Debacle of Russian Soft Power
The war in Ukraine has demonstrated Russia’s incapacity to implement a foreign policy strategy without resorting to hard power means, exposing the limits in its soft power capacity to ‘attract’ and ‘persuade’. Specifically, Russian soft power in Ukraine built around the model of the ‘Russian world’ (Russkiy Mir) was unable to persuade Kyiv to align with Moscow through peaceable means. Simultaneously, EU-inspired soft power based on the idea of ‘G…
Eurasian Ideologies at Odds. Assessing the Opposing Nature of Eurasianism and Turanism
Eurasianism and Turanism epitomize two antithetical ideologies driven by the ambition of politically and culturally integrating Eurasia. While Eurasianism has never developed an exclusivist nationalist sentiment based on ethnolinguistic foundations, Turanism falls into the category of pan-nationalist ideologies that tend to exclude the appearance and affirmation of other nations within their spatial scope. The mutually incompatibility of the two …
Exploring Eurasian integration through the lenses of Carl Schmitt
The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) embodies Russia’s latest attempt to restore interconnections among former Soviet countries through economic means rather than military might. The literature on the EAEU views the initiative as a geopolitical tool, a post-imperial escamotage, a platform to enhance reforms, or a counterhegemonic strategy. This article wishes to understand the EAEU as an example of Carl Schmitt’s theorizations, especially in relati…
The Geopolitical Role of the Three Seas Initiative
The Three Seas Initiative (TSI) is a forum of Baltic, Black and Adriatic sea countries. In 1919, pioneering British geopolitical theorist Halford J. Mackinder promoted a ‘Middle Tier’ strategy, that paralleled the Polish interwar ‘Intermarium’ project. Today, the United States views the TSI as an asset in the ‘New Europe’, while pro-Atlanticist Central and Eastern European states see it as a tool to build transatlantic connections. This article s…
The “New Great Game” in Central Asia
Situated at the crossroads of the Silk Road, Central Asia has been an arena of international competition for centuries. Today, a “New Great Game” appears to be taking place between Russia, China and, to a lesser extent, the United States and the European Union for regional hegemony. In the last two decades, Russia and China formed an “axis of convenience”, both to counter Western influence and to thwart regional challenges; however, this has incr…
The legacy of Admiral von Tirpitz
As manifest challenger of the United States (US)-led international order, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has inaugurated a revisionist strategy that encompasses a multifaceted spectrum of initiatives, including an ambitious naval military build-up. History has shown that revisionist and challenging powers tend to defy the established order through arm races. US Admiral Mahan and German Admiral Tirpitz theorized two different approaches to n…
