  • Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and Africa: New Perspectives on the Era of Decolonization, 1950s to 1970s by Chris Saunders, Helder Adegar Fonseca, and Lena Dallywater

    Roger E KanetARTICLEJournal of Cold War Studies2024

    For more than five decades, studies of Soviet and East European Communist states’ relations with Africa have been an important topic for scholars. When I first began exploring this topic, the literature was quite small and limited in its coverage. The book under review here, Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and Africa: New Perspectives on the Era of Decolonization, 1950s to 1990s, fills much of the gap that still exists for the decades immediate…

  • Russia’s return to Africa: A renewed challenge to the West

    Roger E Kanet, Dina MoulioukovaARTICLEPost-Soviet Affairs2022References: 5

    We track the major developments in Soviet-African relations as a prelude to recently revived Russian policy. Russian policy today is much less ideological than that of the Soviet Union and relies more on the establishment of mutually beneficial economic relations. Soviet/Russian policy in Africa over six decades has been motivated by more than by traditional security concerns. In the case of the former, the effort to encourage and speed up a glob…

  • Russia’s Enhanced role in Eurasia: The ‘Near Abroad’ Three Decades On

    Roger E KanetARTICLEEuropean Politics and Society2022Cited by: 4References: 1

    Russian policy has become much more hostile to the West in the last decade. Did the West, much as President Putin has charged, attempt to constrain or contain Russian influence in its 'near abroad,' and, if so, were they successful in their efforts? It was Moscow's decision to pursue its own path, by not integrating into the West, that put it at odds with the West.Besides its military intervention in Georgia, by fall 2008 Russia had successfully …

  • Ontological security: A framework for the analysis of Russia’s view of the world

    Dina Moulioukova, Roger E KanetARTICLEGlobal Affairs2021Cited by: 2References: 22

    Recent studies have noted the human need for ontological security as an important factor of a state's foreign policy. Ontological security builds on the major role that embedded and routinized biographical narratives of a state play in its identity: how it sees itself, and how it wants to be seen by others. While there is rich research connecting the importance of the great power narrative to Russia's sense of ontological security, less attention…

  • Russia in Latin America: An extension of Moscow’s policy in the developing world

    Roger E Kanet, Dina MoulioukovaARTICLEGlobal Affairs2021References: 13

    In the Soviet period the USSR expanded its contacts with the countries of Latin America with the primary goal of converting developing states into Marxist-Leninist states – and thereby reenforcing not only its status as leader of a global communist movement, but also as a “great power” able to compete with and defend itself against the United States, Since the Soviet collapse – especially since the rise to political power of Vladimir Putin, Russi…

  • Assertive foreign policy despite diminished capabilities: Russian involvement in Syria

    Dina Moulioukova, Roger E KanetARTICLEGlobal Affairs2020References: 8

    In 2015, more than 60 per cent of Russians supported the actions of their government in Syria, despite the lack of clarity on the reasons behind Moscow’s involvement. One would expect such a bold move to come from a powerful state with a healthy economy and strong geopolitical leverage. However, in 2015, Russia was struggling economically; its inflation had been rising and the GDP had contracted dramatically. The Kremlin’s decision to engage in S…

  • Russian strategic culture, domestic politics and Cold War 2.0

    Roger E KanetARTICLEEuropean Politics and Society2018References: 14

    The charges and countercharges between Russia and the West, the expanded military budgets and exercises, the denigration in both Russia and the US of past nuclear arms agreements, and Russia's direct involvement in the internal affairs of Western countries parallel some of the most conflictual periods during the Cold War. This paper argues that the deterioration of relations between Russia and the West from the euphoria of the early 1990s to the …

  • Shifting Priorities in Russia's Foreign and Security Policy

    Rémi Piet, Roger E KanetBOOKShifting Priorities in Russia's…2016

    Given the resurgence of Russian economic capabilities and of Russia's role as a regional, even global, political actor, much of the literature written more than 4-5 years ago is already dated. The editor and contributors to this timely volume draw upon a broad range of analysts who deal with various aspects of Russian relations with its neighbours to the West and to the East. Implications for Russian foreign and security policy are key to underst…

    Anyone interested in the place of mercenaries in U.S. policy in the developing world during the height of the Cold War will find this comprehensive analysis of the topic an essential introduction to the mass of sources on which Klaas Voß has drawn. Washingtons Söldner: tracks the role of the United States and of U.S.-organized mercenary operations in four civil wars—that in the Congo in the mid-1960s; those in Angola and Rhodesia a decade later; …

  • Foreign Policy Making in a Democratic Society

    Open AccessRoger E KanetARTICLEInternational Studies Review2010

    The majority of the published studies of US foreign policy focus on the implementation of policy—on American policy in a region, US relations with a country or policy concerning a particular issue. The three books under review here, however, concern the making of US foreign policy in the domestic political system rather than with its implementation. At first glance these volumes appear to deal with quite disparate topics—strategic planning in US …

  • The Superpower Quest for Empire: The Cold War and Soviet Support for ‘Wars of National Liberation’

    Roger E KanetARTICLECold War History2006Cited by: 6References: 20

    As the Cold War with its focus on confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States fades further into the historical background, the legacies of that struggle continue to flourish in large portions of the developing world. The murderous warfare that devastated Afghanistan and Somalia after 1990, the lethality of local and regional conflicts in Africa and Asia, and the dominant role of the military in so many developing countries are b…
