The Middle East and the Ukraine War
While the ambivalence among Middle Eastern states about the war in Ukraine stems from multiple sources, Russian influence is a significant, if underappreciated, factor. Several of these countries see Moscow as an external balancer and hedge against the possibility of a broader US pullback from the region. At the same time, Russia maintains significant coercive capabilities thanks to its military presence in Syria and burgeoning strategic partners…
The War in Ukraine and Russia’s Quest to Reshape the World Order
Empires of Eurasia
How the collapse of empires helps explain the efforts of China, Iran, Russia, and Turkey to challenge the international order
Empires of Eurasia
Famously described by Mackinder as the “geographic pivot of history,” Eurasia was for thousands of years an arena for exchange and geopolitical competition among empires, among them the predecessors of today’s Chinese, Iranian, Russian, and Turkish states. When these Eurasian empires collapsed in the first decades of the 20th century, the states that replaced them still bore traces of the imperial legacy, even as rulers like Atatürk, Lenin, Mao, …
The East Wind Prevails? Russia’s Response to China’s Eurasian Ambitions
Deference to Chinese aspirations in Eurasia is integral to Moscow’s pursuit of closer relations with Beijing. Yet China’s pursuit of regional, and ultimately global, influence is at odds with Russia’s longstanding ambition to maintain post-Soviet Eurasia as a strategic glacis and sphere of ‘privileged interests’. Russia has consequently sought to shape and channel Chinese engagement in line with its own interests, with mixed results. Disappointme…
The War in Ukraine and Eurasia’s New Imperial Moment
Russia in the Era of Great Power Competition
Russia has come to occupy an anomalous position in Western strategic thought. While former US president Barack Obama dismissed Russia as a “regional power” following its 2014 occupation of Crimea a
Return to Cold War
Amid the dramatic downturn in relations between the United States and Russia over the past few years, many analysts and commentators have fallen back on the Cold War as an easy analogy for the new U.S.-Russia rivalry. In Return to Cold War, Columbia University professor emeritus and longtime advocate of improved U.S.-Russia relations Robert Legvold asks whether the analogy holds and, more to the point, what lessons diplomats and politicians in bo…

Reforming the Euro-Atlantic Security Architecture
Russian foreign policy
This text examines development of Russian foreign policy since end of the Cold War. Jeffrey Mankoff argues that Russia's more assertive behavior since Vladimir Putin became president in 2000 has resulted from both a consensus among its elite about Russia's identity and interests and a favorable convergence of events, including persistence of high energy prices and the check on U.S. power resulting from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Because these …
Russian Foreign Policy and the United States After Putin
Russian foreign policy under Medvedev will probably continue to have a powerful streak of economic self-interest
The future of Poland, 1914–1917
THE POLISH QUESTION — whether, and if so how and in what form, to recreate an independent Polish state — was one of the most vexing problems that faced European diplomats during the First World War. Believing that aroused Polish patriotism could be a powerful weapon against the Central Powers, yet fearing that support for Polish national aspirations would alienate their Russian ally and fracture the Triple Entente, British and French statesmen ha…
Russia and the West
Although relations with Russia are in a difficult phase, Moscowâ s behavior in 2006 has been consistent with the strategy pursued by the Kremlin for the past decade: not challenging Western influence but proving that Moscow still matters internationally
Russia’s Weak Society and Weak State
Because of the weakness of Russia’s political parties, the state too often does more for the benefit of autonomous social cliques than for the masses
