Russian-Iranian Relations through the Prism of the Syrian Crisis

Moscow is extremely interested in keeping Iran in the sphere of its influence. First of all, Iran’s geostrategic position allows it to influence the situation in the Caspian Sea region, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Middle East. This, in turn, compels Moscow to discuss a wide range of foreign policy issues with Tehran. Given the shared visions on how to handle most of these problems, the support of Iran is believed to be important to the success of Moscow’s activities to restore and strengthen Russia’s regional position after the fall of the Soviet Union. Finally, both Moscow and Tehran are interested in saving the remaining government institutions in Syria. This common task plays in favor of Russian-Iranian cooperation, although each country certainly has its own reasons for saving the remnants of the regime.

This work is devoted to a theoretical explanation of the Easterlin paradox, according to which long-term economic growth does not make average level of people's happiness increasing. By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

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 ...

The notion of “political accommodation” applied to the theory and practice of managing cultural diversity could enrich the Russian academic dictionary. Liberal democratic states invented specific mechanisms for political accommodation of cultural differences. Thanks to these mechanisms, the part of the population of a democratic state that is not ready to dissolve into the ethnocultural ...

American politics has taken a dizzying turn since Donald Trump's return to the presidency. A suspicion arose: isn't this another turning point in the course of history, no less decisive than in the second half of the eighties of the last century? A reverse fracture. Gorbachev, with his new political thinking, willingly or unwittingly opened ...

The relatively uniform globalization that it was at the turn of the century has ended, but the world has not fragmented. It has remained interconnected, although often in a whimsical way – through informal mechanisms and gray-black schemes. Centralized management by certain rules is being replaced by self–organization for survival - a special one, from ...

The chain of conflicts with the armed component will continue, and many of the contradictions that were under control will enter an active phase. This is natural in the context of the general crisis of the restriction system. Hence the increased role of military force, which is certain today and inevitable tomorrow. But, as extensive ...

The events of two years have changed the perception of both war and peace. It would be an exaggeration to say that everything turned upside down overnight – international processes have long and consistently deviated from how they were usually described. The divergence of feelings, words, and deeds became more and more striking. Looking back, ...

In the context of global instability, the stability of national systems is crucial. And it depends on how much the state power is able to get the population to recognize its right to govern. In other words, to ensure legitimacy. Historically, this has happened in different ways - by force, by class hierarchy, by dynastic ...

By the autumn of 2023, the military campaign in Ukraine had become an integral part of the international political and economic landscape. A cessation of hostilities is not expected – neither a decisive victory by either side nor a peace agreement based on compromise seem likely in the foreseeable future. The conflict remains the main ...

Classical diplomacy—based on the balance of power, on determining which of one’s own interests should be prioritized, on achieving their satisfaction in return for the satisfaction of others’, and on frank conversations between leaders—cannot guarantee success, but does at least strive for it. The U.S. and Russia clearly value the opportunity that has opened up before ...

The dismantling of the old world order has become a popular topic in recent years.

The latest changes in the international arena, including the new Russia-DPRK relationship, are returning us to pre-liberal international practice.

Mikhail Gorbachev died in the late summer of 2022, having lived to see the final collapse of his hopes for a common European home. For him, this must have been much more bitter and painful than even the disappearance of the country he had once headed—the Soviet Union. After his resignation, Gorbachev repeatedly admitted that he had ...
