US Global Leadership Dilemma As A Challenge For The US-Russia Relations
The paper discusses the issue of leadership as a central problems of the US Grand Strategy as America is adjusting to a transforming international system, marked by increasing multipolarity, interdependence and heterogeneity, and decreasing governability. It also tackles the US commitment to global leadership as one of central problems of the US-Russia relations, especially at a time when Moscow’s foreign policy is increasingly marked with the concept and ideology of multipolarity and, consequently, equality in relations with the USA. The paper also addresses key components of Obama Administration Grand Strategy, such as renewing or establishing strategic partnerships with the old and new power centers in the world, and the “pivot” to Asia, and provides detailed illustration of the theoretical theses made by examples from the US-Russia relations. Finally, the paper suggests some counters for transformation of the US leadership, in order to make it more compatible with the evolution of the international system and benign for the US relations with Russia

The US-Russia relations are entering a new political season in a shape which is far from being perfect. The “reset” is over, and throughout the years 2011 and especially 2012 the relations have worsened again. Political leadership of both countries is irritated and disappointed with each other. Unlike the last four years, neither Russia nor ...

Russian-U.S. relations seem to have entered a long period of not just keen rivalry, but also confrontation. This unpleasant conclusion stems from the actual way these relations have developed recently. Already in 2012-2013 the parties were in a stalemate of utter irritation with each other, and today the interests of both countries’ elites are definitely ...

Беспорядки в Вашингтоне — хотя и яркий, но лишь один из множества признаков кризисных явлений в США. Симптоматичным может считаться гипертрофированное внимание в рамках американской внутриполитической борьбы к России, на которую нередко стремятся переложить ответственность за неудовлетворительное положение дел в стране и за ее пределами. В этих условиях переход не только Белого дома, но и ...

Громкие обещания Джо Байдена о преодолении текущего кризиса на практике столкнулись с вызовом пандемии, а также турбулентностью международной и внутренней политики. Сейчас США переживают сложный этап трансформации, который связан с ослаблением их позиций в мировой политике и экономике, а также с усугубившимися противоречиями внутреннего развития. В подобных условиях успешное осуществление заявленного плана масштабных преобразований зависит ...

Дисбалансы либеральной глобализации, пролонгированные последствия рецессии 2008–2009 гг., глубинные противоречия внутриполитического развития США привели к заметному усилению кризисных явлений в американском обществе. В этом плане приход к власти Д. Трампа, опиравшегося в немалой степени на правопопулистскую концепцию борьбы народа и элиты, и рост политической поляризации стали особенно симптоматичными. Ряд экспертов даже говорят о текущем кризисе ...

Взлет популизма в странах Запада в XXI в. стал серьезным симптомом глубинных социокультурных, экономических и политических трансформаций общества, протекающих под воздействием информационно-технологической революции, глобализации и демографических изменений. Ответной реакцией на коренные сдвиги стало усиление в западном общественном сознании страхов перед иммиграцией, потерей культурной идентичности, роботизацией рабочих мест, экономической стагнацией, коллапсом «государства всеобщего благосостояния».

Liberal politicians and other public figures are constantly making various symbolic gestures of solidarity with the anti-racist movement. Nevertheless, mass protests and riots of the African American population occur again and again, repeating almost every year. The reason is that, despite the symbolic progress of anti-racism, the economic foundation of racial oppression remains virtually intact. ...

We present four assertions that we are going to defend. First, we claim that in the sphere of international relations, political ...

Both Russia and the United States consider the Asia-Pacific as the center of the world economy and politics and assume the active presence in the region crucial for their security and economic development. They did not have such sharp contradictions there as in Europe or in the post-Soviet space. Moreover, some of their interests in ...

A conventional opinion is that Russia is trying to destroy the liberal international order. Russia indeed defies it, but also justifies its foreign policy with the liberal order’s normative frameworks and reproaches the West for not standing up to these norms. Moreover, Moscow does not present any alternative vision. Russia complains about the internal contradictions of the liberal order: sovereignty vs. ...

Предпосылками для взлета «трампизма» в США послужили специфическая политическая культура и давняя традиция популизма. Популистские настроения в обществе также подогревали глубинные экономические, социокультурные, технологические сдвиги, которые негативно отразились на положении так называемого социального слоя «лузеров глобализации». Важную роль сыграла неспособность американского консерватизма предложить обществу адекватные решения для преодоления кризисных явлений. Популизм с успехом заполнил эту ...

Данная статья рассматривает место «мягкой силы» во внешней политике США как в плане теории, так и конкретного внешнеполитического механизма. Отмечается, что в последние два десятилетия «мягкая сила» стала более востребованным инструментом в международных отношениях, так как по разным причинам использование «жесткой силы» сегодня имеет множество ограничений.
Авторы выделяют в «мягкой силе» ее пассивную (имманентную стране) и ...

The reason is that the logic of the Russian defense policy, ...
