Russia and the U.S.: A Long Confrontation?
Russia in Global Affairs. 2014. No. 3.
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 in a conflict. All of us will now have to live in a new reality. It is essential that the confrontation does not degenerate into a direct military clash, which, as we all know from the experience of the Cold War from 1945-1991, can threaten everyone’s existence.

Although the US-Russia relations are hardly the central axis of contemporary International Relations, the systemic confrontation between Moscow and Washington, which began in 2014, will become a decisive factor for the emerging international order. This confrontation was caused by factors much deeper than a mere clash of national interests in Ukraine or Syria. It became ...

Despite relative normalization of the US-Russia dialogue in early 2013 and their impressive cooperation on Syria and Iran later that year, the relations on the whole remain extremely fragile, volatile and at the same time stagnant. Their traditional agenda, based on arms control, is crumbling; leadership is both countries is not regarding positive US-Russian partnership ...

The Russian-U.S. confrontation provoked by the Ukrainian crisis is most often viewed as a purely regional phenomenon. However, its roots are much deeper than the problems faced by Ukraine; its nature is much more complex than the ongoing geopolitical struggle for that country; and its consequences affect the United States’ relations with other centers of ...

The paper argues that while the current model of US-Russian relations, which the author defines as “selective cooperation against the background of strategic deterrence”, fully reflects their historic narrative and corresponds to the current preferences of the political establishments on both sides, it does not correspond to the major trends of global economy and international ...

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 ...

Russian-American relations have started to acquire the features of mature confrontation and took a stratigically important, although not central, place in the International system. By some aspects they approximated the previous COld war, but they have finally lost the central meaning for al least one of the sides - the United States. However, they have ...

Modern day politicians often refer to historical memory in order to construct and/or adjust foreign
policy. The analysis of historical memory as one of the tools for constructing foreign policy narratives
is attracting increasing scientifi c interest in the study of international relations. Under conditions

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 ...

U.S. foreign policy is entering an era of change—the most significant since the Truman administration. The cause of such changes lies in the discrepancy between the U.S. foreign policy consensus reached at that time and forged in the 1990s, and the current (and, most likely, future) global trends. The departure from the current consensus is ...

Missed Opportunities: Could a U.S.-Russian Dialogue on Asia Pacific Have Prevented the New Cold War?
Suslov D., Asian Politics and Policy 2018 Vol. 10 No. 4 P. 655-676
A U.S.-Russian dialogue on the Asia Pacific could have become a vital pillar of cooperation and helped sustain the bilateral relations through their deterioration in 2011 and especially since 2014. This is due to the importance of the Asia Pacific to both Russia and the United States, the lower incidence of serious contradictions between them in this region ...

Although US-Russia relations are far from being at the center of the general world politica agenda, the newly begun US-Russia confrontation is the sharpest and most important round of struggle for a new international order since the end of the Cold war.

In April, Russia continued to argue that the politicization of Russian-American relations from its side, specifically from the beginning of this year, was in the past, and its policy towards the United States would be pragmatic, based on national interests. The main evidence of this was the speech of the elected President of Russia Vladimir ...

Russian foreign policy is undergoing an almost constant dynamic transformation. From the confrontation of the Cold War it plunged into an attempt to integrate with the West. A continuous disregard of Russia’s security concerns and numerous illegitimate West-led interventions failed this eagerness. Then Russia is basing its policy on the assumption that the new world ...
