Diplomacy After the Procedure. Why Foreign Policy Will Require Figures of a Special Kind
Russia in Global Affairs. 2022. Vol. 20. No. 2. P. 38-53.
What is the role of diplomacy in the crucial moments of international politics? As a rule, diplomacy gives way to the individual ability of leaders to objectively assess the balance of power and make decisions on the basis of such assessments. Filled with nostalgia, we look at the 19th century or the second half of the Cold War era as the triumph of diplomatic art. But this was nothing more than the result of the greatest stability ever in relations between the key powers, which rested on the order recognized by all. But the foundation of this order began to crumble due to the evolution of its constituent living organisms—states, and then even the most advanced diplomatic skills faced insurmountable difficulties.

The era of the Westphalian world order has passed. But the hope associated with its ending that the phenomenon of war will disappear (as it is no longer an acceptable political instrument) was erroneous. The clashes we see today in Syria, Yemen or Libya look like a return to the Thirty Years’ War. ...

Since his rise to power in 2000 Vladimir Putin has had two major priorities: ‘control’ at home and ‘sovereignty’ on the world scene. The importance of these two priorities has not eclipsed other goals, such as economic development, but the latter has always been secondary to the foremost priorities cited above.
