Russian Grand Strategy: Why It Stalls in Relations with India
Russia in Global Affairs. 2023. Vol. 21. No. 1. P. 174–198.
Grand strategy studies continue to expand as more attempts are being made to bring clarity to its theoretical conceptualization and distinguish it from other, narrower conceptual approaches to policy-making. This article applies some of the theoretical findings from a recent study of Russia’s grand strategy to the analysis of the country’s policy towards the Asia-Pacific. This conceptualization is then used to explore the India-Russia bilateral relationship in order to define the causes of its current stagnation. The paper argues that the non-implementation of the Russian grand strategy in the Asia-Pacific is one of the reasons for the inertia in Moscow’s “special and privileged strategic partnership” with New Delhi.

Both phenomena are governed by equations of the form y = C/(2027 ...

Since 2022, the Kremlin has revised its foreign policy priorities. Russia’s traditional Western partners have been designated as “unfriendly countries,” and Moscow has increasingly focused on intensifying rapprochement with states in the Global South, with Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), as the US’ closest neighbors, occupying a special place in this strategy.

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 ...
