Abstract

Post-communist Russia turned against the West in the 2000s, losing its earlier eagerness to collaborate with western Europe on economic and security matters and adopting a suspicious and defensive posture. This book investigates a diplomatic negotiation involving Russia and formerly Soviet Moldova, explaining this shift in Russian foreign policy.

Abstract

"Now fully updated and revised, this clear and comprehensive text explores contemporary Soviet/Russian international relations, comparing foreign policy formation under Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Medvedev, and Putin. Challenging conventional views of Moscow's foreign policy, Andrei Tsygankov shows that definitions of national interest depend on visions of national identity and are rooted both in history and domestic politics. Yet the author also highlights the role of the external environment in affecting the balance of power among competing domestic groups. Drawing on both Russian and Western sources, Tsygankov traces how Moscow's policies have shifted under different leaders' visions of Russia's national interests. He gives an overview of the ideas and pressures that motivated Russian foreign policy in six different periods: the Gorbachev era of the late 1980s, the liberal “Westernizers” era under Kozyrev in the early 1990s, the relatively hardline statist policy under Primakov, the more pragmatic course of limited cooperation under Putin and then Medvedev, and the assertive policy Putin has implemented since his return to power. Evaluating the successes and failures of Russian foreign policies, Tsygankov explains its many turns as Russia's identity and interaction with the West have evolved. The book concludes with reflections on the emergence of the post-Western world and the challenges it presents to Russia's enduring quest for great power status along with its desire for a special relationship with Western nations."--Amazon.com.

Abstract

Personnage sulfureux et enigmatique, le president russe Vladimir Poutine a engage depuis quelques annees une veritable bataille ideologique contre l'Occident. A l'appui de quelques-uns des discours cles de Poutine, ce livre met en evidence l'opposition ideologique et culturelle entre deux 'mondes' separes par un abime infranchissable : un modele assis sur le liberalisme et l'universalisme d'un cote; un modele fonde sur la tradition et la souverainete de l'autre. Deux conceptions distinctes de l'homme, de l'individu, de la nation, de la religion et de la conduite des relations internationales s'opposent a travers ces deux modeles. Ce livre n'a pas la pretention de dire qui a raison et qui a tort, ni de refaire vingt ans apres 'Le Choc des civilisations' de Huntington. Il invite a s'interroger sur la part de verite que contient le discours anti-occidental de Poutine. Car nous interesser a ce que dit Poutine, c'est aussi nous confronter a nos propres errances et renoncements.

Abstract

Entre peur et admiration, Vladimir Poutine, président de la Russie, ne laisse personne indifférent. Allié ou ennemi, ou les deux à la fois, l'homme qui, en secret, rêve d'être un nouveau tsar, fascine. Au fil des années, la méfiance et la peur ont remplacé les espoirs mutuels de dialogue ; chacun a renoué avec les vieux réflexes de la Guerre froide. Mais, orphelines de la base idéologique du passé, les relations se sont personnalisées au point que Vladimir Poutine est désormais perçu comme l'initiateur d'un pôle anti-occidental qui menace nos valeurs. Pour décrypter Poutine et les réactions qu'il suscite, il fallait une vision et une analyse fortes du courant qui porte son nom, le "poutinisme". Ce livre s'attache donc à dévoiler et à expliquer les différents éléments qui alimentent cette peur et in fine le rejet viscéral du "poutinisme". Il propose une analyse nouvelle des étapes de la construction de son ascension depuis 1999, l'évolution de sa conception du pouvoir et les moyens qu'il met en œuvre pour replacer la Russie au cœur de la politique mondiale. Sans oublier ses contradictions et l'évolution de son image aujourd'hui déplorable aux yeux des Occidentaux - tandis que les Russes s'exaspèrent, eux, de l'attitude occidentale.

Abstract

"The Russian international media outlet Russia Today (RT) has been widely accused in the Western world of producing government propaganda and conspiracy theories. This book explores for the first time what role conspiracy theories actually play in the network's broadcasts. More than this, it provides the first ever study of how the Russian government engages with conspiracy theories in the international arena, with a particular focus on the use of conspiracy theories as an instrument of public diplomacy. RT was established in 2005 to represent Russia to the world, and to present a Russian perspective on global events. Whilst some of RT's more overtly conspiratorial output has been taken off the air, the network remains a source of significant concern for governments and intelligence agencies in Europe and North America. Now, more than ever, policymakers, journalists, academics and intelligence services alike seek to understand the role RT plays in the Russian government's foreign policy agenda. The authors use RT as a case study to investigate how global communication technologies influence the development and dissemination of conspiracy theories, which are also an important component of the post-Soviet Russian intellectual landscape and Kremlin-sponsored political discourse. This book will appeal to students and scholars of Politics and International Relations, Russian Studies, and Conspiracy Theories"--

Abstract

"This book examines Russia's 'information war, ' one of the most striking features of its intervention in Ukraine. Marcel H. Van Herpen argues that the Kremlin's propaganda offensive is a carefully prepared strategy, implemented and tested over the last decade. Initially intended as a tool to enhance Russia's soft power, it quickly developed into one of the main instruments of Russia's new imperialism, reminiscent of the height of the Cold War. The author describes a multifaceted strategy that makes use of diverse instruments, including mimicking Western public diplomacy initiatives, hiring Western public-relations firms, setting up front organizations, buying Western media outlets, financing political parties, organizing a worldwide propaganda offensive through the Kremlin's cable network RT, and publishing paid supplements in leading Western newspapers. In this information war, key roles are assigned to the Russian diaspora and the Russian Orthodox Church, the latter focused on spreading so-called traditional values and attacking universal human rights and Western democracy in international fora. Van Herpen demonstrates that the Kremlin's propaganda machine plays not only a central role in its 'hybrid war' in Ukraine, but that it also has broader international objectives, targeting in particular Europe's two leading countries--France and Germany--with the goal of forming a geopolitical triangle, consisting of a Moscow-Berlin-Paris axis, intended to roll back the influence of NATO and the United States in Europe. Drawing on years of research, Van Herpen shows how the Kremlin has built an array of soft power instruments and transformed them into effective weapons in a new information war with the West"--Provided by publisher.
