NATO must adapt to the structural imperatives of a unipolar world, or become
increasingly irrelevant. The Global NATO initiative of 2006 would have begun transformation
of NATO into a more flexible, effective, and legitimate organization. The
benefits of NATO globalization are greatest for the United States. Unipolarity means

that the United States does not need allies to ensure its security, but the United States
nevertheless receives value from the existence of a pool of capable states whose
equipment and training allow them to operate together. Unipolarity means that
other states will be more likely to bandwagon with the United States than to
balance against it; laundering that cooperation through an institution can enhance
those other states' influence. A NATO expanded to include states that share
common interests with the United States, acting in more flexible coalitions rather
than always as a whole, would meet these goals. It would also be more effective
and legitimate as an organization, since it would include greater military resources
from a more diverse collection of countries

| Summary/Abstract |
It is an exceptional thing when a person lives for a hundred years. And Dmitry Fyodorovich's whole life, a bright and highly-charged pageant of events and activities, which has spanned a century, has been exceptional.
Right after the war, engineer Safonov was recruited into the diplomatic service. He did not have to wait long to find himself in the thick of things. In 1946, he, along with his family, went to work at the UN Secretariat as a foreign civil servant. Everything was new, unfamiliar, for the first time. And not only for him and his family: the life of a vast international structure was being formed and organized.

| Summary/Abstract |
The decline in the United States' relative position is in part a consequence of the burdens and susceptibilities produced by unipolarity. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, the U.S. position both internationally and domestically may actually be strengthened once this period of unipolarity has passed.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY of the Victory over Nazism in the Great Patriotic War and World War II, which we celebrated this year, is the most important event for the entire international community. The titanic efforts of the Red Army and the Soviet people and the military victories of the allied forces saved the world from the Nazi plague and ensured firm guarantees of stable democratic development for the majority of modern states.

| Summary/Abstract |
The global defense-industrial sector reflects the hierarchy of power in the post-Cold War world. As in the larger international system, the United States plays the dominant role in the defense sector as well. It is a comparative advantage often used by US policymakers to influence the foreign policy behavior of other states. Curiously, the radical concentration of the world's defense industrial sector, as described here, has received relatively little scrutiny from either academia or the media, even though it not only reflects the international order but provides the United States with considerable leverage in it.

| Summary/Abstract |
No state should have a greater stake in preserving the international system than its hegemon. Yet, the United States is behaving more like a revolutionary state than a status quo power. Why? The answer transcends both September 11 and President Bush himself

| Summary/Abstract |
THROUGHOUT the last three decades, the system of international relations has changed beyond recognition. Classical bipolarity has become a fact of history while the world has become aware of paradoxes of globalization and transformation of world politics. On the one hand, the human community has become an indivisible and interconnected whole. Globalization suggests cooperation in the face of common problems; adoption of common norms and rules of conduct in world politics; improvement of the old and creation of new efficient international institutions. On the other hand, globalization, responsible for the uneven development pace and emergence of a vanguard group of states and transnational forces (including the TNCs) which enjoys all the advantages offered by globalization, exacerbates a wide range of problems and causes grave economic and political crises and social upheavals.

| Summary/Abstract |
For the past two decades, the American political imagination has been possessed by a hazardous geopolitical vision; the United States is defined as the dominant power in a closely integrated and 'unipolar' international system. A century of history has done much to encourage this view. Americans have trouble realising how revolutionary and threatening their unipolar vision can appear to others. A world system dominated by one superpower is a bold and radical programme. If successful, it would mean, for the first time in modern history, a world without a general balance of power. Pursuing such a goal implies numerous confrontations with other nations. It antagonises both states that fear decline and those that anticipate improvement. Nevertheless, Americans now find it difficult to entertain any other view of the world. They have been slow to see, let alone accept, what to many others seems a more probable and desirable future - a plural world with several centres of power
