| Summary/Abstract |
RUSSIAN-BELGIAN RELATIONS have deep historical roots. Traditionally, the trailblazers in their development were craftsmen and traders. Ever since the days of Lord Novgorod the Great, European wines, fabrics and laces have been held in great esteem. Meanwhile, those goods were brought to us by Frisian merchants from the Flemish coast. They also delivered Russian furs, flax fabrics, resin, and hemp to Western Europe.

SINCE THE FIRST SUMMIT of BRIC on June 16, 2009, its work has attracted growing international interest. And this is not surprising. The BRIC forum, whose creation was initiated by Russia, has rapidly developed into a real factor of world politics.
Today it includes five countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and the Republic of South Africa), which account for 25% of world GDP (at purchasing power parity), 30% of the territory of the Earth, and 45% of the world population.
The Third Summit of the BRICS countries held in Sanya (Hainan Island, China) on April 14, 2011, has shown a significant strengthening of the group's international positions since the previous meeting of its leaders in Brazil on April 15, 2010.

| Summary/Abstract |
The idea of writing this report emerged in a situation that, to put it mildly, was not conducive to a grand scientific and political debate over European security issues. Even though the cannonade in South Ossetia had already died down, a full-blown diplomatic exchange of fire continued between the West and Russia over the Caucasus war.

| Summary/Abstract |
FOLLOWING THE CHRONOLOGY of events, the story of the two summits that took place in Canada in late June should be started with the meeting of the G-8 leaders in Muskoka (June 25-26). However, the logic of global economic development and the changing balance of the two global forums suggest that the first to be analyzed should be the results of the G-20 summit in Toronto (June 26-27).
The summit was conceived as an intermediate one between the Pittsburgh and Seoul summits. The Canada meeting was expected to discuss mainly the implementation of the Framework for Strong, Sustainable, and Balanced Growth. However, due to a number of new financial-economic and political circumstances, its significance increased greatly and so the agenda had to be revised. There were several reasons for that.
Firstly, the sovereign debt crisis in Greece. It showed dramatically what consequences the uncontrolled growth of budget deficits and state debts in the majority of developed Western countries could have for the global economy as a whole. These debts have been accumulated over a long time but their explosive growth occurred during a crisis period, on the one hand, because of government spending on anti-crisis programs and on the other, because of shrinking budget revenues amid an economic slump.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE ST. PETERSBURG SUMMIT, which took place on September 5-6, became the culmination of the "Russian year" in the life of the G20, the main forum of international economic cooperation between its member states.
On the Eve of the Presidency
THE PROCESS of the formulation of the presidency's priorities and agenda began in the spring of 2012. The experience of our predecessors was closely studied, as was the experience of the Russian presidency at forums similar in scale and profile (the G8 in 2006, the SCO in 2008-2009 and APEC in 2012).
The definition of the presidency's priorities became a serious challenge to the Russian side. A large diversity of multi-vector trends in the development of the global economic and financial system, as well as in the evolution of the positions of the G20 participants had to be taken into consideration. There was also another factor that could not be ignored: The uneven implementation of the G20's previous decisions, which gives cause for periodic talk about the declining effectiveness of that forum and its role as one of the global governance mechanisms.

| Summary/Abstract |
ON JUNE 16, 2009, Yekaterinburg hosted the first meeting of the leaders of the BRIC nations, which laid the groundwork of a fundamentally new format for cooperation among countries.
For the first time, the major "new economies" formed an association to promote their common interests and the interests of a wide range of developing countries. Thus, from the very beginning, the BRIC member states positioned it not as a closed club to serve their own interests, but as a structure open for the outside world and acting in the interests of a wide range of states. The Yekaterinburg Statement emphasized that "the dialogue and cooperation of the BRIC countries is conducive not only to serving common interests of emerging market economies and developing countries, but also to building a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity.
