Cluster of civilizations / Khoros, Vladimir   Journal Article
Khoros, Vladimir Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The time is ripe for delving into how civilizations are getting along and keeping in touch with each other in the global era. In looking for the causes of multiplying conflicts it is not enough to point to global economic and geopolitical contradictions alone. The civilizational aspect is crucial as well. It aroused particularly keen interest in the last quarter of the twentieth century. In Russia, this interest stemmed largely from the need to refurbish the less attractive theory of social formations or replace it with something more relevant. Samuel Huntington's article (subsequently a book) played a big role in invigorating the civilizational discourse. His initiative induced the emergence of quite a few meaningful works on the problems of civilizations in many countries, including Russia.

Ideology as a factor in deterrence / Pry, Peter Vincent   Journal Article
Pry, Peter Vincent Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract History is replete with examples of deterrence failure and war occurring unexpectedly, taking nations by surprise, because of failure to comprehend an adversary's ideology. The modern world has been shaped by failure to comprehend the ideologically driven aggression of Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, Soviet communism, and Islamic jihadism. The Soviet "war scare" during NATO's nuclear exercise ABLE ARCHER-83 exemplifies how ideology could cause deterrence failure and even nuclear war. Understanding the ideology of potential adversaries must be part of any informed deterrence strategy. U.S. overconfidence in deterrence theory, which is itself an ideological belief system, could contribute to deterrence failure.

Perception of Russia in the world: how non-ideological images of countries determine international relations / Primakov, Yevgeny   Journal Article
Primakov, Yevgeny Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The end of the Cold War did not put a stop to the confrontation between ideas and perceptions. The clash continues in various forms and in different situations across the board, but it has lost - and I would like to emphasize this - the mainstream nature of ideological clashes as a key factor determining global development.

Summary/Abstract In 1900, in his “Address to the Nations of the World” at the first Pan-African Conference, in London, W. E. B. Du Bois proclaimed that the “problem of the twentieth century” was “the problem of the color-line, the question as to how far differences of race—which show themselves chiefly in the color of the skin and the texture of the hair—will hereafter be made the basis of denying to over half the world the right of sharing to their utmost ability the opportunities and privileges of modern civilization.

Russian orthodox church in the modern world / Alexy, Patriarch II   Journal Article
Alexy, Patriarch II Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract THE INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY of the Russian Orthodox Church today has four main areas of development. The first priority is to preserve the unity of the Church and ensure the spiritual life of the extensive church diaspora living outside the canonical territory of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). The second priority is to develop fraternal relations with all local Orthodox churches. The third priority is of a religious-public nature, and it is to maintain dialogue with other Christian confessions and organizations, as well as with representatives of Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism on matters relating to the preservation of moral values in the modern world. Finally, the fourth priority could be defined as the ROC's cooperation with the foreign policy agencies of various states, as well as with international public and interstate organizations in the interest of preserving peace and the fundamental values of public life. Presently, the ROC is the largest local church in the Orthodox world. Orthodoxy is not an ethnic religion of Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Moldovans or other peoples. It is global Christianity committed to preserving apostolic faith. It is open to the individual of any ethnic background. The church is a living and tangible embodiment of this principle, since it comprises representatives of numerous nationalities. The ethnic diversity of the Russian Orthodox Church is a source of its vitality and its weal. One important goal of the Moscow Patriarchy is to preserve and uphold church unity, which is currently being confronted with some challenges. The unity of the church, bequeathed by the apostles, is a great value and should be appreciated as such not only by the bishops but also by each cleric and lay person. Church unity is the treasure that our predecessors preserved despite the ordeals that they had had to go through. This gift, augmented over centuries, cannot be dissipated overnight for the sake of time serving political considerations. Unfortunately, presently, there are ongoing attempts to destroy the sacred space of Holy Rus', created by St. Prince Vladimir, and spread discord and disharmony between millions of Orthodox Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Moldovans, and representatives of other ethnic groups comprising the multiethnic flock of the Russian Orthodox Church
