Summary/Abstract |
Within the scholarly debate on the current power transition in the international system, particular importance is attached to China's economic rise and the global shifts it is bringing forth in material primacy. A thorough understanding of these shifts in the relative distribution of power, however, requires leaving the narrow path of material capabilities and looking at normative accounts as well. Taking up this challenge, the article focuses on the political dimension of China's rise by exploring the country's alignment with South American governments along two dimensions: the convergence of their foreign policy ideas and the provision of diplomatic links facilitating their cooperation and coordination in global politics. The empirical analysis depicts a nascent global agenda forming between China and certain South American countries and shows that, along with growing levels of foreign policy compatibility, China has also advanced its diplomatic inroads into the region, particularly at the level of bilateral relations. Taking these developments as a whole, it is suggested that China has gained international attraction in terms of its visions of global order and as a potential political partner throughout the region. The article concludes with a discussion of the findings in light of the ongoing relative shifts in the distribution of global power beyond material primacy, and the prospects for China's further political rise.

Summary/Abstract |
A COMPREHENSIVE AND OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS of the political significance of the new Russian-U.S. strategic arms reduction treaty ought to be based on the understanding that this agreement means much more to the Russian Federation than just another disarmament project. We worked consistently to align the treaty with Russia's conceptual approaches toward international security cooperation. It is in the context of these approaches that the document, signed on April 8 of this year in Prague, should be considered. In this connection it would be logical to start off with an overview of the foreign policy philosophy underlying the Russian efforts in the security sphere, including the New START Treaty.

Summary/Abstract |
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, on August 1, 1975, the famous Helsinki agreements on security and cooperation in Europe were signed, ushering in a new era of cooperation between the European countries with different social systems. These agreements, which enshrined the inviolability of the European borders, reaffirmed the immutability of the results of World II and the 1945 Potsdam Conference. The nations participating in the Helsinki negotiations (35 in all) developed a code of principles that the European States were to follow in their relations and also laid down the groundwork for transparency and trust between the States of the "Western" and "Eastern" blocs in the military sphere. In particular, the text of the Helsinki Final Act incorporated documents on advance notice of major military exercises and other confidence-building measures, which subsequently played a key role in the evolution of the European security system.

Summary/Abstract |
This article will concentrate on two main themes. First, it will focus on the fears and suspicions in Middle Eastern and, particularly, Arab countries regarding the future of the Arab world and the Middle East in general and what are viewed as Western projects for that region. Second, it will discuss the political ability and preparedness of regional players to set up viable structures for regional security and cooperation. In conclusion, it will put forward some questions which, from a European perspective, seem to demand answers from today’s political and intellectual elites in the Middle East.
