Summary/Abstract |
Assuming the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is ratified and enters into force, the question will be, "What next?" Speaking in Prague in April 2009, President Barack Obama called for reducing the role and number of nuclear weapons and articulated the goal of a world free of nuclear arms, albeit only when certain conditions are met. He and his Russian counterpart, President Dmitry Medvedev, have agreed to a step-by-step process for reducing nuclear weapons.

Summary/Abstract |
THE PEACE AND SECURITY INSTITUTES of Europe have changed a lot during the two post-Cold War decades yet its image of the most peaceful continent with a stable security architecture is a gross overstatement. There is a mounting concern among some of the European countries with the NATO-centered system or, at least, with some of its aspects. NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia was one of such debatable issues; the NATO members procrastinated far too long in ratifying the adjusted CFE Treaty until Russia suspended its implementation of the Treaty. The 2008 armed conflict around South Ossetia just added tension to the far from simple situation.

Summary/Abstract |
The 70th anniversary of the common victory of the Armed Forces of the U.S.S.R. and the Mongolian People's Republic over the troops of militarist Japan and its puppet state Manchou-Go on the Khalkhyn Gol River in Eastern Mongolia was marked in August 2009. A number of functions were arranged in Russia and Mongolia devoted to this memorable date. It was not accidental that the first official visit of the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to Mongolia was timed to the celebration of the anniversary. While handing Russian awards to Mongolian veterans Dmitry Medvedev noted that the peoples of Russia and Mongolia "would always remember our alliance and cooperation in battle and those who defeated the aggressor, upheld the territorial integrity of Mongolia and, ultimately, contributed to the rout of the enemy in the Second World War.

The concept articulates the following main goals that guide its foreign policy activities, a mega task for which is to aid internal development by foreign policy resources. So it was under Peter I, under Alexander II and so the question stands at present.

Summary/Abstract |
EVERY NATION has its own particular national features, but an important and unifying trait of each and every one of them is respect for its ancestors and the solicitous preservation of their memory, particularly if we are talking about those who died for their homeland. Addressing a sitting of "Pobeda" (Victory) Organizational Committee on 27 January, 2009, President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev noted the special significance of the war memorial effort and care of the burial sites and memorials of the war dead, pointing out that this is the shared task and responsibility of all the government bodies.

Summary/Abstract |
THE NEW CHALLENGES at the start of the new century and the challenging tasks in the realm of international relations in conditions of globalization make Russia's cultural ties increasingly important. Clearly global competition is getting a culture-and-civilization dimension. Globalization processes entail more than interpenetrating and mutually enriching cultures, and they also often endanger the cultural uniqueness of some countries and peoples. The threat of fault lines developing between civilizations calls for collective efforts to start cultural dialogues. Of ever greater importance in this context is to preserve cultural heritage and make greater use of cultural resources in the foreign policy arena.
When he addressed a conference of Russia's ambassadors and permanent representatives to international organizations, President Dmitry Medvedev stressed that "with all the sharp differences in the world arena, there is a clear desire to harmonize relations, establish dialogue and reduce conflicts."1 We should note in this connection that humanitarian cooperation is one of the most effective means to establish dialogue between civilizations, reach accord and understanding among nations, and to end confrontation in the world. It is culture and humanitarian aspects that are increasingly influencing, in the final analysis, the shaping of a modern-day multi-center system of global management and giving it a sense of direction.

Summary/Abstract |
TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK about the fundamental issues of contemporary diplomacyits subject and method. Ours is the time of sweeping transformations which call for profound comprehension, otherwise the diplomacy of any state might lose its contacts with reality and, therefore, its efficiency of a foreign policy instrument. The examples are too recent to be neglected.

Summary/Abstract |
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS and Srecko Djukic, a prominent Serbian diplomat and man of letters, have been maintaining strong friendly ties. As a member of Serbia's embassy staff in Moscow during several years in the past he used to come to our office for interviews and discussions on political and literary subjects which were always interesting. Dr. Djukic has been posted since as Serbia's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Minsk, the Republic of Belarus. From Minsk, he was sending us his articles that appeared in the journal. His latest book VRéME ENERGIJE. Više od Diplomatije [ENERGY TIME. More than Diplomacy] was recently published in Belgrade. This is a revealing view of a diplomat on the pressing subject. We agreed with the ambassador for an interview to cover the issues raised in his book and other aspects of European and international power industry.

Summary/Abstract |
PRESIDENTS Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama in their joint statement signed on June 18, 2012 at Los Cabos, Mexico, in the margins of the summit of the G20 acknowledged differences in assessments of the missile defense issue in Russian-American relations. For several years, it was a persistent stumbling block to the politico-military agenda of the two mightiest nuclear powers. Still, both parties agreed to "continue a joint search for solutions to challenges in the field of missile defense.

Summary/Abstract |
A. I. Denisov: Mr. Obama has completed his initial period in office as president of the United States. To be more accurate, nine of 48 months of his first presidential term have passed. It is a considerable period, and as far as we know, the basic parameters of US policy, the policy of the Democratic administration, have already been finalized or are close to finalization. This also applies to its policy with regard to Russia. On the one hand, it is too soon to sum up the first results of the "resetting" of relations, because the "resetting" process continues, going through a fairly active phase. On the other hand, something definitive has already been accomplished. This refers primarily to the climate, the atmosphere of our relations. One should not underestimate this apparently immaterial factor, because only a favorable atmosphere makes it possible to conduct constructive dialogue aimed at achieving what in political science is known as a "win-win" formula - i.e., a situation that is advantageous to both sides.

Summary/Abstract |
THE WORLD FINANCIAL and economic crisis has brought out the great interdependence of national economies under globalization conditions. Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev has noted that under the circumstances "we all become hostages to changes in the macroeconomic parameters of the world's largest economies. In order to see this coming well in advance, we must commit ourselves to studying the situations in our respective countries."1 The idea for mutual monitoring of the state of affairs in national economies was one of the important decisions of the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh in September 2009.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper builds upon previous research on American state-of-the-union addresses and Russian geopolitics by examining how the Kremlin has represented Russia's geographic and geopolitical position in the post-Soviet era. It analyses presidential addresses to the Federal Assembly from 2000 to 2011, a period encompassing Vladimir Putin's first two terms as president and the single term of Dmitry Medvedev. In addition to exploring general trends evident in these speeches, this paper also provides in-depth analyses of three major themes: Russia's civilisational identity, the state of the international system and Russia's role within it, and global economics. We find that the legacies of the Cold War-era perceptions of threat, as well as dissatisfaction with the Cold War's resolution, remain salient in these speeches. However, there is some movement toward a broadening of Russia's cognitive map.

Project MUSE - World Policy Journal - New Capitols of Capital Project MUSE Journals World Policy Journal Volume 28, Number 1, Spring 2011 New Capitols of Capital World Policy Journal Volume 28, Number 1, Spring 2011 E-ISSN: 1936-0924 Print ISSN: 0740-2775 Sub-Article from New Capitols of Capital Moscow:Overcoming a Bad Rap Featuring Miriam Elder on Moscow Return to Article The skyscrapers of Moskva-Citi loom over Soviet-era Moscow like gleaming beacons beckoning a new era. The cluster of high-rises, Moscow's answer to La Defense or Canary Wharf, was born of the pre-financial crisis oil boom, when Russia was keen to use its newfound wealth to catapult itself to the forefront of the global economy. Times have changed, but Moscow's ambitions have not. Dmitry Medvedev, the soft-spoken president who has sought to make subtle liberalization the hallmark of his presidency, first seized upon the idea of transforming the Russian capital into a global financial center two years ago. In recent months, the effort has taken center stage. "Major changes have taken place in Russian society and the Russian economy," Medvedev said in Davos earlier this year, pitching his idea of Moscow as the newest global financial capital to the World Economic Forum. "We are developing and we are moving ahead." Moscow's rapid transformation from the starved center of Soviet demise to the bustling capital of uber-capitalist Russia has produced a sort of urban shock. The gridlocked...
