India's multi-alignment management and the Russia–India–China (RIC) triangle / O'Donnell, Frank; Papa, Mihaela   Journal Article
Papa, Mihaela Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In its Eurasian diplomacy toward Russia and China, India has preferred to engage these states bilaterally and through the Brazil–Russia–India–China–South Africa (BRICS) and Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) multilateral alignments. By contrast, India views the Russia–India–China (RIC) triangle as a less effective mechanism. However, despite its ongoing militarized crisis with China in the spring/summer of 2020, India surprisingly agreed to participate in a meeting of RIC foreign ministers and initiate RIC defence ministers' engagements. India also initiated the revival of RIC summits in 2018. This article analyzes the drivers for India's recent shift toward enhancing RIC. Drawing upon Indian policy statements and alignment documents, the article firstly argues that India generates policy agenda overlaps across RIC, BRICS and SCO, which facilitate forum-shopping. Introducing the case-study of Indian counterterrorism diplomacy across the three alignments, the article secondly argues that Indian dissatisfaction with its progress in advancing a security policy agenda within one grouping leads it to refocus on building this agenda in alternative alignments. This article contributes to conceptualizing multi-alignment management, while providing new insights into Indian relations with Russia and China within multilateral institutions and diplomacy in the era of regime complexity.

Petro-RMB? The oil trade and the internationalization of the renminbi / Kamel, Maha ; Wang, Hongying   Journal Article
Wang, Hongying Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In this article, we examine China's promotion of the renminbi (RMB) in international oil trade and explore its implications for the international currency system in the short and the long term. The article traces the rise of the RMB in international oil trade in recent years and provides an analysis of its impact on the internationalization of the Chinese currency. We argue that despite the increasing use of the yuan in oil trade in recent years, in the short term it is highly unlikely that a petro-RMB system will emerge to rival the petrodollar system. Unlike the petrodollar, which combines the qualities of a master currency, a top currency and a negotiated currency, China lacks the economic leadership and the political and geopolitical leverages to make the RMB a major petrocurrency. Although the emergence of the RMB-denominated Shanghai oil futures is an important development, the absence of highly developed financial markets and a strong legal system in China hinders its potential. In the long run, the RMB may take on a more prominent role in the international oil trade as China's weight as an oil importer rises. More importantly, the overuse of financial sanctions by the US government has begun to undermine the role of the dollar within and beyond the oil trade. In addition, the rise of alternative energy sources will diminish the centrality of oil in the world economy, thus reducing the significance of petrocurrencies—whether the dollar or the RMB—in shaping the international currency system.

Russian responses to the changing character of war / Renz , Bettina   Journal Article
Renz , Bettina Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract For much of the post-Soviet era there was a widespread belief that improving capabilities required for dealing with local small wars and insurgencies was the central focus of Russian military reforms. As a result, Moscow's military assertiveness and return to geopolitical rivalries since 2014 came as a surprise to many in the West. The article argues that small wars were never the major focus of Russian military transformation and reforms. Tracing the country's experience of war and conflict regionally and internationally since the end of the Cold War, and the impact this had on Moscow's views on what kind of armed forces it required, the article shows that the Kremlin's military ambitions started to diverge dramatically from western expectations as early as the mid-1990s. Russia never really saw armed forces geared towards small and ‘new war’-type scenarios as sufficient for upholding its regional and international status ambitions. Moreover, the Kremlin's growing preoccupation with internal order and regime stability has increasingly reinforced the rhetoric of a hostile West, which is used to justify the increasing centralization of domestic politics. Russia's military revival has been long in the making and poses serious challenges to its neighbours and to the West.

We can’t go on living like this / Barrass, Gordon   Journal Article
Barrass, Gordon Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Mikhail Gorbachev wanted to revitalise the moribund Soviet system by giving socialism a ‘human face’, thereby securing for his country an honourable place in the vanguard of world history. Even though this Tolstoyan undertaking ended in Shakespearean tragedy, horrendous slaughter was avoided and great things were achieved.

Welfare in Russia and Eurasia in the Context of the COVID-19 PandemicWalker, Charlie / Walker, Charlie   Journal Article
Walker, Charlie Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The post-Soviet era began with wide-ranging economic and institutional dislocations that had an enormous impact on the lives of most people in the societies affected. In the first years of the 1990s, poverty, morbidity and mortality rates grew to unprecedented levels, as birth rates declined (Haub Citation1994). While few escaped the consequences of the collapse of state socialism, it was clear that certain groups were especially marginalised in the new market environment (Field & Twigg Citation2000). The children of the poor, children and young people in state institutions, people with physical and mental disabilities, the elderly and economic migrants travelling to other countries in search of work, came to experience new levels of social exclusion, as neither the remnants of Soviet welfare states nor the new market economy provided them with social security.
