Revisiting Moscow’s support for the establishment of Israel / Yu, Xiao; Ji, Zeng

Yu, Xiao	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Examination of recently declassified documents in the Russian and Israeli archives reveals that Moscow’s support for the establishment of the state of Israel was largely designed to sustain the World War II cooperation with Washington, which also supported the creation of a Jewish state. With the advent of the Cold War, the Soviets maintained their support due to the belief that the US’s immersion in the regional tensions attending Israel’s continued existence would greatly relieve its military pressure on the Soviet Union in Europe.

What can the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and China bring to Post-2014 Afghanistan? / Fei, Gao; Yu, Xiao

Fei, Gao	Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Amid the reduction of US forces in Afghanistan, the search for solutions to the Afghanistan security conundrum calls for regional coordination. Despite limited achievements in the past, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) may be an important contributor to stability in Afghanistan. The SCO brings together powerful regional players (Russia and China) and important neighboring states whose strategic interests are intertwined in Afghanistan. All of them are potential stakeholders in providing regional solutions. In this article we suggest that the role of the SCO would lie in not only regionalizing Afghanistan policymaking but also promoting the country's integration into a regional framework of common interests.
