Summary/Abstract |
Eurasian Economic Union which was set up on 1st January 2015 has emerged as a major regional organization comprising of five states namely Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. Looking back, credit should be given to the president of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbaev who in 1994 suggested the idea of creating a “Eurasian Union” during his speech at Moscow State University.

Summary/Abstract |
An informal remark by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made last year that there can be no "business as usual" with the West any more is a belated statement of fact. It reflects only one aspect of the fundamental transformations taking place in the world. Naturally, Russia's foreign policy cannot but respond to these changes, not just ad hoc but doctrinally.

Summary/Abstract |
The current chill in East-West relations has, according to perceptions on both sides, one prominent victim: the special German-Russian relationship, which has developed since the end of the Cold War and which in many respects started even earlier. Viewed from Moscow's perspective, it may appear as if Germany has become an integral part of a unified Western front or, worse still, that Germany took on a leading role in the formation of this unified Western stance confronting Russia. According to this perception, a combination of moral principles and geostrategic interests has replaced the pragmatism that for decades prevailed in the German Ostpolitik.

Summary/Abstract |
Russia’s “Asian pivot” remains focused on China, despite energetic Russian diplomacy in 2018 vis-à-vis Japan and India. The benefits of the enlargement of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation to include Pakistan and India remained unclear, and the overlapping memberships of regional organizations highlighted the challenges for security and economic cooperation in Central Asia.
