Beschrijving
This course analyses the complexity of international relations and foreign policy in modern Russia. It is thematic and theoretical, where appropriate tracing themes and developments since the Soviet era. At the same time, the course requires a high degree of awareness of contemporary events in Russia and the world. It begins by studying Russia as it has emerged from the rubble of the USSR as a regional power and a putative global actor. It focuses in particular on relations with the EU, NATO, the United States and China. The course moves on to study Russia’s relations with other republics in post-Soviet Eurasia – the so-called ‘near abroad’ from Ukraine to Uzbekistan. Also discussed is the emergence of regional integration projects and security challenges in Russia and Eurasia.
