Book excerpt: In the most detailed study to date of the emerging international political economy of the former Soviet Union, Economic Interdependence in Ukrainian-Russian Relations analyzes the intractable economic dilemmas facing Russia's neighbors, and shows how economic interdependence has become the key axis for the pursuit of power politics in the region. Ukraine's quest for complete political autonomy from Russia is in tension with the deep economic interdependence between the two countries, and Ukraine's leaders have found that pursuit of three key goals—sovereignty, prosperity, and security—often conflict with one another. While the years since independence have seen Ukraine consolidate its sovereignty, prosperity remains elusive and there remains no long-term strategy for maintaining Ukraine's political economy.

Download or read book West Russia Relations in Light of the Ukraine Crisis written by Riccardo Alcaro and published by Edizioni Nuova Cultura. This book was released on 2015 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of Russia’s annexation of Crimea and destabilization of Ukraine, West-Russia relations have so dramatically deteriorated that talk of a new Cold War has become routine. NATO’s role in Europe is again in the spotlight, with experts and policymakers pondering whether the Alliance needs to go back to its historical roots and re-calibrate itself as an instrument of defence from and containment of Russia. At the same time, cooperation between Russia and the West has not collapsed altogether coordinate on issues such as Iran’s nuclear programme. Clearly, tensions over Ukraine are so strong that the risk of a breakdown in relations cannot be ruled out. The contributions to this volume, the result of an international conference jointly organized by the Istituto Affari Internazionali and the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings, analyze the dramatic shift in Europe’s strategic context and explore the question of whether Russia and the West can contain tensions, manage competition, and keep cooperating on issues of mutual concern.

Download or read book Russia EU Relations and the Common Neighborhood written by Irina Busygina and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining Russia–EU relations in terms of the forms and types of power tools they use, this book argues that the deteriorating relations between Russia and the EU lie in the deep differences in their preferences for the international status quo. These different approaches, combined with economic interdependence and geographic proximity, means both parties experience significant difficulties in shaping strategy and formulating agendas with regards to each other. The Russian leadership is well aware of the EU’s "authority orientation" but fails to reliably predict foreign policy at the EU level, whilst the EU realizes Russia’s "coercive orientation" in general, but cannot predict when and where coercive tools will be used next. Russia is gradually realizing the importance of authority, while the EU sees the necessity of coercion tools for coping with certain challenges. The learning process is ongoing but the basic distinction remains unchanged and so their approaches cannot be reconciled as long as both actors exist in their current form. Using a theoretical framework and case studies including Belarus, Georgia and Ukraine, Busygina examines the possibilities and constraints that arise when the "power of authority" and the "power of coercion" interact with each other, and how this interaction affects third parties.
Download or read book Swords and Sustenance written by Robert Legvold and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-02-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stability of the former Soviet states is threatened by their precarious geopolitical position within a turbulent economic and political environment. Swords and Sustenance explores the complex economic dimension of national security for two key post-Soviet countries, Belarus and Ukraine—that is, how they have dealt with the challenges posed by internal economic and political reform and their relationships with Russia and the West. The book first examines how differing commitments to economic and political reform (reform is largely absent in Belarus) affect Belarusian and Ukrainian approaches to security. It then considers the central role of Russia, and how Russian interests and policies toward Belarus and Ukraine limit the two countries' foreign and domestic policy choices. Two chapters discuss the national security implications for Belarus and Ukraine of two key economic factors in their foreign policy: energy trade (in the form of oil, gas, and pipelines) and military-industrial cooperation (including the sale of arms). Finally, the book considers the relationships of Belarus and Ukraine with regional and global institutions and explores the policies of the EU, NATO, and the United States toward Belarus and Ukraine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ukraine and Russia: A Survey of Their Economic Relations These politicians claim, on the one hand, that the inter ests of the Ukrainian people imply without any doubt their union with Russia; on the other hand, they are afraid to give to the people of Ukraine the chance of presenting their interests in an 'entirely free way. They are afraid that these people will have a Constituent Assembly, where they can discuss directly and clearly this problem whether it is to their interests to unite with Russia or to create an independent state. If these protectors of the Ukrainian people are firmly convinced that the interests of the Ukraine demand that this nation remain a part of Russia one and indivisible, why will they not listen to the free voice of the Ukrainian people in their Constituent Assembly? Then let the people of the Ukraine express their own wishes and decide their own fate. They will say where their real interests are and in what manner they intend to construct their political and economic life. And they are infinitely better qualified to say it than those who, pre tending to uphold the Ukrainian interests, are really work ing for their own.

Download or read book Russian Energy Chains written by Margarita M. Balmaceda and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia’s use of its vast energy resources for leverage against post-Soviet states such as Ukraine is widely recognized as a threat. Yet we cannot understand this danger without also understanding the opportunity that Russian energy represents. From corruption-related profits to transportation-fee income to subsidized prices, many within these states have benefited by participating in Russian energy exports. To understand Russian energy power in the region, it is necessary to look at the entire value chain—including production, processing, transportation, and marketing—and at the full spectrum of domestic and external actors involved, from Gazprom to regional oligarchs to European Union regulators. This book follows Russia’s three largest fossil-fuel exports—natural gas, oil, and coal—from production in Siberia through transportation via Ukraine to final use in Germany in order to understand the tension between energy as threat and as opportunity. Margarita M. Balmaceda reveals how this dynamic has been a key driver of political development in post-Soviet states in the period between independence in 1991 and Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. She analyzes how the physical characteristics of different types of energy, by shaping how they can be transported, distributed, and even stolen, affect how each is used—not only technically but also politically. Both a geopolitical travelogue of the journey of three fossil fuels across continents and an incisive analysis of technology’s role in fossil-fuel politics and economics, this book offers new ways of thinking about energy in Eurasia and beyond.
Download or read book Russia s Invasion of Ukraine written by Paul J. J. Welfens and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2023-01-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a cutting-edge analysis of the economic effects and challenges of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with a special focus on EU sanctions on Russian energy and Ukraine’s political relationship with the European Union in a global context. Welfens outlines key macroeconomic perspectives on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, highlighting in particular how sanctions posed by the international community will have a wider economic impact than what has so far been envisaged. The book discusses the effects of Russian gas supply boycotts against Western countries as well as global effects of an EU energy import boycott on Russia, especially for China and the Asian continent. An innovative proposal to cut electricity prices is presented. It also explores the challenges to relations between the EU, China and Russia caused by the invasion, the effects of the unfolding refugee crisis (within a post-Brexit EU), military and humanitarian aid pledges to Ukraine, and the risks of reduced multilateralism within the world economy as a direct result of the war. The book also analyses the risks and benefits of potential enlargement of the EU to integrate Ukraine as a member state. The topics covered by the book are all set within a long-run view of diplomatic and economic relations between the West, Russia and Ukraine. The factors analysed here provide a new, broader picture of the international effects of the conflict, as well as its potential implications for policy design as we enter a new global order marked by the Russo-Ukrainian war. The book will be of interest to researchers and policy-makers working in international economics, new political economy, European politics and integration, and macroeconomics more broadly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to find an interrelation between the relative inefficiency of Ukraine’s economic performance and the Russian influence throughout the years of Ukraine’s independence, aiming to prove that the years of continuous dependence of the Ukrainian market on trade with Russia might have contributed to Ukrainian’s low economic performance. In particular, the changes in the country’s economic trade policy are studied at all times since 1991 concerning the political relations with the Russian Federation as well as the recent shift in the trade partners and political allies of Ukraine. This paper regards Ukraine’s problems of forming an effective structural policy while analyzing its economic structure and the leading economic indicators, aiming to discover the economic changes in numbers and percents during particular years. The factors that negatively affect the formation of an effective structure of the Ukrainian economy in the transitional period are established. The observed changes are intended to be linked to the political events experienced by the Ukrainian society in a given period, intending to catch the Russian impact on the country. The change in the unemployment rate of Ukraine is studied, aiming to indicate gaps in Ukraine’s economic policy. The Russian-Ukrainian trade is regarded in-depth, focusing on Ukraine’s trade policy limitations to the Russian market, including the field of energy resources. The advantages and disadvantages of entering both the Eurasian Customs Union (EACU) and European Union (EU) for Ukraine are anticipated and compared. The economic impact from the current crisis within Ukraine is discussed, concerning the deterioration of both trade and political relations with Russia. The shift of Ukraine’s trade partners is considered with respect to economic gains and losses to the Ukrainian society. Thus, the economic performance of one of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries – Romania, is compared to Ukraine, suggesting a possible outcome for Ukraine if it chose the European direction after the Soviet disintegration. The problem of Ukraine’s inefficiency in national gas supplies and related increase in shadow activities is studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses how in the course of the 1990s in both Russia and Ukraine, political power came to be exercised by economic lites who pursued a policy of pragmatism in international relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-winner of the 2009 SUNY Press Dissertation/First Book Prize in Women's and Gender Studies, Imagining Russia uses U.S.–Russian relations between the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 as a case study to examine the deployment of gendered, racialized, and heteronormative visual and narrative depictions of Russia and Russians in contemporary narratives of American nationalism and U.S. foreign policy. Through analyses of several key post-Soviet American popular and political texts, including the hit television series The West Wing, Washington D.C.'s International Spy Museum, and the legislative hearings of the Freedom Support Act and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, Williams calls attention to the production and operation of five types of "gendered Russian imaginaries" that were explicitly used to bolster support for and legitimize U.S. geopolitical unilateralism after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, demonstrating the ways that the masculinization of U.S. military, political, and financial power after 1991 paved the way for the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
