This book analyzes international affairs in the post-Cold War era
by taking a special look at identity, norms and interests and the
limits of liberal normative universalism. The book assesses the
causes of the deterioration of Russian - Western relations, the
management of the liberal international order, the challenges
liberal democracies face today, the rise of China and its
consequences on global governance, and the war in Ukraine as an
outcome of the dynamics described throughout the book. China and
Russia represent different normative frameworks, have their own
national interests, have increased their relative strength and
influence and represent alternative economic and diplomatic
partners for the Global South. Meanwhile, rising populist sentiment
in western liberal democracies reflects important dissatisfaction
with establishment policies. This research is particularly
important for crafting creative solutions to the dynamic changes of
the 21st century and the rise of nonwestern powers with different
identities, interests and norms.
This book offers an analysis of Putin's approval ratings from the
fall of the USSR to the present day. It considers contemporary
materials, statistics and a discourse analysis to assess how
Putin's approval ratings have stayed so high despite the current
economic turndown. Through a comparative analysis with Yeltsin's
time in office, the author demonstrates that higher levels of
security, a better standard of living, increasingly assertive
foreign policy and greater centralization of power led to positive
approval ratings for Putin-absent characteristics during Yeltsin's
terms-and fostered 'positive national self-esteem' in Russia, a
national sentiment that has persisted through current economic
difficulties. Recommended reading for academics and students of
Russian studies in the field of International Relations, Foreign
Policy and Comparative Politics.
This edited volume examines the impacts of the 2014-2015 decline in
the price of oil. Participants will examine the economic, social
and political consequences on states and regions, along with their
responses. The following questions will be examined: what were the
impacts for countries experiencing an energy revolution in shale
and gas like the United States and Canada? What were the
repercussions of the collapse on other states of the Western
hemisphere dependent on oil for growth and development; countries
like Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico? Were these outcomes similar to
those experiences in other parts of world like Nigeria, Russia and
other petro-producing countries? How do developing countries intend
to cope with such drastic and sudden exogenous economic shock? Will
there be any benefits for energy poor, consumer countries like
China, India and European Union member states? Related to these
issues are sustainable developmental questions and concerns about
the environment. Will cheap oil force other alternative and
renewable energy technologies out of the market given lack of
competitiveness? Finally, the volume's chapters will discuss
prospects for governance in the new oil environment.
