China's economic ties with Russia are deepening, particularly in terms of trade and cross-border lending, but less so in terms of Chinese foreign direct investment in, or portfolio flows to, Russia. Meanwhile, Europe remains Russia's largest trading partner, lender and investor. In relation to trade, an analysis of China's increasing export share and the increasing value added of its exports, and previous empirical analysis at the product level, indicate that China seems to have become more of a competitor to the European Union on Russia's market. Increasing competition between European and Chinese exports should not be surprising as there is ample evidence that China has rapidly moved up the technology ladder in the last few decades. Competition over investment and lending is more limited, but the situation could change rapidly with China and Russia giving clear signs of a stronger than ever strategic partnership.

In corso di stampa anche in italiano per la rivista "Lo Straniero" ; Il saggio indaga nelle sue diverse manifestazioni un fenomeno che ha cominciato ad affiorare in Russia nella seconda metà degli anni Novanta, quando, con la profonda crisi economica, sociale, politica e di valori provocata dalla "Grande Riforma" fatta dall'allora presidente El'cin per instaurare da un giorno all'altro il mercato, il mito della Russia zarista, al tempo stesso passato virtuale per dimenticare gli orrori del passato vero e promessa per il futuro, è andato in frantumi, perdendo ogni capacità di fornire un'identità alla società post-comunista in preda al disincanto: è emersa allora la nostalgia per l'epoca sovietica, non certo per l'epoca staliniana, ma per gli anni di Brežnev, che sono del resto gli anni in cui complessivamente la Russia, pu restando a un livello nettamente inferiore alle società occidentali, aveva raggiunto il maggior benessere diffuso della sua storia.

Relations between Sweden and Russia have historically been characterized by continuity and stability, despite occasional periods of friction. On the one hand, Sweden and Russia have a more active bilateral agenda than what is usually recognized, primarily in the areas of trade, investments and cultural and educational exchanges. On the other hand, there are several issues – like the Ukraine conflict, the EU Eastern Partnership, Swedish NATO cooperation and the security situation in the Baltic Sea area – involving competing claims and interests between Sweden and Russia. Further, Swedish foreign policy since the 1990s has been framed within a multilateral context, and that has a bearing on Swedish–Russian relations as well. This situation is likely to continue, unless dramatic changes occur in the political relations between Russia and the Western powers.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, its constituent republics suddenly found themselves to be independent states. However, Russia continues to exert influence on these states through interdependent economies and revanchist policies. Some states see their sovereignty being threatened by this, and resist. Others see the possibility for gain and encourage increased cooperation with Russia. This paper explores the causes for this difference in behavior. Two of these states that are moving in opposite directions in regard to Russia—Ukraine and Belarus—are examined. It is found that in light of the high level of asymmetrical interdependence found between these states and Russia, national identity can be used to explain why Ukraine and Belarus either associate or dissociate in regard to the Commonwealth of Independent States, the energy trade, and nuclear weapons.

PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN WORLD POLITICS. THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES THE DANGERS THAT ARE IN STORE FOR THE UNITED STATES WHICH ARE FRAUGHT WITH THE RISK THAT WE WILL DRIFT BACK INTO A COLD PEACE.

The article discusses the security relations among the United States, the EU and Russia in the context of Donald Trump's populism, the change of Western political elites and the erosion of arms treaty regimes. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state and identify the probable scenarios of relations in the triangle of the USA – the EU – Russia. The article explores the features of the Euro-Atlantic security system from 1990's till the mid-2000's; the concept of Euro-Atlantic security in 2008-2009; the US, the EU and Russia relations under Barak Obama and Donald Trump. As a result of a comprehensive analysis, the author comes to the following conclusions: 1) the concept of Euro-Atlantic security is still relevant. Since the NATO based security arrangements are not stabile, security interaction among the USA, the EU and Russia is growing in importance. 2) European leaders seem to be moving towards building a new security architecture and a more balanced dialogue with Russia. The EU remains the main economic partner of the Russian Federation. 3) Trump's "transactional" approach has prompted Europeans to strengthen its defense identity and seek a compromise with Russia. 4) In a multipolar world, the Euro-Atlantic regional security is no longer closed to transatlantic ties. It is important to rethink the concept towards cooperation with non-regional countries. 5) The complex game of engagement and deterrence is likely to continue in relations between Russia and the West. The more uncertain the transatlantic relations become, the more the EU and the US need Russia.The author declares absence of conflict of interests.

Sovyetler Birliği'nin dağılmasının ardından Rus ekonomisi ve politikasının hem bölgesel hem de uluslararası ilişkilerde bir gerileme yaşadığı bir gerçektir. Büyük bütçe açıkları bir taraftan, yakın coğrafyası üzerinde kaybettiği siyasi etkisi diğer taraftan, Rusya'yı zor bir durumda bırakmıştır. Rusya'nın sahip olduğu enerji kaynaklarının jeopolitiği bu zor durumun üstesinden gelmesi için bir fırsat oluşturmuştur. Sahip olduğu muazzam ham petrol ve doğal gaz rezervleri ile nakliye güzergahları üzerindeki baskınlığı ve kontrolü, Rus ekonomisi ve politikasının hem bölgesel hem de küresel ölçekte yeniden doğmasına yol açmıştır. Buna ilaveten, Rusya sahip olduğu eneji kaynaklarını ve nakliye güzergahlarını dış politikasında bir araç olarak kullanmaya istekli ve muktedir olduğunu kanıtlamıştır. Rusya, enerji geopolitiğini başarılı bir şekilde kullanarak, ilgili ülkeler üzerindeki gücü ve etkisini arttırmak için bir fırsat bulmuştur. ; That Russian economy and policy have experienced a form of a decline in both regional and international affairs after the demise of the Soviet Union is a fact. Huge budget deficit in one hand and the loss of political influence in particularly the near abroad have put Russia in a difficult position. It is the geopolitics of energy resources that Russia posses that has provided the opportunity for Russia to come over this difficult situation. Ownership of immense crude oil and natural gas reserves and the dominance over the control of the transportation routes have been very influential in the revival of Russian economy and politics in both regional and global scale. Moreover, Russia has proven to be willing and active in making use of her energy sources and transportation routes as a tool in her foreign policy. Russia has found an opportunity to assert her strength and influence upon the relevant states by the successful use of energy geopolitics.
