Iran's strategy is under the microscope, & its nuclear posture both intrigues & alarms the international community. At the end of a rigorous examination under six main headings, this article explores Iranian strategy; it concludes that Iran has an undeniable ambition for regional hegemony (in the Persian tradition), but one which remains limited in its actions by structural weaknesses.

Scholars have often highlighted the legacy of Rosa Luxemburg in Hannah Arendt's thought, particularly with regard to Arendt's work about imperialism. Yet in the latter, Arendt mentions Luxemburg's work very little. My hypothesis is that one can understand Luxemburg's legacy in Arendt's "Imperialism" by reading this text in the light of Arendt's anthropological theses in "The Human Condition". I suggest that in "The Human Condition", Arendt theorized the problem of the "primitive accumulation of capital" on the basis of Luxemburg's thought, but she displaced it from an economical perspective to an anthropological and political one. On this basis, I argue that Arendt's theses about the nation-state can only be completely understood in the light of her work about the 19th century imperialism. ; On souligne souvent l'héritage de la pensée de Rosa Luxemburg dans l'oeuvre de Hannah Arendt, en particulier en ce qui concerne les thèses de cette dernière à propos de l'impérialisme. Pourtant, dans son ouvrage homonyme, Arendt ne cite et ne commente que très peu le travail de Luxemburg. Cet article vise à éclairer l'héritage luxemburgien dans "L'Impérialisme" d'Arendt à la lumière des thèses qu'Arendt avance dans "La condition de l'homme moderne". Je fais l'hypothèse qu'Arendt a théorisé le problème de "l'accumulation primitive du capital" sur base des thèses de luxemburgiennes, qu'elle a reprises dans une perspective anthropologique et politique. À partir d'une telle compréhension de la pensée arendtienne de l'impérialisme, je propose de revisiter les analyses que l'autrice a consacrées à la formation et à l'histoire des États-nations européens. ; Peer reviewed

In this article we will analyse the main approaches to which the Putin doctrine refers. Russia presents itself to the international community as responsible for the sustainability of Russian civilisation and as leader of an opposition movement to Western civilisational imperialism. The EU is trying to diversify its international relations by developing new partnerships, in particular with China. However, the Russian military intervention alongside Bashar el Assad in Syria and the Ukrainian crisis largely undermine these efforts to build new alliances. While the new partnership with China is not called into question, its positioning as a pole of resistance to Western civilisational imperialism is at risk. The regained strength and opposition to the West's hegemonic claims are factors which largely explain President Putin's exceptional popularity. However, the Russian economy remains fragile and its modernisation is necessary to reduce its dependence on energy exports. However, this modernisation is expected to be difficult due to its new isolation from European dynamics. V. Putin will it be able to maintain its level of popularity despite a difficult economic situation? ; International audience In this article we will analyze the main approaches to which the Putin doctrine belongs. Russia presents itself to the international community as responsible for the protection and development of Russian civilization and as leader of a movement opposed to Western civilizational imperialism. Russia is trying to diversify its international relations by developing new partnerships, particularly with China. However, Russian military intervention alongside Bashar al-Assad in Syria and the Ukrainian crisis have largely undermined these efforts to build new alliances. If the new partnership with China is not challenged, on the other hand, its positioning as a pole of resistance to Western civilizational imperialism is compromised. The regained power and the opposition to the hegemonic policies of the West are factors that largely ...

Russia - [URSS] - Russia, by Anita Tiraspolsky
From Nicolas II to Vladimir Poutine, Russia passed through many changes. To the tsarist empire succeeded the Union of the Soviet socialist republics. To Lenin's international revolutionary ambition succeeded Stalin's continental imperialism, and later on Khrouchtchev's and Brejnev's world imperialism. But the superpower "homeland of socialism" could not resist the explosion of the empire announced by the fall of Berlin's wall, in 1989 : in 1991, Russia was reborn, and a new page of Russian history was turned. But despite the specificities and tensions which are still shaking the country, bet- ween North and South, East and West, Christianity and Islam, Russia wants eventually to be integrated into the world community and to stop being considered as an alien actor on the international stage.
