Rules for a Game without Rules
In: Russia in global affairs, Band 21, Heft 3, S. 114-126
The provisions of the new RF Foreign Policy Concept are compared both with the previous versions of this document (adopted in 2013 and 2016) and with the effective National Security Strategy. Structural, normative, and strategic novelties are discussed. They determine not only Russia's foreign policy priorities in the changing world order but also substantiate, ideologically and geopolitically, its commitment to these priorities. A clear statement of national interests, and foreign policy goals and objectives provide a clearer and more logical framework for Russia's further actions in the international arena.
