WITH FINGERS SPREAD: DISCUSSION ON RUSSIA’S NEW FOREIGN POLITICAL CONCEPT
On May 7, 2012 President Vladimir Putin signed a Decree which among other things instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to draft a new foreign political concept for Russia. At the deadline set by the Head of State – December 1 – the draft was ready to be signed. By analogy with the three previous similar documents one could expect that Russia would enter 2013 with a new foreign political concept…It was not to be, however. As sources in the Presidential Administration have hinted, the draft needs to be refined. The problem is not that draft itself is bad but rather that the present political reality around Russia is likely never to be so complicated. Never has it involved so many threats and challenges as now. And never have there been so many smart eggheads discussing different details of this situation and coming out with sometimes diametrically opposite recommendations of their own. The present author's mission is not to rise above all and offer a panacea for everything. He is trying to make sense of his own 40-years diplomatic experience, and to sort out the meaning and significance of the debate about the foreign policy priorities of Russia in the first half of the twenty-first century.
Key words: Russia, foreign policy, concept, world order, globalization, global problems, Eurasia, «soft power”, prospects of world order, survival issue, the imperatives of global governance and sovereignty of States, the philosophical foundations of globalization.
