초록
Russia continues struggling with its identity, leaning either toward being a Europeanor an Asian country, or representing the link between the two regions. Recentlythere has been a Russian “pivot” to Asia, but, as opposed to U.S. rebalancing inthis region, Russia does not intend to assume a leadership role and streamline theongoing political and economic process in accordance with the superpower’sinterests. Rather, Russia shows intent to try to fit in more actively in the existingAsia-Pacific order and engage on an equal basis with other members of theregion. While this process started earlier, charted by Primakov’s “strategic triangle”idea and multi-vector diplomacy, recent confrontation with the West significantly spedup the process. This article intends to review the evolution of Russia’s conceptualunderstanding of Asia and its own place and role in the Asia-Pacific region. Furtheron, the author attempts to take a brief look at major developments happening inthe region, review its conflict potential and define the role of its main players. While those factors are reviewed, there is no intention to attempt a comprehensivedescription of the situation in the Asia- Pacific, but rather to offer an account ofexisting opportunities and challenges through Russia’s interests and views.
Abstract
Russia continues struggling with its identity, leaning either toward being a Europeanor an Asian country, or representing the link between the two regions. Recentlythere has been a Russian “pivot” to Asia, but, as opposed to U.S. rebalancing inthis region, Russia does not intend to assume a leadership role and streamline theongoing political and economic process in accordance with the superpower’sinterests. Rather, Russia shows intent to try to fit in more actively in the existingAsia-Pacific order and engage on an equal basis with other members of theregion. While this process started earlier, charted by Primakov’s “strategic triangle”idea and multi-vector diplomacy, recent confrontation with the West significantly spedup the process. This article intends to review the evolution of Russia’s conceptualunderstanding of Asia and its own place and role in the Asia-Pacific region. Furtheron, the author attempts to take a brief look at major developments happening inthe region, review its conflict potential and define the role of its main players. While those factors are reviewed, there is no intention to attempt a comprehensivedescription of the situation in the Asia- Pacific, but rather to offer an account ofexisting opportunities and challenges through Russia’s interests and views.
