Дилеммы российской внешней политики на современном этапе

Abstract

The article reflects the most important and urgent challenges, which Russia is facing, learning the new instruments of regulation, represented by the USA and NATO, under the conditions of globalization; searching her own place in the reconstructed system of international relations; getting through the decade of economic and political crisis to the unknown prospects of the 21st century. Today the stability in the relations between Russia and America is not the key factor of the international stability as a whole, but it is still crucial for Russia herself. In this context the issues of adapting Russian foreign policy to the "western" concept of help and partnership, on the one hand, and to the goals of economic recovery, recovery of lost influence in the world, on the other, — all these are becoming extremely relevant. The work explores the current mechanism of international globalization in the light of Russian interests and gives the analysis of current Russian foreign policy in the global terms.
