New geopolitical horizons for Belarusian regime

It seams that the “policy of flirting”, which the Belarusian regime has pursued towards the West for a long time, has started to bear fruit. However, it doesn’t mean that the era of democratisation or liberalisation begins in Belarus or that the authority starts to fulfil political demands towards the improvement of situation in the field of human rights. Most probably, it won’t be possible to speak of any democratisation in the country in the course of next years at all. In view of the current state of relations…

Summer 2008 in the spirit of Russian (not only) diplomatic offensive

The military conflict in Georgia and its international implications have diverted attention away from other Russian diplomatic and political initiatives presented during this year’s summer months.

The EU cannot exist as a united suprastate whole without this. As long…

The military and geopolitical doctrine of Russia: new perspectives or the rebirth of an empire?

Speculations about what’s Russia at present and what it wants to be in the future raise many questions. The answers, however, don’t pertain only to Russian geopolitical future, but also to the future of the entire world in the course of next ten years. It remains a fact that Russia weathered the period of internal political destabilisation and a partial state dissolution. The ruling regime has been consolidated….

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus about to tackle the issue of geopolitical choice

Nowadays, when we are talking about the geopolitical sphere, the first question arising is, to what extent the geopolitical issues are up-to-date in the age of information technologies and the globalisation of the world‛s population. Is it conceivable to talk about geopolitics in times, where the subjugation of nations and the division of territories have already come to an end, and where the giant…
