Abstract

"This book examines how, within foreign policy, perceptions are a reflection of an actor's conception of status, credibility and legitimacy assigned to the Self and the Others. Perceptions of the Self and Other and their roles in international relations are also informed by images of superiority, intent and affinity. Perceptions may change over time and under the impact of dramatic events. Chapters explore the perceptions of both sides of EU-Ukraine relations, and propose a new set of concepts to highlight internal and external role incongruences, including: perception gaps, expectations-performance gaps and hope-performance gaps. A differentiation between cognitive, emotive and normative elements of images helps to explain role conflicts. The book further offers a comparison of EU self-images and Ukrainian expectations and perceptions in four areas of external actions of the EU: as an international leader and global and regional power, a partner for Ukraine, a peace mediator and a public diplomacy actor. Scholars and students of international relations, European politics, and EU foreign policy will find this book a useful resource. It will also benefit those studying political communication, as the book considers conceptual metaphor theory in its application to the studies of images and perceptions in international relations and communication about complex political events and actors"--

Abstract

Depuis une dizaine d'années, l'Ukraine apparaît régulièrement sur le devant de la scène internationale, que ce soit pour ses mouvements protestataires, ou à propos de l'annexion de la Crimée par la Russie et du conflit à l'est du pays, semblant constituer le théâtre d'une nouvelle guerre froide qui cristallise les tensions entre la Russie et les nations occidentales. Les événements récents sont aussi l'occasion de mesurer combien notre connaissance de ce pays est lacunaire, se limitant souvent aux clichés d'une Ukraine berceau de la Russie, terre des cosaques, grenier à blé de l'URSS et d'une suite de gouvernants entachés par une corruption massive. Partant de ces idées reçues, Alexandra Goujon dresse un portrait précis et documenté de cette Ukraine, terre de contrastes

Abstract

Debating the War in Ukraine discusses whether the war could have been avoided, and, if so, how? In this dialogical book, the authors discuss nodal points of history in terms of counterfactuals and contrastive explanations, concluding by considering future possibilities. They start in the 1990s where several causal elements of the war originate involving Russia's economic developments and Europe's security arrangements. Moving on to the next decade, they focus on the Iraq war, colour revolutions, and NATO's 2008 announcement that Ukraine and Georgia will become members. Finally, they explore the past decade including the Ukrainian crisis of 2013-2014, the annexation of Crimea, and the consecutive war in east Ukraine. The current war can also be seen as a continuum of that war. The authors agree that NATO's 2008 announcement on Ukraine's and Georgia's NATO membership was an unnecessary provocation, and that the implementation of the Minsk agreement could have prevented the current war, but otherwise their analysis of counterfactual possibilities differs, especially when it comes to the action-possibilities of the West (including diverse actors). These differences are not just dependent on different readings of relevant evidence but, importantly, stem from dissimilar contrast spaces and divergent theoretical understandings of the nature of states and mechanisms of international relations and political economy. This short, highly accessible book will be of great interest to all those studying and working in international relations and its various subfields such as peace and conflict studies and security studies, as well as all those wishing to understand more about the backdrop of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Abstract

"Offers us an excellent opportunity to reflect on and deepen our understanding of the complex ways in which today's media and communication ecology enter into contemporary conflicts. Notwithstanding the state power plays evident in the Ukrainian conflict and redolent perhaps of an earlier Cold War period, the surrounding terrain of media and communications has in fact moved on. New information technologies and evolving hybrid media (both 'old' and 'new' in dynamic interaction and increasing imbrication), argues Pantti, have reshaped both the conduct and space of modern wars. This has served to increase the range of views, voices and vantage points informing the narratives of conflict and their contending frames and counterframes; ... based on the original research of its contributors provides its own vantage point from which to better appraise the multiple and complex ways in which media and communications represented and entered into the Ukrainian conflict. Moreover, the questions that are posed and pursued have relevance not only for the Ukrainian conflict but the changing nature of war reporting globally. As Pantti astutely asks in her introduction, and invites us all to consider: What does 'information war,' 'media propaganda' or 'media diplomacy' mean in the contemporary digital media environment? How are traditional mass media and new media forms and technologies involved in information war? How does media serve as a means by which various actors manage and communicate a conflict? What kinds of knowledge and understanding do the narratives and framings of conflict provide their audiences? The different studies and research insights offered by the contributing scholars to this timely volume help provide answers to these crucial questions and by so doing open up a new and necessary vantage point on the play of communication power in the Ukrainian conflict and in respect of today's fast-changing communication environment--Preface.

Abstract

In 2020, mass anti-government protests erupted across Belarus. The brutal crackdown that followed shocked the international community: the authorities arrested tens of thousands of citizens, shut down independent media and NGOs, and fomented a migrant crisis on the European Union's border. But where many thought Belarus's dictator, Alyaksandr Lukashenka, would fall, he instead turned to Moscow for support, intensifying repression. Many of his opponents fled the country. Then, in February 2022, Belarus provided a staging area for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, allowing troops and missile systems to be based on its territory as large-scale war returned to Eastern Europe once again. Many outsiders now view Belarus as little more than a Russian military district, rather than a sovereign country. Paul Hansbury offers a wide-ranging account of these two related crises.

Abstract

Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 brought East-West relations to a low. But, by selling the annexation in starkly nationalist terms to grassroots nationalists, Putin's popularity reached record heights. This volume examines the interactions and tensions between state and societal nationalisms before and after the annexation.

Abstract

En lançant son " Opération spéciale " le 24 février 2022, Vladimir Poutine, qui la veille ou presque jurait sur l'honneur n'avoir aucune intention belliqueuse, espérait voir l'Ukraine capituler en quelques jours, les démocraties occidentales reculer une nouvelle fois et son projet d'une nouvelle " Grande Russie " prendre corps. Quelques semaines ont suffi à mettre en lumière ses multiples erreurs. Passée la sidération entretenue par un flot continu d'informations, cette guerre entre démocratie et anti-démocratie permet de tirer des enseignements sur l'une comme sur l'autre. Elle vient clore l'ère ouverte avec la chute du mur de Berlin et l'effondrement de l'Union soviétique, marquée par l'aveuglement et les errements de démocraties libérales qui se sont crues d'abord triomphantes, puis fragiles et fatiguées - au point de capituler devant l'affirmation d'un pouvoir hostile suscitant en leur sein quelque fascination. Elle vient tout autant révéler les insuffisances et la perte de prise avec la réalité du pouvoir poutinien marqué par l'hubris d'un homme en décalage avec son ex-Empire, voire avec sa propre société. Les démocraties des années 2020 n'auront d'autre choix que de s'armer face aux anti-démocraties, la chose est désormais entendue. Mais leur véritable puissance ne peut venir que d'une confiance renouvelée en leur propre modèle politique, susceptible d'ouvrir une voie d'avenir aux populations qui se débattent aujourd'hui sous la tyrannie. --

Abstract

D'Anieri explores the dynamics within Ukraine, between Ukraine and Russia, and between Russia and the West, that emerged with the collapse of the Soviet Union and eventually led to war in 2014. Proceeding chronologically, this book shows how Ukraine's separation from Russia in 1991, at the time called a 'civilized divorce', led to what many are now calling 'a new Cold War'. He argues that the conflict has worsened because of three underlying factors - the security dilemma, the impact of democratization on geopolitics, and the incompatible goals of a post-Cold War Europe. Rather than a peaceful situation that was squandered, D'Anieri argues that these were deep-seated pre-existing disagreements that could not be bridged, with concerning implications for the resolution of the Ukraine conflict. The book also shows how this war fits into broader patterns of contemporary international conflict and should therefore appeal to researchers working on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia's relations with the West, and conflict and geopolitics more generally.

Abstract

America and Europe responded to Russia's annexation of Crimea on March 18, 2014 by discarding their policy of East-West partnership and reverting intermittently to a policy of cold war. The West believes that this on-again/off-again second Cold War will end with Russia's capitulation because it is not a sufficiently great power, while the Kremlin's view is just the opposite; Vladimir Putin believes that if Moscow has strategic patience, Russia can recover some of the geostrategic losses that it incurred when the Soviet Union collapsed. The Kremlin Strikes Back scrutinizes the economic prospects of both sides, including factors like military industrial prowess, warfighting capabilities, and national resolve, addressing particularly hot-button issues such as increasing military spending, decreasing domestic spending, and other policies. Stephen Rosefielde aims to objectively gauge future prospects and the wisdom of employing various strategies to address Russian developments.
