Abstract

Russia reacted in markedly different ways to comparable upheavals in Ukraine: the Orange Revolution in 2004 and the Euromaidan Revolution in 2013/2014. This paper argues that a combination of important external and internal factors led to a change in Russia's dominant national role conceptions, which contributed to Moscow's more assertive foreign policy, exemplified by divergent reactions to these two upheavals. Consequently, the paper aims to contribute to the existing scholarship on role change, demonstrating mechanisms behind such changes and examining the necessary scope conditions. The analysis reveals two types of role change: long-term, comprehensive ones that may lead to shifts in foreign policy behavior and swift changes motivated by contemporary events that result from role conflict.

角色转变与俄罗斯对乌克兰动乱的反应

俄罗斯对乌克兰类似动荡的反应截然不同：2004年的橙色革命和2013/2014年的欧洲少女革命。本文认为，重要的外部和内部因素的结合导致了俄罗斯主导的国家角色观念的改变，这有助于莫斯科更加自信的外交政策，对这两次动荡的不同反应就是例证。因此，本文旨在为现有的角色转变学术做出贡献，展示这种转变背后的机制，并研究必要的范围条件。该分析揭示了两种类型的角色变化：可能导致外交政策行为转变的长期、全面的角色变化，以及由角色冲突引发的当代事件引发的快速变化。

期刊介绍： Reflecting the diverse, comparative and multidisciplinary nature of the field, Foreign Policy Analysis provides an open forum for research publication that enhances the communication of concepts and ideas across theoretical, methodological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. By emphasizing accessibility of content for scholars of all perspectives and approaches in the editorial and review process, Foreign Policy Analysis serves as a source for efforts at theoretical and methodological integration and deepening the conceptual debates throughout this rich and complex academic research tradition. Foreign policy analysis, as a field of study, is characterized by its actor-specific focus. The underlying, often implicit argument is that the source of international politics and change in international politics is human beings, acting individually or in groups. In the simplest terms, foreign policy analysis is the study of the process, effects, causes or outputs of foreign policy decision-making in either a comparative or case-specific manner.
