The Russian diaspora has remained one of the most divided and disunited in the world. Its potential as a lobbyist and broker has gradually shrunk to zero, while no system capable of protecting the rights of compatriots has been built by Moscow to this day. Recent years have seen still greater fragmentation and polarization of Russians living abroad, triggered by the Kremlin’s foreign policy actions in 2014. There has developed a confrontation between those who associate themselves with their compatriots and the Russian world, on the one hand, and Global Russians, on the other hand. The latter were rejected by the Russian authorities and some experts, who equated Global Russians with cosmopolitans. A review of the existing studies and empirical examples shows that this interpretation was erroneous and Global Russians were artificially opposed to other parts of the Russian diaspora and the international Russophile community (compatriots and the Russian world) as the Kremlin revised its strategy towards the Russian diaspora.","PeriodicalId":36949,"journal":{"name":"Russia in Global Affairs","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69355555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a difficult task, since any Cold War suggests a long-time span, with no possibility for crushing the enemy with a rapid offensive.

The realists’ leading voices are John Mearsheimer and Kenneth Waltz, while the liberals’ mastermind is John Ikenberry. Richard Hanania’s new book challenges both camps by offering a new vision of how U.S. foreign policy is shaped. Hanania’s main postulate is that, contrary to a widespread popular belief, modern democracy in general and the United States in particular cannot be described in principle as a unitary actor, capable of developing and effecting longterm strategic plans. The gist of Hanania’s book is devoted first and foremost to polemics with what he calls the “illusion of grand strategy.” Hanania argues that in most situations, both the United States and the majority of other democracies are fundamentally incapable of developing and implementing long-term foreign policies. However, Hanania makes a reservation that this observation does not apply to situations where One Grand Disillusion","PeriodicalId":36949,"journal":{"name":"Russia in Global Affairs","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69355605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
