Taking the Longer View: A Neoclassical Realist Account of Russia’s Neighbourhood Policy

Elias Götz

Europe-Asia Studies, 2022, vol. 74, issue 9, 1729-1763

Abstract: This essay complements the other contributions to this special issue by placing Russia’s neighbourhood policy into a broader temporal and theoretical perspective. It shows that Russia’s political elite during the last three decades has been largely united behind the goal of establishing a Moscow-centred regional security order. Yet, despite this broad-based consensus, Russia’s policy in the former Soviet area has varied markedly across time and space. To account for this pattern, the essay develops and tests a neoclassical realist approach that explains why, how and when major powers such as Russia pursue regional primacy.
