Geopolitical Diary: Russia?s Vulnerable Strategic Position
2007-02-09 05:33:04 Russian Deputy Prime Minster and Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov addressed the Duma on Wednesday. During his speech, he called the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union — which banned short-, medium- and intermediate-range ballistic and ground-launched cruise missiles — a mistake. Ivanov first raised the midrange missile issue in August 2006 when he visited Alaska with then-U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. During the trip, Ivanov reminded Rumsfeld that a Russian withdrawal from the INF would not be unprecedented since the United States withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002.

Evolving geopolitics of the US, EU and China
2007-02-01 17:16:23 How will global politics evolve from the US’ seemingly slipping hegemony? Some observers believe that geopolitics is evolving into a system with three great powers - the US, China and the EU - over the next several decades, with Japan and India playing secondary roles. While relations between these countries will vary according to specific issues, we contend that the overall relationship will lean towards the formation of a broadly bipolar geopolitical structure with China and the EU on one side, and with the US, Japan and India on the other. Although the mishandling of post-invasion Iraq has diminished the US’ standing, its economic and military might remain dominant. However, China’s rise may undercut US influence in certain areas, particularly within Asia. Unsurprisingly, the US is deeply concerned with containing China’s hard and soft power influence in the region. Indeed, American foreign policy towards China, as well as its focus on terrorism, seems lik...
