Yevgeny Primakov's Operational Code and Russian Foreign Policy
University of Tampere Faculty of Management Politics/International Relations YEVGENY PRIMAKOV’S OPERATIONAL CODE AND RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY Pihla Bernier Master’s Thesis in International Relations Advisor: Tuomas Forsberg ABSTRACT University of Tampere Faculty of Management BERNIER, PIHLA: Yevgeny Primakov’s Operational Code and Russian Foreign Policy Master’s Thesis, 82 pages International Relations August 2018 Keywords: Yevgeny Primakov, Operational Code, Russian Foreign Policy, Russia, Primakov Doctrine Yevgeny Primakov was an important figure in both Soviet and Russian foreign policy circles throughout his lifetime until 2015. He was a critical leader in the 1990s holding positions of both Minister of Foreign Affairs and Prime Minister, which also coincided with times when Russia was charting a new foreign policy course. He reinvented a foreign policy school of thought called Statism which has been the most influential with Russian leaders for many years and continues to be so today. Current research has not adequately addressed his importance. This thesis set out to investigate his beliefs and worldview utilizing the operational code method using Alexander George’s ten question model. Research was conducted based on Primakov’s own writings, speeches and interviews. Yevgeny Primakov has been called both a westernizing leader and a hard-liner, but it was found both of these labels are incorrect. Rather, he should be viewed as a patriotic pragmatist. His actions were motivated by advancing Russian interests of which one of the greatest was restoring Russia as a major player in international relations again. His attitude towards the United States was complex, viewing them as a rival, yet not as an enemy.

This high-level, facilitated tabletop exercise will include leading experts in policy- and decision-making, public health, international governance, biotechnology, and catastrophic risks. The goal is to examine current and proposed new mechanisms for preventing, deterring, and responding to deliberate and accidental biological events of high consequence.

Yet, increasing manifestations of climate change have given the issue new urgency. Indeed, climate change has morphed into a threat multiplier that has become firmly intertwined with key issues of our time such as cross-border migration, conflicts over water and other resources, and competition over territories.

Russian Science Diplomacy
CHAPTER 8 Russian Science Diplomacy Elena Kharitonova and Irina Prokhorenko Although science diplomacy is not a new foreign and public policy tool, its popularity has increased in recent years due to a number of factors. One such factor is that numerous traditional and new challenges faced by the international community require decisions and responses based on scien- tific evidence. Simultaneously, in the case of Russia and the West, relations have seriously deteriorated in the past several years and the scientific com- munity remains one of the few groups that is capable of bridging the gap. This community maintains connections, dialogue and personal contacts alive and is looking for solutions to common problems via track two diplo- macy. Russia has vast experience in using science and technology achieve- ments to improve its international image and interaction with other countries. Recently, Russia adopted a long-term strategy for the country’s science and technology development, which envisages using science diplo- macy as one of its public diplomacy tools. Regardless of intention, does Russia possess the institutions, the human and financial resources and the skills to achieve tangible results in this direction? This chapter focuses on Russia’s current and future science diplomacy potential. E. Kharitonova (*) • I.

Winning the Normative War with Russia: an Eu-Russia Power Audit
POLICY BRIEF WINNING THE NORMATIVE WAR WITH RUSSIA: AN EU-RUSSIA POWER AUDIT Kadri Liik May 2018 SUMMARY The EU and Russia have become locked in an open battle over the norms of international conduct. This is a clash between liberal universalism and authoritarian statism; the liberal international order and realpolitik. Russia’s interference in European internal affairs is one front line in this normative battle – Moscow’s attempt to erode the Western liberal consensus from within. Russia supports anti-establishment forces in Europe because it lacks friends among establishments. Its use of unconventional methods is not a demonstration of creative strategy but an attempt to compensate for deficiencies. EU member states are remarkably united in their assessment of Russia, but they still need to translate this unity into a political strategy that reflects not just European values, but also Russian realities. The path to winning the overall normative war will not go so much through countering Russia as through improving Europe’s resilience and reinvigorating the Western model. Winning the normative war with Russia: An EU-Russia Power Audit – May 2018 – ECFR/ECFR/258 2 Introduction Two recent images from the 2017 French election capture the current EU-Russia relationship. The first, from 24 March, shows Russian President Vladimir Putin receiving French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen in the Kremlin. With a smile, Putin approvingly declared that the far-right Le Pen represented a range of political forces gaining momentum across Europe. This meeting epitomised Europe’s darkest fears: the European project drowning in a nationalist-populist tsunami cheered on by the Kremlin.

KEY RESULTS OF ACTIVITIES OF THE EURASIAN PEOPLES’ ASSEMBLY 2019 The Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly was created to form a public integration model of the Greater Eurasian partnership. It is intended to become a platform for uniting the efforts of non-governmental organizations in approving the ideas of peacemaking, interethnic and interfaith dialogue, expanding business, cultural and humanitarian cooperation. Eurasia is home to three-quarters of the world’s population. Eurasia and its peoples are the cradle of human civilization. That’s where mordern culture came from, its material and spiritual values. Eurasia is the birthplace of world religions. The world economy is also based on the economic power of Europe and Asia. However, the main wealth of Eurasia lies in the diversity and uniqueness of its peoples’ cultures, in the basic spiritual and moral values, in the common desire for peace for all the peoples. The Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly implements diverse projects aimed at strengthening integration processes through peace-making dialogue, public diplomacy and multilateral cooperation with partners from different countries of Greater Eurasia.

Russia and Quad Plus Is There a Way Forward?
A VIEW FROM THE OTHERS Russia and Quad Plus Is There a Way Forward? DR. ANNA KIREEVA DR. ALEXEY KUPRIYANOV Abstract Russia’s official stance toward both the Quad and the concept of the Indo- Pacific has been largely negative. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs repeat- edly argued against the Quad, accusing the United States of attempts to contain China and draw not only allies Japan and Australia but also India to this goal. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ approach is explained by the fact that the Quad is essentially perceived as an echo of the Cold War alliances as well as NATO- style arrangement that Russia is well-familiar with in Europe. Russia’s position is ex- plained by the fact that the Quad is seen as running counter to Russia’s interests of building a collective security architecture and undermining Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Centrality as well as by the character of Rus- sia’s bilateral relations with ASEAN members. A rift in US–Russia relations seems to preclude any opportunity for cooperation with the Quad or Quad Plus. Moscow deems it impossible to support the Quad due to its anti- Chinese nature, as adopting policies against China is not considered to be in Russia’s national interests. Russian officials generally overlook cooperation on nontraditional secu- rity by either the Quad or Quad Plus. At the same time, Russia enjoys a privileged strategic partnership with India and other powers that are at odds with China, such as Vietnam, and would rather prefer to remain neutral in the growing US– China strategic competition and retain as much strategic autonomy as possible.
