الحرب الروسية-الأوكرانية من المنظور الواقعي: أمننة الخوف

Abstract EN

This paper aims to discuss the causes of the Russo-Ukrainian war from a realistic perspective.

it emphasizes the role of the security dilemma in paving the way for the conflict, spanning from the collapse of the soviet union to the onset of the invasion.

the paper treats the Russian state as the primary actor in the decision-making process, in contrast to the common approach that focuses on individual decision-makers.

this is particularly pertinent in light of the way media outlets present the issue, which often overlooks the significance of objective factors, including the securitization of values that contributed to the war's escalation.

the paper concludes that historical analysis of events is aligned with several hypotheses of realism.

it underscores that the clash of values between the west and Russia has taken on a clear security dimension.

in conclusion, the paper suggests exploring the potential role of china and its stance regarding the conflict.
