المسعى الروسي لضبط الدور العالمي و إعادة التوازن الدولي في القرن الواحد و العشرين

Abstract EN

The geopolitical change witnessed by the Russian state at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century had born the "emotional emptiness" of the Russian people due to atrophy of the superpower status and the Russian global leadership's post .

The seriousness of the US-Western blockade of the territory of Russia ,deprive it of its former vital area and the deployment of US military bases on the outer wall of the territory of Russia ,spurred Russian foreign strategy to adopt the approach of the "national state" whose mission is to preserve the historical existence of the Russian nation in the form of greatness and to affirm the leading role in the hierarchy of the international order .

In this paper , we test the hypothesis that "the Russian approach after 2000 in the management of foreign relations fulfills the demand to restore the global role of Russia and control the international balance".

Methodology: The analytical approach and the content analysis methodology were adopted.

The importance of the study comes from the new turn in the global role of the state of the Russian Federation in the formation of international alliances and economic blocs and the management of international crises to achieve the prestige and the role of global leadership of Russia again.

This study presents in the first section a reading of the geopolitical variables that changed the map of the nation and the physical strength of Russia.

In the second section, the incentives to build strength and return to play the dominant role and participate in global decision-making are shown by the influence of Russian elites and leadership.

The third section will follow the geopolitical approach adopted by the Russian leadership in its effort to control the global role and restore the international balance through a series of new blocs and alliances with regional forces across the world.

The concept of the "global political role" develops through the behavior of the state towards the issues and the hierarchy of the international system, which is an influential part of the formation of the more it affects these relations , the values of the system and the order of its hierarchy, the more it indicates the global active role of that state.

As for the international balance, " Ismail Sabri Muqalid " said, "It is a tool through which states can organize conflicts of power between them so as to ensure the continuation of the existing international order, protect its independence and prevent the ingestion of its national entity by superior international forces".
