vraevski

The current system of global geopolitical coordinates is still dominated by the argument of force, pragmatism and subjective desire to obtain financial gain   Serhiy Polyovyk Some of the latest events in Europe and in the world in one way or another have affected Ukraine. For example, Denmark did grant Russia permission to lay the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline through its territorial waters. In other words, the Russians have overcome the obstacle to realizing their intention to build a gas pipeline to Europe bypassing Ukraine and traditional routs of transporting gas to European consumers.

In the near future, we should expect reformatting of the centers of power throughout the Middle East   Vadym Volokhov With the election of Donald Trump as president, the United States’ foreign policy has become somewhat unpredictable, and this is entirely true for the Middle East region. Considering the geopolitical processes observed today in the Persian Gulf, one can conclude that the Gulf is the centre of some key trends of today. Thus, Washington is trying to block the Gulf as a free economic region through imposing economic sanctions on both, Iran and the states that trade with it. The Persian Gulf clearly tracks the USA’s plan to…

At the same time, we almost ignored other centres of power, the role and importance of which is growing. One of them is Turkey, which considers itself…

French Humanism or German Pragmatism?   Serhiy Polyovyk Two events in the international arena (the French President’s speech at the annual conference of ambassadors and the German Chancellor’s visit to China) attracted the attention of analysts and observers. The leaders of Germany and France have both, given new impetus to geopolitical thinking in the European partner countries and generated a signal for superpowers influencing the formation of world geopolitics — the United States and China. The French President’s worldview on the development of Europe and the world, on keeping of basic European values, even in contrast to the US position, contradicts A. Merkel’s pragmatic German approach and…
