There’s an irony of fate as the old rivals again look for common ground For years, Russian-American relations seemed to be in an irreversible coma.

... contingents of individual NATO countries on Ukrainian territory. They could play a supporting role and not appear on the line of combat contact, but the prospect of any agreements given such conditions becomes quite illusory. Ivan Timofeev: Why Multilateral Diplomacy Is in Crisis Fourth—the emptiness of individual “chips” in the negotiating game. For example, Washington may agree that Ukraine will not be invited to NATO.

The fate of the future world order still depends on the ability of the 'troika' to control rivalry and on the results of such rivalry Minimising the number of one’s enemies while multiplying one’s number of friends is a basic principle of diplomacy that has existed for centuries. The simplicity of the principle itself is more than compensated by the complexity of its practical implementation. In international relations, the price of friendship may be too high, limiting freedom of manoeuvre,...
... containing Iran militarily—has failed to deliver on its promise of regional security. Yuliya Alekseeva: China in the Mashriq: New Best Friend China’s success as a mediator in the internal reconciliation of Palestine suggests that China’s proactive diplomacy in the region is not a one-off move: China is more than willing to contribute to regional stability and peace.

Thus, the head of EU diplomacy Josep Borrel openly stated that Zelensky’s plan is the only option discussed in the international arena. There are other plans – from China, Brazil, African countries – but all of them have been pushed back. None of them have been discussed ...

Russian experts have rightly pointed out the vagueness of the concept, its intersection with other concepts (such ...
... the mainstream expert community in Russia to open up to the West anytime soon At the height of the Cold War, the Esalen Institute made a difference in Soviet-US relations, initiating and maintaining some of them through Esalen Track-2 and Track-1.5 Diplomacy. Today Multi-Track Diplomacy remains of interest. Track-2 and Track-1.5 Diplomacy seem to complement and support Track-1 efforts by creating a favorable environment for negotiations, generating creative ideas, building trust, and generating ...
The growing gap between the ends that the US seeks in international relations and the means that it has available is particularly striking in the case of the so-called dual containment policy that Washington now pursues toward Russia and China A couple of days ago, a Quad summit meeting in Sydney scheduled for May 24 was abruptly canceled.
