Abstract

The Cold War is not an event, it seems, but a process that continues nowadays, too. In this scholarly article, we defend the thesis that the asymmetric end of the Cold War left a lasting memory on Russia‘s foreign policy. In developing this thesis, we proceed as follows: firstly, we will outline the realist counterargument to our thesis which suggests that no lessons can be learned from the ending of the Cold War because the bipolar struggle itself and the period after were continuations of the constant struggle for power between states in which historical narratives and ideas have no part to play. Secondly, building on the existing constructivist perspective, we will show that understanding the different ideational frameworks that developed in Washington and Moscow are paramount to understanding the deterioration of Russia’s relations with the West in the past decade. Thirdly, we will show how the narratives that developed within Russia about the ending of the Cold War and Russia’s place in the world are critical to understanding the potential for change in the domestic system.

试图探讨俄罗斯国内制度及其外交政策的变革潜力:冷战结束的教训
冷战似乎不是一个事件,而是一个至今仍在继续的过程。在这篇学术文章中,我们为冷战的不对称结束给俄罗斯的外交政策留下了持久的记忆这一论点进行了辩护。在发展这篇论文的过程中,我们将如下进行:首先,我们将概述对我们论文的现实主义反驳,该反驳表明,冷战的结束不能吸取任何教训,因为两极斗争本身及其后的时期是国家之间不断争夺权力的延续,而历史叙事和思想在其中没有任何作用。其次,在现有建构主义视角的基础上,我们将表明,理解华盛顿和莫斯科发展起来的不同概念框架对于理解俄罗斯与西方关系在过去十年中的恶化至关重要。第三,我们将展示俄罗斯内部关于冷战结束和俄罗斯在世界上的地位的叙事如何对理解国内体系变革的潜力至关重要。
