Great Powersâ Foreign Policy
Approaching the Global Competition and the Russian War against the West
Volume Editor:
By comparing the great-powersâ foreign policy, this book investigates the global competition and revisionist attempts to dismantle the Western liberal order. Since February 2022, the international system has been challenged by the Russian invasion in Ukraine and its profound, multiple consequences.Putinâs War has reinvented the West. But still, this is not âthe end of historyâ. To illustrate that tensions between democratic and autocratic great powers are nowadays at their peak since the end of the Cold War, one should consider President Bidenâs words in Warsaw, referring to President Putin: âFor Godâs sake, this man cannot remain in power!â
Valentin Naumescu, Ph.D (2000), BabeÈ-Bolyai University (BBU), Cluj, is Professor of International Relations at BBU and Director of the EUXGLOB Centre. His latest book is The USA-China War for Supremacy and the Five Forces Changing the World (Polirom, 2022).
