Russia and the World: IMEMO Forecast 2019

Abstract

The Primakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IMEMO RAN) published its foresight study “Russia and the world”, with its summary published in English in the journal New Perspectives by the Institute of International Relations of Prague. This paper does not aim to provide a complete summary of the foresight study but to review it critically and thus to offer a glimpse of how Russian foreign policy experts see Russia’s role in the world, the current Russia–West conflict, and Moscow’s foreign relations.
