- Title
PUTIN'S NEO-TSARIST RUSSIA: A BALKAN AND EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN PATTERN OF RESURGENCE.
- Authors
IVANOVSKI, Hristijan
- Abstract
The West has been witnessing a concerning trend of Russian penetration into South Eastern Europe, more palpably since 2008. The beginning of the implementation of the South Stream gas pipeline project seems to have marked a "stealthy" shift in the regional balance. Also, as Russia continues with its global "politicisation" of energy resources and strategic wielding of non-military power other relevant aspects of its Balkan strategy -- most notably its post-1999 defence ties with Serbia as its regional bastion No.1 -- are often overlooked. Russia's Balkan and eastern Mediterranean pattern of resurgence inevitably raises the general question of the western strategic dilemma with the "awakening bear."
