Globalisation and Democracy: Russia’s Case

Nadia Aleksandrova Arbatova ; IMEMO, Moscow, Russian Federation

Abstract

It is difficult to find any other notion than “globalisation” which would be used so often and which would have so many interpretations. For political scientists it means first of all increasing democratisation of the world. Russia came out of the USSR with the only one desire to become part of the civilised world and consequently of the main international institutions. Nowadays, ten years after the dissolution of the USSR, Russia still stays outside the main international institutions. The gap between Russia and enlarging Europe is growing. Why did it happen? What are the underlying reasons of this situation? The presentation is focused on these problems.
