PSIA Seminar: Hierarchy in International Relations: Regional Specifics and the Post-Soviet Space
October 11, 2017 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm +04
About the Event:
A phenomenon of hierarchy in international relations not only exists in practice but also matters significantly. Empirically, a common hierarchical regional system can be defined as a regional international system composed of a single Great Power and a number of relatively small states. Structural preconditions for the sustained hierarchical pattern of interstate relations rest on variety of factors, among them resource asymmetry between the dominant state and smaller countries, structural dependence on dominant state as well as political will and readiness on the part of the dominant state to carry on the burden of sustaining the hierarchy. The major dimensions of hierarchical international relations comprise the economic and security spheres, pertaining to the issues of policy convergence between the dominant state and subordinate ones. Some scholars describe the post-Soviet region as a separate security system, a unipolar structure that is obviously predisposed to the hierarchical patterns of international relations.
