Американская политика в отношении СССР и России в XX-XXI веках: доктринальный аспект
Диссертация посвящена изучению места, занимаемого Россией во внешнеполитических доктринах США на протяжении истории. Цель этой работы – определить характер эволюции восприятия России как актора международных отношений разными президентскими администрациями США. Одной из важнейших задач было сравнение современных внешнеполитических доктрин США с доктринами времен «холодной войны». Большое внимание уделено анализу возможностей американского правительства в проведении политики сдерживания России в настоящее время. Основными источниками исследования выступили речи президентов США, документы Белого дома и Конгресса.
The theme of Master’s dissertation is evaluation of US foreign policy towards Russian Federation from a perspective of the doctrinal aspect in past and in modernity.
Relevance of the topic: US-Russian relations have centuries of history with their ups and downs. There were the times when our countries were close allies in the struggle against British domination, nonetheless world history had moments of American-Russian irreconcilable confrontation for hegemony in world arena. Perhaps, the best characteristic of this relationship can be described by words of Jason Kornwitz that “US-Russia relations have always been on a roller coaster”, thereby ambiguity between Moscow and Washington is not something new or abnormal about it as some experts exaggerate assuming that current US-Russian relations are “in the worst state that have ever been”.
Nevertheless, there is a clear understanding that bilateral ties between nations are in grave tensions nowadays. Many political scholars from both sides opt for the view of George F. Kennan, who is known as an advocate of a policy of containment of Soviet expansion during the Cold War and Mr. Kennan has claimed that “it is the beginning of a new cold war”. Unfortunately, the capacity to rebuild friendly and profitable partnership after collapse of the USSR was wasted by many mistakes of both Governments, therefore world community observes a great recurrence to the rhetoric of “good old times”. Considering this fact, the polemic in US Senate figures out that containment policy towards Russian Federation is a very tempting framework for thinking about the post–Cold War world.
The “Containment” was a key stone for US foreign policy towards Soviet Union during Cold War and the foundational ground of this policy was formed by US Presidential doctrines. This method of forming world understanding was conducted by President Monroe in XIX century and it took roots in US Government’s practice, becoming very influential tool for American foreign affairs.
It is fair enough to notice that implementation of US Presidential doctrines has increased in XX-XXI centuries, playing really significant role for American establishment. As system of the world became more complex after World War II, the United Stated had to react in a proper way to these changes and challenges they faced, therefore state machinery needed to be more scrupulous, flexible and adaptive. US presidential administrations of Cold War elaborated an efficient strategy that bested communistic point of view on world outlook: “This single, simple, and continuous priority provided a kind of ballast, a center of gravity for American Cold War strategy: whatever the oscillations between parties or between approaches, this fundamental objective always remained”. Precisely because of this unity of purpose, the United States managed to establish realistic and pragmatic foreign policy towards Soviet Union, which could successfully challenge Soviet ambitions in the world, despite some grave failures such as Vietnam War or Bay of Pigs invasion.
Regarding past experience, American Government has the ideas how to implement operative containment policy. Many influential political figures in Washington now stand for renewal of Russia’s retaining strategy and it seems administrations of Post-Cold War period are ready to follow this direction. Starting with Ukrainian crisis in 2014, US Government has changed partner’s like rhetoric with Russia to rigid one to make Moscow reconsider its “unfriendly” foreign policy. Notwithstanding, a huge criticism comes up to modern American establishment, proclaiming that their approach “limits strategic flexibility particularly regarding the ability to adapt to changing conditions, and that such generic policies incur high political costs”. It may seem that US Government is only on the early stage of forming “Russian Containment 2.0”, however the fact is evident: they will keep on establishing new foreign policy, which is able to compete in modern conditions.
The object and subject. US-Russian relations can be determined as an object of this research, in its turn, US presidential doctrines that forms US strategy towards Russia is considered as a subject of current dissertation.
The definition of the principle concepts. Since we are to comprehend the phenomenon of US presidential doctrines, it is important to provide a definition for this term. According to Oxford dictionary, a doctrine can be defined as a set of instructions, beliefs, principles or positions that forms a branch of knowledge or a belief system. The term has come from Latin and has roots with the word catechism – a learning introduction to the Sacraments traditionally used in the Christian religious teaching of children and adult converts, thus a doctrine is related to religious principles, proclaimed by church. When we speak about the international relations study, a doctrine can be thought of being as a general statement of political leader, which forms a belief system about official foreign policy or military affairs towards a particular country or world/region. It is worth noting that there is distinction between political doctrine and political ideology. As Daniel Șandru claims, “ideology is more general than a doctrine, being a universal way of interpreting reality, from which derives the interpretation of political reality and within the framework of contemporary political reality, ideology stands in the proximity of political philosophy but is not confounded with it”. Thus, we consider a doctrine as not an ideology itself, but as method to form this ideology.
Furthermore, there is another significant concept in this study – Containment policy. It is largely acknowledged George F. Kennan gave recommendations in his “Long Telegram” for US Department, how the United States had to act towards Soviet Union, however he formulated the idea of containment in his another work “The sources of Soviet conduct”: “it is clear that the main element of any United States policy toward the Soviet Union must be that of long-term, patient but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies. It is important to note, however, that such a policy has nothing to do with outward histrionics: with threats or blustering or superfluous gestures of outward “toughness.”… it is a sine qua none of successful dealing with Russia that the foreign government in question should remain at all times cool and collected and that its demands on Russian policy should be put forward in such a manner as to leave the way open for a compliance not too detrimental to Russian prestige”.
Last but not least term is security dilemma. In the book “Political Realism and Political Idealism” John H. Herz mentioned security dilemma, explaining it: “Groups or individuals living in constellation must be concerned about their security from being attacked, subjected, dominated or annihilated by other groups or individuals. Striving to attain security from such attack, they are driven to acquire more and more power in order to escape the impact of power of others. This, in turn, renders the others more insecure and compels them to prepare for the worst. Since none can ever feel entirely secure…, the vicious circle of security and power accumulation is on”. In other words, group (state) always feels itself vulnerable, thus, there is always need to strengthen safeness, at the same time, other groups see how it increases its power, so they start to feel insecure and strengthen their security.
Research question of this Master’s thesis is how influential is the impact of US presidential doctrines in forming US foreign policy towards particular country (in our case, towards Russia) or world/region in past and in modernity. The central objective of this dissertation is the comparison of contemporary US foreign policy doctrines with the doctrines of the Cold War.
The aim is to determine a nature of evolution of Russia’s perception as an actor of international relations by different US presidential administrations.
Objectives. To achieve the aim, the following objectives have been set:
• To make overview of history of US-Russian relations and stress out significant moments that have influenced gravely on development of ties between two nations;
• To track down the changes of American-Russian relations in Post-Cold War period (from cooperation to tensions);
• To analyze US Doctrines towards Soviet Union and Russian Federation and find out what tendencies and methods affecting on forming Russian retaining policy in past and in current moment;
• To reveal the goals of US Government they pursue in world arena nowadays;
• To determine a legal framework of the United States, which provides modern stage of Containment policy.
The chronical frameworks of the study cover the huge period of history, starting the point when first official contacts between Russian Empire and the United States began during American Revolution. However, it must be admitted our interest is related with Cold War period due to this has been “the golden age” for US presidential doctrines, and also with Post-Cold war era as this period is a turning point of relationship between Washington and Moscow.
Methodology. This study has strong ties with the historical method in chapters one and two. Basically, this method was used for defining the tendencies of development of US-Russian relations and for examining the important moments that influence the most on the process of evolution of connections between Washington and Moscow. In chapter three, comparative method comes in handy to determine the capacities of modern doctrines and doctrines of Cold War era. The speeches and statements held by US presidents of Cold War and Post-Cold War periods undergone the content analysis. Finally, the system analysis was implemented throughout the study in order to provide better explanations.
Theoretical approach. During our research, we have provided the important concept of Neorealism approach – security dilemma, formulated by John H. Herz. The concept of security dilemma was applied to understand the logic of Trump’s current US foreign policy that is directed to military build-up. Furthermore, to comprehend the realities of Containment policy, we are to examine the past experience of such political experts like George F. Kennan, who has been representative of pragmatic political realism. Last but not least, we have implemented the discourse analysis that gives better understanding of the conditions and factors, which influence the political direction of modern US presidential doctrines.
Analysis of existing literature. US Presidential doctrines is not so new phenomenon for international relations, notwithstanding this aspect remains almost uncovered in academic field. There is a very huge monograph of Heiko Meiertöns that makes attempt to provide deep analysis of Cold War doctrines. In his book “The doctrines of US security policy: an evaluation under international law”, Professor Meiertöns examined the capacity of past doctrines, giving the evaluation of their legal framework, position of every US president on the use of the force and acceptability of doctrine’s implementation under international law. An important note is that there is variety of works about US foreign policy during Cold War, however, when we speak about doctrines of Post-Cold War, we have found out a lack of knowledge concerning this field.
To comprehend how US-Russian relations developed after collapse of the Soviet Union, our study got an inspiration from the work of Angela E. Stent “The limits of partnership: US-Russian relations in the twenty-first century”. Angela E. Stent is a foreign policy expert specializing in US and European relations with Russia and Russian foreign policy. She is Professor of Government at Georgetown University and director of its Center for Eurasian, Russian, and East European Studies, thus her knowledge in US-Russian ties is inestimable for our analysis. In her research, she examined a big period of US-Russian connections from Clinton administration to Obama’s tenure and estimated possibilities of forming friendly like atmosphere between Washington and Moscow and what insurmountable contradictions they have that can be a grave obstacle to forget “good old times” of Cold War era.
“The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism” is a book by the Canadian author and social activist Naomi Klein. She is well-known for her strong criticism of a corporate globalization and of neoliberal free market, advocated by Milton Friedman. Her analysis of shock therapy implemented in Russian dimension after collapse of USSR is quite useful due to she provides facts that set Russian people against the United States. Naomi Klein believes that Russian nation is sure American Government destroys Russian economy to weaken our country, notwithstanding the problem has been about not taking into account the specifics of Russian reality that are not suitable for Chicago school’s shock therapy. Considering this fact, professor Klein gives us understanding what push Moscow and Russian people into some mistrust and suspicion towards American nation.
In chapter three, we raise a question about Obama’s policy, which relies seriously on “soft power”. To get to the idea what is wrong about Obama’s approach, our research has references to the work of Colin S. Gray, British-American strategic thinker and professor of International Relations and Strategic Studies at the University of Reading, where he is the director of the Centre for Strategic Studies. Professor Gray is gravely critical to the possibility of replacing hard power by soft power, though he acknowledges that it becomes more difficult and more expensive to implement a military strength in modern realities. However, according to Colin S. Gray, it does not mean hard power should be diminished to secure some political decisions. What is more, soft power cannot be thought of as an instrument of policy as it really “depends upon the uncoerced choices of foreigners”, unlike the hard power, which is totally depends upon the decisions of policymakers.
Our dissertation is strongly related with neorealism, thus we are to use the knowledge and experience of the main founders of this approach like Kenneth Waltz, Robert Jervis and John Mearsheimer. The huge attention was paid to the phenomenon of security dilemma and how these scholars considered this subject. The vast attention was paid on a work by Robert Jervis “Cooperation Under the Security Dilemma”, where he made attempt to solve a stalemate created by debate of defensive realists (Waltz) vs. offensive realists (Mearsheimer) about inevitability of conflict in case of security dilemma. We also took into account the works made by realists like George F. Kennan and John H. Herz. John H. Herz taught International Relations from a critical, Realist perspective and elaborated the term security dilemma, which neorealists use even now in their researches. The contribution of George Kennan is priceless for realistic approach and for US foreign policy during Cold War; he has inspired many US presidents in forming their doctrines towards Soviet Union, thus it is unavoidable to examine his bibliography to comprehend the logic of containment policy.
The novelty of the study. Overview of literature shows that doctrinal aspect is not researched so well, especially considering the modern stage of doctrine’s implementation. This study provides a comprehensive study, by taking into consideration the existing publications on the matter and analyzing current trends, documents, speeches and discourse, using as many open sources on the topic as possible. Furthermore, modern tendencies demonstrate that containment policy towards Russia gains huge support in current American establishment, thus we are to find out what forms and methods US foreign policy will obtain at the moment.
Primary sources overview. To conduct the research, the large number of sources were analyzed. Official documents. Our research contains the analysis of American legal framework and international and bilateral treaties, which have provided a strong impact on international relations. We examined the official statements of US presidents in past and in modernity and their declarations concerning the state of US-Russian relations. Documents like National Security Strategy of Obama and Trump have the huge priority for analysis of current US foreign policy towards Russia. Speeches of US presidents also have great significance for current dissertation, where they have made statements about status of foreign affairs concerning Russia.
Materials of the digital media and online publications were also widely used in this Master’s thesis. Especially, it has a serious relevance for modern stage of world due to many analytics and critics use Mass-media coverage for expressing their view about US foreign policy. Such news agencies like RIA Novosti, the Guardian, BBC, Reuters, The New York Times, The Atlantic and so on play a very considerable role in acquaintance of people with trends US Government use now in forming their strategy to the current agenda. What is more, these informational resources provide the full texts of the majority of presidents’ speeches.
Interviews, conducted by news agencies or personally by author, also became a source of valuable information for this dissertation.
The structure of the work corresponds to the set objectives. Thus, the first chapter provides historical overview of American-Russian relations before Cold War, revealing the ambiguity of connection between two nations and analyzes Cold War doctrines as an example of how to form an efficient containment policy towards Soviet Union. In the second chapter, we are to examine US-Russian ties in Post-Cold War period for determining the reasons why a friendly partnership between Washington and Moscow has made a great recurrence to grave tensions. Finally, the third section is very important for our research as we are to give a deep analysis of modern doctrines of Obama and Trump that form a new direction for US foreign policy towards Russia. An attempt to predict how modern “Containment 2.0” will be developed by American establishment and what results they can achieve by these means has also been made.
