Russia is emerging as the new destabilising force on the international scene. It has increasingly shown disdain for fundamental standards and norms in international relations as exemplified by its policy towards Georgia and Ukraine. It has developed a new military doctrine which drastically lowers the threshold for use of nuclear weapons. What is the role of Russia-dominated Collective Security Treaty Organisation and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation? Are we going to see another “Yalta type” agreements between great powers dividing the world into separate spheres of influence?
