The Primakov’s concept – Multipolarity and Multilateralism: cooperative or rival cornerstones of a new world order – 4th Blue Sky Conference in Budapest – 7-10 November 2019
The concept of Greater Asia is definitely an essential and structural element in contemporary Russian global thinking . But the Kremlin is cautious about the fact that a multipolar order is already in the process of being established. The role and position of the US in military, economic, and financial matters, both in South East Asia and within the transatlantic alliance/ NATO/EU is still too strong to speak about a real demise of US hegemony or its loss of supremacy in global politics. Combined, and despite public declarations, the involved states act as cliental forces and stem against the transition of the present to some extent unipolar global system into a Multipolarity mode.
