School of World Economy and International Affairs announces call for postdoctoral positions

International laboratory on World Order Studies and the New Regionalism of the School of World Economy and International Affairs announces a new call for postdoctoral positions.

The Laboratory is focused on the study of regional trends and initiatives, which affect the global level of political and institutional organization of the international system. The last several decades have witnessed the ever-increasing spread of regional institutions and informal initiatives. This wave of the new regionalism opens up some key question regarding the long-term perspective of the global world order: Do regional institutions, régimes, and organizations contribute to global governance (e.g., financial stability, free trade, sustainable development, etc.)? Or, does regionalism fragment the global system and weaken its manageability? Do rising powers influence this trend and how can they use it to their advantage? The current projects undertaken by the Laboratory adopt a multidisciplinary approach,

• BRICS studies, evolution of the BRICS powers strategies towards the global economic, financial and security institutions
• Asia-Pacific regionalism and transformation of the regional international system
• Russian strategy in Eurasia: development of Greater Eurasia, relations with Eurasian powers and emergence of the new Eurasian regionalism
• Russia in the Asia-Pacific and Russia-China relations
• Rise of China, domestic and international origins of China's foreign policy
• Theoretical analysis of Russia’s foreign policy
