Abstract

This journal provides a comprehensive examination of the evolving dynamics surrounding Russia's rise in global power and the challenges it encounters in aligning with Vladimir Putin's vision. By using the Smart Power concept, which uses military power and diplomacy to achieve goals on the international stage, it is known as "Smart power". We examine how Russia has become more dominant in the military, economic and energy sectors over the past 20 years. However, Russia's influence is not as great as expected despite progress. Russia’s strong military capabilities could neither create fear of the enemy nor form friendship as it should. In addition, this country's economy does not get the full benefits of alliances with other countries. Furthermore, Russia finds it difficultto build trust with other countries because Russia tendsto use violence ratherthan discussions disguised in diplomacy. This analysis reveals a complex picture of Russia's future, highlighting the need to bridge the gap between hard and soft power in order to have a more unified and influential presence in the international stage.

Abstract

This paper examines India's different nuclear posture adoption toward Pakistan and China. India has been developing its nuclear weapons to ensure its survival amidst ongoing tensions with Pakistan and China. However, India's relationship with China tends to be cooperative, while Pakistan tends to be conflictual. Theoretically, the mutual accumulation of nuclear power will increase tension and further deteriorate bilateral relations. Through posture optimization theory and Jervis' four worlds, this article qualitatively compares the two cases and its implication for their bilateral relations. The result shows that India's adoption of an assured retaliation posture that directly deters Pakistan affects their relationship to be hostile and leaves no possibilities for cooperation. On the contrary, the existence of the United States as India's strategic partner made China reluctant to be aggressive and opt for diplomatic settlements with India. India-Pakistani relations dynamics reflect Jervis's doubly dangerous world, while Sino-Indian relations reflect the second world unaffected by the accumulation of power, although there is an intense security dilemma.   Keywords: India; Pakistan; China; Nuclear Posture; Nuclear Policy
