Abstract

This research analyses the motives behind Russia's military invasion of Ukraine's sovereign territory in 2022. The invasion is a continuation of Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014, and is part of a long history of conflict in the Eastern European region. This qualitative research focuses on Russia's perspective and how the country sees the main reasons for the conflict, namely the formation of 'the near abroad' policy and its link to the expansion of the US-led NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) alliance. Using the theory of structural realism, this study tries to provide preliminary assumptions of motives with the conditions of international structures and their impact on Russia. This assumption is then strengthened by the elaboration of opinions from related research subjects, which can confirm these assumptions.

Abstract

This article briefly explains the correlation between Ethiopia’s ambitious GERD project and the potential shift in power distribution in the region known as the Horn of Africa. The GERD (Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam) is a hydroelectric dam designed to drive economic growth by harnessing the Nile River as its core. Focusing on a regional-level analysis, this article will examine the relationship between the completion of the project and the shift in power distribution between Egypt as the local status-quo power, and Ethiopia as the regional challenger. Thus, the dramatic transition in regional structure is related to categorizing the Nile River as a finite natural resource. Using the multiple hierarchy model derived from power transition theory, this article sees that Egypt and Ethiopia view the Nile River as their primary national interest. Both countries perceive the reduced access to the river’s water as an existential threat to their sovereignty and safety. Thus, The GERD project becomes an instrument for Ethiopia to enhance its structural position as a challenger to Egyptian hegemony and gain the right to a more equitable water allocation. Thus, the completion of the project could pose a real threat not only to Egypt’s structural position but also to its survival as a state.
