Strange Unanchored PragmatismIn yesterday’s Financial Times, Janan Ganesh signs a strange column. He wonders why no political theory of international relations explains the war in Ukraine: not the optimistic “democratic capitalism” of Francis Fukuyama’s The End of History, nor the tribal (“cultural and religious”) ideal of “nations,” nor the “realist” theory of state interests. Only a “pragmatic,” […] The post Strange Unanchored Pragmatism appeared first on Econlib. read more

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Rossiya television network, Moscow, April 11, 2022Question: I would like to ask you about “strange” statements by European diplomats on the course of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell said it must be won on the battlefield. This doesn’t really jibe with the EU’s status as a primarily political and economic organisation. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier expressed regret over his earlier stance on the possibility of normal dialogue with Russia. So now he doesn’t think it’s possible. How is one supposed to talk with these people? How is one supposed to come to terms with them? read more
