Abstract/Index
The origins of Armenia’s foreign policy, a history-embedded trajectory. The roots of the special relationship: from invitation to alignment. Soviet Armenia: the special relationship in the context of an affirmative action empire. Apricot socialism as the foundation of Armenian foreign policy. Nagorno-Karabakh: the main prism of the Armenian identitarian revival. Ter-Petrosyan’s mandate and the vulnerability of the Armenian way to multivectorialism. Between Russia and the West, the curse of identity politics and securitization. A methodological premise: between foreign-policy analysis and neo-realist balancing. A review of complementarism as Armenia’s strategic compass through the lens of FPA. The domestic dimension: memory diplomacy and strategic culture. The external dimension: foreign powers’ activism vis-à-vis complementarism. The war in Ukraine as an epiphany: evidence of limitation and quest for re-shape. Unmasking uni-vectorial reliance on Russia and the reverberations of Ukraine on the Caucasus. The velvet revolution against self-reinforcing trends. Kazakhstan as the antithesis of the Armenian case. Complex rebound: Pashinyan’s attempts towards neo-complementarianism and alternative partnerships.
