Geoeconomic vs. Geostrategic Conflicts. Case Study: Russia – Western World

Summary/Abstract: Among atypical conflicts, this article analyses two case studies, highlighting at the same time two types of conflicts – geoeconomic and geostrategic –, which were used by Russia as tools for managing the dynamics of the geopolitical frontier with the Western World, which got dangerously close to its borders over the last few years. Using an entire arsenal of tactics and strategies, both in the geoeconomic and in the geopolitical-geostrategic spheres, has allowed Russia, with the events in 2014 (annexation of the Crimean Peninsula) to leave the geopolitical recoil it was in after the USSR’s implosion and shift from a passively-defensive strategy to an active-aggressive one. Analysing the geopolitical phenomenon from the last two decades and a half has shown that this tactical reversal had all the elements of a preemptive geostrategy.
