This RAD issue examines Russian public narratives about foreign policy. More specifically, Sarah Oates and Sean Steiner first decode Russia’s strategic narrative, noting that while its roots are in Soviet propaganda, its contemporary storylines are more organic and dynamic. Tina Burrett then compares coverage of China and the US on Russian TV news, highlighting a shift in 2004, after which China has been depicted more positively and the US more negatively.

The Use of Smart Pressure to Resolve Civil Wars

Allard Duursma

Center for Security Studies (CSS)

Allard Duursma contends that mediated peace agreements in civil wars often fail to bring about lasting peace, largely as a result of the use of pressure. To help address the problem, Duursma recasts how we think about such pressure by introducing the notion of smart pressure, which recommends that 1) mediators should ensure that conflict parties largely own peace processes; 2) mediators should only apply pressure when the conflict parties can live with the endpoint of its use; and 3) chief mediators should coordinate and manage pressure from external third parties.
