1FUTURE OF RUSSIAN GLOBALIZATION
The term Globalisation has a strong resemblance with the idea of geographical expansion
of trade and commerce and develop the world economy intensely. Moreover, the dynamism of
the globalisation also ends the state orientated economic drives and makes a global exposure for
the business organisation. However, the national establishments and factors such as politics,
culture and culture are also played effectively in the process of influencing the globalisation
extensively. In this context, this essay is trying to discuss the role of future political, social and
cultural framework that can positively or negatively affecting Russia in globalisation.
The political dimension has a direct impact on the globalisation in Russia. As far as the
Russian intervention in globalisation is concerned, it can be stated due to the political
immobilisation halted the growth of the economy and becoming an obstacle in the path of
globalisation as well. After Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000, it ushered a new era in the
history of Russia (Zajda, 2015). The country started to transcend its economic territory outside
Russia and within 2007 Russia was able to bolster the foundation of global economy (Dufy,
2015). Despite of having a conservative mentality and protectionism the Putin government never
stopped the coming of international business organisation and surprisingly increased the global
trade volume for refurbishing the national economy.
However, the Russian government defines the notion of globalisation in a different
manner. As per the research of Romano and Romero (2014) it can be stated that Russia
condemned the neo-liberal approach of the West Europe. This neoliberal approach is considered
to be one of the major causer for escalating tension and chaos all around the world. Moreover,
Figge and Martens (2014) claimed that due to the immense dominance of the West in the
political cohesion of the world, moist of the under developed countries are facing threats to
safeguard their sovereignty as globalisation of the West created a threat for the independence of

the new world order. In this context, Russia sights a world full of mutual understanding,
sovereignty and cooperation that can lead to a better form of globalisation. However, there are
some disadvantages of the Russian political establishment outside its domain. For an instance,
the aggressive political measures in case of Siberia and continuous hostility towards the West
European countries made the dream of Russia into a nutshell. Moreover, the political aggression
and the theoretical concept of globalisation faced serious gaps of perception. In case of the
political discourses, often Russia itself violated its own perception of globalisation. In fact,
arguing against the Western Europe did not fit with the perception to make a better paradigm of
globalisation.
In an apparent assessment it can be stated that the Russian society practices a liberal
approach in case of sharing their views in an international platform. As per the research of
Mouraviev and Kakabadse (2014) the state sponsored protectionism that Russia had been used to
with is not prevalent in the present case scenario. The society is freer and the government
encourages different languages and societies to live the nation. In fact, through the research of
Minina (2014) it can be asserted that the liberal approach can also be seen in case of the social
norms. Many European MNCs have their office in Russia and the Russian expatriates are also
performed well enough in the global sphere. From that point of view, the social equality and the
harmonious nature of the Russian society paves the way for the country to shape itself towards
globalisation.
However, there are some astonishing factors that the can create huge damage to the
globalisation of Russia. According to Kohl and Brouwer (2014) within the national territory the
government is still very hostile toward its minority communities and continuous fight between
the two can jeopardise the social cohesion entirely. Moreover, the seclusion of the Russian
