Skriba, A. S. Energetic Component of the Balancing Policy of the Republic of Belarus

Abstract: The article is devoted to the balancing policy followed by the Republic of Belarus throughout the post-Soviet stage of development. The results of the research conducted by the author of the article show that over the last ten years the balancing policy has been mostly based on the energy economic relations with other countries and Russia in particular. Events of recent years show demonstrate that Belorussia has rather limited opportunities in using the energy. Nevertheless, different realism theories evidently prove that the balancing policy in general and the policy followed by Belorussia in particular have their own grounds. This allows to make a statement that a certain level of confrontation between Russia and Belorussia will continue and most likely to be complicated by interstate disagreements regarding energy resources. Noteworthy that Belorussia itself is putting forth efforts towards implementation of the balancing policy between Russia and the European Union despite the fact that Belorussia participates in the Customs Union and the European Economic Area.


Keywords:

regional policy, balancing policy, adjoining, Belorussia, European Union, energy economy, integration, common state, realism.
