Relations with Neighboring Countries
The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was formed by 12 of the 15 former Soviet Republics after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 to preserve some of the political and economic ties. Russia's relations with the CIS countries have, however, been dogged by mutual distrust. Sources of tension between Russia and CIS members include the issue of claim over military assets belonging to the Soviet Union and the status of Russians settled in the former Soviet republics.

Russia's relations with the neighboring Ukraine were particularly strained due to their dispute about the vital Black Sea Fleet and military installations on the Crimean peninsula. Kremlin's ham-handed but unsuccessful interference in a fraudulent November 2004 presidential election in Ukraine has been a serious setback for Russia. The setback is likely to have a corrosive effect on its influence in other former Soviet Republics as the failure reflects Kremlin's weakness, encouraging its neighbors to take a more independent line and seek closer ties with other more powerful countries. On the other hand, Russia's relations with its other neighbors such as China, Korea and Japan have generally improved since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Not surprisingly, permanent membership on the UN Security Council is a coveted international plum, and those countries that enjoy membership are empowered to virtually veto any substantive action on the part of the Security Council single-handedly (Carlson 9). In the alternative, if the Russian foreign policymakers accepted Germany's bid for membership, it might swing the balance of power from the existing China-Russia (and sometimes France) cabal that exists today
The UAE and IsraelIntroductionIsrael has been, for most of its existence, involved in some form of conflict with the Arab world. However, the Arab world itself is largely conflicted between the Sunni and Shia states. Israel�s recent pivot toward forming greater relations with the Sunni states has indicated an improvement in relations between Israel and at least part of the Arab world.

With this in mind communications strategy has to be developed and implemented. The central debate remains that of degree of uniformity. The pros and cons are obvious, i.e. economies of scale, consistent message across markets, centralized control, different market characteristics, media availability and costs and government regulations (Balabanis & Diamantopoulos, 2011).
