The work contains the analysis of Southeast Asian region. But the author concentrates more concretely on the study of Vietnam being today the object of a special scientific interest, while it is an actively developing new middle power. In contradistinction to former attempts to explain the phenomenon of middle powers through the prism of their relations with great powers this work emphasizes the role of regional integration groupings and institutions in foreign policy of middle powers as a tool to enhance their influence on the international scene. Despite the fixation of such a phenomenon as “a middle power” in many scientific publications, current science on international relations possesses no fundamental theory comprehensively explaining this phenomenon. The author of the thesis has made an attempt to formulate general criteria of singling out middle powers taking into account qualitative and quantitative indices. The results of the investigation permit to bring forward a preliminary formulation of the regularities of middle powers’ foreign policy behavior (the pattern of Vietnam), which allows to move on towards better conceptualization of this phenomenon.

For the first time, the dissertation has analyzed common traits and distinctions in the position of foreign Chinese in both the countries. Also, historic pre-requisitions of these similarities and distinctions have been observed and their probable consequences have been predicted. For the first time in Russian historiography the author has revealed the role of geopolitical factors, such as “instability arcs”, in the development mechanism of Chinese diasporas in modern and recent history of Vietnam and Thailand. It has been mentioned that currently Thailand and Vietnam are forced to balance constantly between the interests of China and the US in foreign policy, though often neither Вьетнамские исследования.
