Abstract
With its invasion of Ukraine Russia has emerged as an open challenger to US hegemony and the so-called “liberal international” order. Russia not only presents a challenge to US leadership and the liberal international order, but also to International Relations (IR) theories, which have traditionally focused on rising powers as the most likely candidates to challenge existing hegemonic orders, ignoring the disruptive role that declining powers (such as Russia or Austria-Hungary) can play in power transitions.
