Book Synopsis Shifting Priorities in Russia's Foreign and Security Policy by : Rémi Piet
Download or read book Shifting Priorities in Russia's Foreign and Security Policy written by Rémi Piet. This book was released on 2016-03-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the resurgence of Russian economic capabilities and of Russia's role as a regional, even global, political actor, much of the literature written more than 4-5 years ago is already dated. The editor and contributors to this timely volume draw upon a broad range of analysts who deal with various aspects of Russian relations with its neighbours to the West and to the East. Implications for Russian foreign and security policy are key to understanding Russia's position in the 21st Century. Readers in Russian foreign and security policy; European, Eurasian, and Asian security; and contemporary international politics/security will find this volume invaluable.

Book Synopsis Russian Foreign Policy in the Twenty-First Century and the Shadow of the Past by : Robert Legvold
Download or read book Russian Foreign Policy in the Twenty-First Century and the Shadow of the Past written by Robert Legvold. This book was released on 2007-03-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the turbulent trajectory of Russia's foreign policy since the collapse of the Soviet Union echoes previous moments of social and political transformation, history offers a special vantage point from which to judge the current course of events. In this book, a mix of leading historians and political scientists examines the foreign policy of contemporary Russia over four centuries of history. The authors explain the impact of empire and its loss, the interweaving of domestic and foreign impulses, long-standing approaches to national security, and the effect of globalization over time. Contributors focus on the underlying patterns that have marked Russian foreign policy and that persist today. These patterns are driven by the country's political makeup, geographical circumstances, economic strivings, unsettled position in the larger international setting, and, above all, its tortured effort to resolve issues of national identity. The argument here is not that the Russia of Putin and his successors must remain trapped by these historical patterns but that history allows for an assessment of how much or how little has changed in Russia's approach to the outside world and creates a foundation for identifying what must change if Russia is to evolve. A truly unique collection, this volume utilizes history to shed crucial light on Russia's complex, occasionally inscrutable relationship with the world. In so doing, it raises the broader issue of the relationship of history to the study of contemporary foreign policy and how these two enterprises might be better joined.

Book Synopsis Russia in Word and Deed by : David Kiel
Download or read book Russia in Word and Deed written by David Kiel. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Vladimir Putin's national security, foreign policy, and military doctrines have been designed to demonstrate Russia's pacific intentions and firm commitment to international law to the rest of the international community. However, the Russian leadership's rhetoric has grown increasingly divorced from the reality of its national security policies, dating back to the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Since then, the Putin regime has undertaken several distinct policy breaks with the past, including the return to meaningful military alliances and mutual security arrangements such as the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, unilateral diplomatic actions such as granting political recognition to Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and using hydrocarbons as a tool of foreign policy. While the rhetoric of the Russian leadership suggests that the state remains on the path of providing good international governance, the state's policies indicate that Putin is willing to challenge the international community over Russia's national security interests.
