This book examines the evolution of Russia s security policy
under Putin in the 21st century, using a critical security studies
approach.
Drawing on critical approaches to security the book investigates
the interrelationship between the internal-external nexus and the
politics of (in)security and regime-building in Putin s Russia. In
so doing, it evaluates the way that this evolving relationship
between state identities and security discourses framed the
construction of individual security policies, and how, in turn,
individual issues can impact on the meta-discourses of state and
security agendas. To this end, the (de)securitisation discourses
and practices towards the issue of Chechnya are examined as a case
study.
In so doing, this study has wider implications for how we read
Russia as a security actor through an approach that emphasises the
importance of taking into account its security culture, the
interconnection between internal/external security priorities and
the dramatic changes that have taken place in Russia s conceptions
of itself, national and security priorities and conceptualisation
of key security issues, in this case Chechnya. These aspects of
Russia s security agenda remain somewhat of a neglected area of
research, but, as argued in this book, offer structuring and
framing implications for how we understand Russia s position
towards security issues, and perhaps those of rising powers more
broadly.
This book will be of much interest to students of Russian
security, critical security studies and IR."
