Military reform has featured prominently on the agenda of many
countries since the end of the Cold War necessitated a
re-evaluation of the strategic role of the armed forces, and
nowhere more publicly than in Russia. Not since the 1920s have the
Russian Armed Forces undergone such fundamental change. President
Boris Yeltsin and his successor Vladimir Putin have both grappled
with the issue, with varying degrees of success. An international
team of experts here consider the essential features of Russian
military reform in the decade since the disintegration of the USSR.
Fluctuations in the purpose and priorities of the reform process
are traced, as well as the many factors influencing change.
Chapters analyse the development of Russia's security policy,
structural reform of the services, the social impact of military
service and experience of military conflict in Chechnya. Critical
evaluations of the impact of social change on the Russian Armed
Forces' capabilities and expectations complement the analysis of
the on-going debate. Russian Military Reform, 1992-2002 will prove
invaluable to all those interested in civil-military relationships
and international security as well as to students of military
theory and practice.
