"The Russian annexation of Crimea was one of the great strategic
shocks of the past twenty-five years. For many in the West,
Moscow's actions in early 2014 marked the end of illusions about
cooperation, and the return to geopolitical and ideological
confrontation. Russia, for so long a peripheral presence, had
become the central actor in a new global drama. In this
groundbreaking book, renowned scholar Bobo Lo analyzes the broader
context of the crisis by examining the interplay between Russian
foreign policy and an increasingly anarchic international
environment. He argues that Moscow's approach to regional and
global affairs reflects the tension between two very different
worlds-the perceptual and the actual. The Kremlin highlights the
decline of the West, a resurgent Russia, and the emergence of a new
multipolar order. But this idealized view is contradicted by a
world disorder that challenges core assumptions about the dominance
of great powers and the utility of military might. Its lesson is
that only those states that embrace change will prosper in the
twenty-first century. A Russia able to redefine itself as a modern
power would exert a critical influence in many areas of
international politics. But a Russia that rests on an outdated
sense of entitlement may end up instead as one of the principal
casualties of global transformation. "
