Russian resurgence in the international arena has been one of the
most controversial topics in European security in recent months.
What drives Russian foreign policy at the end of the Putin era?
Does it reflect the intensifying domestic struggle between factions
and interest groups manoeuvring for dominance of the Kremlin? Is
Russian international behaviour a product of the commercial
pursuits of Russian energy exporters? Is it a policy fuelled by
neoimperial ambition and desire to bring back under Moscow's
control lands conquered by a succession of Russian emperors over
more than two centuries? Or are we witnessing Moscow's painful
adaptation to its new, diminished circumstances, and its attempts
to develop a new international posture in relation to militarily
vastly superior neighbours in Europe and Asia? And, last but not
least, how should Europe and the United States respond to the new
Russian foreign policy?
These are the questions that will be addressed in this Adelphi
Paper. The paper will examine the key drivers of Russian foreign
policy - domestic politics and economic, military and security
considerations - and conclude with recommendations for Western
policymakers on how to deal with Russia's return to the
international arena as an assertive actor after its long period of
introspection and preoccupation with domestic troubles. The paper
should be of interest to scholars, policymakers and non-specialists
interested in Russia and international relations.
