This book examines Russia's new assertiveness and the role of
energy as a key factor in shaping the country's behavior in
international relations, and in building political and economic
power domestically, since the 1990s. Energy transformed Russia's
fortunes after its decline during the 1990s. The wealth generated
from energy exports sparked economic recovery and political
stabilization, and has significantly contributed to Russia's
assertiveness as a great power. Energy has been a key factor in
shaping Russia's foreign relations in both the Eurasian and global
context. This development raises a host of questions for both
Russia and the West about the stability of the Russian economy, how
Russia will use the power it gains from its energy wealth, and how
the West should react to Russia's new-found political weight. Given
that energy is likely to remain at the top of the global political
agenda for some time to come, and Russia's role as a key energy
supplier to Europe is unlikely to diminish soon, this book sheds
light on one of the key security concerns of the 21st century:
where is Russia headed and how does energy affect the changing
dynamics of Russia's relations with Europe, the US and the
Asia-Pacific region. This book will be of interest to students of
Russian politics, energy security, international relations and
foreign policy in general. Jeronim Perovic is a senior researcher
at the Center for Security Studies at ETH Zurich. Robert Orttung is
a visiting scholar at the Center for Security Studies at the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich and a senior fellow
at the Jefferson Institute. Andreas Wenger is professor of
international security policy and director of the Center for
Security Studies at ETH Zurich.
