Why did Russia’s all-out war against Ukraine come as such a
surprise to the West? This is a key question considered by this
reflective and wide-ranging book. The book argues that Russia and
the West were playing different games: while Russia under Putin had
become obsessed with using hard power to restore the Cold War
security architecture in Europe, the major Western powers had
become equally obsessed with value promotion that would ensure a
global triumph for the values of the West, touted as “universal
values.” The Russian play for spheres of interest was clearly
defined and demarcated, the Western play for values was, by
definition, without limits. Hence there could be no common ground,
no constructive communication, and no common understanding. While
Russia convinced itself that it would be successful in forcing the
West to accept its claims for a new security order, based on hard
power, Western governments deluded themselves into believing that
value promotion would transform Russia into a liberal democracy and
a rules-based market economy. Examining the full situation,
exploring political, military, economic and business spheres, the
book provides a deep analysis of how the present confrontation has
come about.
