After a period of relative weakness and isolation during most of
the 1990s, Russia is again appearing as a major security player in
world politics, a shift that will have profound effects for
regional and global stability and power relations.
This book provides a comprehensive assessment of Russia's current
security situation, addressing such topics as the type of player
the new Russia will be in the field of security, the essence of
Russian security policy, the sources, capabilities and priorities
of the countries security policy, and its prospects for the future.
One important conclusion to emerge is that, while Russian foreign
policy under Vladimir Putin has become more pragmatic and
responsive to both problems and opportunities, the growing lack of
checks and balances in domestic politics makes political
integration with the West very difficult and gives the president
very great freedom in applying Russia's growing power abroad. This
book analyzes both external and internal dimensions of security,
along with so-called hard and soft security issues and intricate
interplay between them.
This book will appeal to Russian and Eastern European scholars and
academics looking for the most up-to-date and erudite analysis of
Russia's current security situation.

After a period of relative weakness and isolation during most of
the 1990s, Russia is again appearing as a major security player in
world politics. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of
Russia's current security situation, addressing such questions as:
What kind of player is Russia in the field of security? What is the
essence of its security policy? What are the sources, capabilities
and priorities of its security policy? What are the prospects for
the future? One important conclusion to emerge is that, while
Russian foreign policy under Putin has become more pragmatic and
responsive to both problems and opportunities, the growing lack of
checks and balances in domestic politics makes political
integration with the West difficult and gives the president great
freedom in applying Russia's growing power abroad.
This book focuses on foreign policy decision-making from the
viewpoint of psychology. Psychology is always present in human
decision-making, constituted by its structural determinants but
also playing its own agency-level constitutive and causal roles,
and therefore it should be taken into account in any analysis of
foreign policy decisions. The book analyses a wide variety of
prominent psychological approaches, such as bounded rationality,
prospect theory, belief systems, cognitive biases, emotions,
personality theories and trust to the study of foreign policy,
identifying their achievements and added value as well as their
limitations from a comparative perspective. Understanding how
leaders in world politics act requires us to consider recent
advances in neuroscience, psychology and behavioral economics. As a
whole, the book aims at better integrating various psychological
theories into the study of international relations and foreign
policy analysis, as partial explanations themselves but also as
facets of more comprehensive theories. It also discusses practical
lessons that the psychological approaches offer since ignoring
psychology can be costly: decision-makers need to be able reflect
on their own decision-making process as well as the perspectives of
the others. Paying attention to the psychological factors in
international relations is necessary for better understanding the
microfoundations upon which such agency is based.
