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.
