Produktbeschreibung

The Routledge Handbook of Russian Security offers a comprehensive collection of essays on all aspects of Russian security and foreign policy by international scholars from across the world.

The theory and nature of Russian security policy

The domestic and foreign policy nexus

Instruments used by Russia in pursuing its security

Global and regional aspects of Russian security and foreign policy

Case studies of Russian involvement in a series of security conflicts.

The book concludes with case studies of the major examples of Russian involvement and operations in a series of security conflicts, including that in Georgia, the intervention in Ukraine and occupation of Crimea, and the ongoing Civil War in Syria.

This volume will be of great interest to students of Russian security, strategic studies, foreign policy, European politics, and International Relations in general.

Rezensionen

"The range of issues, the depth of their treatment, and the collection of authors-top scholars in the field makes the Routledge Handbook of Russian Security a must read for all those seeking to understand Russia's perspective on global security."-- Andrei P. Tsygankov, San Francisco State University, USA

"One of the doyens of Russia studies has pulled together a star-studded line up of outstanding writers who together have produced a truly impressive volume on Russian security policy. The term 'definitive' is sometimes used too liberally to describe only good books. But this is a truly outstanding work of scholarship to which the word 'definitive' can be attached without any hesitation at all."-- Michael Cox, London School Of Economics, UK

"Roger Kanet, a respected authority on the Soviet Union and post-communist Russia, has once again created an ensemble of top-flight scholars to explore many different aspects of Russian foreign policy. The essays in this superb book are both uniformly excellent and timely, and Kanet's introductions to each of its segments are invaluable in providing background and context."-- M. Rajan Menon, City College of New York / City University of New York, USA
