This volume examines the role of Russia in the world under President Putin’s rule.

When the Soviet Union disintegrated after the Cold War, Russia seemingly embarked on the establishment of a democratic political system and seemed intent on joining the liberal international order. However, under President Putin’s rule, there have been dramatic shifts in Russian domestic and foreign policies, in order to re-establish itself as a great power. This book examines broad aspects of Russian political culture and threat perception, such as Russia’s reaction to NATO expansion; its information warfare and energy policies; and its policy towards the Global South, especially the Middle East and Africa. The objective of the analyses is to explain the factors that influence Russian foreign policy, and to show how and why Russian relations with the European Union and the United States have deteriorated so rapidly in recent years. The volume introduces an alternative approach to the standard realist perspective, which often underlies existing analyses of Russian policy – namely, the work offers a theoretical perspective that focuses on the Russian sense of identity and on ontological security.

This book will be of much interest to students of Russian foreign policy, security studies, and International Relations.

Reviews for Russia and the World in the Putin Era: From Theory to Reality in Russian Global Strategy

'the book persuasively explains Russia's ambitious foreign policy under Putin and can be a valuable reference for researchers and casual readers. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and the rationale behind it, support the argument defended throughout the book: Russian foreign policy revolves around preventing the eastward expansion of NATO. ... Overall, the book illustrates new perspectives on Russia's actions and its position on the grand chessboard of Eurasia and beyond.'--Halil Ibrahim Buyukmehmetoglu, International Affairs
