The Russian Armed Forces in Transition

Although the role of the military in Russia has changed significantly since Soviet times, it continues to exert great influence on Russian politics, economy and society. This book presents a comprehensive overview of current developments related to Russias military sector. It considers recent military reforms, personnel issues, the defence industry and procurement, the defence economy, changes in civilmilitary relations and the continuing huge economic significance of Russias militaryindustrial complex. It explores difficulties currently faced by the Russian military, including problems of recruitment and leadership; analyses Russian security policy including in relation to Europe and more widely; and discusses the lessons learned by the Russian military as a result of the recent war in Georgia. The book argues that reform attempts have often been thwarted by bureaucracy, economy, strategy, manpower, weapon systems and leadership. The book concludes by assessing likely future developments.

Roger N. McDermott is a Senior Fellow in Eurasian Military Studies, The Jamestown Foundation, Washington, DC and Senior International Research Fellow for the Foreign Military Studies Office (FMSO), USA. His most recent book is The Reform of Russias Conventional Armed Forces: Problems, Challenges and Policy Implications.
