This is an excellent book. It is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand how Moscow sees its interests as well as how it goes about achieving them.

Mark N. Katz,George Mason University, USA

A brilliant discussion of the domestic and foreign sources of Russias return to the world as a major partner of the Western world in coping with the post-September 11 security environment. Must reading for anyone who seeks to understand how and why President Putin and his government act the way they do both at home and abroad.

Paul A. Goble (US),EuroCollege of the University of Tartu, Estonia

RUSSIAN GOVERNANCE IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY

This book analyses the cardinal changes that have recently occurred in the Russian state, its principles of governance and its foreign-policy orientation. It reviews the recent changes in Russian approaches to geo-strategy and the geopolitical development patterns that influenced the transformation of Russian military strategic thinking and foreign policy in the beginning of the twenty-first century. It draws attention to defence and security policies prior to and after 11 September 2001 and the evolution of civilmilitary relations in Russia. The book demonstrates how the scale of political, social-economic, territorial-administrative and military reforms clearly transformed the country in a systemic manner, which is unequalled since the collapse of the Soviet Union. As a result the book helps us to understand the roots and reasons for Russias decision to increase its engagement with the West after 11 September 2001, as well as the pitfalls of such geo-strategic shifts, the success of which should not be taken for granted.
