Book Event: Russia Resurrected: Its Power and Purpose in a New Global Order
Too often, we are told that Russia plays a weak hand well. But, perhaps the nation's cards are better than we know. Russia ranks significantly behind the US and China by traditional measures of power: GDP, population size and health, and military might. Yet 25 years removed from its mid-1990s nadir following the collapse of the USSR, Russia has become a supremely disruptive force in world politics.
In Russia Resurrected, Kathryn E. Stoner assesses the resurrection of Russia and argues that we should look beyond traditional means of power to assess its strength in global affairs. Considering how Russian domestic politics under Vladimir Putin influence its foreign policy, Dr. Stoner explains how Russia has battled its way back to international prominence.
