This book provides a future framework of Russia’s geopolitical strategic interests and outlook. It presents a larger picture of Russia’s political realities and shares insights on how to understand and solve the problems affecting US-Russian relations and the world.The book addresses three primary questions relevant to the current global context: Will current geopolitical shifts greatly benefit Russia’s long-term global objectives? What foreign policy will Russia pursue in the Middle East and the Baltic regions to guarantee the security of its strategic interests? And will major powers confront one another over resources that could trigger military conflict, or will they choose appeasement to maintain peace and stability in this new era? By doing so, the book offers a glimpse into the future geopolitical landscape and what that shift may look like 10, 20, or 30 years from now. It therefore is a must read for scholars and researchers of international relations and political science, as well as professionals, practitioners and analysts, interested in a better understanding of the changing global order and Russia’s geopolitical strategic interests.weiterlesen
