Russia Under Putin: Fragile State and Revisionist Power

The book’s contributors reveal how Russia—despite internal weaknesses that include a shrinking population, corruption, and economic dependency on volatile oil revenues—has become a well-armed state intent on undermining the international order. Through an examination of Russia’s military invasions of Ukraine, its increasing reliance on cyber warfare, and its internal suppression of civil liberties, the authors argue that Russia’s trajectory under Putin is both destabilizing and ominous… Engaging, timely, and thought-provoking, Russia Under Putin provides a nuanced view of a country whose ambitions will shape the twenty-first century—for better or worse.
