Russian Security Policy in the Asia-Pacific Region: Two Views

摘要

Since the end of the Cold War and, in particular, the dissolution of the Union ofSoviet Socialist Republics, the tendency in the West was to overlook the new Russia's place in Asia. The authors discuss a wide range of Russian defense and security policies from civil-military relations to defense economics, and regional policies: Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia, and the Asia-Pacific Region, particularly Western and Russian views on Russian policy in East Asia and its challenges.
