Reviews

'Incisive, well-informed and disturbing.' Edward Lucas, The Economist ’Much attention has been paid to Russia’s renewed vigour on the international stage and the perceived rise in anti-Western rhetoric. This excellent volume provides a timely analysis of the development of the country’s security policy under Putin and Medvedev, based predominantly on Russian source material.’ Slavonic and East European Review 'The Politics of Security in Modern Russia brings together quality academic research and sound assessments on security and security services in Russian policy development [and] has great value for readers looking to gain a better understanding of Russia’s security policies and how they are developed.'
