Is it because Putin is a brilliant strategist? Or has Russia stepped into a vacuum created by the West's distraction with its own domestic problems and US ambivalence about whether it still wants to act as a superpower? Putin's World examines the country's turbulent past, how it has influenced Putin, the Russians' understanding of their position on the global stage and their future ambitions -- and their conviction that the West has tried to deny them a seat at the table of great powers since the USSR collapsed. This book looks at Russia's key relationships -- its downward spiral with the United States, Europe, and NATO; its ties to China, Japan, the Middle East; and with its neighbors, particularly the fraught relationship with Ukraine. PUTIN'S WORLD will help Americans understand how and why the post-Cold War era has given way to a new, more dangerous world, one in which Russia poses a challenge to the United States in every corner of the globe -- and one in which Russia has become a toxic and divisive subject in US politics."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 407-410) and index. 505 0 $a The weight of the past -- The Russian idea -- Ambivalent Europeans -- Russia and Germany : the fateful relationship -- The "main opponent" : Russia and NATO -- Russia and its "near abroad" : how civilized a divorce? -- "The past is always changing" : Russia and Ukraine -- Russia and China : duo of the willing? -- Wary neighbors : Russia and Japan in the shadow of World War Two -- The new power broker : Russia and the Middle East -- Three failed resets : Russia and America before the Trump era -- The rivals : Russia and America in the age of Trump -- What kind of engagement with Russia? 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations. 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Politics and government $y 1991- 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations $z Western countries. 651 0 $a Western countries $x Foreign relations $z Russia (Federation) 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Russia (Federation) 650 0 $a Ideology $z Russia (Federation) 941 $a 8 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804023405.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20200110012253.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190702012546.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20190618010955.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605012622.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20190514011625.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20190314010154.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190306010102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=80B2CFAE3FDD11E9A7F5176897128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
