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."-- 541 $d 20230608. 600 1 $a Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, $d 1952- 650 $a Ideology $z Russia (Federation.) 651 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations. 651 $a Western countries $x Foreign relations $z Russia (Federation.) 941 $a 1 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230713113557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ECBBEFFA214711EEBC7340321FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
