RUSSIA AND THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
by Bobo Lo

The Russian annexation of Crimea was one of the great strategic shocks of the past twenty-five years. For many in the West, Moscow’s actions in early 2014 marked the end of illusions about cooperation, and the return to geopolitical and ideological confrontation. Russia, for so long a peripheral presence, has become the central actor in a new global drama. This groundbreaking book analyzes the broader context of the crisis by examining the interplay between Russian foreign policy and an increasingly anarchic international environment.
