Abstract

From Moscow, the world looks different. It is through understanding how Russia sees the world–and its place in it–that the West can best meet the Russian challenge.Russia and the West are like neighbors who never seem able to understand each other. A major reason, this book argues, is that Western leaders tend to think that Russia should act as a "rational" Western nation–even though Russian leaders for centuries have thought and acted based on their country's much different history and traditions. Russia, through Western eyes, is unpredictable and irrational, when in fact its leaders from the czars to Putin almost always act in their own very predictable and rational ways. For Western leaders to try to engage with Russia without attempting to understand how Russians look at the world is a recipe for repeated disappointment and frequent crises. (provided by publisher)

Abstract

You might not be interested in Russia. But Russia is interested in you. How Russia Gets Its Way puts the pieces of the jigsaw together to explain how and why Russia pushes for more power and influence wherever it can reach -- and what it means not just for governments, but for ordinary people. Based on years of research into Russia's methods, it brings together investigations into the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power and organised crime to describe how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and how nobody is too unimportant to be caught up in them. From the Skripal poisoning to the recent attempts to assassinate Alexey Navalny, this book describes in new detail not only how Russia undertakes its espionage but why it gets away with it. Author Keir Giles has spent his career studying the Russian challenge and how best to meet it, as Moscow once again seeks to undermine its adversaries by any means it can. With eye-witness accounts from a dozen countries, and interviews with leading counterterrorism figures, How Russia Gets Its Way also brings to life the daily struggle going on behind the scenes to protect governments, businesses, societies and ordinary people from Russian hostility.

Abstract

You may not be interested in Russia. But Russia is interested in you. Russia's 2022 attack on Ukraine saw confrontation between Moscow and the West spill over into open conflict once again. But Russia has also been waging a clandestine war against the West for decades. Hostile acts abroad, from poisoning dissidents to shooting down airliners, interfering in elections, spying, hacking and murdering, have long seemed to be the Kremlin's daily business. But what is it all for? Why does Russia consistently behave like this? And what does it achieve?Now containing a new preface to the paperback edition, Keir Giles explains how and why Russia pushes for more power and influence wherever it can reach, far beyond Ukraine – and what it means not just for governments, but for ordinary people. Bringing together stories from the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power, organised crime and more, Giles describes how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and how nobody is too unimportant to be caught up in them. By lifting the lid on the daily struggle going on behind the scenes to protect governments, businesses, societies and people from Russian hostile activity, Russia's War On Everybody shows how Moscow's hostile intentions for the rest of the world are far broader and more ambitious, and the ways it tries to achieve them far more pervasive and damaging, than we realise.--Publisher's description

Abstract

"The application of international law and legal principles in cyberspace is a topic that has caused confusion, doubt, and interminable discussions between lawyers since the earliest days of the internationalization of the Internet. The still unresolved debate over whether cyberspace constitutes a fundamentally new domain that requires fundamentally new laws to govern it reveals basic ideological divides. On the one hand, the Euro-Atlantic community led by the United States believes, in broad terms, that activities in cyberspace require no new legislation, and existing legal obligations are sufficient. On the other, a large number of other states led by Russia and China believe that new international legal instruments are essential in order to govern information security overall, including those expressed through the evolving domain of cyberspace. Russia in particular argues that the challenges presented by cyberspace are too urgent to wait for customary law to develop as it has done in other domains; instead, urgent action is needed. This Letort Paper will provide an overview of moves toward establishing norms and the rule of law in cyberspace, and the potential for establishing further international norms of behavior."--Publisher's website.
