Abstract

The current conflict in Ukraine has spawned the most serious crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War. It has undermined European security, raised questions about NATO's future, and put an end to one of the most ambitious projects of US foreign policy - building a partnership with Russia. It also threatens to undermine US diplomatic efforts on issues ranging from terrorism to nuclear proliferation. And in the absence of direct negotiations, each side is betting that political and economic pressure will force the other to blink first. Caught in this dangerous game of chicken, the West cannot afford to lose sight of the importance of stable relations with Russia. This book puts the conflict in historical perspective by examining the evolution of the crisis and assessing the implications both for the Crimean peninsula and for Russia's relations with the West more generally. Experts in the international relations of post-Soviet states, the authors clearly show what is at stake in Ukraine, explaining the key economic, political, and security challenges and prospects for overcoming them. They also discuss historical precedents, sketch likely outcomes, and propose policies for safeguarding US-Russia relations in the future. In doing so, they provide a comprehensive and accessible study of a conflict whose consequences will be felt for many years to come.

Abstract

This report examines the fundamental factors that will determine the direction of Russia's security policy and military doctrine. The report argues that if Russia remains a truncated empire, neo-imperialism is likely to dominate its national security policy and military doctrine, which would be oriented toward reconstituting its internal empire and expanding through force and intimidation into its old spheres of influence in Eastern and Central Europe and Asia. However, the report also argues that the greatest threat to Russia's national security is from within (from both economic collapse and significantly diminished military capability) and that the path taken by Russia's political leaders toward resolving that crisis will determine its military doctrine and the face it presents to the outside world. The report concludes that given these uncertainties, U.S. policymakers have few, if any, options for significantly affecting the outcome of Russia's internal transformation. However, these uncertainties also underscore the importance of continuing U.S. involvement and military presence in Europe as a stabilizing force.

Abstract

This report analyzes the conflict within the Soviet armed forces that has developed as a result of the ongoing discussions about a fundamental reorganization into an all-volunteer/professional army or a territorial militia. It follows the rapid progression of the public debate, from its inception in 1988 to the present, where it has become a key issue on the Soviet national security agenda. The author identifies the major groups involved in discussions about military reform, examines their arguments, and assesses the impact of these discussions on the Soviet military institution. He suggests that the expendability of the existing High Command could lead to a cure for the intramilitary split and an opportunity for a radical transformation of the military institution and national security decisionmaking in the Soviet Union.
