Russia's Military Strategy and Doctrine is designed to educate Russia watchers, policymakers, military leaders, and the broader foreign policy community about the Russian Armed Forces and security apparatus across the full spectrum of geographic, doctrinal and domain areas. Each chapter addresses a different strategic-level issue related to the Russian military, ranging from naval and maritime doctrine, to the role nuclear weapons play in its strategy, to cyber and electromagnetic warfare, to Moscow's posture in the Arctic or the Black Sea, to the lessons its Armed Forces have learned from their ongoing operations in Syria and eastern Ukraine. And each section of the book is written by one of the world's foremost experts on that theme of Russia's military development. The key questions emphasized by this book include how Russia fights wars and how its experiences with modern conflicts are shaping the evolution of Russia's military strategy, capabilities and doctrine. The book's value comes not only from a piecemeal look at granular Russian strategies in each of the theaters and domains where its Armed Forces may act, but more importantly this study seeks to present a unifying description of Russia's military strategy as a declining but still formidable global power. Russia's Military Strategy and Doctrine will be an essential reference for US national security thinkers, NATO defense planners and policymakers the world over who must deal with the potential military and security challenges posed by Moscow

Since the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis, there has been much talk of a new Cold War between the West and Russia. Under Putin's authoritarian leadership, Moscow is widely seen as volatile, belligerent and bent on using military force to get its way. In this incisive analysis, top Russian foreign and security policy analyst Dmitri Trenin explains why the Cold War analogy is misleading. Relations between the West and Russia are certainly bad and dangerous but - he argues - they are bad and dangerous in new ways; crucial differences which make the current rivalry between Russia, the EU and the US all the more fluid and unpredictable. Unpacking the dynamics of this increasingly strained relationship, the author makes a compelling case for handling Russia with pragmatism and care rather than simply giving into fear.

This monograph examines the nature and scope of the development of Moscow's armed forces and military capabilities, including its nuclear arsenal. The volume reviews how successful the recent acquisition and reform projects have been, and where these have fall short of initial goals. The dossier also considers the trajectory of future developments. There is particular focus on the impact of the 2008 New Look defence reforms and the effect these have had on the armed services, the subsequent adjustment to these reforms that took place under Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, and associated States Armament Programmes. The volume also provides insight into the lessons that Russia's armed forces are drawing from the intervention in Syria's civil war, the value of the experience gained and the effects this has had on the services' military plans and their equipment programmes. At a time when Russia's relations with many of its neighbours are increasingly strained, and amid renewed concern about the risk of an armed clash, this research is essential reading for understanding the state, capabilities and future of Russia's armed forces.
