Counter-Terrorism as a Building Block for Putin's Regime

Book chapter

Baev, Pavel K.; Jakob Hedenskog; Vilhelm Konnander; Bertil Nygren; Ingmar Oldberg & Christer Pursiainen (2005) Counter-Terrorism as a Building Block for Putin's Regime, in Russia as a Great Power: Dimensions of Security under Putin. Abingdon (323–344).

Synopsis This book provides a comprehensive assessment of Russia's current security situation, addressing such questions as: What kind of player is Russia in the field of security? What is the essence of its security policy? What are the sources, capabilities and priorities of its security policy? What are the prospects for the future? One important conclusion to emerge is that, while Russian foreign policy under Putin has become more pragmatic and responsive to both problems and opportunities, the growing lack of checks and balances in domestic politics makes political integration with the West difficult and gives the president great freedom in applying Russia's growing power abroad.
