    KEY BESTSELLER MR. PUTINOperative in the Kremlin, Second EditionFiona Hill & Clifford G. Gaddy2015 533pp9780815726173 Paperback £27.50 / €31.00“If you want to begin to understand Russia today, read this book.” — Sir John Scarlett, former chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)

    Many Putin watchers believe that being able to anticipate the quixotic Russian president’s next move depends on uncovering the “real” Vladimir Putin. In this revised and updated edition, Fiona Hill and Clifford Gaddy argue that Putin is in fact a man of many complex identities. Drawing on a range of sources, including their own personal encounters, they describe six that are most essential: the Statist, the History Man, the Survivalist, the Outsider, the Free Marketeer, and the Case Officer.

    THE NEW RUSSIAN DIPLOMACYIgor S. IvanovOct 2017 204pp9780815733669 Paperback £23.50 / €26.00In this frank and engaging book, foreign minister Igor Ivanov describes the evolution of Russian foreign policy since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Drawing on

    better. The near-chaos of the early post-Soviet years has been replaced by an increasingly rigid authoritarianism. This volume examines how Putin’s autocracy has undercut Russia’s economy and chances for democracy.

    NEW RUSSIA IN DECLINEEdited by S. Enders Wimbush & Elizabeth M. PortaleJan 2018 200pp9780998666006 Paperback £20.50 / €24.00Russia is in precipitous decline, which is unlikely to be reversed. This conclusion, based on the research of Russian and American

    experts, constitutes the bottom line of The Jamestown Foundation’s project, Russia in Decline. Moreover, the tempo of Russia’s decay is accelerating across virtually every fragment of its politics, economy, society and military.The Jamestown Foundation

    KEY BESTSELLER RUSSIA AND THE NEW WORLD DISORDERBobo Lo2015 336pp9780815726098 Paperback £20.95 / €24.00 9780815725565 Hardback £27.95 / €32.00“Mr Lo’s book is the best attempt yet to explain Russia’s unhappy relationship with the rest of the world. It does not make

    comforting reading. Nor should it.” — The EconomistThe 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, had become the central actor in a new global drama. In this groundbreaking book, renowned scholar Bobo Lo analyses the broader context of the crisis by examining the interplay between Russian foreign policy and an increasingly anarchic international environment.

    Berlin “the patron saint among the commentators of the Russian scene.” Although the essays in this book were originally written to explore the tensions between Soviet communism and Russian culture, the thinking about the Russian mind that emerges is as relevant today as when the book first appeared more than a decade ago.

    A WORLD CHALLENGEDFighting Terrorism in the Twenty-First CenturyYevgeny M. PrimakovOct 2017 144pp9780815734215 Paperback £21.50 / €25.00In this candid and sobering account, former Russian premier Yevgeny Primakov considers the threats posed by

    independent terrorist organisations to the security of the global community. He recommends that the global community develop a comprehensive Charter on Terrorism to facilitate criminal prosecution of terrorism and urges Russia and the United States to join forces.
