Selected among Foreign Affairs's "Best of Books 2024" From a globally renowned expert on Russian military strategy and national security, The Russian Way of Deterrence investigates Russia's approach to coercion (both deterrence and compellence), comparing and contrasting it with the Western conceptualization of this strategy. Strategic deterrence, or what Dmitry (Dima) Adamsky calls deterrence à la Russe, is one of the main tools of Russian statecraft. Adamsky deftly describes the genealogy of the Russian approach to coercion and highlights the cultural, ideational, and historical factors that have shaped it in the nuclear, conventional, and informational domains. Drawing on extensive resea...
A gracefully written reflection on how small states can pack a punch that belies their size.
The formation of governments without a majority in parliament is a counterintuitive, albeit empirically relevant, phenomenon: minority governments make up about one-third of all governments in Europe. The author offers an analysis of the conditions leading to the formation of minority governments in Central and Eastern Europe and provides the reader with a detailed overview of the processes underlying the formation of governments from the early 1990s up to 2010.
This book analyzes the small Baltic States and their integration into the Euro-Atlantic structures from the perspective of the foreign policies of major powers - the United States, Russia, and major European powers and institutions - towards the region, or each of the Baltic States. While focusing primarily on the Post-Cold war period, it will also cover years of Baltic occupation, areas and matters related to their motivation and means to join the EU and NATO. Smallness, weaknesses and sensitivities as well as historic experiences of three Baltic States made the task to integrate with the Euro-Atlantic community urgent. This will be a valuable source of information for all interested in the Baltic States, foreign policies of major powers shaping events in the region, the surge of the Euro-Atlantic community and the Post-Cold War enlargement allowing small Baltic States to remedy their inherent security weaknesses.
De Russische inval in Oekraïne en het massaal verspreiden van desinformatie, zoals de kritiek op de Week van de Lentekriebels, zijn voorbeelden van Russische afschrikmethodes waarmee Rusland onrust probeert te creëren. In De Russische afschrikmethode toont Dmitry (Dima) Adamsky, expert op het gebied van militaire strategie en nationale veiligheid, op een toegankelijke wijze Rusland zijn militaire en strategische kundigheid inzet om vriend en vijand af te schrikken en biedt een inkijkje in de historische, culturele en psychologische factoren die deze aanpak zo uniek maken. De Russische afschrikmethode is een must-read voor de lezers van Rob de Wijk, Huib Modderkolk en iedereen met een interesse in geschiedenis die meer te weten wil komen over hoe Rusland zowel vijanden weet af te schrikken als bondgenoten weet te beïnvloeden.
