The Sources of Russian Foreign Policy Assertiveness
This book explores the sources of Russia’s foreign policy conduct since the end of the Cold War. It is aimed at those interested in Russian foreign policy, international security, and diplomacy.

The challenges to Russia’s security interests from Western policies led to an increase in Russian foreign policy assertiveness. As a result, Russia is bec...

Breaking Point
The post-Cold War order established by the United States of America is currently at a crossroads. No longer is the liberal order and United States hegemonic power a given. Moscow and Beijing have both begun their challenges to the United States. While long dissatisfied with US hegemony, in February, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military. The response by the United States and its allies was swift and unprecedented.

How Iran Plans to Fight America and Dominate the Middle East
With the creeping possibility of a nuclear breakout, its vigorous sponsorship of international non-state armed groups and its escalating intervention next door in Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories; the Islamic Republic of Iran is a triple threat - at least - to international security and America and Western's Middle Eastern interests. Indeed, perhaps no country, according to the West, fits the definition of rogue state as well as Iran does. Making matters worse, Iran's confidence and clout in the region - and beyond - are indubitably on the rise. But that is only the beginning. Shiite Persian Iran is not content with being just an inconsequential pariah. Iran has grand ambitions....
De Russische afschrikmethode
'De Russische afschrikmethode' van Dmitry (Dima) Adamsky is een indrukwekkende studie van hoe Rusland de wereld angst aanjaagt. 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.
