Preparing for War?: Moscow Facing an Arc of Crisis: The LeTort Papers
Autor Andrew Monaghan Ph.D. Editat de Strategic Studies Institute (U.S.)en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 feb 2017 – vârsta de la 18 ani
The
Russian
state
is
mobilizing.
This
means
that
the
top
leadership
is
moving
the
country
onto
a
war
footing
in
order
to
address
what
Moscow
sees
as
an
arc
of
crisis
around
Russia
and
a
period
of
great
turbulence
in
international
affairs.
Risks
are
seen
in
Moscow
to
include
the
possibility
of
the
outbreak
of
war
and
regional
instability
caused
by
Western-led
wars
of
regime
change
that
could
directly
affect
Russia.
This mobilization has been under way for some time, and is best understood as a process of consolidation and preparation: the Russian leadership sees war as a test of society, and despite its actions during the Ukraine crisis and in Syria, understands that Russia is not yet ready for such a test. This is because the Russian system, although in some respects powerful, is often dysfunctional. Russia also bears a heavy Soviet inheritance, including limited and decrepit infrastructure, and the military has endured many years of underfunding and neglect.
This consolidation is reflected in a series of measures to strengthen the political system both in terms of ensuring the implementation of orders and also of its resilience against potential civil disobedience and threats posed by extremism and terrorism. The leadership is also conducting a major effort to modernize the military, including a major investment program, enhancements to command and control, and frequent no-notice exercises to test readiness and responsiveness,
U.S. military soldiers, leaders, defense planning strategists, political scientists, and economists may be interested in this volume. Additionally, students pursuing coursework in Globalization and Communications, Russian Studies, and military science degree programs may be interested in this work for research.
