About this book
The book addresses three primary questions relevant to the current global context: Will current geopolitical shifts greatly benefit Russia’s long-term global objectives? What foreign policy will Russia pursue in the Middle East and the Baltic regions to guarantee the security of its strategic interests? And will major powers confront one another over resources that could trigger military conflict, or will they choose appeasement to maintain peace and stability in this new era?
Thus, the book offers insights into the future geopolitical landscape. It therefore is a must-read for scholars, researchers of international relations and political science, as well as professionals, practitioners and analysts, interested in a better understanding of the changing global order and Russia’s geopolitical strategic interests.
Reviews
“This book is a comprehensive, thought provoking understanding of how and why a once collapsed USSR returned as the Russian Federation and today is a major challenger for global and regional dominance, especially over the USA and Western Europe. You may not agree with all the assessments and predictions, but you will find that Dr. Oualaalou’s frank and bold writing style comes with personal integrity, first-hand military experience, and solid geopolitical knowledge.” (William A. Mitchell, Colonel USAF, Ret. and Professor Emeritus, Baylor University. Author of Baylor in Northern Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, 2016)
“Dr. Oualaalou provides a compelling look at a frequently underestimated player on the world stage, from the unique perspective of an insider who is both a scholar and has served as the ‘boots on the ground’ in many conflict zones.” (David Schleicher, attorney for U.S. government employees around the world in job-related disputes)
