Description: Russia's Security Policy under Putin by Aglaya Snetkov This books examines the evolution of Russias security policy in the 21st century, using a social-constructivist approach. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book examines the evolution of Russias security policy under Putin in the 21st century, using a critical security studies approach. Drawing on critical approaches to security the book investigates the interrelationship between the internal-external nexus and the politics of (in)security and regime-building in Putins Russia. In so doing, it evaluates the way that this evolving relationship between state identities and security discourses framed the construction of individual security policies, and how, in turn, individual issues can impact on the meta-discourses of state and security agendas. To this end, the (de)securitisation discourses and practices towards the issue of Chechnya are examined as a case study. In so doing, this study has wider implications for how we read Russia as a security actor through an approach that emphasises the importance of taking into account its security culture, the interconnection between internal/external security priorities and the dramatic changes that have taken place in Russias conceptions of itself, national and security priorities and conceptualisation of key security issues, in this case Chechnya. These aspects of Russias security agenda remain somewhat of a neglected area of research, but, as argued in this book, offer structuring and framing implications for how we understand Russias position towards security issues, and perhaps those of rising powers more broadly.This book will be of much interest to students of Russian security, critical security studies and IR.

Conclusion Review Snetkovs monograph, based on a PhD dissertation at the University of Birmingham, provides a close reading of Russian security discourse from 1999–2014 through the prism of Chechnya. The author carefully documents how the Russian leadership switched from a frame of a "weak state" to a "strong state" before edging back toward a discourse of an embattled state threatened by external enemies—and their domestic collaborators—a theme that emerged by 2004.--P.

Rutland, Wesleyan University, CHOICE Aglaya Snetkovs monograph largely resolves many of these complexities through a variety of analytical techniques. She sets forth a convincing periodisation of Russias security pathways from the time Vladimir Putin was appointed prime minister in 1999 to the key caesurae of Russias annexation of Crimea in 2014. She includes a running case study of Chechnya as an object of Russias security policies and discourses over this timeframe, thereby mitigating the pitfall of adopting an overly conceptual approach to the subject. In addition, in her comprehensive analytical framework she is attentive to desecuritisation processes, which are most clearly reflected in Chechnyas evolution from state-breaker to state-maker...
