Keir Giles (Author, Narrator), "Moscow Rules: What Drives Russia to Confront the West"
From Moscow, the world looks different. It is through understanding how Russia sees the world-and its place in it-that the West can best meet the Russian challenge.
Russia and the West are like neighbors who never seem able to understand each other. A major reason, this book argues, is that Western leaders tend to think that Russia should act as a "rational" Western nation-even though Russian leaders for centuries have thought and acted based on their country's different history and traditions. Russia, through Western eyes, is unpredictable and irrational, when in fact its leaders almost always act in their own predictable and rational ways. For Western leaders to try to engage with Russia without attempting to understand how Russians look at the world is a recipe for repeated disappointment and crises.
Keir Giles, a senior expert on Russia at Britain's prestigious Chatham House, describes how Russian leaders have used consistent doctrinal and strategic approaches to the rest of the world. These approaches may seem alien in the West, but understanding them is essential for successful engagement with Moscow. Giles argues that understanding how Moscow's leaders think-not just Putin but his predecessors and eventual successors-will help counterparts in the West develop a less crisis-prone and more productive relationship with Russia.
Moscow Rules: What Drives Russia to Confront the West (Keir Giles) (2019)
Publisher: Wydawnictwo: Brookings Institution Press
Keir Giles surveys Russia's history and the present day to explain why its current leadership feels it has no choice but to challenge and attack the West. Recognising and accepting that this will not change in the near future will help the West find a way of dealing with Russia without risking a deeper conflict.
This book is for anyone that cannot understand why Russia and its leaders behave as they do.
The relationship between Russia and the West is once again deep in crisis. A major reason is that Western leaders have too often believed or hoped that Russia sees the world as they do - but things look very different from Moscow. This book shows that efforts at engagement with Russia that do not take this into account are a key reason for repeated disappointment and crisis.
In confronting the West, Russia is implementing strategic and doctrinal approaches that have been consistent for centuries. The roots of current Russian behaviour and demands can be traced not just to the Soviet era, but back into Tsarist foreign and domestic policy, and further to the structure and rules of Russian society. But this also gives the US and the West pointers for how to behave - and how not to - in order to manage the challenge of Russia effectively, based on past experience of both successful and unsuccessful engagement with Moscow.
The book recognizes the reality of confrontation and provides an essential introduction to grasping why Russia sees it as inevitable. Consequently, it offers a basis for building a less crisis-prone relationship with Russia.
