Russia's military interventions in Georgia and Ukraine

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>In </span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Russia's Military Interventions</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> Elnur Ismayilov analyzes Russia's recent military interventions in Georgia and Ukraine by assessing the driving factors - the interests fueling Russian involvement and the decisions that fostered the resulting wars. Ismayilov covers the creation and transformation behind Russia's post-Soviet perspectives on Ukraine and Georgia and explores the panorama of post-Soviet Russia's foreign policy from the 1990s up to the turbulent present in which Ukraine and Georgia's pro-Western orientations have remained a core concern of the Kremlin. Thoughtfully Russia is fighting against being rated as a declining regional power and confronts a palpable clash of Russian nationalism and Western liberal democracy.</span></p><p><br></p>
