Abstract

russia's security policy is undeniably complex, a system of political, economic, and social networks that influence the identification of potential threats, and anticipates the steps necessary to strengthen the state's infrastructure. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, russia has had the difficult task of dealing not only with historically relevant issues, such as border control and maintaining international alliances, but with new concerns such as improving relations with former Soviet states and negotiating with potentially hazardous groups, such as NATO and the EU. While there are certainly different views on the topic of russia's security policy, in terms of whether their practices have demonstrated a continuous or changing context within which to frame their growing concerns, the matter is perhaps not quite so clear-cut; taking into consideration the many new challenges brought on by increasingly fast-paced globalization and the need for russia to adapt quickly while maintaining their autonomy and rich tradition, one could claim that the country's current security policy demonstrates both a change-in-progress coming to terms with the implications of continuous patterns.
