As Russia's war in Ukraine enters its fourth year and great power competition intensifies, understanding Putin's influence on world affairs has never been more critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePutin's Geopolitical Influence 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e offers what no other book on Russian foreign policy provides: a rigorously balanced, multi-perspectival analysis that integrates Western academic traditions with Chinese, Russian, and Global South frameworks. Dr. Naim Tahir Baig, author of over 100 internationally published works on geopolitics and international relations, presents competing interpretations side by side-allowing readers to engage critically with the evidence and form their own informed assessments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive volume examines Putin's influence across every major theater of geopolitical competition. From the contested neighborhoods of the post-Soviet space-where Ukraine's fate hangs in the balance-to the shifting sands of the Middle East following Assad's fall in Syria; from the deepening Russia-China \"no limits\" partnership that reached a record $245 billion in bilateral trade in 2024, to Moscow's expanding footprint in Africa through the Wagner Group and its successors; from BRICS expansion that now encompasses eleven member nations representing nearly half the world's population, to the systematic challenge Russia poses to the Western-led liberal international order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on primary sources including Putin's major speeches, Russian foreign policy doctrines (2000-2023), official documents, verified data from SIPRI, the IMF, World Bank, and Levada Center polling, as well as peer-reviewed scholarship from Western, Chinese, and Global South academic institutions, Dr. Baig constructs the most comprehensive analytical framework available for understanding Russian geopolitical power in the contemporary era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses questions that define our geopolitical moment: Has Putin's gamble in Ukraine strengthened or weakened Russian influence globally? How has the \"no limits\" partnership with China evolved, and what does the growing asymmetry in this relationship portend? Why do two-thirds of the world's governments decline to join Western sanctions against Russia? What explains the resonance of Russian anti-Western narratives across the Global South? And what scenarios might unfold for Russian geopolitical influence in the post-Putin era?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePutin's Geopolitical Influence 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e is essential reading for scholars of international relations, policy analysts, security professionals, diplomats, journalists covering global affairs, graduate students, and informed citizens seeking to understand the forces reshaping our world. With its commitment to epistemic humility, transparent sourcing, and multi-perspectival analysis, this volume sets a new standard for scholarship on contemporary Russian foreign policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-perspectival methodology\u003c\/strong\u003e integrating Western, Chinese, Russian, and Global South analytical frameworks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive regional coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e spanning post-Soviet space, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary source foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e with all claims traceable to verifiable references\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpdated 2025 data\u003c\/strong\u003e including latest developments in Ukraine conflict, BRICS expansion, and Russia-China relations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScenario analysis\u003c\/strong\u003e for future trajectories of Russian geopolitical influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtensive reference apparatus\u003c\/strong\u003e including chronology, primary source repository, and annotated bibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dr Naim Tahir Baig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47574039101591,"sku":"9798233169847","price":2380.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798233169847.webp?v=1774894471","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/putins-geopolitical-influence-2025-9798233169847","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
