Books by Richard Weitz

This book offers an expert analysis of Russia's foreign and military defense policies since the Federation was established in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Specifically, War and Governance: International Security in a Changing World Order analyzes a number of critical issues such as whether regional security institutions have distinct advantages and liabilities in promoting international security, as compared with universal organizations like the United Nations.

Argues that opportunities for improving further security cooperation between Russia and the United States exist but are limited; near-term results in the areas of formal arms control or ballistic missile defences are unlikely; and the two governments should focus on improving their joint threat reduction and nonproliferation programmes.
