And What it Means for You
Russia’s 2022 attack on Ukraine saw confrontation between Moscow and the West spill over into open conflict once again. But Russia has also been waging a clandestine war against the West for decades. Bringing together stories from the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power, organised crime and more, Russia’s War On Everybody describes how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and what it means not just for governments, but for businesses, societies and for ordinary people.

Since 2012, history and memory have been pushed into the heart of Russian political and popular culture. This book charts the policies, practices, and performances that led to this point by analyzing cultural and political discourse. Through in-depth case studies and interviews with cultural producers, McGlynn demonstrates the vast scale of government initiatives to popularize patriotic history and realize its vision of the ‘culturally conscious’ Russian patriot. Finally, she interprets this political preoccupation with history as symptomatic of populist responses to a perceived loss of cultural identity-drawing developments, often seen as pathologically Russian, into comparison with global trends.

State-building and Clanship in Chechnya and Ingushetia
This book focuses on a systematic analysis of subnational state-building in post-Soviet Chechnya and Ingushetia and the role of teips (clans) in this process, this study responds to the widely accepted academic claim that governance and ethnic consolidation in the North Caucasus are shaped by the politics of teips and the belief that late and uneven modernization, and the survival of tribal structures have been accountable for systematic failures in state-building in the region. The research is based on over 200 interviews and features never-beforeseen access to the archives of the Chechen Parliament during the period of de facto independence.

The Sheathed Sword
From Nuclear Brink to No First Use Edited by Prakash Menon, Takshashila Instituition, India & Aditya Ramanathan, Takshashila Institution, India After a brief post-Cold War interlude, nuclear weapons have returned to their prominent place in world affairs. New technologies, changing political contexts, and the death of old arms control agreements mean that today’s nuclear strategists have to navigate unchartered waters filled with fresh perils. This volume includes perspectives from leading scholars from across the globe who deliberate how major powers use nuclear threats as tools of statecraft; how individual states (both nuclear powers and some key non-nuclear powers) think about nuclear weapons and whether they consider no-first-use (NFU) policies feasible, and whether a GNFU agreement is desirable.

Securing the State and its Citizens
National Security Councils from Around the World Edited by Paul O'Neill, RUSI, UK Through a uniquely extensive study of countries from across the world, this book considers how nations have developed bespoke coordination mechanisms to the unique threats they face, and how these mechanisms have had to evolve as threats change.
