Natolin Senior Research Fellow Dr Nurlan ALIYEV presents his book: "Reassessing Russia's Security Policy" at Uppsala University

Dr Nurlan ALIYEV, Natolin Senior Research Fellow of the European Neighbourhood Chair presented his book titled: "Reassessing Russia's Security Policy" at Uppsala University.

The book evaluates how far Russia’s security policy is underpinned by “strategic asymmetry”—the acceptance by Russia of its inferior military position, and the pursuit of its strategic aims through the application of a variety of methods, military and non-military, including the manipulation of public opinion, the use of economic leverage, and external security approaches—known as Russia’s “hybrid war operations”—to gain the advantage over a militarily and economically superior adversary.
