These policies include exerting dominance over independent states that were once part of the Soviet Union and preventing further NATO expansion into Russia's borders. Additionally, Putin has pursued a pragmatic partnership with China to bolster the Russian economy in the face of Western sanctions and declining revenues from oil and gas. This book argues that Putin's efforts have achieved significant results, although not without challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the future, the weakness of the Russian economy compared to China's may pose a threat to Moscow's ability to maintain a Russian sphere of influence in its own neighborhood. This could lead to increased competition and tensions between the two countries, potentially undermining Russia's position as a global power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo address these challenges, Russia needs to focus on economic diversification and innovation. This could include investing in renewable energy sources, developing new industries, and promoting technological advancements. Additionally, Russia should strengthen its ties with other countries, particularly those in the Eurasian region, to create a strong network of allies and counterbalance China's influence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, while Putin's policies have had a positive impact on Russia's position in the world, there is still work to be done to ensure its long-term stability and prosperity. By implementing a strategic approach that emphasizes economic development, diversification, and strong relationships, Russia can continue to play a significant role in global affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 252g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 230 x 13 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781498588737                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dina R.
