Putin's Russia and Southeast Asia
The Kremlin's Pivot to Asia and the Impact of the Russia-Ukraine War
Book •
Ian Storey's book examines Russia's strategic engagement with Southeast Asia over the past 25 years, assessing its successes, limitations, and relationships with regional states.
It analyzes historical ties, economic and defence diplomacy, and how Southeast Asian countries reacted to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The book argues that while Russia is taken seriously for its global attributes, it underperforms regionally compared with other major powers.
Storey assesses country-by-country responses and the factors shaping them, including history, principles, and interests.
He concludes that Russia remains a player with durable partnerships but faces significant long-term constraints exacerbated by the Ukraine war.
