An assessment of Russia that suggests that we should look beyond traditional means of power to understand its strength and capacity to disrupt international politics.Too often, we are told that Russia plays a weak hand well. But, perhaps the nations cards are better than we know. Russia ranks significantly behind the US and China by traditional measures of power: GDP, population size and health, and military might.

Stoner assesses the resurrection of Russia and argues that we should look beyondtraditional means of power to assess its strength in global affairs.
