Book Description
Military affairs have been affected by major changes in recent years. The bipolar world of two superpowers has gone. The Cold War and the global military confrontation that accompanied it have ended. A new military and political order has emerged in the world, but the world has not become more stable; indeed, wars and armed conflict have become much more common. Forecasting the contours of future armed conflict is no easy task at such times, but this is the primary objective of If War Comes Tomorrow? Focusing on the impact of new technologies, General Gareev considers whether war is still a continuation of politics by other means' or whether the political, ideological, and technical transformation have broken that connection. He explores the linkage between threats to Russian national interests and war as an instrument of policy in great detail and concludes that there is very little prospect either of nuclear war or widespread conventional war. However, he does see local armed conflicts and local wars increasing, with greater emphasis on subversion. He argues that coming decades will see a shift towards a reliance upon indirect means to accomplish limited political ends, and analyses both information warfare and the revolution in military affairs from this perspective.

Book Description
The Russian Federation inherited from the Soviet Union an extraordinarily comprehensive system of advance preparation of the economy and structures of power for the possibility of armed aggression from an external power or powers. The upgraded, more compact, mobilisation system, together with the new powers of the General Staff, exercised through the NTSUO RF and its expanding territorial network, mean that Russia is now more ready for war, if it should come, than at any time since the depths of the Cold War. The resource costs of the system are probably substantial, but clearly considered by the country’s leadership to be a burden worth bearing in the interests of national security. Shrouded in almost total secrecy, the system is developed and maintained without any question of democratic accountability, usually by presidential edicts and government decrees, generally subject to classification. Having lived through more than two decades with relatively ill-equipped armed forces, now being modernised under an ambitious state armament programme, it is perhaps not surprising that Russia’s leadership should be prioritising an ability to respond rapidly and effectively to any possible armed attack, hoping to deter military action by the certainty of a rapid, concerted response by not only the country’s armed forces, but also by institutions of government, economic agents and society as a whole, at both the federal and territorial levels. The state of mobilisation readiness must now be considered seriously when making any assessment of present-day Russia’s military capability.

Book Description
At no time since the end of the Cold War has interest been higher in Russian security issues and the role played in this by the modernization of Russia’s Armed Forces. The continued transformation of its Armed Forces from Cold War legacy towards a modern combat capable force presents many challenges for the Kremlin. Moscow’s security concerns domestically, in the turbulent North Caucasus, and internationally linked to the Arab Spring, as well as its complex relations with the US and NATO and its role in the aftermath of the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine in 2014 further raises the need to present an informed analytical survey of the country’s military, past, present and future. This collection addresses precisely the nature of the challenges facing Russian policymakers as they struggle to rebuild combat capable military to protect Russian interests in the twenty-first century. This book was based on a special issue of the Journal of Slavic Military Studies.
