| Summary/Abstract |
The Russian intervention in Ukraine can be seen not as an isolated incident, but as part of a larger strategy aimed at re-establishing Russian control and influence over its near abroad – a sphere of influence severely diminished with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Building on its success in Georgia, the Russian Federation moved aggressively in 2014 to seize Crimea and destabilise eastern Ukraine. In each case, Russia leveraged ethnic Russian populations to encourage separatist movements, introducing Russian paramilitaries, intelligence operatives, special forces and eventually conventional forces. In this hypothetical scenario, written as a ‘historical perspective’, Richard D Hooker, Jr examines a possible next move against the Baltic States, where similar conditions apply. Should Russia move against the Baltics, NATO will face its most challenging test in a generation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Try as we might, war and armed conflict remain at the center of
international relations and state policy. Success in war requires
many things, but surely effective strategy must top the list. Why is
making good strategy so hard? It is perhaps the most difficult task facing
senior leaders in any government. Despite a wealth of sources and millennia of useful historical examples, sound strategic thinking more often
than not eludes western democracies. Why?
