The New World Order According to Putin (Annotated) Enriched Edition. President Putin's Essays, Statements, Executive Orders and Speeches On War

The New World Order According to Putin sets out a combative vision of international relations in which sovereignty, strategic parity, and civilizational identity are placed against the liberal universalism of the post-Cold War West. Its style is declarative and polemical, closer to geopolitical manifesto than detached treatise, drawing on historical grievance, security doctrine, and realist assumptions about power. Read in the context of twenty-first-century conflicts over NATO expansion, multipolarity, and global governance, the book illuminates a worldview that has shaped contemporary diplomatic tensions. Vladimir Putin, Russia's long-serving president and former intelligence officer, writes from the perspective of a leader formed by the late Soviet state, its collapse, and Russia's subsequent struggle to recover status and influence. His political career has been defined by efforts to recentralize authority, restore military capacity, and challenge Western dominance, experiences that inform the book's emphasis on order, hierarchy, and national interest. This volume is recommended for readers seeking to understand the ideological architecture behind modern Russian statecraft. Whether approached critically or analytically, it offers valuable insight into the arguments, assumptions, and historical narratives that continue to influence global politics.
