Käsillä on viimeiset hetket huolehtia Euroopan puolustuksesta. Huippuasiantuntija avaa Venäjän uhkaa ja uuden johtajuuden tarvetta Euroopassa. Kolme vuosikymmentä kestäneen asevoimien vähentämisen ja puolustusteollisuuden supistamisen jälkeen Eurooppa on varsin suojaton – samalla kun Venäjä käy laajentumissotaa ja Yhdysvallat on ristiriitainen ja jakautunut. Tässä ajankohtaisessa ja tärkeässä kirjassa huippuasiantuntija Keir Giles selittää, kuinka lännen haluttomuus kohdata Venäjää on ruokkinut uhkaa ja kuinka Putinin kunnianhimo vaarantaa koko Euroopan. Hän arvioi Naton roolia ja puutteita turvallisuuden takaajana ja sitä, pystyvätkö EU tai halukkaiden liittoumat täyttämään aukon. Ennen kaikkea Giles korostaa uuden johtajuuden tarvetta vapaan maailman puolustamisessa sen jälkeen, kun Yhdysvallat on siirtynyt tästä roolista syrjään. Teoksessa on Hannu Himasen esipuhe, ja lisäksi Keir Giles on kirjoittanut suomalaiseen versioon Yhdysvaltojen presidentinvaalien lopputuloksen vaikutuksesta Euroopan puolustukseen." Venäjän aikomuksia ei voida enää kiistää – mutta kuten Keir Giles kylmäävillä yksityiskohdilla selittää, Euroopan puolustus on jäljessä. Tämä kirja on elintärkeä kehotus toimia ennen kuin se on liian myöhäistä." – Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Viron entinen presidenttiKeir Giles on Ison-Britannian johtava Venäjä-asiantuntija ja Britannian ulkopoliittisen instituutin Chatham Housen tutkija. Hän on perehtynyt laajasti Venäjän sotilaspolitiikan sekä asevoimien kysymyksiin ja toiminut usean maan hallituksen neuvonantajana Venäjä-kysymyksissä.

American Overthrow

American Overthrow

A disturbing account of Moscow’s ideological capture of the American ruling elite, the consequences of which are only now coming to light. The maelstrom that followed Donald Trump’s return as US president in 2025 left many bemused and disoriented. But for Russia-watchers, what unfolded was grimly familiar. So much of what Trump and his inner circle have done is precisely what the Kremlin would have wanted them to do; and in too many respects, Trump’s America has started to mimic Russia itself. For all the chaos of Trump’s first months back in the White House, one defining feature was common to all his destructive actions: the removal of the obstacles previously set up to prevent Russia from achieving its ambitions, whether they threatened Europe or America itself. The Trump administration’s determination to coerce Ukraine into surrendering to Russia is just the clearest example of how America is embracing Moscow’s objectives. And domestically, the war on facts and truth; the deployment of masked federal paramilitaries to the streets of major cities; the threats against neighbouring countries; the consolidation of power; and the favouring of a narrow circle of oligarchs all mirror Vladimir Putin’s Russia of twenty years before. Keir Giles examines the transformation of America through the prism of Kremlinology. What he reveals is disturbing not just for Americans, but for us all.

Russia is intent on attacking beyond Ukraine. Can Europe defend itself? While Ukraine holds back Russia’s onslaught, Moscow has been working hard at rebuilding its army for the next invasion. But for the past 30 years, Britain and Europe have been running down their armed forces and defence industries, thinking that war would never come. Most of the continent banked an increasingly illusory ‘peace dividend’ while outsourcing defence to the United States. Now, change in the US and clear intent from the Kremlin have set Europe scrambling to rebuild its defences. But will it be enough, and can it be in time? In this urgent, vital book, Keir Giles lays out the stark choices facing leaders and societies as they confront the return of war in Europe. If the freedom and prosperity that the continent takes for granted are to be preserved, the sacrifices required will affect everyone, without exception. Above all, Giles calls for new leadership in defence of Europe as the US steps aside—and warns that the UK’s brief opportunity to set the pace has already been squandered.

Halvin toimitettuna 19,50 €

You may not be interested in Russia. But Russia is interested in you. Russia’s 2022 attack on Ukraine saw confrontation between Moscow and the West spill over into open conflict once again. But Russia has also been waging a clandestine war against the West for decades. Hostile acts abroad, from poisoning dissidents to shooting down airliners, interfering in elections, spying, hacking and murdering, have long seemed to be the Kremlin’s daily business. But what is it all for? Why does Russia consistently behave like this? And what does it achieve? Now containing a new preface to the paperback edition, Keir Giles explains how and why Russia pushes for more power and influence wherever it can reach, far beyond Ukraine – and what it means not just for governments, but for ordinary people. Bringing together stories from the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power, organised crime and more, Giles describes how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and how nobody is too unimportant to be caught up in them. By lifting the lid on the daily struggle going on behind the scenes to protect governments, businesses, societies and people from Russian hostile activity, Russia’s War On Everybody shows how Moscow’s hostile intentions for the rest of the world are far broader and more ambitious, and the ways it tries to achieve them far more pervasive and damaging, than we realise.

Giles varoittaa Venäjän salaisesta sodasta, jonka kohteeksi voi joutua kuka tahansa. Venäjä käy sotaa Ukrainaa ja länttä vastaan. Riippumatta Ukrainassa käytävän sodan lopputuloksesta Venäjän salainen sota jokaista vastaan jatkuu. Venäjä on kaikkien ongelma, eikä se ole häviämässä mihinkään. Venäjä on käynyt salaista sotaa länttä vastaan peitellysti jo vuosikymmeniä. Vihamieliset teot ulkomailla – toisinajattelijoiden myrkytykset, vaaleihin puuttumiset, vakoilu, hakkerointi ja murhat – ovat pitkään olleet Venäjän normaalia toimintaa. Miksi Venäjä käyttäytyy jatkuvasti näin? Ja mitä se sillä saavuttaa? Kirjassa kerrotaan, miksi ja miten Venäjän pyrkii lisäämään valtaansa kaikkialla. Keir Giles osoittaa, miten Venäjä toteuttaa käytännössä vihamielisiä toimenpiteitään eri puolilla maailmaa, ja kuinka kukaan ei ole liian merkityksetön joutuakseen sen kohteeksi. Giles on kirjoittanut erillisen esipuheen suomalaisille lukijoille.” Keir Gilesin edellinen teos Moskovan opit avasi selkokielellä Kremlin 'irrationaalista' logiikkaa.

Moscow Rules

Moscow Rules

Brookings Institution

Halvin toimitettuna 48,60 €

From Moscow, the world looks different. It is through understanding how Russia sees the world?and its place in it?that the West can best meet the Russian challenge. Russia and the West are like neighbors who never seem able to understand each other. A major reason, this book argues, is that Western leaders tend to think that Russia should act as a ?rational? Western nation?even though Russian leaders for centuries have thought and acted based on their country's much different history and traditions. Russia, through Western eyes, is unpredictable and irrational, when in fact its leaders from the czars to Putin almost always act in their own very predictable and rational ways. For Western leaders to try to engage with Russia without attempting to understand how Russians look at the world is a recipe for repeated disappointment and frequent crises. Keir Giles, a senior expert on Russia at Britain's prestigious Chatham House, describes how Russian leaders have used consistent doctrinal and strategic approaches to the rest of the world. These approaches may seem deeply alien in the West, but understanding them is essential for successful engagement with Moscow. Giles argues that understanding how Moscow's leaders think?not just Vladimir Putin but his predecessors and eventual successors?will help their counterparts in the West develop a less crisis-prone and more productive relationship with Russia.

Russia s military interventions in Ukraine from 2014, and Syria from 2015, caused widespread surprise among Western policy communities, including in the United States. However, as the British scholar of Russia, Keir Giles, explains in this Letort Paper, these interventions represented the culmination of two well-established trends that had been clearly identified by Russia-watchers over preceding years. These were first, a mounting perception of direct threat against Russia from the West, and second, Russia s own greatly increased capability for military or other action to respond to this perceived threat. Mr. Giles highlights the specific security preoccupations of Russian leaders over decades, not always perceptible outside Russia, which lead them to entirely different interpretations of current events from those taken for granted in the West.

At the time of this writing, the events during the 2016 presidential election campaign have focused intense attention on the dangers of hostile cyber and information operations by foreign powers. The legality under international law of this kind of interference in another state s information space has been the subject of long discussion, both bilaterally between the United States and other major cyber powers, and internationally at the United Nations (UN) and elsewhere. In this Letort Paper, completed in late 2015, British researcher Keir Giles provides a guide to the various and conflicting trends in this debate. As a long-term scholar of the Russian approach to cyber policy and legality in cyberspace, Giles places the discussion, and U. S. concerns, in an international context. In particular, he explains the deep ideological divides on the correct course of action to take between the United States and its allies on the one hand, and a large group of nations led by Russia and China on the other.

Cyber Defense: an International View

Because of the seamlessly international nature of the Internet, effective cyber security demands close cooperation with allies and friends overseas. Yet, because of the relatively young status of the discipline, national approaches to organizing and providing for cyber defense vary widely even among those countries whose interests are most closely aligned with those of the United States. The result is that the bodies and structures responsible for cyber defense, and their affiliations and mandates, can be difficult to understand. In this Letort Paper, British cyber policy researcher Keir Giles and German computer security specialist Kim Hartmann provide an overview of four different national approaches to cyber defense: those of Norway, Estonia, Germany, and Sweden. While providing a useful guide for engagement with the relevant governmental and other organizations in each of these countries, the Paper also compares and contrasts the advantages and drawbacks of each national approach.

The focus on Russian intervention in Ukraine in 2014-15 has obscured other areas of contention which previously were prominent and problematic in relations between the United States and Russia. One such area is the strenuous Russian objection to U. S. plans for ballistic missile defense, most recently in the form of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). At some point in the near future, the issue of missile defense will once more be on the table with Russia; whether as a result of a relaxation of tensions allowing renewed bilateral discussion of security issues, or indeed because of an immediate threat of Russian escalatory action in response to the United States rolling out missile defense capabilities. In either case, U. S. policymakers and negotiators need to be prepared and fully acquainted with the wide range of issues at stake. In this respect, both the current monograph and its predecessor, European Missile Defense and Russia, provide an essential grounding...

In a time of rapid change for the U. S. Army, it is essential to retain awareness of how potential adversaries are also developing their concepts of Landpower. This Letort Paper, written by an influential Russian general, lays out an authoritative view on the importance of substantial conventional land forces, as seen from Moscow. The year 2014 was an eventful one for the Russian military, opening with the seizure of Crimea, continuing through ongoing operations in and near Ukraine, and culminating with the issue of a new Military Doctrine reflecting what Russia describes as new security realities in Europe. All of these circumstances have drawn attention back to the challenge to U. S. interests posed by the Russian military. The issue of this Paper is therefore especially timely. The author, Major General Aleksandr Rogovoy, is a professor at the Russian General Staff Academy with a substantial record of academic and operational experience, and a direct contributor to the drafting of Russia's 2014 Military...

In November 2014, tense negotiations over the status of Iran's nuclear program resulted in a 7-month extension of a compliance deadline. In June 2015, negotiators will once again be grappling with the same intractable issues, where neither Iran nor the United States and its allies appear able to make the substantive concessions that would be necessary for a permanent agreement. This monograph, completed ahead of the November 2014 deadline, examines some of the underlying factors which will be constant in dealing with Iran under President Hassan Rouhani, and which will help determine the success or failure of talks in 2015. It surveys Rouhani's eventful first year in office in order to provide pointers to what may be possible-and to some key limiting factors-for Iran under his leadership. During that time, Rouhani was forced to balance his own progressive instincts with the instinctual caution of more conservative elements of the Iranian ruling elite.

The recent history of the conversation with Russia over plans for European missile defense has been one of repeated and unsuccessful attempts to allay strongly worded Russian concerns. None of these attempts has mitigated Russia's trenchant opposition to U. S. plans. At times, this opposition can appear based on grounds which are spurious or incomprehensible. In this monograph, Mr. Keir Giles, a British academic and long-term scholar of Russia, examines the history of missile defense, and the current dialogue, from a Russian perspective in order to explain the root causes of Russian alarm. He presents specific recommendations for managing the Russia relationship in the context of missile defense. Important conclusions are also drawn for the purpose of managing the dialogue over missile defense plans not only with Russia as an opponent, but also with European North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies as partners and hosts.

While conflict in cyberspace is not a new phenomenon, the legality of hostile cyber activity at a state level remains imperfectly defined. While there is broad agreement among the United States and its allies that cyber warfare would be governed by existing law of armed conflict, with no need for additional treaties or conventions to regulate hostilities online, this view is not shared by many nations that the United States could potentially face as adversaries. A range of foreign states use definitions for cyber conflict that are entirely different from our own, extending to different concepts of what constitutes online hostilities and even a state of war. This leads to a potentially dangerous situation where an adversary could be operating according to an entirely different understanding of international law to that followed by the United States. In this Letort Paper, Mr. Keir Giles uses Russian-language sources and interviews to illustrate the very distinct set of views on the nature of conflict...

The questionable performance of the Russian armed forces in the conflict in Georgia in 2008 provided the impetus for a program of far-reaching reform in the Russian military. The progress of this reform has been the subject of intensive study, including in a number of monographs issued by the Strategic Studies Institute. But as Mr. Keir Giles and Dr. Andrew Monaghan describe in this Paper, the most recent phase of military transformation in Russia allows conclusions to be drawn about the final shape of the Russian military once the process is complete-and about the range of threats, some of them unrecognizable to us, that is guiding that process. In this monograph, the authors use a wide range of Russian language sources and interviews to illustrate not only the Russian threat assessments highlighting the United States as a potential aggressor, but also the many unique challenges facing Russia in renewing and rearming its military.

An apparent lack of interest by Russia in Sub-Saharan Africa over recent years masks persistent key strategic drivers for Moscow to re-establish lost influence in the region. A preoccupation with more immediate foreign policy concerns has temporarily interrupted a process of Russia reclaiming relationships that were well-developed in the Soviet period in order to secure access to mineral and energy resources which are crucial to Russia's economic and industrial interests, as well as both existing and new markets for military arms contracts. Russian policy priorities in Africa provide both challenges and opportunities for the U. S. nuclear nonproliferation, as well as energy security for the United States and its European allies. Russian development of key resources in southern Africa should be observed closely. Russian trade with the region is significantly underdeveloped, with the exception of the arms trade, which Russia can be expected to defend vigorously if its markets are challenged, including...

Trumpin paluu Yhdysvaltain presidentiksi jätti monet hämmentyneiksi ja suunniltaan. Suuri osa siitä, mitä Trump ja hänen sisäpiirinsä ovat tehneet, on juuri sellaista, mitä Kreml olisi halunnut heidän tekevän. Trumpin Amerikka on alkanut muistuttaa Venäjää aivan liian monessa suhteessa. Trumpin toimia toisen kauden aikana on yhdistänyt tuhoisa piirre: hän on purkanut määrätietoisesti esteitä, jotka oli rakennettu aiemmin estämään Venäjää saavuttamasta tavoitteitaan — uhkasivatpa ne Eurooppaa tai Yhdysvaltoja itseään. Trumpin hallinnon päättäväisyys pakottaa Ukraina antautumaan Venäjälle on selkein esimerkki siitä, kuinka Yhdysvallat omaksuu Moskovan tavoitteita. Sota tosiasioita ja totuutta vastaan, naamioitujen liittovaltion puolisotilaallisten joukkojen lähettäminen suurkaupunkien kaduille, uhkaukset naapurimaita kohtaan, vallan keskittäminen sekä kapean oligarkkipiirin suosiminen ovat kuin suoraan Vladimir Putinin kahdenkymmenen vuoden takaisesta Venäjästä. Keir Giles tarkastelee Yhdysvaltain muutosta kremlologian näkökulmasta. Hänen paljastamansa totuus on huolestuttavaa paitsi amerikkalaisille myös meille kaikille.
