Overview
Foreign policy covers the defense of a nation’s foreign security, economic, and social lifestyle. A more secure nation is one that faces fewer external military threats and so can afford to lower military spending. As a result, a good foreign policy ensures that the state can protect the interests of the people as a whole while being immune to both internal and external power forces. With that in mind, how effective has Russian foreign policy been under the leadership of Vladimir Putin? (January 2000-present).
