Russia continues to maintain a low profile in Northeast Asia (NEA), despite new efforts made by the Russian government to move the centre of gravity of the country's economy eastward, towards its vast, uninhabited territory with huge potential resources. Additionally, Russia's proximity to the Arctic and its dependence on energy for economic growth and development have led Moscow to make aggressive claims on behalf of Arctic interests. This book examines Russia's prospects in Asia and the Arctic, with a focus also on Central Asian security trends.
