Abstract

2016 has definitely been a notable year for Russian foreign policy and one in which many of its gambles appear to have paid off. The Putin regime continued to make bold use of force, both conventional as in the case of Syria and Ukraine and non-conventional or non-linear measures as in the case of the cyber-attacks on the US. As well as making active foreign policy choices, it was also a year in which Russia seemed to profit from many other international trends. In particular, the apparent rise of populism in the West, symbolized by Donald Trump’s election to the US presidency in November. Whilst we will have to wait until 2017 to see how these events are translated into policy-making in practice, the Putin regime does seem to be ending this year on a high.
