Annotation

The study examines traditional issues of European security (arms control) as well as new threats that become increasingly important in an international security environment of the 21st century. It focuses on the challenges emerging in the new context that Russia and its European partners face, the actions aiming to cope these challenges they undertake. The authors scrutinize the role of Russia in dealing with new security issues, its ability to cope its internal problems and influence the international agenda. The mechanisms of implementation of Russia's European vector in foreign and security policy are also considered. This (second) conclusive part of the work is devoted to new realities in a sphere of European security analysis.
