碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 國際政治研究所 === 106 === Since the Soviet Union has collapsed, Russia internally underwent reorganizations and focused on rectifying domestic affairs. However, why did Vladimir Putin increase the military budget, reform his military and expand the strategic map during his era? Was it caused by the expansion of Western countries in political geography? Or was Russia trying to find a strategic breakthrough? In this thesis, I suggest using systems theory from politics to analyze the changing of military expenditure and transformation of Russia. Also, combine with its foreign military operations to explore the characteristics of entire military reform. This paper finds that Russia adopts some previous policies, while others are proposed in Putin era during the process of military reform. The objective is to modernize the entire Russian military capability and achieve the balance of military power.
