The Foreign Policy of Russia: Changing Systems, Enduring Interests - Softcover
This text on contemporary Russian foreign policy identifies continuities in Russia's international behaviour, despite regime changes, and the basic factors structuring these long-established patterns. It also analyzes some of the external and internal forces that influence changes of policy direction, not all of which are predictable. The result is a balanced treatment that should provide readers with the context and the analytical tools needed to understand Russia's past, present and future role in the world.

Review:
"The authors have written a comprehensive and authoritative account of Russia's foreign relations and foreign policy mechanism.... The book is well grounded in the general international relations literature and all terms are clearly and convincingly explained.... The book is authoritatively researched... and offers a full and balanced treatment of all main problems in Russian foreign relations, bilateral, regional, and functional. In this way, the book is an ideal basic text for any undergraduate course on Russian foreign policy, providing as it does the essential context for issues that might be given more in-depth treatment through more specialized works. In addition, the book should serve well in courses on comparative foreign policy and international relations after the cold war."
