9780765608581: The Foreign Policy of Russia: Changing Systems, Enduring Interests

Synopsis

In this masterful study, Donaldson and Nogee examine the historical lineage of Russian foreign policy and its development in the context of domestic power struggles and a changing international environment. Their approach brings to light both continuities in Russia's behavior in the world, reflecting enduring national interests, and the major sources of change and variability. In this new edition, fully updated to cover Russian foreign policy from the tsarist period through the Putin succession, and with new chapters on the factors that have shaped Russian foreign policy over the past century, the Yeltsin legacy, and the Putin presidency, this is the book of choice for courses in Russian foreign policy and international politics.

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."
