The Foreign Policy of Russia

Résumé du livre

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.
