Praise for this book
Russia's Foreign Policy combines truly original scholarly analysis, strongly documented and updated coverage of events, and clear and effective writing. The result is arguably the best introductory treatment of Russian foreign policy available in English.
In this updated version of his textbook, Andrei Tsygankov, one of the foremost scholars of Russian politics, provides keen insights into the formation and fluctuation of Russia's national interests and how they find expression in foreign policy. Tsygankov argues that Russia's foreign policy identity has been shaped primarily by its relations with the West. Three major schools of thought--the Western, statist, and civilizationist--contend for dominance, with each rising or declining as circumstances change. Russia, over the past two decades, has developed and pursued seven 'visions' of national interests, from Mikhail Gorbachev's New Thinking and common European home to Vladimir Putin's assertive state-civilization outlook and turn to the East. Thorough, readable, and informed by a keen understanding of Russian domestic politics, the fifth edition of Russia's Foreign Policy will prove valuable to students and specialists alike.
This is the most well-balanced and comprehensive analysis of Soviet and Russian foreign policy today. It is unique in its excellent and extensive use of both Russian-language and non-Russian sources. Andrei Tsygankov shows us how Russian national identity under Putin has been increasingly defined by opposition to the West.
