A welcomed updating of this classic text. Sophisticated and accessible, Russia's Foreign Policy, 6e is an essential reading for all those seeking to understand the dynamics, evolution, and complexities of Russian foreign policy.

This newest edition of Russia's Foreign Policy: Change and Continuity in National Identity, as earlier ones, provides a superb treatment of Russian foreign policy by one of the leading analysts in the field. Tsygankov is especially strong in his focus on the factors that influence the decision making, not just on the policy and its successes and failures.

In this sixth edition Andrei Tsygankov demonstrates once again his wide ranging and in depth knowledge of Russian foreign policy and domestic politics. Importantly, he never loses sight of the longue duree of Russian politics and history, situating more contemporary events in the appropriate cultural and historical context. This book is invaluable in showing how Russian foreign policy is situated in civilizational discourses which are increasingly relevant across the globe.
