Internal Factors in Russian Foreign Policy / Edition 1

by Neil Malcolm, Alex Pravda, Roy Allison, Margot Light

Overview

Russia has emerged as a new and assertively independent force in world politics, in Europe and Asia, and especially in the other former Soviet states. What are Moscow's foreign policy goals, and who sets them? This book provides the first systematic analysis of the domestic political, military and economic influences that shape Russia's international behavior. Five leading specialists examine the areas of foreign policy thinking and debate, how policy is made, the public politics of foreign policy, and the role of the military.

Editorial Reviews

"Important and timely....[T]his erudite and nuanced study [is] essential for all universities with graduate programs in international relation and policy formation....Recommended without reservation."—Choice

"This is much nore than a collection of essays. It is a genuinely synthetic work, with a carefully conceived division of labor and linked chapters...The research is thorough, the authors experienced and talented, and the result a balanced comprehensive exploration of the tension among contending schools of thought, institutions, and players."—Foreign Affairs

"This collaborative effort provides a much-needed survey of the changing constellations of interests, institutions, and individuals involved in the making of Russian foreign policy between 1991 and 1995. This book represents one of the most comprehensive accounts now available of Russian foreign policy in the early 1990s."—Slavic Review
