The International Politics of Eurasia: v. 4: The Making of Foreign Policy in Russia and the New States of Eurasia / Edition 1

by S. Frederick Starr, Karen Dawisha

Overview

This ambitious ten-volume series develops a comprehensive analysis of the evolving world role of the post-Soviet successor states. Each volume considers a different factor influencing the relationship between internal politics and international relations in Russia and in the western and southern tiers of newly independent states. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the discrediting of Marxism-Leninism as a source of political legitimacy have prompted a search for fresh principles of political organization that will shape the nature of political culture in all the post-Soviet countries. This volume looks at the making of foreign policy in Russia and the new states of Eurasia.
