Description: Russia's Foreign Policy by Andrei P. Tsygankov This book focuses on Russias distinct concepts of the national interest and attempts to cooperate and compete with the West. It explains foreign policy by changes in Russias identity and interaction with the Western powers. It also evaluates Russias international accomplishments and losses, and it draws lessons for policy makers. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Now fully updated and revised, this clear and comprehensive text explores the past thirty years of Soviet/Russian international relations, comparing foreign policy formation under Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Medvedev, and Putin. Challenging conventional views of Moscows foreign policy, Andrei Tsygankov shows that definitions of national interest depend on visions of national identity and is rooted both in history and domestic politics. Yet the author also highlights the role of the external environment in affecting the balance of power among competing domestic groups. Drawing on both Russian and Western sources, Tsygankov shows how Moscows policies have shifted under different leaders visions of Russias national interests. He gives an overview of the ideas and pressures that motivated Russian foreign policy in six different periods: the Gorbachev era of the late 1980s, the liberal "Westernizers" era under Kozyrev in the early 1990s, the relatively hardline statist policy under Primakov, the more pragmatic course of limited cooperation under Putin and then Medvedev, and the assertive policy Putin has implemented since his return to power. Evaluating the successes and failures of Russias foreign policies, Tsygankov explains its many turns as Russias identity and interaction with the West have evolved. The book concludes with reflections on the emergence of the post-Western world and the challenges it presents to Russias enduring quest for great-power status. Author Biography Andrei P. Tsygankov is professor in the Departments of Political Science and International Relations at San Francisco State University.

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.--Natasha Kuhrt, Kings College, LondonThis newest edition of Russias 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.--Roger E.
