Trade ReviewThis text fills an important dimension of our effort to frame a sophisticated understanding of Russian foreign policy and constructively challenges some of the mainstream Western views of Russia’s policy perceptions, mechanics and objectives. A valuable volume for those who prioritize balance and dialogue in their teaching. * Richard Farkas, DePaul University, USA *
This book excellently charts the evolution of Russian foreign policy. It both answers a number of important questions, and offers scenarios that remain pertinent for anyone interested in contemporary geopolitics. * Mervyn Bain, University of Aberdeen, UK *
