The Foreign Policy of Russia : Continuities and Sources of Change (6 New edition)

This text on contemporary Russian foreign policy identifies continuities in Russia's international behaviour, despite regime changes, and the basic factors structuring these long-established patterns.

It also analyzes some of the external and internal forces that influence changes of policy direction, not all of which are predictable.

The result is a balanced treatment that should provide readers with the context and the analytical tools needed to understand Russia's past, present and future role in the world.
