  • "Fully updated and revised, this text explores past thirty years of Soviet/Russian international relations, comparing foreign policy formation under Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Putin, and Medvedev. Andrei Tsygankov shows definitions of national interest depend on visions of national identity and is rooted in history and domestic politics. He also highlights role of external environment in affecting balance of power among competing domestic groups. Drawing on Russian and Western sources, Tsygankov shows Moscow's policies have shifted under different leaders' visions of Russia's national interests. He gives overview of ideas and pressures that motivated Russian foreign policy in five different periods: Gorbachev era of late 1980s, liberal "Westernizers" era under Kozyrev in early 1990s, statist policy under Primakov, pragmatic statist course under Putin, and assertive policy of late Putin and early Medvedev era. Evaluating successes and failures of Russia's foreign policies, Tsygankov explains its turns as Russia's identity and interaction with West have evolved. He concludes with reflections on emergence of post-Western world and challenges it presents to Russia's enduring quest for great-power status along with its desire for a special relationship with Western nations."
