Russias Foreign Policy: Change and Continuity in National Identity: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Russias Foreign Policy: Change and Continuity in National Identity" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

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 along with its desire for a special relationship with Western nations.
