About this book
Reviews
The first two parts of the book look at the ideas and perceptions and internal politics behind Russia’s foreign policy, while the third and final part examines particular areas of foreign policy. … the book deserves to be read not only by students of Russia but also by anyone interested in European and Asian security.” (Peter J. S. Duncan, SEER - Slavonic and East European Review, Vol. 94 (4), October, 2016)
“The book is illuminating on the role of nationalism and conservatism as ideas influencing the interwoven domestic and foreign policy domains. … The book’s main argument, that Russia’s foreign policy is the continuation of domestic politics by other means, is presented persuasively and with a wealth of evidence in its support. … It is a strong voice in a general discussion on the relationship between foreign and domestic policy. … The outcome is definitely rewarding.” (Katarzyna Kaczmarska, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 68 (9), 2016)
“The book is definitely worth a careful read because the identified worrisome trends toward scoring points by pro-active and bold foreign policy moves for strengthening the grasp on power by the regime that cannot any more rely on distributing petro-revenues have since accelerated – and are approaching a breaking point.” (Pavel K Baev, Journal of Peace Research, November 26, 2015)
“David Cadier and Margot Light’s edited volume insightfully charts the influence of domestic and external factors on Russia’s foreign policy and its actions in Ukraine. … Russia’s foreign policy is invaluable reading for all those interested in Russian foreign policy and its recent evolution.” (Cristian Nitoiu, International Affairs, Vol. 91 (5), 2015)
'This edited volume is the right book at the right time and by the right people. Linking the internal and external aspects of Russian foreign policy, the book gives a comprehensive and lucid account of the actors and factors behind Russia's emergence as a more assertive actor in Europe.' Hiski Haukkala, University of Tempere, Finland
'A compact and thoughtful compendium that integrates the Russian mindset with the role of domestic politics, and then examines key Russian relationships with the United States, Europe and Eurasia, and the Asia-Pacific. These days understanding who, what, and why Russia is as it is is not easy. This book makes it easier.' Robert Legvold, Columbia University
