description: Cooper (Russian and Euro-Asian studies, U. of Melbourne) examines the forces influencing Russia's foreign policy, applying Russian rather than western criteria. He emphasizes that the country is in a transition period during which old rules are being discarded but a new system is only in the making. He especially notes the current manifestation of the old conflict between Westernizers and Slavophiles. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
