Title: Russian Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century and the Shadow of the Past (Studies of the Harriman Institute, Columbia University)
Description: "In this book, a mix of leading historians and political scientists examines the foreign policy of contemporary Russia over four centuries of history. The authors explore the impact of empire and its loss, the interweaving of domestic and foreign impulses, long-standing approaches to national security, and the effect of globalization over time." "This volume utilizes history to shed light on Russia's complex, occasionally inscrutable relationship with the world. In so doing, it raises the broader issue of the relationship of history to the study of contemporary foreign policy and how these two enterprises might be better joined."--Jacket.
