Opis

The realignments in Russia's foreign policy since 1991 not only say much about Russian self-perceptions and national capabilities but also about the dangers and possibilities in cooperation between it and the wider world. This collection provides international perspectives on the evolution of Russia's foreign relations and analyses official Russian responses to major regional and international developments, including NATO and EU enlargement, the post-September 11 international war on terrorism and the continuing conflicts in the Caucasus.
