Recenzje

"This is a phenomenal study of the Russia–China rapprochement in the post–Cold War world. It provides an insider′s perspective based on reliable empirical and documentary accounts, and combines ′what is′ with what the author thinks ′should be."
Wang Jisi, Institute of International and Strategic Studies at Peking University

"Lukin is one of the most perceptive, original and theoretically sophisticated analysts of the current shifts in world politics. This study is an invaluable addition to the literature, defining Russian–Chinese relations as part of the emergence of a counter–weight to the West. This is a powerful and convincing interpretation, and is essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of international politics today."
Richard Sakwa, University of Kent

"Today, Russia and China are well into the third decade of a post–cold war relationship and are filirting with the idea of a new alliance. [...] Alexander Lukin, a Russian scholar of China, takes up the question in a bold new book explaining the Russia–China project and where it is headed."
