First Published in 2015. The chapters in this text examine the foreign policies of Russia and other selected states of the former Soviet Union. Each chapter analyses the conduct of foreign policy with the context of each state's unique situation. While the authors look at different countries and subregions and analyse various policy factors and imperatives, they all tend to agree that at present no other power has more direct and substantial impact on the foreign policies and international relations of the region than Russia.
