RUSSIA AND THE NEW STATES OF EURASIA: The Politics of Upheaval

By Karen Dawisha and Bruce Parrott

This books provides an analysis of the determinants of foreign policy. Dawisha and Parrott focus on the interaction between domestic and foreign factors in shaping international roles and relationships: the historical legacies of the then new states; the resurgence of ethnicity and debates over national identity; the revival of religion; the emergence of new sociopolitical groups; economic imperatives and determinants; attempt to recast policy priorities and styles of decision-making; steps to divide the Red Army and nuclear weapons; and other debates of military futures and global security.
