What is The foreign policy of Russia : changing systems, enduring interests about?

<p>Donaldson (political science, U. of Tulsa) and Nogee (emeritus, politics, U. of Houston) describe and explain the foreign policy of Russia (and the Soviet Union) from its Tsarist roots to the present day. They explain the continuities of Russia's balance-of- powers policy as a consequence of the international system. In looking at discontinuities, they identify the shift form multipolarity to bipolarity, the growth of communist polycentrism, the collapse of communism, the emergence of the possibility of nuclear annihilation, shifting military abilities vis-a-vis the United States, changing political structures, the failure of the command economy, and leadership personalities as the most important factors influencing policy direction.
