Russian Foreign Policy: Interests, Vectors, and Sectors;

Grounded firmly in the post-Cold War era, Nikolas K. Gvosdev and Christopher Marsh's Russian Foreign Policy: Interests, Vectors, and Sectors covers not only contemporary Russian policies towards the various regions of the world, but also looks at the interactions between the various constituencies that shape and influence Russian foreign policy. This framework of looking at the sectors within each vector is an effective and comprehensive way for students to learn Russian foreign policy. While providing important historical context and exposure to the scholarly literature, the authors cover each vector, from the United States, to Eastern and Western Europe, to East Asia, China, and South Asia, to the BRICS. Within each vector chapter, major topical issues such as oil and energy, defense policy, economic policy, the role of international institutions, and the impact of major interest groups or influencers will be highlighted.
