| Abstract | "Despite the increased interest in Russia and its international behavior, current analyses leave much unexplained. Damian Strycharz fills this gap in the literature by analyzing leaders' perceptions and the interactions between internal and external factors shaping foreign policy decisions. Challenging existing interpretations of Russian foreign policy and advancing our understanding on how role dynamics occur in non-democracies, Strycharz examines Russia's reactions to the 2003-4 color revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine, the Five-Day War in Georgia and the Euromaidan Revolution. He argues that divergent reactions to these upheavals result from a profound change in the leadership perceptions of Russia's international responsibilities. Consequently, a shift in the understanding of Russia's international duties and departure from the Western partner role resulted in more assertive foreign policy behavior exemplified by the intervention in Georgia and the annexation of Crimea. The book demonstrates that processes of foreign policy formation in Russia are more complex and include more actors than commonly assumed. Role Theory and Russian Foreign Policy is an ideal resource for scholars and researchers of International Relations, Foreign Policy, and Post-Soviet Politics"-- Provided by publisher. |
