EN / Explaining Change in Russian Foreign Policy - a book review

Christian Thorun undertook the challenging task of systematising this process as Russia was seeking its new 21st century identity. In a changing political and economic climate, re-establishing national security’s principles was not an immediate process and, as the title may suggest, different ideas played their role in shaping Russia’s foreign policy thinking.
