Bøger af Andrei P. Tsygankov

While focusing on contemporary developments of the Russian state, this book highlights those developments' roots in the historic concept of autocracy. The central scholarly question is not whether Russia will recreate a strong state, but, rather, what kind of a strong state it will be and under which circumstances it will function.

Intellectual ideas on ""international community"" can contribute to how cultures perceive one another. These ideas can be misunderstood if they are framed in a culturally exclusive way. This text examines how Russian elites engage American ideas of world order and why they perceive them as unlikely to promote a just or stable international system.

Drawing on detailed case studies of Latvia, Ukraine and Belarus, Andrei Tsygankov explores how culture shapes foreign economic policy in post-Soviet states, bringing a national identity perspective to bear on international political economy theory.
