- Summary:
- Russian leaders and foreign policy actors remain focused on defending the sanctity of the country's borders and promoting its national interests. While a preoccupation with national interests and sovereignty is not unusual for any state, such concems do not encompass the full complement of international political challenges in today's globalized and heavily interdependent world. By examining complex and ongoing issues of interdependence, the contributors to this volume analyze this increasingly important dimension of Russian politics. They do so largely by examining the domestic politics and processes that shape Russia's international engagement, asking how domestic policymaking processes condition and respond to Russia's approach to globalization. They explore how Russia's policy actors understand and seek to meet the political challenges of the twenty first century. The thematic focus is on Russian engagement with areas of policy relating broadly to globalization, including energy, climate, health, finance, foreign direct investment and international terrorism.
