Western social scientists can improve their understanding of post-Soviet Russia by studying the new discipline of Russian International Relations (IR). This collection introduces recent developments in Russian international studies. It identifies key trends in Russian IR knowledge that are reflective of the transitional nature of Russia’s post-Soviet change. The volume also demonstrates that Russia remains open to different theoretical and ideological traditions. It invites scholars to move away from excessively West-centered IR scholarship by exploring indigenous Russian perceptions and inviting dialogue across the globe.Andrei Tsygankov and Pavel Tsygankov on Russia’s identity and IR theory; Alexander Sergunin on post-communist international discussions; Tatyana Shakleyina and Alexei Bogaturov on the Russian Realist school of international relations; Pavel Tsygankov and Andrei Tsygankov on the discourse of Russian Liberal IR theorists; Mikhail Ilyin on the Russian study of globalization and equity; Eduard Solovyev on Russian geopolitics; Nail Mukharyamov on studies of ethnicity in post-Soviet Russia; Stanislav Tkachenko on Russian international political economy; Marina Lebedeva on Russian studies of international negotiations.
