Book synopsis

This collection of essays by a distinguished group of international scholars is the first to analyse current Russian policies in China, Japan, and the two Koreas. Although Russia was a rising power in Asia a century ago, historical and political events have diverted attention from this potential site of development. The essays in "Imperial Decline" describe the major changes that have occurred in Russia's relations with China, Japan, and South Korea under Boris Yeltzin's presidency, speculating about both Russia's future in the region and the impact this future could have on relations with the United States.Contributors to this volume demonstrate how incoherent taxation and investment, uncoordinated and contradictory economic policies, runaway inflation and currency instability, and problems of defence now constrain the possibility of Russia expanding its economic influence in the region. This book is essential for students and scholars of international relations, foreign policy, and Russian history. Contributors of this book are: Stephen J. Blank, Bruce A. Elleman, Harry Gelman, Hongchan Chun , Rajan Menon, Alvin Z. Rubinstein, Oles M. Smolansky, Henry Trofimenko, and Charles E. Ziegler.
