Discover a pivotal examination of the intricate dynamics between Russia and America in 'Russia and America.' This compelling book, published by John Wiley & Sons, delves into the deteriorating relations that have reached an all-time low, especially following the controversial 2016 US presidential election. With an ISBN of 9781509531141, this brand-new 272-page volume, released in 2019, features insights by esteemed scholar Andrei P. Tsygankov. He challenges the conventional notion that US-Russia relations have entered a new Cold War. Instead, Tsygankov posits that Russia's strategy must be analyzed within the evolving global landscape. As America attempts to sustain its dominant position, Russia—considered the weaker power—cleverly utilizes its asymmetric capabilities and alliances with non-Western nations to uphold its interests and effectively navigate US pressures. This essential read also explores various critical areas of conflict, including European security, the implications of cyber warfare, nuclear strategies, and energy politics, painting a complex picture of two nations enveloped in suspicion and conflict. Unpacking the nuances of these international relations, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in geopolitics and the ongoing saga between Russia and America.

Description:


In recent times, US-Russia relations have deteriorated to what both sides acknowledge is an śall time low.ťÂ Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election and Putin™s continued support for the Assad regime in Syria have placed enormous strain on this historically tense and complex relationship


In one of the first analyses of the evolving Trump-Putin relationship, leading scholar of Russian foreign policy Andrei P. Tsygankov challenges the dominant view that US-Russia relations have entered a new Cold War phaseRussia™s US strategy, he argues, can only be understood in the context of a changing international order. While America strives to preserve its global dominance, Russia”the weaker power”exploits its asymmetric capabilities and relations with non-Western allies to defend and promote its interests, and to avoid yielding to US pressuresFocusing on key areas of conflict and mutual convergence”from European security to China and the Middle East, as well as cyber, nuclear, and energy issues”Tsygankov paints a nuanced and unsentimental picture of two countries whose ties are likely to remain marked by suspicion and conflict for years to come.
