Perception and Misperception: Russia Looking Outward and In -- The Russian Institutional Context -- The Wounded Bear and the Rising Dragon -- Partnership with Iran: The Lynchpin of the Axis of Evil? -- Russia and Saddam's Iraq: The Road to Nowhere.

Less than two decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, China,Iran and Iraq number among a cadre of Russia's closest friends. The resolute turn to the West which had characterized Russia's early foreign policy strategy, by the mid-1990s, had been tempered by the move to a more reserved policy. Indeed, the Bush Administration has been marked bydiplomatic tensions with China, unambiguous intentions to end Iran's nuclear program and the invasion of Iraq. The question becomes why Russiahas chosen to jeopardize its embryonic partnership with the West in favour of alignment with b1 schallenger b2 s states like China, Iran and Iraq. On the surface, it would seem that Russian alignment with thesestates suggests a strong connection with the United States. The authorunpacks preconceptions and examines the true extent to which the American factor interacts with Russian economic, domestic security, and regional objectives in driving Russian foreign policy.
