RUSSIA AND THE WEST FROM ALEXANDER TO PUTIN - A...

Since Russia has re-emerged as a global power  its foreign policies have come under close
scrutiny. In Russia and the West from Alexander to Putin  Andrei P. Tsygankov identifies honor
as the key concept by which Russia's international relations are determined. He argues that
Russia's interests in acquiring power  security and welfare are filtered through this cultural
belief and that different conceptions of honor provide an organizing framework that produces
policies of cooperation  defensiveness and assertiveness in relation to the West. Using ten
case studies spanning a period from the early nineteenth century to the present day - including
the Holy Alliance  the Triple Entente and the Russia-Georgia war - Tsygankov's theory suggests
that when it perceives its sense of honor to be recognized  Russia cooperates with the Western
nations  without such a recognition it pursues independent policies either defensively or
assertively.
