An investigation of the evolution of Soviet foreign policy from the
Revolution of 1917 until the end of the Soviet era, tracing the
origins and characteristics of Soviet external strategies from
their Marxist-Leninist roots through to the collapse of communism.
There is a careful analysis of Soviet foreign policy alongside the
inception of the Bolshevik state with its global manifesto of
revolutionary change; Stalin's struggle to survive the twin threats
of a revisionist Germany and militant Japan through alliance with
the capitalist states; the expansion of Soviet power in the closing
stages of World War II and the subsequent Cold War; the Soviet
search for some form of accommodation with the West from the 1960s
onwards; the attempts of successive leaderships to find a way of
regenerating the failing Soviet system and the impact of economic
weakness on Soviet behaviour in both the Third World and Eastern
Europe. Based on a wide range of sources, including Russian
materials that have become available since the end of the Cold War,
this work differs from many standard accounts in its emphasis of
the factional nature of decision-making over external strategies
and its description of competing strains in Soviet thinking about
the outside world.
