The war in Georgia. Tensions with Ukraine and other nearby
countries. Moscow's bid to consolidate its "zone of privileged
interests" among the Commonwealth of Independent States. These
volatile situations all raise questions about the nature of and
prospects for Russia's relations with its neighbors.
In this book, Carnegie scholar Dmitri Trenin argues that Moscow
needs to drop the notion of creating an exclusive power center out
of the post-Soviet space. Like other former European empires,
Russia will need to reinvent itself as a global player and as part
of a wider community.
Trenin's vision of Russia is an open Euro-Pacific country that
is savvy in its use of soft power and fully reconciled with its
former borderlands and dependents. He acknowledges that this
scenario may sound too optimistic but warns that the alternative is
not a new version of the historic empire but instead is the
ultimate marginalization of Russia.
