The strategically located Russian far East-a vast expanse
stretching from Lake Baikal to the Pacific Ocean-is notable not
only for its rich natural resources, but also for the economic
challenges, internal dissent, and risks of foreign encroachment
that it faces. Rensselaer Lee and Artyom Lukin explore the history,
economics, and politics of the RFE in the context of its
geopolitical significance both regionally and internationally. Lee
and Lukin address questions that have become increasingly important
in current global politics: What are the implications, for example,
of Russia's growing economic dependence on China? Could the
emerging Sino-Russian entente result in the RFE becoming a de-facto
appendage of the PRC? To what extent is Moscow willing, or able, to
strengthen its links to its neighbours other than China? Can Russia
and the US act in partnership to further their common interests in
the region? As they suggest answers, the authors shed much needed
light on a previously understudies topic.
