Shiraev and Zubok analyze growing anti-Americanism in Russia, now high again after several years of "honeymoon" with the United States. An evaluation of this phenomenon is significant for assessments of current and future international developments and especially some worst-case scenarios in light of further steps towards European integration, NATO expansion, and of future regional conflicts. This analysis is also crucial for theoretical and popular discussions about the course of democratic transition, as well as the practical aspects of the nature of relations between democracies. Shiraev and Zubok investigate to what extent Russian anti-Americanism is a phenomenon of a democratic polity and thus challenges a quite popular democratic peace thesis stating that spread of democracy makes international tension and conflicts far less frequent and profound.

the russian mindset explored

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2001

americans, so often victim of their mirror-imaging when trying to figure out other peoples and their decision making, seem to have a problem to adequately reckon the 'otherness of others'. the russian mindset has been - mostly because of the cold war emerging after yalta and potsdam, but even prior to it, and thereafter still - been more baffling then clear to americans of all social and political strata. what could be made up by living in russia for a few years, or perhaps reading the collected works of solshenyzin and co. can be, with a certain focus on the topic at hand, made up by reading this book the scientific rigidity of which is belied by the flowing and even gripping reading it makes for. i have not many a book so compelling in dealing with a topic that may well be considered to be a bit dry otherwise.
