Biography
Iver B. Neumann is Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics and a lifelong associate of the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs.
‘With relations between Russia and Europe once again strained, this brilliant analysis provides a powerful historical and philosophical guide to one of the most fateful civilisational encounters of the modern era. This study is essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of contemporary Europe.’ - Richard Sakwa, University of Kent, UK
'If there is only one book to recommend to understand Russia's relations with the West, this is it. Through a beautifully-written and historically rich reconstruction of Russia's Western Other, Neumann provides deep and original insight into this often troubled relationship.' - Ted Hopf, National University of Singapore
