Biography
Andrei P. Tsygankov is Professor of International Relations and Political Science at San Francisco State University, USA. Recent titles include Russia and America: The Asymmetric Rivalry (2019) and The Dark Double: US Media, Russia, and the Politics of Values (2019).
"Given the growing interest in non-western IR contributions, and the current challenges to western hegemony, Andrei Tsygankov's Russian realism is a welcome addition to Routledge's series ‘Worlding beyond the West’."
John Berryman, Birkbeck, University of London, UK, writing in International Affairs, 99.2 (2023)
"Tsygankov’s book focuses on Russian geopolitical thinking and its peripheral attention to the wider context of Russian domestic and foreign policy, making this book required reading for anyone studying Russian foreign policy."
Sanja Tepavcevic, Institute of Advanced Studies Koszeg, Hungary, writing in EuropeNow (2023)
