 | This thesis examines the alleged assurances made to Moscow during German unification discussions in 1989-1990. Specifically, Moscow alleges that Western governments offered assurances to the Soviet Union that NATO would not expand beyond its then current borders if Moscow agreed to allow a unified Germany to join NATO as a full member. Since the first post-Cold War round of NATO expansion in 1997-1999, Moscow has raised the issue of broken ... |

| East-West relations have noticeably deteriorated, and Russia's behavior has become commensurately more self-assertive. Key arms control achievements are in jeopardy, and Russia claims to be facing an array of growing threats, most prominently from America. In fact, Russia demands more respect from and equality with Washington and a free hand in world politics. In key respects, Moscow's new foreign policy grows out of the logic of its ever more autocratic ... |

| A powerful Russia is once again a fact of life, and Russians know it. They are no longer seeing our approval. They have recovered pride in their own traditions and are determined to advance their own interests. The post-Cold War partnership, founded at a time of Russian disorientation and weakness, is history. Russia is not reviving the Cold War, but classical Realpolitik with a strong geo-economic emphasis. Although Russia is ... |

The events of 9/11 necessitated a reorientation of U.S. foreign policy and a new approach to the wider Black Sea security environment. After a decade of decline due to its energy policies, the Russian Federation has recovered and is trying to regain its position as the World's second greatest power. To accomplish this goal, communist Russia uses dirty ... |

| The U.S. core interests and National Security Strategy are founded on Western cultural operatives that assume all nation-states will respond to its influences in a predictable manner. When states do not respond appropriately, people assume they are either recalcitrant or irrational. A decade ago, this approach towards the states of the Asia-Pacific region was highly effective as their economic or military dependency upon the United States, or their fear of ... |

During their 30-year association, Gorbachev certainly recognized that Shevardnadze was like-minded in political thinking and ideology and could serve as a formidable ally in Moscow. But why would the new General Secretary call on a non-Russian with virtually no experience in foreign affairs to serve as Foreign Minister and ... |

In the 1970s, by contributing to the intensification of the Sino-Soviet conflict and the Soviet-American competition, and the normalization of Sino-American relations, the Soviet threat resulted in a defacto alignment of the United States, Japan, the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), the Republic of Korea (ROK), ... |
