Traditionally Russia has been overlooked as an East Asian nation. But with a long Pacific coast line and a strategic border with China, it has not only a geographic presence in the region, but can be rightly called a power in East Asia. This volume explores Russia’s post-Cold War relationships with its neighbors in Central, East, South, and Southeast Asia.
