Alexander Lukin is Head of the International Relations Department at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
"This is a phenomenal study of the Russia-China rapprochement in
the post-Cold War world. It provides an insider's perspective based
on reliable empirical and documentary accounts, and combines 'what
is' with what the author thinks 'should be."
—Wang Jisi, Institute of International and Strategic Studies at
Peking University "Lukin is one of the most perceptive, original
and theoretically sophisticated analysts of the current shifts in
world politics. This study is an invaluable addition to the
literature, defining Russian-Chinese relations as part of the
emergence of a counter-weight to the West. This is a powerful and
convincing interpretation, and is essential reading for anyone
trying to make sense of international politics today."
—Richard Sakwa, University of Kent "In China and Russia: The New
Rapprochement, Alexander Lukin dismisses the growing power gap
between Russia and China and portrays the relationship as pragmatic
and shaped by what he sees as objective developments in global
politics. Lukin prioritizes geopolitical and strategic aspects,
while considering other dimensions of the relationship, including
the economic one, as secondary."
—The China Quarterly "A timely and interesting book... highly
informative."
—Changing Character of War Centre "Alexander Lukin has usefully and
with clarity encapsulated the prevailing Russian perspective on the
Sino-Russian relationship. Readers will find much of interest in
his chapters."
—The China Journal "A highly informative book packed with
interesting information…Lukin's sources and analysis are very good
and his knowledge of China is most impressive. He is particularly
good at identifying the most important features of every field of
the Russo-Chinese relations. The chapters covering political,
military, economic and energy issues are particularly good. The
author's conclusions after every chapter are also excellent and are
likely to be used by many governments and business."
