Examining US-China-Russia Foreign Relations explores the changing nature andfunction of the US–China–Russia strategic triangle from the end of the ColdWar up to the present.Gregory Hall uses neoclassical realist international relations (IR) theory toargue that, since the mid-2000s, the politics of the strategic triangle have beenincreasingly influenced by factors related to the Big3 countries’ respective domesticenvironments. Hall utilizes agency and context for each of the three great powers,expanding on previously established frameworks to include a comparative analysisof each actor’s domestic environment for foreign policy and the interplay betweenthe domestic and external contexts. In IR terms, the book identifies and illustrateshow factors including systemic, state and societal, individuals, and small groupsinfluence the foreign relations of the Big3. Hall concludes by exploring the futureprospects for great power relations and for global affairs.Incorporating both theoretical and empirical data to offer a fresh and timelylook at the myriad challenges facing the three powers, this book provides anexcellent companion to students of foreign policy, international security, andpost-Cold War international politics.Gregory O.
