Russia in the Pacific approaches the puzzle of why Russia, with much of its huge territory straddling Asia, has not had more success in establishing a position as a great power in the Asia Pacific. Charles E. Ziegler examines Russia's Asia strategy from imperial expansion in the ninteenth century through Vladimir Putin's twenty-first century diplamatic, economic, and military pivot towards the Asia Pacific. Using an analytically eclectic approach, Zeigler combines a focus on military and economic power with close attention to domestic politics, culture, and questions of national identity.
